I don’t think this is the dick swinging contest you want to have with respect to Linux.

Serious like a great file system that is ZFS?

I never had a problem with systemd init despite its quirky habits like just giving up if a mount is bad in fstab, and I rather like systemd-networkd over the other four or five way…

Keep in mind post tax income sources are king when retiring before age 65 and looking for ACA subsidies.

That isn’t what the person to whom you’re responding is saying. Morse code is very much like a language in that there are audible intonations that differentiate between See, Aye an…

I think this is a pragmatic healthy way to enjoy someone’s work. It is pretty much how I go about it. And it helps that my heroes are all long dead (Michael Collins, for instance )…

Are you serious? Only in the last week we have Sony deleting paid-for movies. That is pretty anti-consumer. I realize all of this is empirical, but the term enshitification just di…

Algorithm analysis and numerical analysis are nothing BUT math.

Such is life.

Me losing $500 to Musk’s clever idea is still me losing money. It isn’t like this is a normal market event. If it is not the end of the world, cover my losses.

Is it when X is clearly engaging in creative financial engineering with a goal of maximizing their value.

Madoff’s scheme ran for nearly 15 years, starting in earnest possibly 20 years before that. I think “long” is very relative to the scam. Carvana has been written about in the WSJ i…

And their tax efficiency over mutual funds when outside tax advantaged accounts.

Maybe a comprehensive privacy law that bans the sale of location data, how is that for a start?

Sony had a NAS device for video storage called the “Petafile”.

Cart abandonment. Good grief, any company that reaches out on that premise immediately loses my business on general principle. I may indeed have forgotten, changed my mind or found…

One of the actors of the show recorded promos for the station, so guess not. The fact that someone posted a link to the article that you probably didn’t read also refutes this prem…

With notifications disabled APNS push notifications fail for the sending app backend. The device id is rendered invalid if push notifications are disabled at any point. Backends ar…

EME has been made a bit more affordable and effective by weak signal modes and DSP. It used to require very high power, expensive transmission lines, preamps and monstrous arrays o…

The backlash is from Meta trying of assign liabilities of their business practices on people who may not even be users. Yes, this is just the beginning of a huge swath of innocent …

I would think Fidelity, Vanguard et al are going to eat Musk for lunch. It’ll take a decade.

I was already on my way to de-internetizing and de-digitalizing my life, this just makes it more of an imperitive. Have at it Meta, you broke it you most certainly bought it!

You are correct, but the problem was the PC only had 16 IRQs. That required using intelligent multi-port cards from Digi or Rocketport. They worked by aggregating all the ports to …

Nuance is dead, it is all collectively distilled to a binary choice these days.
