I'm honestly confused why OSMAnd~ (from F-Droid) is never mentioned. I've tried both Organic Maps and CoMaps and I can't find a single reason to use them, OSMAnd has a genuinely insane featureset for a free software app…
I don't really need a tag saying how to reach the place, but better public transport support would go a long way. I also have this issue with places marked as parkings, to determine whether they're public, reachable or…
Youtube survives on google's massive repertoire of products being vastly more profitable, not because it's the best of its kind.
For an article written late last year I hoped for a little more awareness of how massive a security hole granting full, unfiltered access to the X11 server is. Granted, any sandboxing is better than none, but firefox is…
LuaJIT has held back the lua ecosystem for over a decade. There's no reason to not at least try to move the implementation closer to luau or puc lua, not create yet more incompatible syntax
It was just an example of the type of shit they say to sell it, and then walk back from. https://fortune.com/2026/05/26/sam-altman-dario-amodei-walki...
The snake oil is how the people at the top scream "in x years we won't need programmers" and end up proving themselves wrong time and time again. It's a real technology and it can do a lot, but it's being sold like…
I came up with this one on my own many many years ago. Exact order and bs=1M and everything. I taught it that :) Though I usually do the individual partitions before the main disk, to make sure fdisk doesn't complain…
This, in part. The swift deprecation of XUL extensions felt like a kick in the gonads and made me switch to Pale Moon for a while, after which I landed on Firefox ESR to avoid the inmediate impact of bad decisions, and…

The Game Boy Color/GBA also had a web browser in the form of the Mobile Trainer GB, although it didn't allow inputting arbitrary URLs (although one can modify the DNS, it wasn't documented) and its limited subset of…
In Terry's case, the attention visibly fueled his delusions, providing clamoring approval for many of the self destructive things he did, eventually leading to his death. I don't think Drew means he should've been fully…
They already are in the same position. See: Android, ChromeOS.
It's really jarring to still be pinning this on Microsoft, when Google and Apple have been doing the same for free, for years, in iOS, Android and ChromeOS.
Cronie has a mechanism for this, called "anacron", which is called hourly by cron (on my system, /etc/cron.hourly/0anacron), and performs all the /etc/cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} tasks, no matter if the earliest…

It already is, though? I've been using dash as /bin/sh for years, openrc is using that.

Seeing this article, and how much webextensions manage to mess up the browser, I'm wondering how bad this experiment would've been with the legacy XUL extensions. Maybe they had a point in getting rid of them...
I see what happened, I was replying to a different comment, that did mention the GBA audio, when I wrote that, but somehow ended up replying to this one. This comment explains it better than I could:…
gah, you're right, I was thinking of memory protection (as in, marking the relevant regions as read-write and read-execute) when I wrote MMU. It's of course optional, and you can ignore it for trivial examples, but most…
I've never coded for SNES, but the GBA having access to a mainline, modern C compiler is a massive buff. Also, emulators for it have always been available on practically any computer, console and mobile phone, and…
I'd say the GBA is the sweet spot for this. The DS has you dealing with two cores you need to write a firmware for that have to communicate to do anything useful, a cartridge protocol to fetch any extra code or assets…
Same reason all the other mario flash games haven't, not a critical enough mass.
Not a Go dev, but I typically set up a CI with the oldest toolchains I support (usually a debian release), and only bump those versions when I really need something from the latest versions. Locally I build with the…
