I can understand why government scientists wouldn't want their name attached if it was discovered that they funded research on the escaped virus. It's less obvious to me why the CI…

Oops, I meant mayor Hardin, not Seldon.

I couldn't get through the first season. The Empire stuff was good, but I thought they really butchered Seldon. In the show, Seldon is portrayed as a warrior with a mystical connec…

I agree. At its best, public transit can be a better experience than driving. But the average experience is often worse than driving.

I disagree. I lived in NYC for 10 years without a car and used public transit for everything. There are plenty of passengers, and that didn't matter. It was just a larger captive a…

I had a similar experience in NYC circa 2019. Several weeks before the scheduled stay, the host wrote that we should lie if anyone asked us about the situation. I was not okay with…

Over time, I've been migrating from Gandi to Porkbun. I've been happy so far.

I didn't finish the TV show (I got maybe halfway through), but my main problem was the changes to Hardin. In the book, Hardin is a shrewd politician, and there's nothing magical or…

I had a YubiKey fail when I touched it and a static shock wiped its memory. I was able to reinitialize it using their app, but the previously loaded key was lost.

I am unhappy with this change, but I can cope with it. I'm more concerned with my tech-challenged family members who don't understand the distinction between different messaging se…

I switched from Gmail to FastMail about 4 years ago and have been very happy with it. At the time, FastMail had no problem importing a decade's worth of emails from Gmail, and I st…

I've been a Gandi customer since 2014 and my opinion of them is not as favorable, especially since they rolled out a new and buggy dashboard a few years ago. Historical problems I'…

I've been using an Oryx Pro (v5) for a few years. It's mostly fine. My main disappointment is that it doesn't "just work" with the kernels shipped by Ubuntu. System76 provides thei…

I had this problem too and I started using https://nitter.net mirrors to "fix" it. A nice side-effect is that Nitter's UI is much less bloated.
