No mobile support. I get that a desktop UI framework doesn't want to target smartphones, but I think iPads (and bigger Android tablets) can cope well with more traditional desktop …

Many countries do not legally permit the extradition of their own citizens. In Germany, extradition is generally only allowed to other EU countries, which meant the German governme…

I don't know, I don't think there are many open-source third-party firmware implementations for these kinds of chipsets out there, so it seems pretty well obscured.

I think often it's also a combination of what you described and big companies being super risk-averse. Why risk breaking regulations if you can just say no? Then again, lots of Wi-…

The changes have been committed and pushed to a branch of the main (Apache-licensed) repo, with the clear intention of eventually being merged into the main branch. So it’s hard to…

Ugh... I guess legally it's okay (as the whole code including the website seems to be Apache-licensed) but the optics are not great...

As someone who moved to the UK from abroad, it was crazy for me to see how unequal the UK is geographically. The main one is obviously the divide between London/everywhere else, bu…

At least Edinburgh is brown. But seriously, my main problem with Aberdeen is psychological. It feels so far from everywhere else. In Glasgow and Edinburgh, you're much closer to th…
