  • Wait a minute, usually a coup is done with guns and threat of violence, right? Are you telling me in Spain the coup was done using... illegal referendum?! Where can I read more about this?

  • Could've been worse. Could be unprettified json.

  • Or use the Mail app built into Windows?

    So the gist is the default mail app is being "upgraded" by Microsoft to Outlook for Windows app, so your account credentials previously stored in the mail app now got uploaded into the cloud.

  • Heck, if you look at AliExpress, there are a bunch of bootleg retro "console" that boot straight to retroarch for like 10 bucks.

  • You're probably confusing archive.org (The Internet Archive non-profit organization), which works with cloudflare dns, with archive.is (alternate domain for archive.today website snapshot service, commonly used to bypass paywalled articles), which don't work on cloudflare but it's due to its owner's decision, not cloudflare's fault. The gist is archive.is uses dns-based load balancer and CDN, which requires EDNS Client Subnet to determine the closest servers to serve the request. But Cloudflare disable EDNS Client Subnet on ther DNS service for privacy reason which seems to piss archive.is owner so much they blocked cloudflare dns.

  • Adguard has a quite comprehensive list of known DNS providers in their documentation. It's very useful because my ISP transparently redirect all dns queries on port 53, so I'll have to find DNS providers that listen on alternate ports for my upstream DNS in my Adguard instance.

  • Dynamically generated quests can be fun if it's diverse enough so you don't notice repeating pattern on the quests. Once you start noticing the repeating pattern it stopped being fun.

  • You could say the same about Australia and various Latin America countries, yet they still condemn Israel action.

  • PyQT and WxPython have much better cross platform support. If you plan to rewrite your app anyway, maybe take a look at them to see if they fit your needs.

  • Eh, accepting 2 millions refugees is an enormous feat. No western countries would be willing to accept 2 millions refugees at once, so we realistically can't expect Egypt, with significantly worse economy than western countries, could accept 2 million refugees without massive assistance from other countries.

  • VLC usually can handle everything you throw at it. The other popular and capable media player is MPV, though it's not as user friendly as VLC but has tons of advanced features.

  • If you look into Gaza strip in Google Maps, you can see it looked just like any other town in the rest of the world: plenty of recreational places, parks, restaurants, markets, all bustling with activities. Now it's all rubbles.

  • Can you write your own kernel module for your WiFi card without sneaking into Broadcom headquarter to stole the internal product documentation?

  • It may not equate to more productivity, but it equates to more billable hours.

  • The program it replaced didn't do this, hence the surprise. You could be using the old program, and one day windows update it with this new program, and suddenly your passwords are uploaded to Microsoft cloud service when you launched it. People would similarly surprised if K-9 mail upcoming replacement, Thunderbird mobile, suddenly store your password in the cloud.

  • I mean, aren't arch-based distros all have the potential to shit themselves on update due to packaging bleeding edge apps? What's so different with Manjaro in this regard?

  • To be fair, people would probably tolerate (or even welcome) snap if Canonical weren't pushing it so hard to their users by sneakily replacing various packages with snap, and various decisions that piss people of like forcing auto update which can break long running apps randomly. If red hat did similar stuff with flatpack, I bet people would similarly got mad too.

  • Telling Palestinians to kill Hamas leaders is useless because the top Hamas leaders are actually living abroad, unlike Putin who stay cooped in Russia.
