Feature, not a bug. "Want support? Pay us."

> experimental attempts emphasizing ease of use yes, i would define them very much as experimental

In any normal deployment, you're probably not going to be pushing even a 1.5gbps through these during heavy use. The real benefit of 7E is reduced latency, not bandwidth. If you ne…

I'd say that if you're trying to find the Mint/Ubuntu/Zorin/elementary of BSD, then it's not really for you. The BSD ecosystem isn't really driven by ease of use, today they're mor…

I can think of a lot of reasons why companies and startups would find it bad for their use cases tbh. It's hamstrung by microsoft licensing and ecosystem, and while building tools …

> irrational bias Then say it. :)

Anyone who's worked out on a regular basis can confirm this. And it's not just anecdotal, significant components such as creatine simply don't exist in vegan meals without suppleme…

> But Android also lets you run custom builds Yes, but that is only one component of a modern phone. Basebands and system bootloaders, among other firmwares, don't receive updates.…

I'm not sure if you're familiar with how Touch ID and the secure enclave works?

A friendly reminder to all that Threema had some serious flaws in their cryptography model, and their response was lackluster, to put it nicely. https://breakingthe3ma.app/ > In ou…

Not open, not transparent, makes a bunch of claims without backing them up. If this was a side project, I'd be more forgiving. If it was someone's attempt at building their own sig…

Gosh, there's so much wrong here. > weird slow proprietary They're often not weird, a simple single task runner with a few libraries to handle common tasks and cryptographic operat…

Google says "regulatory uncertainty". It sounds like they're unhappy with Canadian regulators. Be thankful your government is giving them enough grief.

A more plausible explanation was that the cable strain of not using a specialty cable was also an issue. Look at where the cable attaches to the mouse on a conventional mouse - it'…

You misunderstand how textsecure worked.

Yes, I wouldn't say it's the biggest problem. But it has created a serious block against housing liquidity. Something that protects seniors and those on fixed incomes from losing t…

Funnily enough, one of the biggest problems this state has is Prop 13. It's hard to repeal, although we've had 40~ years to fix it. > Passage of the initiative presaged a "taxpayer…

Fortunately, it's gotten a lot better since then. But yeah, it's still rough.

> It would take many, many thousands of homes. Yes. It would. And we need to build them.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Tumblr allowing adult content would probably get it removed from app stores. Only a few major apps get away with it, and when they're gone, the…

> Why does Google currently pays Apple then? Because Apple knows how to play hardball. > Why choose Google if they don't benefit from it? They benefit about $20B a year.

" I'd gladly pay you if " no, you wouldn't.

> How do make sure they're operable in the event of a far too common electrical outtage? I never got this concern. Gas pumps are powered by electricity, and you're not going to han…
