I think there’s a (fixable, if difficult) reason the FOSS world contributes such a small percentage of heavily-used end-user facing tools to our software landscape. We’ve got the c…

Well, if the edges are the Japanese life expectancy of 84 and 0, then 80 does fall somewhere in the middle. So there should be some four-year-olds in this deck, too.

It’s kind of hilarious that anybody considers this “democratizing” creating media. How many people that need a video clip are going to be capable of running an open version of this…

Maybe? No idea. I'm based in the US, and I know Telus Communications, the parent company is based in Canada. I have no idea if this is even something that would violate a regulatio…

Telus International! Not exactly a sketchy fly-by-night entity, and their job postings for these gigs are all over the place. I guess that after all these years we find out that Te…

I wonder what sort of person is aware enough of DDoS attacks to want to buy one, savvy enough to find where to buy one, yet dumb enough to pay with PayPal. Or accept PayPal if you …

For example: "This makes a lot of sense to me. Because order and variety is what we experience in nature. For example, trees and mountains follow recognizable patterns, they have s…
