    I tried looking into this too but couldn't get further than some reddit bickering and a handful of forum posts. Not a Tesla owner myself but might want to be if the privacy issues …

    Ok, where are the companies using FreeBSD? How do you get hired if you do happen to have proper FreeBSD skills? It's notably absent from all the job listings.

    Ah yes, the classic HN hair splitting meta-argument. No.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they "sold" (at a nominal price) the extra stock to a company outside the union for "resale" (burning in India or dumping into the ocean) What we really …

    I thought about getting a traditional navigator to avoid even relying on phone navigation. Well, of course all the Garmins and Tomtoms available now have "built-in wifi for updates…

    Shallow clickbait article that just lists some anecdotal gripes. The business tax sounds just like EU VAT, nothing unusual. This is supposed to be The Economist?

    At least in my 2.5 person devops team, no. Also I can't imagine how being handed a bunch of autogenerated terraform and ansible code would help me. Maybe 10% of my time is spent ac…

    First, thank you for the article, this is exactly what I need. As for Home Assistant, I share your sentiment. I run my own stuff because I want to understand my infrastructure (vs.…

    Agreed. The whole emoji phenomenon is a kind of infantilizing cultural rot -- it makes serious, static documentation and tooling resemble a children's book and hinders live communi…

    "all your personal information" != contact details != phone number but enjoy your meds, anyway

    Well, at least then you could think of the addons as local slang. It's still unnecessary, but limited to the social circle at your workplace. I didn't have a huge beef with the pro…

    I guess I should feel relieved that I don't at least have my work discussions littered with these ones. But they're not too different from the set of infantilizing pictograms that …

    No. The user data, preferences etc under ~/Library/ belong to you - whether it's 3 kB of preference toggles or 3 decades of email. It would be "unbelievable" if a multibillion comp…

    Holy crap, this is amazing. I had already lost hope of finding a civilized email client. This is what all software should look like. Thank you.

    Thunderbird still is pretty fast, though not as fast as before. And until the user-hostile changes (mandatory setup wizards) began creeping in a few years back, one of the venerabl…

    Yes, it's buggy as hell. Whether you run on Debian stable or their own Neon distro, you're just switching one set of bugs to another. KMail is categorically unusable; the editor ma…

    Holy shit that's an impressive browser. Some glitches for sure and I couldn't actually draw in Excalidraw, but I obviously wasn't expecting to.

    Ubuntu LTS based, apparently has been around since 2009. Reviews from past years concentrate on it being "easy to adopt because it resembles Windows xyz". OP's review implies it's …

    The title should be "Don't move to Tallinn". Learn some Estonian and spend time in the smaller towns and cities. And yes, Estonian customer service is often short and to the point.…

    I've been trying to live with KDE 5 on Debian 11 and Fedora for about half a year. I don't know if the signatories had this in mind, but on both OSes the GUI experience is a sad, b…

    There are disruptions in GPS signals in Eastern and Central Finland as well. [1] No prizes for guessing the most obvious culprit. [1] https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-12348237

    No matter what theme you choose, the text is bloody unreadable. Why would they publish a website like this? Why did OP post this? > but they have the right.... I didn't deny that.
