>The UC Browser app takes up 31 megabytes of space, compared with Chrome’s 125 megabytes

Given that bundling Chrome is a requirement if you want to ship a mobile phone with the Play Store, this is a moot point

Firefox is much slower than Chrome on Android, at least on my (reasonably powerful) Qualcomm 625
Good thing about this is that those users are poor so most developers are free to ignore them.
Maybe they shouldn't have started merging the patches in the open if they weren't ready to disclose the bug.

The default subs of reddit are utter garbage, but the rest of stuff is not that bad.

I said PHYSICALLY attractive.
Re:Towards a bra-free Instagram experience on Sunday December 31, 2017 @03:43PM (#16042825)
Fat people are unattractive. I am fat and I am physically unattractive because of that. Thinking otherwise would be fooling myself.

Being attracted to fat people is a kink, not the norm.

As a user, I can't think of any ads that would make me happy.

As an unattractive person, I wouldn't want to see unattractive people in ads either. Seeing fat people wouldn't make me happier.

(Why was this thread collapsed?)

Not defending the gp's harsh tone, but there's nothing particularly interesting about this post. We all know how ad algorithms are stupidly repetitive and how ads only show attractive people. This is just flamebait.
Re:Vandals smash beehives, killing 500k bees on Sunday December 31, 2017 @03:04PM (#16042556)
Funny that this thread was censored (i.e. collapsed) without any apparent reason.

Myself I also believe this to be the case. Vandals don't just burn 50 beehives. And the fact that the farm says this is vandalism, instead of wondering "how is it possible that vandals destroyed 50 beehives for no reason", just reinforces my suspicion.

Who cares? In consumer devices, userspace is the entire system.

Using a microkernel just pushes the vulnerabilities to the userspace.
OP's tweet is about the iOS app.

It's like a game of gladiators... You can't take the fun off of it.

Why blame the NFL? It's not like the players are doing it for free.
