Because Apple influenced them. They copied Apple’s model because Apple had been getting away with it, and will likely have to comply with whatever new regulations might result from…

It would be great if the biggest vendors and mail clients would implement things such as email verification (certificates) and the encryption (gpg or similar), and made it as easy …

I’m curious to know if there are active XMPP chatrooms out there that discuss computer science and software engineering. Any recommendations?

The advice I have for you is to try opening Teams in Firefox or Chrome instead of the Electron app. It seems to be more responsive from what I can tell. The native browser notifica…

This is all awesome stuff. Slick wallpaper too.

I concur.

I’d love to see search decentralized and have been toying with this idea for a while. The last concept I hacked together was a custom search plugin for Grav and a command line util…

This is a start on cloning the late great Server Admin app from Mac OS X Server into a web application. It's incomplete functionality-wise, but you are able to click through all of…

Implementing CSRF doesn’t stop an outside party from finding out that you have (for example) an AppleTV inside your network. The device will still return a HTTP status code. You co…

I left Toledo last year and moved to the east coast. I was one of maybe three of my friends who was left at that point. It could be a really great state, but the dying lake and dyi…

Just wait until China figures out next-generation nuclear power generation and eclipses what the US is capable of. They will. Because they don't seem to be concerned with the BS ta…

He’s right, environmentalists don’t want solutions, only perpetual problems. It’s why I can’t take any of them too seriously. They like to say stuff about how we need to fight for …

Shared Albums in the Photos app lets you do just that.

I’ve use PW before and it’s not too bad. The API is really great and so much nicer than working with WP custom fields (etc). The only downside was the back office... a bit dated (l…

I’m totally with you. I couldn’t imagine having to live for 20 hours in a plane. Of course, this wouldn’t be a thing if we had supersonic flight.

This. Trade deals like NAFTA totally destabilized (if not disintegrated) industrialized regions of the US. This may not be the only cause of suicide, but it’s part of the story for…

I can’t answer for everyone in the Midwest, but from what I saw, no one trusted HRC. And if you were paying attention, it was revealed that politics “is like making suasage,” and t…

The Midwest sees educated people as an inconvenience or a threat? Goddamn. Where did you get that idea from? Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. The problem is that…

Higher education is turning more and more into over-priced crap. I’m not sure that this is the solution.

Try Flint Town.

It's not about the government, it's about the oligarchs. The US governmemt is a puppet, and the ventriloquist are the oligarchs. I see what you're saying, but I suspect that the ol…
