How about actually testing both launchers on same device or at least give startup numbers of steam before/after update? So annoyed by this "comparison" honestly.

Surprisingly nobody suggested yet to just select file in Finder and press Option-Cmd-C to copy file path.

WebKit is the only browser that lags when there is too much logs in devtools console on my M1 mac... Pretty funny.

This is an impressive feature, considering that you can even watch videos from Chinese tech bloggers when there are no prepared English subtitles on YouTube. In other cases, it reads the already written subtitles, but analyzes the speech and divides it into different female/male voices. Some words can be translated funny in the wrong context.

This week I removed adware from Android, which is installed according to the following scheme: a person sees a fake advertising notification about an infection, then even trying to close it opens Google Play or another store with some kind of antivirus with a generic name like xcleaner, to make it harder to find it among others, and installs it. Then this application starts working in the background and every 2-3 minutes creates full-screen advertising banners with vibration, also about infections with links to other garbage. It does not exist in the list of applications and in the activity list as soon as the banner is closed. While it is there, instead of its name it shows a webview, and you need to guess to go from the list of processes to the application in order to see its real name and delete it.

A year ago, I also saw a fake advertisement for a squid game. These fake advertisements have already become a meme, but they also offer to download from Google Play a slightly similar game, where after quickly clicking on the screen, the smartphone will suddenly prompt you to buy an expensive subscription and then you will not be able to cancel it, because Google does not provide for them refund. This idea comes from SMS scams since j2me platform, and judging by the comments on this game, people are still losing money, especially if they leave their phones to children.

I don't use ios and won't say whether manual moderation there helps prevent the same crap, but let's not ignore that if you're not tech-savvy, this Android security alternative is pretty easy to get around.

It's funny how democratic Western world gives themselves the ethical right to kill others while fighting for “truth” and turning a blind eye to their own war crimes, which is ultimately a reflection of the rhetoric of their opponents. This impeccable confidence in the rightness is simply amazing.

Yep, try-haxe itself is generated JS+PHP code from shared Haxe codebase. There is also some bytecode targets: JVM, HashLink JIT (fast in compilation Clang target alternative), neko (older Haxe VM), swf.

Flutter is framework, Haxe is language. There is different Haxe frameworks, but debugging/performance mostly depends on target you choose, and Haxe compiler is pretty good on byte/code generation.
