For about a year I could tell when my phone was about to ring in my pocket before the screen turned on. Something in the telemetry hardware stack whirring up made it feel a very very very near-imperceptibly tingly. But then I changed phones

Does it smell like a stinkbug/coriander? I confess I've handled daddy longlegs my entire life but never thought to smell them lol.

Just started using it last month. Used Mint until a year or two after Intuit bought it, then basically did no real budgeting until my recent GnuCash use. A few YouTube vids made the interface less daunting and I read a few Reddit comments o

I would say 90% of the struggle of my learning to play piano was developing the correct muscle memory for the right motions for the right measures of the right song. The academic "Can I read and understand this sheet music?" is ma

After thinking about it I don't disagree, and can only offer a data point that I don't think I've ever personally needed such a tool, even as a Gimp noob.

To be fair to you, I think it's a valuable comment and the replies were insightful to me. Maybe your comment was being read as anti-Gimp (Gimp stories always get a lot of low-effort "Why hasn't Gimp done <x> yet??"

At that point just have a Shapes tool with every shape under the sun. Just having a dedicated tool to draw circles seems like a waste of valuable UI surface.

More relevant to the article, Chrome extensions can't just "open a zillion connections." Included scripts must be unminified and external scripts are strictly declared ahead of time with more secure default permissions. I lik

It's an ancient Egyptian deity whose essence was trapped inside a trading card, but not before driving the card's initial artist to suicide[0]. https://youtu.be/-nab64DWEh8?t=268

I don't think the idea of a "public square" is long for the internet, if it hasn't already been abandoned. Enforced social (and possibly evolutionary) norms scale in-person to a couple hundred people, but not thousands o

Valuation is only useful if you're looking for an exit, and maybe if you need to borrow a lot of debt (but if you're bootstrapped, that's not on the table). For lifestyle startups, profit is cold hard cash and valuation is a

That's kinda the problem though: the N9 was a drop in the Nokia bucket, so no one noticed. The iPhone X's big splash is easily explained.

It's not destroyed, it exists somewhere. And IMO it's just as likely it sees release in the next 1000 years as it is accidentally destroyed or lost. Movie studio regimes change all the time, and it's possible to un-tax-write-

It would be called "Fedora Workstation Atomic" unless they wanted to rename the Workstation branding too. Keeping Silverblue makes sense to me with that in mind. I feel like Fedora Kinoite should be renamed though. The one "h
