I agree with other sentiments of don't worry too much about the distro, but just do it. There is a lot of "it just works" all over many distros. As a daily driver though, you might…

For context, I'm an accountant in South Africa. About a year ago I made an ad-free, free app to let people share plants with others around them for free, because there wasn't one. …

Quick poll so I know if I'm the crazy one, does anyone else NOT disabled their ad blocker and just not read the article? Even though I'm interested to know apple's reasons for taki…

I agree that nobody cares enough. When was the last time you read anything good or promising about any of these sites - bot related or otherwise? but they persist because of a snow…

My linux gaming experience has left me with a wierd irony... I have been stealing windows for the last 25 years and never ever felt like i owed M$ a cent. Now after totally switchi…

I've been working on Plantshare, a free app that aims to help gardeners share plants with other local gardeners. If you do gardening, it's likely that your plants are making more p…

That's like asking how do you convince people you dug a hole without using a shovel... who cares what tools were used unless you're in some kind of game with such rules. the shovel…

I agree with this, break it down further. When instructing it to execute the plan, i would even have it only execute step 1, then you review. then step 2, review and so on. this pr…

Thank you for sharing this, now I feel less dumb. Recently I had the pain of publishing my app (Flutter/Dart) on the apple Appstore, admittedly, my first experience using a mac in …

True, it's called Treasure Island because of all the stolen treasure it holds.. but jokes aside (shouldn't be a joke) i'm going to have a friend pick up one for me in UK and send i…
