    Likewise! Been running the snap version on a $5 DO droplet for half a year now and there's been nothing making me want to go back. Sure the UX can be improved a bit, but it's been …

    I got another one for you! It's 2019, and Office for Windows still uses Internet Explorer to render add-ins built with OfficeJS. This is slated to be switched to Edge (regular edge…

    This supports what I've always wanted in a markdown note taking app... being able to directly copy and paste an image from the clipboard.

    We don't live in that time period anymore. Our current Era is tough in its own ways, without people like you invalidating someone else's troubles. Done be a one-upper.

    That's already been tried. SF spends more on homeless per capita than anywhere else. Time for a police task force of a couple hundred forcing them to get rid of their addiction in …

    Any title that's posed as a question can simply be answered with "No".

    I'm annoyed how the author never actually explained what Corium was. Just described it as "the most toxic substance" and hoped readers would go along with the ride thinking it's so…

    Sorry for asking the obvious question, but this website seems like a play on words for McAfee.com

    And I'm sure that Apple or Samsung could rebrand and have that become the fastest growing smartphone. The Pixel line is literally a new name for the same Nexus line, which was stag…

    Then don't buy an iPhone? I don't understand why people keep bringing up this point. Yes, it's your phone but it's not your app store. One can use an iPhone without ever opening th…

    I am. I'd suggest getting a Pixel or other Android device if Apple's privacy stance bothers you. They will act on behalf of the consumer, regardless if you feel like "but it's my p…

    “He said he went up to a police officer and they didn’t help him. So, then he called me." This is my case with most police officers I've encountered in my area. One isn't going to …

    Not sure how I feel about MS hijacking 7-10GB of a system as a “reserved space” to download Windows updates to. I mean, if that’s what they need to do to get Windows Updates to fun…

    Got a personal Nextcloud instance going with DO and your documentation has been an amazing help. Hats off to you and the rest of the team.

    Looks like Google is finally discovering they are just a SCUMMY advertising company and shouldn't be building consumer products that don't directly feed into that advertising.

    They are scapegoats. The person who ordered the murder, commonly believed to be the Crown Prince, isn't going to face a thing.

    In my anecdotal experience from growing up in California's Central Valley, not one person I knew who became a cop _wanted_ to become a cop. It was always their last "honorable" job…
