FWIW, I myself have to stop myself from caring as much, otherwise I get depressed and paralyzed by decision fatigue and deadlines. When someone sets an unrealistic deadline, that m…

The thing is, I just don't get it. Management treat the decisions like they don't have consequences, always getting stuck on local minima. If the plans had a vision with logical st…

> At least big tech is quite rich to afford to think about users. Sadly, this is reality. It is very hard to prioritize in most places living on thin margins.

This is sort of how iOS works(worked?). To share a photo, you had to go find the photo you want to share, then pass that photo explicitly to the app/context you wanted to share it.…

Yeah, well when running remotely it must come back by itself every single time, and I was unable to get reliable results over 6 months of testing. It might 3 months until I can tra…

Yes, I gave up on my rasp pi because of the instability of sd cards. It could barely run a few weeks without manual intervention. Honestly I have no clue how anyone does anything u…

Its also been 5-6 years since. Arm support in the toolchains and libs are much better, and the chips are powerful enough to do testing on them.

I think Proton Mail is ok, but I wish they would focus more on email. I will probably just go back to gmail before the next billing. 3 years and I still dont feel the email part is…

I have to say the story on server side decorations is nasty and disappointing from the GNOME devs.

I also fear this. I dont care about most WMs being left behind, kde and gnome is already spread too thin. And I say that as a xfce user of ten years. Got a new laptop with amdgpu a…

I am 33 and have never even seen a cheque, nor would I have any idea what to do with it. I am in EU though.

And to a non-American the code of conduct trying to bar employees from political initiatives seems... oddly controlling. Did we forget to disagree and discuss? The CEO here should …

Nice These three points has made me raving mad from working with mysql: - The default 'latin1' character set is in fact cp1252, not ISO-8859-1, meaning it contains the extra charac…

5 years is really not that long..

This is such an understatement it feels like the equivalent to «buy low, sell high»

Well, shit. I just started rock climbing. Like half the other tech workers in my city.

Parts of Europe have had massive public opposition to building new nuclear the past 25 years.

Why did you stop using Airmail?

I would have to say this. CLIs are much simpler to make and much cheaper to support. Making one-off tools to automate tasks, or even building a set of internal tools for handling c…

I am curious, did you never even have a look at the spec?
