I think we're getting faster at iterating on bringing up dev environments. Silverblue is my favorite, but it's becoming common for me to develop everything within a docker image. A…

This is something I'd be comfortable with maintaining, but I couldn't leave with my dad. (I work on the road for months, and it's unpredictable when I come back. Longest I was out …

The GPU is important.. afaik the keyboard and trackpad aren't working yet in Asahi Linux. I don't expect Apple to support the Linux community. It feels like this is trending in one…

1) We are now 2 generations in without full Linux support for the hardware. 2) I used my Powerbook G4 for 12 years; this is mostly because I was a kid with no money. When I got som…

I want it, but I'm not getting it until all the hardware works under Linux. MacOS is great, but someday they will stop updating MacOS for this. I see it as a device with incredible…

That's an important distinction, but I think it's getting more common to post for positions you have filled so there are resumes available if someone takes flight. Resumes don't me…

This is the most tactless thing they could have done to bring 2A proponents to the table to discuss responsible legislation. *puts on tinfoil hat*

I'm optimistic growing remote work means extending the working life of an SWE (counter to ageism).

I'm not saying it's a good idea to give everyone a gun, but I do like the argument that the disadvantaged have the same opportunity to pull a trigger. I hope humanity learns wisdom…

I'm no great software engineer, but I'm curious if there are any strong opinions on which executable format is the best. Formats like PE or ELF or (a.out?) or others? Typically if …

While likely not your situation, a free and open-source app doesn't guarantee it will safeguard your data :x

I'd like to think these ideas have been around and well-known for decades, and we're starting to see the hardware rise up to support them. If you told someone in 2001 that Linux wo…

That + the Temporary Containers extension can make every new tab a new container by default. I also use Container Proxy so I can route traffic from each tab through a different pro…

Still coming to my own conclusion here, but I wouldn't dismiss "easy button" as marketing. We keep hoping for easy buttons and reasonable default settings in things like openssl or…

While likely not your situation, paying for an app doesn't guarantee it will safeguard your data :x

This is my own inexperience with OOP showing: I keep wondering if trait/protocol/interface programming has made inheritance entirely worthless. Love Rust. I've been working in Java…

I think hardware attestation is the most dangerous thing in recent history. All they have to do is convince the public that certain programs are like owning a gun or a bazooka that…

I think most of the country gets a bad rep for regulation and initiatives and laws that don't have positive effect. My parents are in the crowd that want to leave California becaus…

I try to humble myself there. While 32GB seems ridiculous for 2005, I've absolutely enjoyed having 64GB in 2022. Yes, apps have gotten more bloated. Yes there are many wasteful fra…

My understanding is that Intel boosts power so a single core can chew through a program quicker than being inherently energy efficient (performance-per-watt). Most of the time this…

I don't know why you're being downvoted. While I would commonly understand people want to avoid taxes, I think there's a real question in there: Why don't people want to contribute…

I just want to run a VM on an iPad. I don't consider the iPad or Apple to be the best device to protect my privacy, but it is the most comfortable tablet/portable experience. What …

I was mostly remarking on the lack of (significant) innovation. I'd say the best feature here has been airplay/miracast for drive-by screen sharing from my sister/mom/dad on their …

The thing that really bothers me are all these "AI" technologies in my new LG oled tv that don't actually get used. All of them to reduce "crushed" images, correct color, improve b…

You mentioned things I hadn't thought of. Google's Search accomplishes the goals of 10 years ago, but steps no further than that. It treats its power users like kids, and offers no…
