>As, the Verge already explained, Chrome is turning into the new IE6 (in case you wonder, that’s not a compliment). Not only is Google making some services running faster on Chrome, the browser also sends information only to Google.

Did Microsoft make their services run faster on IE6? Did IE6 send information only to Microsoft?

There's absolutely nothing in this world that has frustrated me more than knowing how to write a query in SQL but, for the life of me, not being able to express it using the ORM syntax.

Since then I keep using ORMs (because mapping the things you pull from the db to actual objects is undoubtedly good) but I write my queries by hand.

I also dislike ORMs that, by default, when you try to access an object you forgot to pull from the db with the query you wrote, automatically generate another query to pull the data instead of erroring out.

I think they are simply bad actors.

This is exactly what Chrome intends to do and everybody hates Google for it. Defending this when Apple does it is a double standard.

I don't think anybody would call generic emails "the email industry"

Font is too big.

I doubt F-Droid has the resources to deal with millions of Huawei users.

Interesting that "whois wordpress.org" doesn't show who owns it.

Did that go to court or did you just pay up when some ambulance chaser firm sent you snail mail threatening you to go to court?

What do you mean? Is it false or something?

Mozilla took the slowest HTML rendering engine there is and created a whole OS using it. Then they proceeded to run it on the worst mobile hardware there was at the time.

Then competent engineers forked it into KaiOS and it became a success.

And that's exactly detoxing you from what? I mean it's got email, whatsapp, a browser, facebook probably... so what's the point?

That's cool... it is as if it was just crudely patched in there by the maps team

En el cielo las estrellas, en el campo los arados y en el medio de tu culo mi chorizo Colorado.

Hmm interesting. I thought that guy meant the whole group policy system, which can change settings in user mode programs (such as explorer) and is akin to /etc files or in the kernel (like the one you mentioned) and is akin to sysctl

Registry adds some features over text files: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20071126-00/?p=24...

group policies are user mode

Too much fluff but nothing specific. What does it mean for "Windows 11 to run on Linux"? Port Win32 and DirectX to Linux? Start supporting Wine in some way?

Jesus Christ is Ben Bova? Well, that's something new for me.

In 2021

It's not asking me actively, but it's just crazy that I'm offered to install a random blog as an app.
