I think the article mentions it. AOL tried to block it and this to and fro went 21 times before finally coming to a stop. MSN and Yahoo later signed a deal, I think, so that the former will work with latter’s contacts properly.

Err, this payment doesn’t block ads. It only switches off personalised ads. So, the user is still seeing ads, just not targeted ones. So the site is getting both user’s money plus ad money. And technically, I am not sure how privacy preserving this is because you will still need to create an account which technically leaves you vulnerable to tracking.

My first smartphone was their cheap Lumia 520. Yes, it had its limitations (it couldn’t natively playback mkv files and no VLC support was there yet; only one paid app offered this basic thing) but the polycarbonate back was good, the battery lived decent enough despite being small and the OS was very smooth.

Where’s the meme in this?

I’ll find a Sun article for this :p.

Wear OS is pitiable. My previous GW 4 40mm had 247 mAh battery and barely lasted a day with AOD on. Plus the charging was so slow. Even with Samsung’s latest Galaxy Watch Ultra, it has lesser endurance that what Tizen based Frontier had.

Yes, emacs is a fine operation system. All it lacks is a decent code editor.

Yes, the title the author chose is a bit err, clickbaity. But there were still decent introductions to few old IDEs. Maybe if he had covered more(maybe some niche ones?), it would have been better.

I think Hyper was another Electron based terminal. And talking of terminal and Linux, there exists an electron based file manager for Linux as well. I wonder who exactly their target audience for that is though.

Isn’t maintaining LFS a pain for the long run?

Some internet banking sites give access after only asking for login password. They will only ask for transaction password and OTP (that will only come on phone) later on. Asking for two passwords isn’t necessarily more secure since many people will just reuse their original one again. And OTP instead of offering something like hardware security key is insane.

This is the only true answer here. Answers like Bandcamp (which hardly has a repository big enough) or switching to Tidal aren’t practical. OP paid for his music, and deserves access to it.

I have Amazon Prime as part of Prime Unlimited but holy Christ, have I never gotten their web app to stream in Linux. As long as greediness on part of these lousy corporations live on, piracy would remain the only true option.

IIRC, one can integrate Tidal with music players like Strawberry on nix too, I think.

C++ was my second programming language after BASIC, if that still qualifies as a programming language these days.

Unexpected factorial
