Regarding your last paragraph, I thought the same... When the author wrote: > I'm instantly transported back to that moment — the room, the lighting, the chair I was in, the table, the pit in my stomach, ... I could'nt help but

Doing so head-on solves the problem faster. Talking directly to someone or about the problem as it is has felt to me like people can understand and act quicker. Less malcontent is felt by those affected by such a person's incompetence.

Does anyone know the social mechanisms behind the scenes that allow them to negotiate such effective deals? Spotify is deeply in bed with the traditional labels/music industry and that industry seems to be able to "move" stuf

Interesting, thanks for the insights. The next time I feel frustrated enough I'll have to do that. Part of me was considering just self-hosting an alternative YT frontend. At this point I'm sorta happy with how YT slowly has decre

I use Firefox and uBO and I had it trigger about 4 times now. I go and manually pull the uBO "Quick Fixes" list and still it triggers for me. Recently it has stopped triggering again though. I have no idea why.

They say the original repositories predate Element. But no idea on who owns them or who's being forked _from_?

LUKS or eCryptfs work perfectly fine for the "stealing your laptop" use case, and are purely software implementations. There's a poster below that provides a more reasonable use case for TPM. Headless server where asking for

True... Though I've seen projects selling Discord hacking as a SaaS. And I never understood who was paying for that service and why. I also don't know enough IRC to know if hacking it was monetizable in that way

The author defers a lot to their "fixing search" article[0] for arguments and numbers. That article wrongly assumes that search (and the other problems mentioned, like social) is simple to rebuild to avoid misaligned incentives by

Tabs wouldn't be so bad if there was a unified tabular interface for all windows/tab-likes. And I'm not taking about a "your Chrome tabs are just apps in your quick switch menu" like on Android. I'm talking lik

I'm glad Ive avoided that somehow, it stopped after the crypto spam stopped a year ago. Mostly after leaving a couple bigger servers.

Tabs also store an implicit chronology and don't require organization other than the order/vague time they were "saved" and the related tree they were in (tree-style tabs). I also find the tab scrolling UI of a long list

Why do people go after Discord accounts so hard? They're not commonly used for OAuth into third party sites, they don't house money, and Discord makes it hard to get all the data out of an account anyway (GDPR request only returns

I use a hybrid approach. Next.js is the base for my site but I use next-sitemap and a hand rolled content compiler (md -> html -> jsx) for feeds, meta tags, and generating every page I dont manually specify as a .tsx file. I like havi

Doesn't the bankruptcy court liquidate pieces of the company on behalf of the creditors if that is part of the agreement that is reached?

While true, it is nice to know the powers that produced an accomplishment up front. Otherwise we are stuck with a warped view of how things happen

Why is work like this nowadays? A company I work with has an internal global Yammer instance. It's been filled with people commenting very polarizing opinions on this topic. Perhaps magnified because we have employees in affected count

Oh no, I hope it doesn't extend to that model year. I just bought a 2023 and saw posts about battery issues before I bought and was a little worried I might end up with the same thing.

Should've read the article. Tbh, this attitude is part of the problem. To be as hard as the "Marlboro Man" (mentioned in the article) and require complete stoicism seems to have landed people like those described in the artic

They can't prevent it, but they can certainly disavow it. By explicitly saying they don't support it or by making it harder to sell to the next person like region-locked or console-locked media. I guess I'm surprised they don

But doesn't Apple explicitly disavow secondary sales? No way would they unlock a device like this for your relative. It's odd that they won't unlock it even for the original owner. In what cases do they even plan to unlock th

There is movement on the price/cost front. I found one tool that provides this data in a more searchable way (turquoise.health) and used it with limited success. I believe the upstream data is public as well, but cant remember the name

From the other comments it doesn't look like the data source is machine readable. It looks like there's automated OCR of PDFs. A similar project was doing the same but with human labor

Is it very common to contact _every_ maintainer and back out changes from ones who don't respond for license changes? I feel like I've heard of many larger companies doing relicenses on their open source without this kind of effor

Is there a link to the community where this is being developed? I was unable to find one on the site itself. I'd be interested in writing a scraper for my state and the digitization pipeline.
