I was looking to replace it for quite some time now due to the Safari extension and also the website being very buggy with tags for too long. I didn’t have time to investigate alte…

Not if the argument is essentially about dictionary definitions. FWIW, if I had to imagine someone saying something is amazing without any context my understanding would tend towar…

A common theme with residential (other types don't have these problems, like museums, public office spaces, hospitals, etc.) brutalist buildings is that they were built as low-cost…

Might be helpful for people interested in this, an acquaintance of mine recently started working on a project for an online archive of socialist modernist concrete-based (so not on…

I just compared some prices in Italy. * Lowest spec 14 inch MBP (16/512 GB) 2349€ * 15 inch XPS, i9, 16/512 GB, RTX 3050 Ti, maxed out screen (with Windows Home, heh) - 2849€, this…

People don't try to kill themselves, even if they're 12, just because they "get sucked" into some website. There's a deeper reason she went into it than merely being an otherwise m…

But said "nope" a couple of years after. They are now on standard time year round.

OK, European here, maybe it's just the title wording, but the article left me somewhat confused. For as long as I can remember ('80s child) I was convinced that the US car market (…

Another recipient could also work for cops, which is also pretty hard to check.

The space race was hardly a factor is the demise of USSR. Even the arms race wasn't that big of a factor by itself. Soviet Union's economy being incredibly wasteful was what done t…

Pass doesn't handle your "master password" at all, it's completely delegated to GnuPG (pass is really nothing more than a shell wrapper your file system, GnuPG, and Git). Does GnuP…

We already do that, kind of, again in an extremely wasteful manner. Farmed animals get their B12 from supplementation mostly, so pretty much both vegans and non-vegans get it from …

Because it's even more ridiculous than raising normal animals for food. Producing a whole animal minus a functional brain is no less wasteful than raising a normal animal and you h…

The distinction is extremely important as since the breakup of Yugoslavia Serbian nationalists have tried and practically succeeded in erasing Young Bosnia's ideology presenting th…

And thus extremely error prone. I think introducing IDNs at all was a mistake given the (security) cost-benefit tradeoff, and the best solution would be to scrap them but I realize…

It's not that simple. A lot of different characters may or may not look the same depending on the typeface used.

I tried to use and love lenses, but it never really worked out for me.

Agreed on Launcher somewhat. I hide it, but put most frequent applications there and launch them via shortcuts (Super+[1-9]). Instead of menus I use the HUD, and in general I try t…

I'm honestly curious, what is it that you find infuriating with Unity? I hear this often, but never specific reasons. I'm perfectly OK with Unity, and I'm a tiling WM kinda guy (so…
