Loved my OnePlus One and ran nightlies of Cyanogenmod on it for quite a while. I had that bamboo wood backing on the phone that was really nice to the touch. Premium feel and a hac…

WINE via Crossover Linux has become very good. Also webapp versions of Office apps are mostly there and respectable if used in mixed environments. WSL is okay but you are better go…

Great thread that illustrates the mess. Some AI generated steps that are nonsense (there are no settings as mentioned) then everyone mentioning contacting the carrier.

Not joking. My mother has an iPhone and it rings maybe 3 times then goes to vmail. She can't get it out of her purse fast enough. I thought no problem to increase rings before that…

Lasercats that was briefly on the old theatre on Divisadero remains a favorite. This was like 15 years ago. https://mergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/xndqw-full.jpg

I realize this might be a trap but will bite anyway. I would suggest you should be the person you would want as a resource and help but to others. Do it to genuinely be helpful and…

Yes indeed. Thank you.

This article is a great example of the Strawman Fallacy. I suppose it's a method to generate traffic but I would argue a key aspect of servant leadership is being transparent that …

There you go - "is there a big amount of companies in a specific sector that are valued far above their returns". If that answer is yes, that means we are in a speculative bubble."…

Okay - that is too extreme of a "bubble" definition for me. False dilemma. So, then, I guess, nothing is a bubble for you. For me, a more reasonable definition is a large build-up …

I appreciate the author trying to address this. The only issue is the author didn't define what 'pops' in the bubble. The 'what' that pops, probably, IMHO, is the investment and re…

Used to love Synology and had a NAS from them, but it EOL'd and it was a shame since the hardware and drives were fine. I went to TrueNas and have been extremely happy and never lo…

I like and appreciate the authors points but just wish they would have done more with the connection of the two. You might be valued because you are many things. You might not be v…

They are awful often for me. Examples - recommending installation of packages and software that doesn't exist, or settings changes that don't exist I In applications, etc. They fil…

Switching to Linux is not easy. You almost have to hit a wall when you are just done with the bargaining to keep something like Apple or Windows. It kind of takes a major jump. You…

Not joking and not being snarky here .. Honestly, you might not be able to work for someone or something else. It's going to be hard for others to meet the levels it seems you deta…

Should not be flagged.
