Yeah, I wish i could downvote this purely because of the deceptive title.

I took a commuter train in NJ earlier this year and i was shocked at the windows. Seriously, every other train system in the world can pull off clean windows but not New Jersey? In…

Did they ever figure out how to run nix on top of MacOS? When I see a project uses Nix I know the creators aren't serious. It's kind of like seeing something is written in Lisp or …

There needs to be massive reform in the way infrastructure is built in the US yet nobody is even proposing a fix.

Use Nix on a Mac they say, it’s easy. Just follow this 20 page long blog post and then spend every day fighting against how the OS wants to work. I’ve tried Nix on a Mac half a doz…

Essentially when you choose AGPL you're choosing non-commercial use.

The new Threads app is clearly not an update of their dead photo focused messaging app. I doubt any code was reused at all.

The service to get around paywalls, archive.is, has been disabled by cloudflare.

When i see a project uses Nix, i think, oh fuck me, they don't care about anybody using their stuff.

This is terrible anti-social advice. Getting projects to work is about organizing people to work together. Unless your DJB, software is a team sport. If it is a one person project …

Because OAuth 2.0 sucks and got all bloated. The 1.0 version worked great for everybody but super big companies like google and facebook. But then big companies came in and made it…

People pirate streams of soccer matches because it's nearly impossible to pay for legally. The matches for a single team or league are spread out amongst a ton of different streami…

There's a new nip to cover the metadata for images and media including being able to use torrents for file hosting. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/94.md

It's slow and expensive. In comparison, I moved from Uruguay where you could get 5G almost everywhere, and in VERY rural areas it drops to 4G. Per GB of pre-paid data, NZ is 20,000…

The rural mobile coverage in Aotearoa New Zealand is terrible. I'm excited about this. This probably will get me to switch from Spark because at the moment they have the best rural…

This ban and the bills seem bad, but they're not as bad as these folks make out on the video: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/03/government-hasnt-justi...

Doe nix work at all? Or is it just not actually functional on top of MacOS? I've tried a dozen times over the years and I've never gotten it working. Seriously, how is anything so …

There are people who've only caught covid once? Everybody I know's had it multiple times.

My great grandfather was an executive with some Canadian railroad company and I remember hearing about how my dad would get rides in his grandfather's private car attached to train…

That's weird, I can tickle myself but am not at all ticklish when anybody else does it. This has always proved to be a kind of superpower when in a tickle fight. I've never looked …

I made $3k from the palm stock and $7k from twitter... quite the fortune. ;-D
