I’m trialling it already as my main browser. I like it.

Microsoft could have been ahead on this with Cortana if they had any real commitment and vision.

For me, it’s mostly that the Android app doesn’t have a tab bar, even on tablet (just a stretched out phone ui), and i want a browser i can sync across all my devices, so that issue with the tablet ui is enough for me to use a different browser (the amazing Vivaldi) everywhere.

What does sucking dick have to do with technical competency?

That’s a “port”.

A “remaster” is traditionally more focused on a rerelease with improved graphic fidelity - details, resolution, possibly lower-effort improvements to models and geometry, but basically the same game, slightly modernised with better modern compatibility.

A “remake” would be a complete overhaul of the modelling, QoL improvements, or reimagining some systems potentially including game engine. Eg, the FF7 remake.

Final form of the bury your gays trope.

Vivaldi, because it is available everywhere, has cross-platform tab syncing, ad-blocking, and a tab bar on Android.

Great article, totally agree with the author. I would still be concerned with that power moving to the government, particularly in countries with limited options for true representation (eg. two party systems, where it is usually more a matter of “lesser evil” voting), but that then becomes the next challenge; still more appropriate in the government’s hands than the level of power corporations currently wield.

The thing is, as we learned with Netflix (and… everything lately), even if it starts off convenient and reasonable, that will last only long enough that they think they’ve cornered the market. So unless something changes to guarantee an ongoing reasonable proposition, i will never trust them again.

Doesn’t matter where the tipping points are, humanity will dance straight past them, then do a little spin to flip them the bird as we moonwalk the rest of the way into oblivion.

I used the Jelly for a while, mostly it worked very well, only a couple apps had layout issues. I think it was just slightly too small at 3", and 3.5 - 4" would resolve basically every app layout issue I had with it. My biggest problem with it was actually that the camera was awful.

No, I want the smaller bezels to enable a smaller physical device that keeps a ~4" screen. Ideally not exceeding the dimensions of the OG iPhone.

It’s the smallest option, so doesn’t really matter.

I just want the return of the Mini. Upgrade the display to 4".

I think it would be bad for the economy, particularly if everyone had access to it, therefore i suspect if it actually would pan out, some researchers would disappear and the world would never see this released, or it would be made inaccessible to most people somehow (probably money). I’m pessimistic, but of course i also hope we do see something like that in our lifetimes.

Grindr reports down to single digit metres… That level of accuracy is certainly not needed and potentially dangerous. I’ve had stalker issues with Grindr before… Imo the radar aspect can be preserved while simply capping the accuracy or reporting at “<500m”, because seriously that’s close enough to know someone is literally less than 5 minute walk from you.

Sniffies is a similar app, but includes an option to randomise your location within a certain radius that you can set. So you can still determine people are “nearby” or get an idea of their general distance and location, without being able to literally hunt them down.

It’s fine for people to choose this as one pathway for additional income, i just wish it were always a completely free choice, whereas in many situations it seems a little too much of a last resort or derived from particular pressure, which feels… I just feel it’s disappointing it’s seen as almost necessary in those situations. Olympic athletes should not have financial issues like that, or feel forced to give up their privacy (if he does indeed feel forced, but it comes across that way in some regards). Anyway, he presents it as positive in his eyes, so I hope that’s true.

I feel like some people just hear “crypto” or “ai” and start screeching and clawing at the air.

Not every feature needs to be for you specifically, these features are optional and don’t compromise or even impact their other products. They seem to be on-brand in being more privacy-focused alternatives to some of the existing market options while remaining accessible, and keeps Proton in the game depending on how the landscape develops.

I don’t use Proton (yet) but I generally like what they’re doing and hope they succeed, and I don’t see any of these developments as negatives, just more competition.
