    I use a 6s on iOS 15. It runs well.

    Weird, I've been using `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` for a lot more than three versions.

    Dendrite is written in Go, Conduit is written in Rust

    Yeah, this was my take away as well. Also, iirc their claims of Alacritty being the "fastest" are dubious at best. I used Kitty for a while instead, which is very similar. More rec…

    They've said they're going to disable FLoC. Still, this is one of the benefits of Firefox, it's not based on Chromium at all so it's out of the question.

    I agree, this is essentially what I was getting at in my original comment. Counter Strike is not Valve's game. They picked it up when it got popular and since then have done less t…

    Yes, top players really are leaving CS for Valorant, though this is mainly limited to the NA scene afaik (two examples who were on top teams: Ethan[0] and nitr0[1]). Other than tha…

    I think Valve's ineptitude in regards to CS:GO becomes easier to explain when considering their history with Counter Strike. The game that became 1.6 wasn't even their game. It was…

    They have https://dendrite.matrix.org , and they use Dendrite to test new features (like Spaces). But its issue is it's not feature complete so I don't think it sees that much usag…

    I'm excited for Dendrite, their new homeserver written in Go which will hopefully solve at least some of these performance issues. I've hosted a Dendrite server for a couple months…

    As the other user said, BattleEye now bans for this. I used a VFIO set up for a number of years but had to switch because of it.

    Ah. So, if a Windows application runs in ring 0, it can put malware in a place such that it can then interact with the Linux install? Is there _any_ way to bypass this, apart from …

    > Some game companies (riot games) even install their anti-cheat software so that is loads in the ring 0 space. Why are separate machines required, rather than dual-booting? (i.e. …

    The outrageous profit Valve make from skins and the like is only half the story imo, their internal structure is the rest. Some of the stories ex-devs share from that place are jus…

    Yes, they removed PWAs from desktop FF. More information: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1682593 Not only did they remove PWA support, they currently have "no plan fo…

    PWAs, Compact Density, what's the next useful feature they'll remove?

    Huh. I guess this'll be what pushes me to finally figure out a proper backup system for my server, so I can trust it with all my photos etc, and remove them from "The Cloud"

    Their silence has been so frustrating. Not even any acknowledgment from the team -- they just keep releasing updates and posting to the forums as if nothing happened. It would be a…

    I’ve already seen websites which I (cynically) assume exploit this new-found aversion I and many others have to green buttons in cookie pop-ups by using differing colour schemes, e…

    Is it TrustArc? I remember having a similar experience with their pop-up, for example on Oracle's website when I'm looking for Java docs: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/ That exam…

    It’s almost impressive what these people have created. Now, when I stumble across the rare “Reject All” button on one of those pop ups, I don’t know if they even really mean “all” …

    I've used both. I have no figures but kitty feels at least as fast as st with infinitely more features and a proper configuration system.

    The release model is a mess. Most people tend to stick with using Spacemacs on the `develop` branch, which means updating via `git pull --rebase` every so often as well as the inbu…

    People can be weird about this sort of thing, especially with Apple. I remember when the iPhone XR came out some people would insist on always writing "iPhone Xʀ", for example.
