Noticed the other day, wasn't sure if it was specific domain or just me. Sucks still though
Re:How Did Polyamory Become So Popular? on Monday December 25, 2023 @06:46PM (#38767439)
It didn't
There are some commercial apps that do (like 4k stogram) that but it's a cat and mouse game with Instagram.

This is exactly why I continue to torrent stuff
I use Step Two which also has a Mac app, that also does sync to iCloud.

Not a single point of failure.

I have never thought of that but I agree. Personal combination of devices/OS/apps is a reflection of our own mind and everyone should choose what works for them best.
Just so you know, rumors say M2 is around the corner, so you might save just enough to buy it when it comes out.
That's why I use an external mute. No shenanigans.
Wokeism is going too far
I ignore it. It isn't that hard.
They went woke.

Looks 95% like Firefox
Leaving for Google or even Microsoft I would understand it but for Meta?! Why?
Re:The state of external retina displays on Tuesday December 28, 2021 @01:11PM (#29716238)
I've found running 4K @ 2x/200% scaling "retina" to be the best price/performance option right now. 5K displays are nowhere to be seen and 6K/8K have absurd prices.

My dream monitor would be a dual-5k super-ultrawide, even at 60Hz. That's at least 5 years away if not 10.

No, I always dismissed it until they had enough backslash and stopped pushing it. I still use whatsapp tho (along with Telegram)
This goes against the media narrative that it was caused by the unvaxed. Still gonna blame them tho.

Thanks, I had no idea what was the rant about besides "cRaPpLe".

Probably Dallas/Austin... or Zurich.
It's simple. Money.

Re:Ask HN: Can Firefox be revived? on Friday October 22, 2021 @03:50PM (#28961825)
The CEO's job is to grow the company and have it improve or make products. Tanking Firefox and firing the developers (Servo team) is the opposite of that.
Re:Train riders held up phones as woman was raped, police say on Tuesday October 19, 2021 @10:04AM (#28918187)
In a time where you can get sued by anyone and the age of trial by social media and biased news, sometimes not doing anything is the better self-serving option.
Re:Firefox Now Sends Your Address Bar Keystrokes to Mozilla on Friday October 08, 2021 @09:51PM (#28806302)
When I thought Firefox couldn't go any lower, Mozilla manages to surprise me. Impressive.
Re:Firefox Addons Unable to Update, Undisclosed AMO Issues on Saturday September 25, 2021 @12:19PM (#28654289)
You're not looking at the full picture. Mozilla's pure incompetence to even maintain their addons ecosystem. Remember when all live addons failed due to a cert failure? Besides dumbing down the browser now they can't even seem to get addons running smoothly. Extensions/addons are a core part of a modern browser.
Re:Firefox Addons Unable to Update, Undisclosed AMO Issues on Saturday September 25, 2021 @11:21AM (#28653808)
And then Mozilla wonders why people don't use Firefox.

Re:Firefox Browser: best for a free web on Tuesday September 14, 2021 @09:45AM (#28524690)
Mozilla does really love to milk "Open source" and "free" for Firefox marketing. How about about if they actually gave users what they wanted?
...and this is a perfect example of why I don't buy anything "smart" besides my phone.
