    I put my genital images in my Windows so that if they leak it I can get compensation and become a millionaire.

    Nah, their screen mirroring with Airplay is already open. They had remote desktop with the VNC protocol forever and that even isn't encrypted.

    Oh, why care about key loggers. They are rare. On the other hand, a serially killer in my house would kill me literally!

    And that's how they play their trick. We power users much prefer a macOS with a useless touch UI over the iPadOS as it is.

    There's a solution. All these iPadOS problems can be solved by installing macOS. Look, we now have touch pad support (and keyboards since long ago). There's no technical problem fo…

    Patema Inverted is in the league there, graphics wise. It's crazy how nobody had ever tried the idea of the character pov of falling towards the sky. The immersive feeling is real …

    Yes. I prefer having tools that do one thing well. That's the point of unix. How the user uses them should be up to her. GNOME offering a monolithic environment with heavy opiniona…

    Well, yes, rsync to replace scp. Sftp's also regarded a hack anyway imho. The write-only scp intrigues me. I guess it's not hard to write a program to do that. But, right, that's n…

    I think flatpak is closer to .app bundles. So, the argument is a little unfair.

    The blog is flawed. 33MB is likely no problem for the web. It's just that Google Docs devs haven't cared about that size probably because hardly anybody creates a huge doc on their…

    This is cool, but the government wouldn't be keen on updating the cables, would they? You'd be locked in to whatever cable the local government can afford.

    Tbf Vulkan is not intended for an endprogrammer. It is a deliberately low level standardization to allow directly control GPU hardware. The high-level approach (OpenGL) failed. The…

    Won't China just move the ownership to a paper company (like an offshore one) though?

    Apple was always rotten unless Jobs kicked their ass. Once they kicked Jobs out and he came back to kick their ass again. He was the hero.

    Sideloading isn't free on iOS. You have to pay $100/year to run your app on your phone. Because sEcUrItY, which makes no sense.

    That's a common misconception about free software. Free software is about the user's right to see and modify the software. Doesn't mean people can't do business with it. You're rig…

    It's about the stupid fees for Apple, iirc. So, they'll arrive in the end. Just not now.

    What's more stupid is that I can't install my app to my phone. Because it's supposedly not secure according to Apple. Even more stupid is that if I pay the annual developer fee to …
