Why help complete this? If they would be willing to have an open source D2 out there, they can just release the original source code. It would seem even more "ideal" to me.

The save model at the UX level is completely orthogonal to the application file format. You could implement either model with an SQLite DB file.

From the article: > You can sterilize and reuse your face shield. It has been evaluated to be compatible with the following chemicals [...]

Because they don't give tools to law enforcement agencies to enforce their local laws. As a platform, it would be within their power and their right to do so. I think that is prefe…

I wonder just how strange and alien most locals would find the above comment about their town. Not trying to be offensive here, I just find the thought of using Google Street View …

It's a beautiful excerpt, thanks for sharing. Though I can't help but feel that the author's allegory fits a nebula better than "plain" space.

Except they are not extinguishing Linux as a whole, simply phasing it out of their own OS offerings. Linux itself is still alive and thriving, and will continue as such even after …

The message content is fine, even laudable. It's the tone that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. I've been choosing gnu tools over non-free ones whenever I could for over ten yea…

I was also dismayed by the lack of choices in smaller smartphones a few months ago when my Nexus 4 died. I tried an LG G5 for a while but couldn't handle the larger screen. It's no…

Doesn't this Commons Clause goes specifically against one of the core principles of Free Software? The whole idea is that a Free Software license should not restrict what you can d…

Not the person you were replying to, but that was unnecessarily mean. Instead of just poking fun at someone else's ignorance, perhaps you can enlighten them?

While I generally agree with the "if it ain't broke" sentiment, you have to perform some pretty wild mental gymnastics to end up calling COBOL the "best tool for the job". Adoption…

From the FAQ: It is a work in progress. The current version is a rough draft with many problems and placeholders. I am using gitbook and github to keep track of versions of this we…

Name conflict warning: There is already a software project named Textile. Here's the homepage: https://txstyle.org/

This again... If you really believe that the "decline in quality of the web" can be attributed to web developers, then I'm sorry but you're just not seeing the big picture. Markete…

Others have brought up good points, but I'd also add that the ad-hoc solution only supports calling methods on possibly-null objects. If you want to pass a possibly-null object to …

Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to try out the Linux version. Are you using GTK+ for the UI on Linux? Your website does not specify. I'm asking because high-dpi support on…

I think you're absolutely underestimating the consequences of the various antitrust rulings Microsoft had to submit to, especially in the European Union. Even if Microsoft was no l…

Should they also prevent people on Google Chrome to even view the article? Sometimes you have to separate content from container.

There's a third possibility: The definition of maturity is constantly shifting over generations. Each new generation is not "less mature" than the previous, but it's not an illusio…

Isn't this what the author is trying to do? Mark seems to be a superset of JSON.

How is TLS email not decentralized and/or privacy-preserving?

Isn't this basically the strategy as the old Windows 8 on ARM? Ditch all legacy stuff, no backward compatibility... why would this succeed where Win8 on ARM failed?

Unless I'm misunderstanding it, the Substratum project you've linked is attempting to implement a decentralized WEB, not a decentralized INTERNET. From what I gather, Substratum wo…
