Taking the cash from a bank deprives others of the money. Duplicating a video doesn’t deprive another person of anything. Piracy is simple: when you make your product more convenient than piracy, people use it. Steam is popular for a reason

I switched to Everything for search a while ago and haven’t looked back. For the start menu I replace it with Open Shell, which seems to find apps much more reliably.

I think it comes from a difference in what people want. Some people want to achieve goals, while others want to be given tools to be creative. There's a whole spectrum in between, plus other motivations as well. I enjoy being creativ

There's a normal torrent avaiable from archive.org? https://archive.org/download/vddk_20260825/vddk_20260825_arc... From this page: https://archive.org/details/vddk_20260825

Then why not just say that in the post? "Our matching donor wishes to remain anonymous, but we thank them for their generosity" Simple.

That’s what I want to know before committing too.

Luckily I have an amazing wife. We don't hide anything from each other, and she's always been there for me (just as I have for her). I have good support. That said, you say "it's normal to look forward to the weekend b

Agreed. This sounds like absolute hell. No time for even a single hobby? Where's your pleasure in life?

I fully empathise. It feels like my career went from upwards to a horizontal line. I have far less energy for work, for learning, and for the things I'm interested in. It's incredibly demoralising. I dread weekends and look fo

Also as a parent, I still don't understand. I have two kids and regret it. They suck all the time and energy from my life. I give my all to be a great parent to them, and I would never let them know that I regret having kids, but if

Exactly. I probably spend 1.5x the money on a really solid build, and it's paid off - I'm still running just fine on a 10 year old desktop (overclocked i7-6850K). The only component I've upgraded (other than hard drives) is

I fully agree that speech evolves, but maybe this is just in the US? I've never really heard anyone say it here in Australia, it's usually "times", although admittedly almost no one uses the phrase/format here.

If anything, writing "7x" is actually just a poor emulation of writing "7×". Saying something is "done at 7x speed" should be read as "done at seven times speed" not as "done at seven x speed&quo

Thank you for linking it. What a powerful moment.

TF stands for TransFlash, which was the name for microSD before it was renamed back in the mid 2000s.

Given how cheap this is, I feel like this makes for a great camera to give to a kid. The camera gets out of the way (no built-in games like a lot of kiddy cameras have) and the focus is placed on framing and taking photos, then reviewing l

Great article. I have a big soft spot for typography, so learning that (La)TeX effectively emulates monotype's setting capabilities and practices was fascinating. For others looking for the Moby Dick comparison PDF (the link in the ar

I'm from Australia where we really don't have any 'national dishes', so we just eat a wide variety of everyone else's dishes. I've never heard of ackee, saltfish, oxtail stew, or Jamaican beef patties. Does t

I was in the mini camp as well, but the reality is that even the mini can't be used one-handed with ease. Based on that, I switched to a pro max model and haven't looked back. If no one-handed option is available then I'll

I don't think they're equating it, moreso saying that, on a technicality, it's already a computer that's always flying the plane, but that the AI and the flight control system are quite different. It's a fair commen

Cyan is severely under-represented by monitors, so the extra pixel is a dedicated cyan. It dramatically improves the ability to display blue/green colours. *edit: found the link I was after on this: https://moultano.wordpre

Obviously it's the singular form of Ubuntu. Like, one "ubunt", two "ubuntu", etc.

For people who think in words maybe? I don’t have an internal monologue, so it’s quite foreign to me.

Exactly my thoughts too. I abandoned Dropbox because there was no upgrade path from free to low-paid-tier. $10 a month is not cheap. Heck, I pay less than that for Amazon prime and that offers a lot more value. I don’t need 2TB of cloud sto

In Australia, where I live, pet cats are responsible for a huge amount of damage to wildlife, as per https://invasives.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Pet-cat-... From the linked paper: Pet cats, despi

Exactly. Please keep cats indoors - they kill all the local wildlife. I have a cat and it stays indoors exclusively.

I hope you’re in a position where you can have an honest conversation about it with your partner. I’ve come to realise over time that honest and open communication is the most critical thing in any relationship. I really hope it works out f
