I make computers
I’m going to give it a try :)
Apple’s App Store has included this “feature” for several years. Gross.
Interesting. Scary.
So cute! The roast site made me laugh, but this is wholesome. The world needs both ;)
I’ve been looking forward to this release!
I highly recommend “Essentials of Compilation” by Jeremy Siek, which explores the same nano-pass approach using both Python and Racket. His course is easily one of my favorites.
I understand that people feel strongly about Snaps, but I don’t know about saying that they’re a security vulnerability on the basis of offering automatic updates.
Safari refers to it as “Privacy-Preserving Ad Measurement”, and Chrome includes an option as part of its “Privacy Sandbox.” Please have the decency to do a basic google search before being an asshole :)
Literally every browser has this option, and it gives users a choice. If you use an ad blocker, it has this option as well and has had it for several years now.

I think that a lot of the recent GNOME design choices are merely because they’re trying to improve usability on mobile devices. It also just so happens that Apple is trying to make the macOS desktop closer to iOS to encourage people to move from Windows. They have similar goals, which leads to similar design choices. And all design is derivative, anyway. Who cares.
It’s sort of annoying that they removed that feature in the first place. Recently, I’ve been using the Nala frontend for APT, since it maintains history similar to DNF/yum, so I try to install all packages through the command-line. The Ubuntu App Center has always been a mild disaster…
I’ve been using AdBlock Plus for at least ten years. Never had an issue
I don’t fully understand, but boy is that graph pretty B)
I am not Chinese nor do I claim to be an expert on Chinese culture. That said, my cousin married a woman from China a few years ago and the family insisted upon a traditional wedding. This involved the gifting of bedding, teas, and a dowry.
Recently, I read a historical fiction novel called “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” that went over a lot of the traditional Chinese wedding traditions, many of which I can only assume are still in practice in some form. Definitely recommend if you’re interested in history, Chinese culture, or feminism.
Terrifying
