I completely agree with you, but technology is encouraging us to 'rely' on it's helpful beeps, alerts, and flashes. Soon we will have trained an entire generation to 'drive-by-sensors' and not senses.

I really love how you have setup your contact. I'm a Systems Admin, and not who you are looking for; but this both keeps your email away from the scrapers and adds a small 'barrier to entry'.

Take a close look at the others in the office when you 'walk through' to the conference room. "Ripped jeans and Concert T's" vs "Suit & Tie" vs "other" In my experience, the apparel of the ot

I've had the chance to meet several of the developers at the BSDCan conferences; kudos people, you really deserve it. I moved to BSD world when Debian adopted SystemD and I am happy that I did. It is often said that Linux is more stab

I don't know _what_ is going on but I have a guess. I live in Canada. We see these 'Hepatitis vaccine' posters at every doctors office/clinc. They are all related to "going on vacation somewhere warm". So th

I'm almost blind (legally), and this is the first extension I found that PERFECTLY fixes the contrast so I don't need 20-point font zoom to be able to read it. I have tried dozens of FF extensions to adjust contrast, dark theme,

This tip saved me a lot of headache. I'm currently running KDEv5 and while I got 'most' of the scaling adjusted properly, this setting fixed the size of the tabs, and other annoyances I was experiencing on FireFox. Thank-you.
