Recently I visited my parents and had to pack cycling gear, backpacking gear, wedding suit, on top of my daily clothes. I had two pairs of shoes in my luggage which alone takes up …

Also washing and especially drying is what causes the most wear to your clothes, unless you are performing manual labor in them.

deluge is probably the best for native gui. It doesnt have the amount of integrations as qb and it struggles with many thousands of torrents (or at least it did 10yrs ago), but oth…

Only the elderly who are blind to the decline and can’t even picture a world order outside other than Pax Americana believe we will go back to business as usual. The rest of us rea…

Have you ever been in a union? A union shop is the only place I have ever experienced a true inversion of the power dynamic between myself and my boss even in small part and it is …

I think the wrongful notion comes from the fact that the vast majority of Arch users use and speak about AUR as if it were a part of arch proper, only paying lip service to reviewi…

I used to have a thunderbolt ring network for a ceph backend on my k8s cluster. On Linux load the thunderbolt_net kernel module and they show up the same as any other Ethernet inte…

Well our inmates have washbasins in their bedrooms and we have more inmates than some European countries have citizens.

Fox News et al repeat that their populace chants death to America in the streets, as a means to justify the war to their viewership. It’s not a stretch to assume that a small numbe…

Many of my conservative acquaintances find the death of those kids to be regrettable in the way you come back to find your car over the line regret your parking job. Certainly they…

You give too much credit. Many think of it as an acceptable cost of waging war, not something to waste regret on. Some few think of it as a positive (they chant death to America ov…

Well it’s definitely junk or waste or garbage from the moment you are unable to use it or reclaim it. It so happens in the case of starlink satellites that we don’t have to burn th…

Most won’t fix bugs in non-competitive games are things that don’t prevent players from engaging the intended gameplay loop and are unlikely to be encountered randomly. Who cares i…

Fair enough, 55k would’ve seemed pretty low to me in the NE for a fresh dev. Not 75k though.

Yeah that would make more sense. Though it seems to me AI is currently better at reducing dev headcount than most other roles.

I went to look up how to disable shipped results in facebook marketplace and non Reddit results were all multi page articles. Even if bots are marketing on Reddit at least it’s in …

Those salaries seem low for mid sized cities even no?

AI slop projects, or vibecoded projects, or projects made with heavy llm assistance, or whatever you want to call them are already divisive and the discussions about whether they a…

The rest of the internet is so enshittified by SEO garbage that searching for a problem you’re having and appending reddit is the only way to get a quick answer without scrolling f…

Manufacturing plants bring jobs. What benefits do datacenters bring to their communities?

They could have been category defining, sure. It would still be a fall though is my point. A fall from being a household name across the entire world to a company making components…

The future was the death of Kodak as it existed regardless. They were a chemical manufacturing company that did some software. Their core business was doomed regardless. Could they…

Kodak was definitely mismanaged in many ways but you are correct in your analysis. If they had pivoted hard to digital they could have been what today? Nikon? Fujifilm? These are k…

Tricky and 3 were both great fun. The latter “SSX” was decent but was missing the more arcadey fun of the earlier ones. I tried Steep and it did not hit the spot that hitting uber …
