You cannot believe that Twitter did something terribly stupid?

With the huge paycheck they get from Google every year.

I'm waiting for it to get so good that it becomes effective at removing the ads Mozilla added to the new tab page.
Re:Windows 10 turns thumbs down on CCleaner on Wednesday August 05, 2020 @10:46AM (#24061370)
CCleaner does not remove OEM crapware. It "cleans up the registry" and does other stuff that with time has been incorporated into Windows 10 itself.

How have you misinterpreted this message to get to that conclusion?
Re:More than 1/3 of all access to Google is now over IPv6 on Wednesday August 05, 2020 @08:42AM (#24060165)
That's not necessarily a problem with nat; anybody with basic networking knowledge can tell you that packets that move through v4 and V6 do not have to follow the same routes. Since there are more users using v4 than V6 it's common for v4 routes to be congested while V6 routes are not.
Re:More than 1/3 of all access to Google is now over IPv6 on Wednesday August 05, 2020 @07:09AM (#24059417)
That's scaremongering and simply false. Cgnat servers are not necessarily congested. I've been to several isps with cgnat and none of them suffered from congestion.

On a more personal note, if ipv6 were so great, their fans wouldn't have to make up things to badmouth ipv4.

But those frameworks force you to do things the way they want you to. As soon as you need to deviate a little bit, and very often you'll have to, you'll have to rewrite the entire thing.
How can you not see how grossly inappropriate it is to push politics in the workplace?
A thug stealing $1k from me would hurt me much more than someone stealing $100m from Google would hurt them.
>Qanon is going mainstream and that’s bad.

Is it? My completely uninformed impression was that it was dying.

Most websites have blocked VoIP numbers so you won't be able to use them for 2fa.
People don't want to play whatever is on Linux, they want to play what they want to play.
Are there alternatives that are capable of competently running Win32, the NT HAL, DirectX, etc? Last I checked, wine wasn't there yet
It was chest-thumping. Mark basically moved the goalposts so he could claim victory. The future he had originally envisioned will never come to fruition.
There are no alternatives, that's why people have to fight Windows.
Surely by moving the goalposts you can make everything look like a monopoly. In the end both mobile platforms have practically the same popular apps.
Apple is not a monopoly.

Additionally this is a Mac app and you can sideload apps on Macs

That's why we have democracy, so we can delegate and not care about negative news for the most part

Web requests taking over 100 ms is an absolute shame that slow languages like python are enabling.
Religious basis? What religion prohibits the biobutton?

As George Costanza once said, news about China is an instant page-turner.
"center for global policy" sounds like some globalist lobby.

They should rewrite everything in python so they need 10 times as much hardware. The economy is stagnating

Re:How Italy Turned Around Its Coronavirus Calamity on Saturday August 01, 2020 @09:20AM (#24020240)
Looks like the NYT can't stop themselves from using every article as a hit piece on the politicians they don't like.
"New software will eventually contain bugs", and then bringing it up 14 years later, seems to bring nothing to the table.
