Well, can you help me understand how the conversation was detoured in the first place? I tried to read it, but as mentioned I don't use Twitter so it's confusing to me. If I read it right...a person posted a photo that turned pix

Wait...ignoring a discussion on Twitter is a privilege now? Some people don't have the privilege to do so? Just...put down your phone? I guess that makes me super privileged, seeing as I don't visit that cess pool of a site.

I hope so, too. I'm not really interested in 'social' these days, but joined Gab early on out of curiosity to check it out. That didn't last long. While not everyone was bad, there existed enough racist and hateful c

I remember Cyrix as just releasing Intel compatible/clone chips, am I misremembering something?

Same. I've always wondered this, but never enough to google. Amazing the things I learn just clicking random links here.

Well, unless it's changed, the big problem is that it seems the first person to sign up is the moderator/leader/whatever. And those are the people with nothing better to do, who subdivide to gain power over some amount of ho

Same for Louisville, generally speaking. FWIW, I'm a 'lulvul' guy.

Not sure the rules on this... but I am moving from ITX to mATX probably next week. If you're interested in miniITX b450 I don't really have a plan for mine, email is in profile.

Someone wasn't around for the Gnome 2 to 3 switch, it sounds like.

I don't understand why people favor Snap or Flatpak to Appimage, which looks to be the simplest of the three. Would anyone mind sharing their experiences?

LOL. That was a wild ride, thanks for sharing.

I find the top comment to be the most insightful thing here, and wish everyone who is running these campaigns would read it.

Yeah, you were in an unfortunate situation with your graphics card, which the problems stemmed from. Navi support was just added in Linux 5.3 iirc, and that was just the first draft of the drivers. Then for a while you had to use a specia

This is all great information. FWIW, managing and automating anycasted 'middleboxes' for others is part of my work. The scary part, to me, is what paying customers demand. Largely, they don't want to fix broken or legacy s

Middleboxes can still do that, assuming they have a valid SSL certificate. But that obviously makes it a -trusted- middlebox, not say, your ISPs middlebox.

I think it's just a paradigm difference. For me at least, I think better about tests -after- implementation. A short example. Let's say I had to write a hash function. If I were forced to write a test for it up front, I'd

It's funny you say that. Not long ago, one fresh dev was tasked with linting old code. Their first pass was to delete everything that the linter complained about. Hey, I guess they solved the problem!

This sounds awful. In fact, TDD as a whole is awful. I'm a developer, I can make any awful code pass any test I want.

Yep. Still not one single photo of the non existent treasure, neither by the bullshit artist or the fictional person who found it. Why does the media give this guy attention?

While I did well enough, there were a couple questions that brought me back to my horrors in engineering school. Specifically, 'if you fold this, what touches what.'. I'm completely incapable of doing this, and don't kn

Keep in mind, PepsiCo is huge, and not just 'Pepsi' as its name makes one think. They own or are affiliated with a large portion of your typical drink, snack, breakfast, and juice aisles of the grocery store.

As someone with both, both have their place, but HBO is a strong offering. HBO in-house content is way better, and they have a lot more good movies available to watch on demand. I'd say Netflix wins strictly at UI, and variety overal

Whether this is true or not(I can't be bothered to research), it sure feels that way sometimes. I remember recently overhearing what started as a friendly conversation in a waiting room. It devolved into politics, and I remember the

Given his history, character, and song content, I can only think it's for the best. If I owned a service, I wouldn't touch his stuff with a 50 ft pole. I think it's in a good spot... it's not outright banned, and peop

I think that's just a shift. It's not that the market for the functionality dried up, it just all moved to the internet. And that market is everbooming.

Forum search was my absolute favorite part of Google. Is there any good alternative?

Fewer humans is a cop out. We need humans who won't pollute the earth to death. We need borderline Authoritarianism that protects the environment. 90 or so percent of humans just want to survive. If society tells them they need a c

The nonsavy user gets zero privacy. Who cares about encrypted DNS when your ISP sees every server you connect to?
