Imagine buying hardware from Google, as if they haven't given enough reasons to distrust them.

They have what I think is the best implementation of vertical tabs, chrome doesn't even have them, firefox is so far behind it's not even funny anymore... brave's is terrible.

How many gigantic companies can join this before it crashes?

First of all, yes I know about the elevator hence why I mentioned it, you know, first of all it's not that safe to be going down an elevator from what is basically a multiple stories high building while in space (#1) and (#2) why would you add complexity/failure points on purpose if your mission was being multiplanetary?

The spacecraft wasn't designed with humans in mind first.

And second:

This is a paper by Kessler himself:

I am so actually beyond sad that I ever trusted Musk, all the signs were there, from the lies with Tesla to the nonesensical point to point "tourist" lies, to the Mars lies, to the fact that the spaceship they are developing right now requires an actual elevator to get astronauts down, it was never meant for humans, it was meant to deploy sats in space even cheaper, outcompete the competition and basically kill human spaceflight as a result... because less profitable human rated spacecraft won't be viable.

Oh yeah, did I mention how Starlink is literally already in the close to Kessler Syndrome territory? all it would need is for a strong enough solar storm to hit their sats.

Apple under Tim Cook stopped innovating, entirely. If Steve was stil alive he'd still be competing we'd probably have Safari on Windows to this day... and cheaper computers (like the NEO but with upgradeable RAM)

"I would rather have IP67 over a replaceable battery"

Not me, and not most people.

I don't own EVs but I hope this is forced on EVs (cars and bikes)... that's the only reason I don't buy one.

It is just crazy how much of a tech billionaire centric the US government is, they can come up with Thanos' idea of wiping out 50% of the population and politicians would do it as long as Zuckerberg or anyone else in the techno bubble asked for it.

I really despise these christo fascist led tech companies that think they can dictate what we are able to see/play, etc.

Meanwhile the people that lead them go to certain islands.

It was obvious since the start that 1)it's probably all javascript based or android websites/programs that contain a ton of "vulnerable" libraries (or really old closed sourced c++ code).

Also you're not helping your case as a software company if you feed your code to an LLM, great job making it all public, because it will most likely be used as training data like it or not.

Charles de Gaulle was such an incredible man, nearly 60 years after his death he still keeps influencing the direction of France (for the better)

This is just adding the hidden filters such as

after:[date]: Finds videos uploaded after a specific date.

Example: tech news after:2024-01-01

To an UI, right?

Starting with Metro every Windows UI framework has been beyond ugly. there's just something so backwards over how nice the UI was in Windows 7, I simply can't understand it.

dev1ycan — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 12:08:37 +0000

I became complete garbage at video games the moment I bought a 27 inch monitor.

I also can't ever focus on doing tasks like programming and such since I got my big monitor.

Although I definitely can't give up my 3 27 inch monitors...

Nope, which is why Chrome exists, to allow Google to do this. Which is why you should avoid chromium.

Starship is the biggest scam in the history of spaceflight, it was never about getting to the moon or mars or even towards other points on Earth (or space tourism) but lowering the cost of sending military and other dual use technologies to Low Earth Orbit.

Starlink is close to causing the kessler syndrome. https://conference.sdo.esoc.esa.int/proceedings/sdc9/paper/3...

When I was young and naive I believed Elon, at least I've figured out his shtick now, plus his connections with that man.

Regulate them.

The last time I liked Opera was before they switched to Chromium, I remember how awesome old Opera + Windows 7 aero was, the entire browser was nearly transparent
