As someone from South America I find it interesting that people born and raised in developed countries would think that phone-snatching detection is a bogeyman feature. Over there …

The thing is that some people start to adopt certain "mannerisms" from their LLM of choice. It's not funny in and by itself, but it tends to be unnecessarily pompous words/expressi…

When people interact with spouses and coworkers, it's still human-to-human interaction. There is a person on the other end. Not quite the same when your head doctor, DJ, gym coach,…

Wouldn't you solve the space allocation issue by using a symbolic link? Sorry if it's a dumb question - I'm just getting into sandboxing for the first time myself and ran into this…

You hit the nail in the head. Those who say stuff like "nobody makes me feel integrated" would also very much struggle to befriend people in their own country if they got dropped a…

You'd be surprised at the lengths some will go to avoid learning a new language. I've met people who have lived over 20y in a country while working, having and raising kids there a…

Programs, configs and "other bits" are the trivial parts that no one should care about. It takes about 5min to go from fresh install to near-fully-configured. Even the hardware its…

Are you using something like Bubblewrap/Firejail/Flatpak, or what does such a setup look like? I've been entertaining a similar idea for a while but haven't gotten to it

I think the issue is that the parallax is choppy in your page. For whatever it's worth, I typically don't care much about parallax in itself but I thought the same thing about the …

Sounds like bandaids on top of bandaids, at which point you start to wonder if the idea is fundamentally broken.

Yeah, because we'd hate to allow people from poor countries to contribute to FOSS projects, right? Or teenagers without full access to online banking. Or the unemployed.

NPM seems to have introduced the flag `minimumReleaseAge` for this exact purpose. However even though are many recent references to it[0][1][2] I don't see it anywhere in the NPM d…

"We're sorry we got caught"

While I'm sure the US has its quirks, this is not a US-only "problem" (not a health expert so I'm not sure if it's even a problem to begin with). I live in Norway and have heard fr…

Do you use this when running tmux remotely? (I only run it in my own machines so it never runs as root anyway)

I love me a good drop cap, but you're right in that this example is not good.

Also much more dangerous, right? Since you're spending so much time on the road.

TIL that the Xperia line is still alive and kicking. Sweet phones!
