Yeah, and with FOSS this is all the more important. No one is going to play your game, if it's not fun. Few people are going to play your game, while it's not yet in some tangible way better than DF. And if people don't…
Actually consented, as in understood the implications and freely decided that Google should have this data, probably none. That would take a lot of generosity, especially to pay that team of lawyers and technical…
I'm really enjoying Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup at the moment. Especially as a game for when I don't actually have time. It takes like two seconds to go from desktop to in-game, continuing your previous run, and saving…
No one forces you to use the feature, just because it's there. Other people do find it useful and they have every right to do so.
> It seems wilfully destructive to remove something that is depended on by so many without making sure there's a replacement in place first. Could cut straight to the GNOME logo after that sentence. This is sort of what…
Could've at least tried to not be misleading and spelt out "Adblock Plus".
Externally "testing" a filesystem isn't exactly easy either. If an error occurs, there's not gonna be an exception thrown that you can send off to telemetry. If you're lucky, your customer notices that files are…
> It is personality focused, and sexual appeal is going to be part of it. Well, exactly that is debateable. Sexual appeal is often coupled with a completely flat or acted personality. And if they have somewhat of a…
* Can be self-hosted. * Queries other search engines besides just Google. * Has more search options.
Well, most design people also have side projects, be it a Tumblr page or an endless supply of drawings that they just do to improve their drawing skills. But that's different from helping an (OSS) application look good.…
When evaluating a VPN service for trustworthiness, I always look at what their webpage loads in terms of tracking scripts. Basically, if you offer me the service to protect my IP address and don't even have the decency…
The fear is that this makes it far too easy to use DRM for webpage owners. Previously, you had to pull in a slow-ass Flash-plugin or similar, which was very much known to bring all kinds of security issues. Now you just…
It's not purely a C++ vs. Java thing. Minecraft was simply never intended to be this big of a game. It was initially designed to be really just a game where you place blocks on other blocks. The Survival-mode, fighting…
It doesn't have as big of a modding ecosystem as Minecraft, simply because it doesn't have even a fraction of the community, but apart from size, I don't think I would agree on its modding ecosystem being less amazing.…
Right, but at this point, German privacy laws are pretty horrible, too, and getting worse as we speak. The BND (German intelligence agency) also works closely with the NSA, and considering what's publicly known, it…
1) I didn't say that they are there for no reason, rather that there is no reason why there can't be a simple switch which turns everything off in an easily accessible way, or heck even having everything off by default.…
DuckDuckGo is also mostly just a meta-search engine. They do have their own webcrawler, but most results are still sourced from Yahoo!, Bing and the like.
Here's a fun game for the family: Search for "cheesecake" in your search engine of choice and then count how many links you have to check before you find a webpage which does not connect to one of: Google, CloudFlare,…
