I can only think that what they have in mind is a small project with only few people involved. Otherwise anything other than 5 is ridiculous.

I’m genuinely wondering if there is any specific game where you noticed that the Linux version was worse than the Windows version on Proton, and how you verified that the Windows version wasn’t just as bad.

Mind you that, if you have to make a mental note, they have won.

People say this but, if advertising didn’t work, companies would have stopped paying for ads long time ago. It works for them, we view ads and then we are willing to pay more for a product that is worth less; it’s this simple.

The only solution for us is to avoid ads at all cost.

What is “left-pad”? If it does what I think it does, doing that with a LLM would be very wasteful.

EDIT: I remember the event now. Obviously you wouldn’t use a dependency for that. I think I understood your comment now anyway.

I guess forking is an easy way to benefit from others’ work.

I’m wondering if there is any game developer that chooses this fork knowing that it will likely not keep up with upstream features and fixes.

Not something for general users but, for organisations and public figures, having a platform with only verified entities is valuable.

For general users: Mastodon and the Fediverse.

It was born as a villain from the very beginning.

Bounce off from 3.20% to 3.19%? Not the wording I’d use.

Linux Mint has been so great and stable that is really hard to get people to move to something else.

Is this right? Out of curiosity, how do these sites flag themselves as content for adults?

Obviously, this is the solution. Sites that do this correctly, and software that detects the metadata. Parents are the ones that need to choose the correct software and enable the correct settings.

Sites that do not set the correct metadata are legible to be banned by authorities.

That one was compromised. The good fork is “I still don’t care about cookies”.

A period (already a small character) + a space is sufficient to separate sentences.

Also, if there are more than one space together, it’s hard to count them. That is, the more spaces you keep together, the harder it gets to know whether you’ve put the correct number of spaces.

I’d rather Mozilla ask for donations than to give me ads and bloatware. I’d be more than happy to donate periodically. If they don’t correct the current course, I’m not sure for how much longer they’ll keep loyal users like me. I’m sick of having to turn a bunch of things off every time, and of having to be vigilant about the new crap they keep introducing.

I think it is clear that it’s just a matter of time that a faster, more secure, free and open source operating system will win over a worse alternative.

What percentage of people smoke cigarettes compared to the percentage that do cocaine? Perhaps prohibition would dramatically reduce the number of users, even if that number is guaranteed to never reach 0?

I will not watch ads. That’s the first, unbreakable premise. If the service does not provide videos, I leave the service.
