For another platform to rise, there needs to be some heavy market shift. There already were opensource mobile OS: Maemo/meego/Tizen. Heck! I'd even throw phosh and ubports in the p…

On the flip side of cancellation, I wonder how much people cancelling are hurting themselves by sticking to retaliation. Go read about the psychology of forgiveness. There are some…

What I truly appreciate is the completion system from a dev perspective. Writing completions is comfortable. Even wrapping completions into other completions is fairly clean (e.g. …

> people thinking that taking Ozempic is a personal failing Considering our society is pushes us toward sedentary highly-caloric lifestyles, I'd say we're set up to fail from the g…

This reads like someone which had bad management using effort estimates as hours and bugged the team about it. I'm saying that having seen plenty of environments where they do Scru…

Having read that, I really wish to back to being GM and trolling players by awarding them non-fungible plots of land as rewards. Then players get challenged since they failed to oc…

I find editors to be deeply personal things. Throw a vim user in vscode and you might be disappointed, and vice-versa. I don't care about your tools, I care that the sum of you and…

Quebec does have a few. Amongst the issues is that scaling hydro power is hugely expensive, is riddled with red tape, and over all takes too long. Meanwhile you could build a datac…

They do tell you that you are missing now. On ubuntu 24.04, apt now reports/nags me about security updates behind esm-apps. They also publish an oval xml for use with openscap tool…

I'm with you on that. Many argue that AI models don't "contain the code" but if they are trained on the copyrighted data, and generate something similar, then the AI model is akin …

WSL is alright. The real MVPs are the linux distros which have been building and shipping everything for arm64 for ages, and which happen to run on WSL.

From a cynical atheist point of view he's not wrong: - god is an imaginary construct used to rationalize data points - god is often used by humans to make decisions, whether backed…

> Wasm makes it thinkable to do DOM programming in languages other than JavaScript Does it really? AFAIK, if I want to do any kind of DOM manipulation in say, rust, I need bindings…

> runas allows you to run programs as other users, including but not limited to as administrator. This funtionality is on the roadmap for the sudo command, but does not yet exist. …

When I look the hardware in it, I feels like the pinephone is just a step above what I would have built from a 3d printer, custom PCB, a microcontroller and an IOT modem from spark…

> I would guess the developers wanted to prevent laptops running out of battery too quickly And I would guess sysadmins also don't like their logging facilities filling the disks j…

Meanwhile, I'm using noscript like it's still the 90's and get no such prompts. Granted most of the websites are crippled, but you can't have your cookie and eat it too.

A less known feature of some crosswalk buttons is that some have accessibility features. I've seen a few that were pointless when pressed due to automatic triggering. Long-press an…

My fear is that more AI will hinder our ability to literally search for stuff. The future I dread includes more profiling, a stronger search bubble, all of which will just make it …

I see things the opposite way; you don't have to subscribe to everyone's blog. Proficiency comes with practice, and that inevitably means writing lower quality content, until you w…
