Stopped in the UK due to BSE, and not being able to audit ingredients. I wonder if cockcroach protein powder would bypass brain wasting disease and other nasties.
Side issue, at some point (probably still are) they were selling downloadable DRM content (not noticed with Sounds), of shows you have already paid for. I'm still bitter about their digital archive project that they…
Opting out is a hassle.
I have the GA speaker version of the podcast player. And navigating, bookmarking and selection is horrible. To the point, I've abandoned it. I do listen to BBC radio streams, but most of this content, if the songs are…
Probably is a drive from the BBC itself into a closed DRM platform. Their BBC Sounds app is woeful. License fee payers are treated like complete dirt. Being charged multiple times for the same content. It's about time…
Oh I've totally got an Internet problem regarding my laptop. So understand how that could translate to a mobile. Mine is just a little less conspicuous. I can type relatively easily on a keyboard after many years,…
That's not to say that I don't waste oodles of time on my personal computer. I certainly have some addiction there. I've lost months to what amounts to not a lot through computer use.
That's interesting, I'm similar. I've just gotten my first smartphone. Weirdly I'm not that drawn to it. It feels a bit too passive for me compared to my laptop. And it's just too large and clunky. Used it twice for…
Sound support? I still have various sound issues on Debian, to the point I just can't be bothered to sort it out. It kind of works.
I'd get annoyed with many sealed offerings with soldered hardware. It's not just Chromebooks.
My partner has an Acer £250 Chromebook and their work machine is a £1000 HP, I bought a £140 Lenovo, and the build quality of the HP and Lenovo is on par. The case and screen on the ACER is better than both. The battery…
There's lots of mileage building on top of pre-built platforms. I know many people who are doing very well, who can barely cope with hosting their sites or write code, but can work and skin other systems.
I'm partially encouraged by this. It's great that a small business is in a position to build their own site.
I do use tags with firefox, but I juggle chromium, opera and other browsers and systems.
Certainly alarming to see. Mine build up, I keep them for a few weeks, bookmark a few, and burn the lot periodically - which suggests I shouldn't have bothered with them in the first place. My bookmarks are dumped in a…
I can't really comment about what other's care about and use the web for. I've never met anyone that even uses Instagram!
I still like the idea of a peer to peer web, with something like hosting in your own browser. This could be a great alternative fallback network with distributed DNS. Most phones are capable. Energy, speed and security…
Badly worded, I'm not chasing after new and US releases. I do watch films and I do follow the news, though not that obsessively. And while the UK press will flag Trump's exploits and major disasters, the US doesn't get…
No, totally honest. Not interested in movies.
Not that true in myopic UK. We know your president, and big news events. I can't even list one US box office movie from this year.
Yeah I still use it. I never used a messaging app post gtalk. So many different platforms, it just became a nightmare. I am still after a lovely opensource cross-platform simple distributed secure messaging and video…
But there are many rewards to wrapping these products up. MS did well with their little tabbed UIs and checkboxes. It felt more like a mixing desk, easier than say discovering and typing command line options. I don't…
Then there should be a push for anonymous open data sets.
Aside: FOSS UIs may stink, but I've never really understood this. As the UI should be the easy bit. That said most web sites, browsers and even the desktop still has quite a poor interface. Remarkable given the…
How about a self cleaning toilet?
