Things like this help me: Matthew 10:29-31: Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are wo

I call shenanigans. Take a look at any dense urban environment: * Concrete and asphalt EVERYWHERE. Ask yourself about the carbon cost of all that concrete - which, in the northeast, requires constant repair. * Street lighting - I mean, you

The words "vibrant, dense neighborhoods" might mean "high crime, low privacy, and high noise" to people who prefer living elsewhere. Lots of people write glowingly about the "gritty, vibrant" streets of 1970s N

Here's how it works in the U.S., and why it doesn't go away: * A scumsucking business decides to hawk some scam. They start by creating an LLC (a limited liability company) devoted to telecommunications, ostensibly to resell telep

That story is really great - I can honestly imagine a Silicon Valley startup party going exactly like the story describes.

I switched to Linux full-time a couple years ago. I had a Windows desktop for the same reasons - games. Once Valve incorporated Proton, it was all over for Windows for me. I already used Linux (Debian/Devuan) full-time at work on my la

Why would you pay for this? Why would you even associate with a company who will not even sell you, a private individual, an option that does not include this? What about using Linux on the desktop is "difficult" enough to justify

Well, I think you could potentially sign any rooting app at least. I'd like to see os-level signing so we can take older devices like Samsung tablets and put Samsung-less Android on it.

I wonder if any of these leaked keys were used to sign the base android installers for the phones themselves? If so, this might be a way to get new versions of AOSP onto Samsung phones that are bootloader-locked and have no current support

Those kinds of fans typically use a bronze bushing rather than a bearing. These bushings are long-lived, but eventually wear. When the bearing hole enlarges as part of the wear process, the fan rotor shaft now has additional room for latera

I remember when the Unreal Tournament demo came out - it was supposed to be locked to owners of 3Dfx cards, but if you put an empty file in the game directory called glide2x.dll, it would run in a software-only renderer. At the time, I work

I gave up Windows entirely; between unavoidable telemetry, embedded ads, and poor service pack QA (especially printers), I'm done. I'm not paying to rent an O/S and sell my personal habits regardless of what Microsoft thinks

As someone who has repaired both old and new cars, I would agree. I've rebuilt a VW Beetle from the ground up - tore the whole engine apart, new bores, the works. I could do this in a couple of afternoons on the Beetle, but I don'

My near-in sight was absolutely fine. Nowadays, it's getting harder to read near-in, but I think that's just age - I'm in my 50's now. I need good lighting to read the tiniest stuff like the voltage output printing on th

I had lasik in 1999. I was legally blind (uncorrected) in my left eye, and needed a pretty serious correction in my right eye. After lasik, my vision was 20/15 (left) and 20/10 (right). Now, in 2022, I still have no need of glasse

Rural person here. My personal favorite is when people move to old subdivided farm properties, then bitch endlessly to their township supervisors that the remaining farms around them generate manure smells. Also, they're used to city l

The distros don't update Firefox as often as Firefox does. If you want leading-edge on Linux, it's best to install to a directory you have write access to with the official Linux Firefox installer, and let the browser update itsel

I'd like to throw my two cents in on Devuan. This is a fork of Debian that simply doesn't include systemd, but does include all the other work that Debian has done, and tracks all the Debian releases. This is my daily driver for b
