Extensions are one thing, but I'd also welcome granular permissions to various JavaScript capabilities for every website. I don't like when some websites capture native browser hotkeys (CTRL+F), disable my right mouse…
I'm so happy to see it! I had much fun with original OpenComputers, back then I used to wonder if ditching custom Lua OS and running micro Linux VMs would be possible. OpenComputers 2 is the answer, and I'm happy to see…
It was never about creators or dislike attacks. There's a reason why they didn't adopt an opt-in solution. It's about corporations complaining about their ads running on unpopular content. It's about making people waste…
Fair enough. Merely bundling some software was not a violation by itself, but that bundling was also additionally reinforced with "concerted series of actions designed to protect the applications barrier to entry",…
In 2001, Microsoft "constituted unlawful monopolization" under Antitrust Act for bundling a web browser with their operating system. 20 years later, Apple and Google bundle not only their browsers, but whole…
It matters because you could sue a domestic seller for trademark infringement. It's much harder to do so if the seller is under jurisdiction where US trademark law does not apply.
You can still use BitLocker completely without TPM, but it needs an explicit change in Group Policy. If opted in, BitLocker setup will behave much like well known TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt, offering encryption options with a…
It's weird to see the term "App" in relation to anything before iOS era. Back then such software used to be mostly called applications or just programs. [1] [1]…
The lack of typeahead in GtkFileChooser is my biggest annoyance that I've ever come across. Ever since I started using computers nearly 25 years ago I used typeahead to navigate through directories and I can't imagine…
The cursor in input field at the bottom is blinking too, making user think it's focused when in reality is not. It's quite disappointing that it took a Google UX design lead to come up with something like this.
Free speech stands against the financial interests of social media. Reddit is the real estate for ads, and the best value for top global advertisers are safe spaces that are free of controversy. In the end, it's the…
I'm not impressed. Wiki.js is supposedly "built with performance in mind", but its documentation wiki [1] is much slower than any DokuWiki site I could find [2]. It also requires JavaScript to be enabled in the web…
I think the Web Dark Ages are yet ahead of us. I've grown extremely pessimistic with the state of modern web, with corporate censorship and disinformation on ad-driven social media, dissolution of many open Web…
Netscape.
I am under impression that some web designers tend to follow the lowest common denominator, which is the vertical mobile touch display, then enforce the same experience across all platforms. This is why I sometimes see…
It advertises itself as "prevent Google from tracking you around the web", which I consider a false and misleading statement. It doesn't prevent it. It is not "not perfect", it is not even far from perfect. I think it…
That happened behind my ISP's NAT in a densely populated area, so I don't think so, no.
>to prevent tracking I mostly use CookieAutoDelete Removing cookies will not prevent anyone from tracking. Simple example: I once visited an online shop from browser profile in which I never logged into Facebook. Few…
The true nightmare scenario will become true when advancing from plateau of scientific advancements will become too hard for human minds. Maybe it's impossible for people to comprehend or navigate in ideas located above…
