Yes, the article lost a significant amount of credibility right from the start by bringing up Durov and his well-known, ongoing rivalry with WhatsApp. Telegram is a much worse mess…

use IMAP and your fav. e-mail client. Gmail's UI has sucked for ages. Totally unusable for pro users.

they are not. their design is done well to make it hard to circumvent the light.

yeah, I've tried their 24" 4k monitor, was okay, but not great, so returned. 24" is the max size I can tolerate with short-sightedness, but avoid using glasses for the monitor.

yeah.. nice to look up yourself on many of those filez =)

"There is online booking system, but it never shows any available slots. But then there are few companies that for 50-100 euros can get an appointment." ^^^ shouldn't complain abou…

Another substitute joins unhealthy Aspartame ranks! Ban sweeteners which are just destroying taste of everything and bring back natural sugars, focus on teaching for responsible co…

"The sale was rushed through ahead of a rise in the UK’s stamp duty surcharge for overseas buyers".. really? A billionaire can't afford UK's stamp duty??

He has his own agenda. And probably asked ChatGPT to refine the text. It's quite dull. Also with constantly pushing Telegram as "secure" messenger (and belittling competitors for "…

Ukraine - as how it wants to exist in the present: West-oriented and with Ukrainian-speaking population - can exist without these parts Russia demands. Those parts were Russia orie…

Damn.. even though we were both on the same reverse-engineering/cracking scene back in the '90s, but I can't immediately recall his scene nickname -- his full name has immediately …

I just can't stand email OTP. Before we had passwords, now we have passwords + email OTP. And doesn't matter if you forgot password - you will receive password reset to the same em…

UX/UI is steadily going downhill on everything where it was "re-designed". I feel new generation wants to re-imagine everything, at a cost of usability.

no, there shouldn't be a photo, only a hash, which is useless by itself.

And vitalik.eth was just essaying on how important privacy protocols are and how Ethereum must adopt them... Let EU ban ETH then and shift closer to the caveman era and be even mor…

isn't it unhealthy to exercise after meals?

Be aware that OpenAI API credits expire after a year. I've added $5 year ago expecting to use the API, but only consumed $.02 or something. The API started throwing out "Too many r…

Yes yes! It all happened too fast. From my ZX, to my first x86, next year 286, end of year 386.. first 10MB hard drive.. and BBS on it.. first downloaded .mp3 from FidoNet .. 486..…
