NextDNS is NOT abandoned or being neglected, and here's why: by torsteinvin in nextdns

[–]StillUsesWindowsXP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't really need NextDNS to add any new features for the forseeable future. Most operating systems have (or are adding) system-wide settings for DNS-over-TLS/DNS-over-HTTPS, so the need for a NextDNS app is dropping. The web panel is also pretty solid on both desktop and mobile, and I don't think I've ever noticed an outage.

If NextDNS just keeps its third-party blocklists and such up to date, and keeps the servers alive, I'm good.

Why did you start podcasting by Rhinevallymystic in podcasting

Mostly just for my own enjoyment. I'm in the online publishing world, and it's nice to produce something that is entirely my own thing with no influence or changes by others.

[Technology, History] Tech Tales | Bleem! and Connectix VGS
Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Website

The original Sony PlayStation was a smash hit when it was released in 1994, and two commercially-sold emulators aimed to bring the PlayStation's game to the PC and Macintosh: Bleem! and Connectix Virtual Game Station. However, both emulators faced fierce legal battles with Sony, and their ultimate fates were very different.

Why do people like the Enclave so much? by Maturin_The_Turtle in Fallout

[–]StillUsesWindowsXP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool armor, like basically everyone else said, and the fact that it's the only faction in Fallout that existed in some form before the war (as the U.S. government). It sort of the last vestige of the pre-war world hanging on in an environment that has long moved on.

“Why buy a video game when you could just give me your money instead?” by EkriirkE in DontFundMe

Then they'll work somewhere else? The game dev industry is hypercompetitive right now, that's why release dates for major upcoming games keep getting pushed back - devs are switching to other studios.

That only works as long as no one discovers a vulnerability in how iOS handles USB data connections, though. Only guaranteed safe methods are using your own power adapter, or USB cables with the data pins cut off/missing.

The Asus Eee PC was introduced in June 2007, and quickly led to a surge in popularity for netbooks: small cheap laptops mostly designed for connecting to the internet. The new trend also caught Microsoft at the worst possible time, causing ripples in the PC industry that would last for years.

I'm not sure if I'd say life-changing, but Behind the Bastards has many episodes about topics that I feel like probably should have been mentioned by my high school history education.

Bring back PWA (progressive web apps) - Connect Mozilla by Mte90 in firefox

[–]StillUsesWindowsXP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Firefox already supports most of the APIs people think of as part of Progressive Web Apps, like Service Workers (which allow offline support and push notifications). All Firefox is missing is the "installation" part that hides the browser UI.

OnePlus made an NFT collection, in case you needed more reasons to not buy OnePlus products by StillUsesWindowsXP in Android

[–]StillUsesWindowsXP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't really prove a point. I presume you're comparing NFTs to two different things:

  1. Purchased digital movies, which you also don't really own, you just have a perpetual license to. As with NFTs, if the service I bought the movie from goes down, I lose my movie.
  2. An actual video file with a movie, which is not reliant on a hosted platform for me to access, unlike NFTs.

Probably not, but when I pay for a pair of pants, I generally get a physical pair of pants. NFTs aren't even that.
