Re:Orion is a new WebKit-based browser for Mac on Friday October 08, 2021 @10:11AM (#28799475)
The one thing that is lacking from Safari is extensions. If this does what I believe then it will be my main browser. Safari adblocking sucks atm.
Re:EU plans to force OEMs to use a common charger for all phones on Thursday September 23, 2021 @05:17AM (#28626910)
I also prefer Lightning. The central pin of USB-C being in the device's port rather than the charger seems like a bad idea to me. Lightning is the opposite.

An average consumer probably gets a new phone every 1-2 years. That means 50-100g of junk plastic every year per person.

This seems very small compared to the amount of non-recyclable plastic I get every time I go to the supermarket (Fruit and veg in plastic wrapping).

Are USB cables very resource heavy to make? Is there something that makes them especially bad when compared to other waste?

Clearing your cookies and cache for Twitter seems to stop this.
A workaround trick I have found is using private browsing. Possibly clearing your cookies for Twitter could work also.

Re:Ask HN: What interests you to work at a FAANG on Tuesday May 26, 2020 @07:13AM (#23309644)
Slightly off topic but: Why is Microsoft not included in this acronym (FAANG)? Surely they're a more significant company than Netflix?
This is so cool! Great work :D

Wow! Very nice
These are great ideas. I was looking for ways to facilitate symbiosis. Thank you :)
Uh oh, what graphics card / driver are you using?
Nice, this is so cool! I had a few line-type creatures wriggling around at first and then a huge population explosion occurred and a swarm started filling the screen.
Thanks! Oops, maybe not the best choice of name haha
Currently having difficulties getting it running on macOS, and gdb doesn't seem to play nice with Catalina
I'm planning to do this once I get my hands on a video capture card! Thanks for the advice :)
Interesting. What distribution are you using? On Debian it has been working fine, however on macOS I also encounter the glDrawElements issue. Still working on that.
Thanks! :)
Re:Watch age restricted YouTube videos without a Google account on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @07:52PM (#22242946)
Hey!

Many YouTube videos are age restricted. Generally this isn't an issue for most. However some people don't have or want a Google account, for various privacy reasons.

This tool allows you to watch any age restricted video you'd like without creating an account.

I'd like to stress this isn't for underage viewers to watch adult content. It would be easy for anybody to fake their age when signing up to Google. This is aimed at privacy enthusiast.

Hope this is useful to some!
