From what I've read, its blatantly illegal. So probably will be undone by the courts in a few months. I wonder if anyone has a list of illegal things this white house has mandated …

My Health savings account provider is trying to force the use of passkeys. I assumed it was a cynical attempt to force the use of their app, which I never needed or wanted, but now…

AI didn't read. (AIDR?)

I see this on my team. I honestly thought as engineers we'd all understand the limitations and nuance a bit better. Right now it's kind of a shit show. In addition to seeing my tea…

This makes sense to me. AI is amazing tech, but it's being oversold to naive public, either on the back of hype, or cynically, knowing they can do it with inpunity, (I'm not sure w…

I work for a fairly big tech company, For the last 2 years, basically stopped hiring people in the US. Only hiring engineers in the India office.

I disagree strongly. I've found that they have more journalistic integrity than most mainstream news pages. Did you see the extremely strong post from the senior editor after this …

I felt the same way for a long time. I switched to linux Mint with cinnamon last september because I'd had enough of windows 11 and feel completely at home on this desktop. I still…

Agreed. As a long time windows user, I never liked ubuntu much (and always had issues with my hardware too). Mint has been amazing for me.

I have always wanted to use linux as my main OS. I tried with Ubuntu twice the past and always ran into really painful hurdles or missing features. This year I tried again with Min…

The x200 was a really neat machine. They run great with linux mint - I have mine running as a home assistant server for our house since my raspberry pi died with flash card corrupt…

I'm so glad linux is well polished enough now that I can finally use it as a daily desktop. Mint 22 is amazing with cinnamon. Switched from win11 about 2 months ago and have not on…

I think maybe the title of this topic post is the main source of misinformation.

US congress not functioning for over a decade causes a few problems.

I've found it very weird observing how CEOs across many companies behave as if they're part of some hivemind. When to do layoffs, how to implement office policies, and now pushing …

Firefox mobile was basically the only option I considered for a long time just because it lets you install Ublock origin . Not sure if other mobile browsers have that now too or no…

This became a hot discussion issue in magic the gathering online (MTGO). I always felt my shuffles in MTGO felt different somehow than my offline paper shuffles. It's hard to know …

My cornea was too thin for lasik, they offered me ICL but it was like 13k vs 5k. And the surgery seems scarier. And apparently they had complaints about the previous generation ICL…

I'll drink to that!

I've been waiting a while now for automatic translated subtitles in vlc. I thought it would be here by now. I'm probably underestimating the difficulty but I'm surprised some video…

No need for trials, just inject it now!

I just saw the N-word written on a fish. so eh.. that didn't last long.

yeah it's like hes complaining about them being evil better then he is able to. lol.

so OP does SEO and also complains about google being evil. I have no sympathy for someone doing SEO to basically ruin the "organic" results and then complain about how google contr…

It would be cool if we had real journalism these days instead of having to find these type of reports on social media.
