Many companies are tracking by MAC address. E.g., coffee shop Wi-Fi systems, retail analytics systems.

Or maybe Brainf*ck on Baboons.

Doesn't Google Analytics load some Flash for tracking purposes? I wonder if they will block that.

COBOL is making a comeback in the web development space: COBOL on Cogs.

Apparently, Flash is baked into Windows 10 and can't easily be uninstalled, so it will still take work to finish it off.

Firefox: go to "about:config" in the address bar. Search for "dom.battery.enabled" and double-click to set it to false.

This is one reason why GMO foods need labels.

I don't like the idea of precompiled JavaScript, because it will be harder to block trackers and advertising.

Flash doesn't run on iOS, so it's already on the way out. I block Flash on most websites, and rarely need to enable it. Flash will be around for many years but it's already on a major decline.

Emacs is better than Vim in many ways, but editing with Vim is faster than Emacs unless you're using Evil. (assuming experienced users) I'm a Vim user, but would consider Evil if it ran in the terminal everywhere as well as Vim.

One problem with it was the design. The interface was awful from the beginning. It looked sparse, while at the same time having WAY too much animation. It was so JavaScript-heavy that it wouldn't run on my netbook (4 Gb RAM). They killed off XMPP-integration and then abandoned RSS. There was no API for auto-posting, which increased the difficulty for creating content by people who take social media seriously. Google+ should have been much simpler and cooler. The Android app was (and is) completely obnoxious. Google are generally awful at design and should not try to be innovative with it. I can't stand animation, especially when it tries to be "cute". I stopped using it for those reasons, and I was a supporter in the beginning.

I'm referring to the OS, not the personal name, which is not trying to spell the word "One" as "uan".

Unfortunately, it looks terrible in English. It looks like someone typed Dev-Juan but forgot the J. Just called it DevOne, or some other number, and it would be fine.

It doesn't sound like Debian, but the letters are similar. It looks terrible -- like a misspelled "Dev-Juan". If it's pronounced "Dev One" then spell it that way.

The name sounds so much like a joke that maybe someone is intentionally trying to sow more discord in the community. Or Maybe English isn't their native language and they don't know how bad it looks in English? It might look less ridiculous in Spanish. In either case, many people won't take something that is spelled "Devuan" seriously, and there will be a lot of arguing.
