humm i think actually in portuguese we have: doce, compota, geleia, conserva e marmelada/goiabada.
doce (sweet) is a sugar syrup with fruits normally mashed, this is not preserve this is made to be served.
compota (jam) is mashed whole fruits with sugar (pure de frutos).
geleia (jelly) is fruit juice jellied or thicken.
conserva (preserve/compote) is whole fruits preserved in a sugary syrup.
marmelada/goiabada is the same as a compota whit a mashed whole fruits with sugar, but since these 2 fruits create a thick jellied paste, we give it a proper name.
sot he is talking about is a conserva/preserve/compote is all the same thing, its a whole fruits you cant spread that, its for eating or making other things like cakes and such and Portugal has plenty of those as well hehehe :D
the lack of options is what kills me, also the UI is filled with clear design flaws, and i still need an addon-bar, now i have to use even more add-ons just to make it work like it used to... ohh but we still have the weak performance, thats far from a priority...
I use firefox, always have even when it was buggy as hell, mostly because i needed all the web dev tools and was confortable with it, but i also use chrome for watching youtube and quick browsing (unfortunately firefox till this day is damn slow to open and become responsive).
Thats why im looking forward to opera's webkit version (so i can ditch google chrome for opera), i think google chrome is getting more and more creepy and has made some decisions that are more in google's interest than the users (like posting links on the speed dial or all the extensions that are nothing more thank links and all the extensions that are not links but behave like links, its weird).
the only problem with this is trust, you have to trust that these companies will do what they say, there is no way to confirm it, maybe all of them are logging and they just say otherwise, and when we are talking about privacy and anonymity thats a bigggg deal breaker!
also just because they do it now, doesn't mean that tomorrow they wont just turn on the logging... if you want anonymity and privacy you can only trust yourself and your own setup, leaving it at the hands of others is a huge exposure, as a sidenote since you are also using the services of a company that might attract the wrong sort of people that also migh expose you to potential problems (they give you up wrongfully, bad logs, payments to that company, the list goes on...)
its sunday! seems like they pushed another faulty update (like last time)! yep confirmed, all is down including their own site, thats pretty fucked up, when they dont even have offsite status! good thing i dont use cloudflare in all my sites...
yeah no point! at this point its kinda mute... to be useful you need to have your friends in it! and the way its setup its not easy or user friendly to have people join, something like gmail gained traction with invite only because gmail is useful by itself you dont need anyone else using it to make it more useful, at this point it really doesnt matter if its dev friendly... twitter might suck right now for any dev, but app.net limited scope puts it in competition with way more tools than just twitter and facebook's of the world, if you are this limited, you might prefer to go use something like tumblr or do it yourself with your own hosting, why use app.net?
