If you're a US citizen, vote for someone that will keep it going. Some have promised to undo a lot that the current administration has done, and this might be part of that. I'm not…

> I think the easiest solution would be just not to use web fonts at all. Here's another option: plain text. That's right. You can have webpages that are plain text without any HTM…

This is great. But I can't think of a single macOS-only app I'd like to have in Linux, other than Terminal.app, Control Panel, Activity Monitor, etc. Everything else I use already …

> Apple is behaving as if they're a boutique OEM. Not sure what you mean. If they made the computer much faster, I imagine it'd get too hot or noisy. The main failure IMO was that …

I hope that they will continue to keep Torre Girona in as close to its original condition as possible. It's not abnormal for the church to stop using buildings as churches if it ma…
