I find myself much easier to be a principled individual with $800K in the bank account than without. Isn't that exactly what 'superconformist said?

Spotify had a full-featured Linux client before Electron existed so, barring atemporal causation, it's not the reason.

Asus Zenbook UX410UA with memory extended to 16 GB. Works perfectly with Ubuntu but it's almost two years old so you can probably find something better. Although the only thing I'm missing is charging via USB-C (which it has but c

I have three Bluetooth headsets (and all cheap, in the ~$100 range), use them with Android phones and Linux computers without any issue. The sound quality is par for the price but pairing, connecting, and disconnecting works just like with

Considering someone went through the trouble of inventing, manufacturing, and marketing them when milk was already there, I expect them to taste better.

Perhaps my ancestors were steppe barbarians or something but nothing beats raw cow milk, a taste I never get tired of. These alternatives are fine novelties but they don't come close.

Come on, Facebook's vision is Frindster but 15 years later and Netflix is literally putting TV on the Internet, a Silicon Valley (I mean the show) worthy description.

In my experience, the reason for this is deep specialization. Even for relatively simple jobs, it's very time consuming to get someone up to speed. For complex jobs it's sometimes downright impossible. Bosses respond by heaping mo

Market for journalists has been steadily contracting. They're upset because they will likely not get a job with anything near the kind of power journalism afforded them, even if it's for more money.

Developer tools often have much higher requirements than the resulting product. Not everyone is using vim.

It would only be misleading if they didn't provide the bridge. They do, however, with links to multiple platforms right below the link to the extension.

Bullshit jobs problem is entirely caused by labour being too cheap in turn caused by the only now industrializing third world. Same with poor working conditions. If the corporations had to pay the full cost of employing people without the o

Yeah, it's the modern version of a minor landed gentleman who can pursue his interests. It's how we got science. Sadly, the best argument against UBI is that vast, vast majority of people will not be working full time on F/OS

I am on a couple trackers and forums like that. They're usually pretty slow and those that were once open slow down when they become invite only.

Back when I first installed Linux on a PC it was much more challenging than putting LineageOS on a phone. Especially getting full hardware support on a laptop took a lot of fiddling. Nowadays, Lineage will work perfectly OOTB 99% of the tim

Most companies are unable/unwilling to implement U2F. What are the hopes they adopt "a blockchain-based protocol used for issuing and management of X.509 client certificates"?

Sure it's a feature request but a feature that would be much simpler if the messages were routed through the phone any way.
