Making prey less scared of the predator makes them significantly more likely to be eaten by that predator. The reality is even worse than “seeking out cats” because it means if it …

The problem with filling up a ssd is that it writes and rewrites the same blocks over and over defeating the built in wear leveling. Filling an ssd creates the one situation where …

Can’t. Some asshole convinced us to allow them to frame advertising as speech to get it protected by the first amendment. Clever. Tragic, but clever. If you ask me advertising is m…

They like to say that but it’s not true. The constitution still applies. Here’s the thing. We live in a democracy. We get to decide how far our government goes. This one is a bridg…

Pretty sure this qualifies as destruction of data (at least it is a supported mechanism according to NIST data destruction guidelines.) I don’t have the link handy but I quick goog…

Ai can’t cook so no.

It’s a bold move Cotton. Let’s see how it works out for them.

Oh god no.

I was running Ubuntu everywhere until they started locking security updates behind a login. Now I’m Debian for servers and whatever comfortable Debian based user experience is popu…

I really like being able to map the Mac key bindings. I run Zorin on an old Mac and I am pleased with it.

I’ve recently been thinking about this a lot. We usually focus on what they have (billions) not where it came from (you) When you frame it like that, the story becomes stark. We sh…

I own my books too. I’m not sure I buy the argument about ebooks being superior. Remember when airplanes made you put your ebook away for takeoff and landing? My books are always c…

At least the price fixers there will get sentenced to death.
