  • I’m always conflicted because I happen to have an LA Metro train close to me, but riding it is always scary because there are violent people, tweakers, creeps everywhere.

    When I was in Mexico City recently the trains there weren’t as pretty and they were packed with people, but I didn’t see people tweaking out left and right (or at all). I actually very much enjoyed using their transit system.

  • JPEG really needs to die

  • I didn’t have a great reason other than mind-blowing performance on my LAN, and with large files (which I have a lot of) performance is better too. Probably I’m not smart enough to answer this well, but I did just see this today: https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-611-filesystems/2

  • good use case

    Is continuing to overfish our oceans a good use case or am I missing something?

  • I’d like to dig up some technical information on this. It has a lot of claims of what hackers can do but how do they do it at a technical level? Is using VPN helpful? Stuff like that.

  • I worked night shift stocking shelves for a few years, but one day I had to work a day shift and had the opposite experience.

    The store was so busy that I endlessly stocked clothes hangers for eight hours. It was full-on chaos and management was nowhere to be found.

  • You’re totally missing the point.

    I’m not talking about whether whatever specific one you conjure up is healthy or unhealthy, I’m talking about people who diss vegan/vegetarian ones right off the bat as if “normal” burgers are (generally) healthy.

    (It gets even more stupid, most people that do this have no problem plowing through a Triple Whopper every other day.)

  • I’m a huge fan of XFS for network mounts. I think everyone else here is right that the best filesystem will depend on the OS, and picking one to make it compatible with everything has serious tradeoffs.

  • But using it as a reason to be against veggie burgers is lame. You never hear “I’m in the mood for something healthy, maybe I’ll make hamburgers.” Honestly, who cares? You don’t see people doing this with ice cream or chocolate because we already know it’s unhealthy, but for some reason it’s super necessary to diss veggie burgers because they’re unhealthy.

  • Web application developer working with Kubernetes clusters by day, obsessed with networking, cloud, Linux and UNIX by nights/weekends. Also ran into annoying issues with AWS a handful of times and never went back.

  • Don’t forget to make it the default on everything, especially IoT!

  • Do you just want open-source Windows? There’s always ReactOS.

  • I’ve never understood why you’d want it to. Windows has like six design languages mashed together.

  • I’m vegan and I am so sick of this argument. Who’s eating burgers to be healthy? The last thing I’m thinking about when buying Beyond burgers is health. 😂

  • But that could affect profits! 😱

  • First time I’ve seen someone mention that one by name. Fuck that data center.

  • Personally

    This was my poor attempt to mean “as an end-user.” I just love that it’s tied in to the Apple ecosystem and the UI is so much cleaner than other browsers.

    I’ve tried to make the switch to others but they always feel very clunky. I love Firefox to death but it looks awful (at least on macOS). I’m not a big extension guy because I’m filtering DNS and IP traffic at the network layer — if we’re talking about ad blocking, tracking and the like it doesn’t make sense to only protect against it in the browser, as apps tend to send traffic to the very same domains as the websites.

    I actually hate the trend of apps being nothing more than a wrapper around web applications. It comes off as lazy development, and I miss native apps (regardless of platform) instead of these creepy wrappers around web applications. So I actually have to agree with Apple there.

    As for browser support, my team works on an internal-only app and our security policy doesn’t allow outdated browsers, so there’s no hard rules when it comes to browser support.

  • Adding to this, Firefox’s JavaScript is much more strict than others (which I love). As a web developer I prioritize testing it in Firefox because it’s helped me find bugs other browsers just plow through.

    Personally I use Safari daily and the number of websites that are broken due to poor security (but function fine in Chrome) is alarming. Chrome doesn’t even check content type on <iframe> last time I checked.

  • How do you account for all other apps? My personal preference is using VPN along with DNS filtering to cut shit out system-wide.

    I’m on iOS but the number of telemetry, tracking and ad domains requested by apps outside the browser is alarming (many of them owned by Google).
