LMAlVvQjSGj··on Ask HN: Examples of reliable software you enjoy using
Spotify has been nearly unusable for me ever since Spotify moved to Chromium Embedded.

Something is wrong when I have to wait several seconds so scroll further down a list of song names.

LMAlVvQjSGj··on OpenBSD Foundation Announces New Silver Donor: Yandex
People using OpenBSD expect the changes you speak of. It's a price to pay for superior security.
LMAlVvQjSGj··on Windows 10 Free Upgrade Available in 190 Countries Today
The Media Center addition was given to early adopters of Windows 8 for free.

Can they actually sue users when the copyright holders are the ones distributing the content?
LMAlVvQjSGj··on Stuff in Space
In S01E01 of TOS, didn't they visit a planet with extremely humanoids?
LMAlVvQjSGj··on Encrypting Windows Hard Drives
It's a pathetic stance.
LMAlVvQjSGj··on A YouTube built for gamers
Only AAA titles are translated into anything but English, and even those are just translated into a handful of languages.

I know people from all over Europe, they all expect gaming content to be English.

I'm Norwegian, but I run all my software in English. Linux distributions are the only ones having trouble with my 'strage' locale and language setup, but that's fully due to incompetent devs.

LMAlVvQjSGj··on Spotify raises $526M at a $8.5B valuation
I've used Spotify since 2008. The recent UI change really ruining the experience. I believe they are using Chromium now.

Spotify uses 1GB of ram, and every 10 seconds the CPU usage spikes to max. The UI is so unresponsive, Firefox is more responsive while restoring a session of 100 tabs.

I no longer pay for Spotify. The free version is litterd with malware ads, on par with SourceForge.

They've also remvoed 70% of it's original features.

The UX of Spotify has been regressing since 2011.

LMAlVvQjSGj··on Show HN: Universal Pause Button
Is this also true for the console port(s)?
LMAlVvQjSGj··on Tmux has left SourceForge
A lot of sexist ads as well.
LMAlVvQjSGj··on Internet.org Is Not Neutral, Not Secure, and Not the Internet
Over hyped.
LMAlVvQjSGj··on How is Javascript used within the Spotify desktop application?
The Spotify desktop client has seen a massive regression since 2008 or 2009. It's incredible how they managed to make it so unresponsive. Scrolling in a playlist is like playing a game at 10 fps. It's uncomfortable and not worth it. Ads are worse as well. I've seen countless malware ads in the bottom banner.
LMAlVvQjSGj··on Valve CEO: 'Pissing off the Internet costs you a million bucks in just 2 days'
How are all mods using Bethesda IP? Surely one could make a simple sphere, import it to the game (and any other game) and call it a mod.
