    Oooo! Depending on your taste you're in for either a very boring movie or the experience of a lifetime. Complete with an associated rabbit hole of mystery surrounding the director:…

    I think in this case it's more like you've bought a truck but you put a lawnmower engine in it. It's a big step between esoterics and "please don't use the cheap shitty DAC that wa…

    Running a Matrix homeserver is still quite a pain in the ass, especially because there is no real automatic way to purge old history. Join a busy room once and pay for it in megs o…

    That's horrible. I just looked at some farming methods. Man, all the evils of humanity... Caging has been illegal in Switzerland since 1992, that probably makes part of the price d…

    Wow, U.S. egg pricing seems crazy to me. It's US$ 9.90/dozen in Switzerland at a normal nationwide store vs. US$ 5.90 at Aldi Suisse (both selling free-range Swiss eggs). This can'…

    Indeed, and if they'd spent their time creating a standard protocol for "modern" chat and implementing a native app per platform they could perhaps be the harbingers of the world's…

    I think that's not really fair, only a few bundles a year are actually labeled "Humble Indie Bundle", and those do usually fit the bill and check all three boxes. There were 13 Hum…
