Something nobody else seems to have said here, is that Valve's work on Linux, Proton, streaming from one device to another (even phones), etc, puts them in an excellent position fo…

If there was, they could've communicated it clearly already a year ago. There is no reason to give Google the benefit of the doubt, since it's clear they're not trying to get it. I…

The announcement makes it seem like they were doing so anyways, but they are willing to open source it first.

Almost everyone in Finland speaks either good or fluent English. Movies and TV shows aren't dubbed apart from some animated content, usually for kids. Domestic media can only creat…

It runs locally, and if the attacker has that much access, in most scenarios there isn't anything stopping your adversary from just logging your keystrokes and curling the keystore…

SMS 2FA is better than nothing if, and only if, you don't allow password resetting by owning the SMS.

> It just seems to mean "this language catches more errors at compile time than the previous language I used." That is a fair interpretation. I've programmed mostly in C# and Java …

It is (or should be) read as slightly hyperbolic, as there isn't to my knowledge a language that actually works that well. I could water down my message by saying "it mostly works"…

My experience with Rust is that I have to fight the compiler a lot, but when the program compiles, it works . If it doesn't work, it means there's an error with my file/network pat…

Data mining as a business model is fine, as long as the customer is making an informed decision, there are equally good alternatives out there which you can pay for in other means,…

If the copyright expires on author's death, then you're incentivizing convenient accidents and straight up murder.

I've heard about this before. Which manufacturer? Although I'm never buying a smart TV, it's interesting to maintain a mental blacklist of vendors.

I agree. What makes IRC good is that it's a text-only chat with a wide range of highly configurable, blazing fast clients. Not supporting images, quoting or reactions could be cons…

When you aim for the lowest common denominator, you lose the users at the other end of the Bell curve.

You know, the people who talk about USENET and IRC are people who don't want to be "updated" to what modern users demand. I don't know if you've had a look around you lately, but t…

Although this comment was already debunked, I'll add Arch's Firefox PKGBUILD here [1]. And to save you a click, they compile it from a source tarball. [1] https://git.archlinux.org…

I usually adjust my brakes so that my front brake isn't tight enough to throw me over the handlebars in panic. I used to bike a lot (and quite recklessly) in my teens, so I got kin…

Dawn of War hasn't aged very well for me. The camera is super zoomed in and the user interface takes up huge swathes of screen real estate.

It's funny, but whatever remains should actually be html, css and images.

Not once in their announcement did Mozilla mention VPN's.

So is this just a VPN that's baked into the browser? One of the problems with VPNs is that you're putting a lot of faith in your VPN provider. I trust Mozilla, and would gladly pay…
