When I was a kid in the 90s (in Australia, not the US), we lived in a cul-de-sac suburb, and every cul-de-sac had a footpath to nearby streets and parklands. In the early 2000s, residents realised they could petition the local government to

Banning is a little over the top but I would very much like to see much better labeling schemes to help people avoid this stuff.

Structured slightly differently in Australia but yes there is a voting body of owners. Problem is the owners don't live here and don't give a shit if I have working waste disposal outside of receiving their rent payment. That&#x27

This decoupling of capital for building houses and those who "consume" the housing is only going to increase this problem. My apartment tower has broke garbage disposal chutes on _every single floor_. That is, the building's

Yes and no. I'd rather pay ongoing costs for something that has ongoing costs (even if that's just paying some dude to create features I don't want) rather than have it be ad supported. Having thought on it a small amount, I

There are people out there gaming at 30fps with their TV set to Super Duper Image Processing Mode 500ms Latency Edition. Though I suppose these are realistically already served by the cloud gaming offerings.

While we were all watching CCP implement their social credit system, big tech gave us one while our gaze was elsewhere. These algorithmic systems can pretty quickly make you an unperson in our society.

Do Meta not develop btrfs for their internal use? I don't think community sentiment is a big factor for them.

My contract is for 38hrs a week so I work 38hrs a week. Teams I've been on have had "crunch", ie. team members working back late in some misguided effort to ship "on time". What I find interesting about this is that

Be interesting to know why this doesn't work for you, my magic trackpad always works wireless in the pre-boot/recovery environments.

Google doesn't have to rent their GPUs to anyone if they don't want to. Besides, their incompetence allows companies like Lambda to fill the niche, and probably do a better job of it than Google do.

Who knows why you're being downvoted, and I'd say it's _more_ well known than GIMP. My sister has used Photopea. She's as far from a sophisticated computer user as you can get. Regular people can stumble across Photopea,

Most games just accept this. One of the most profitable games in history (GTA Online) is trivially hackable because there is no server maintaining state, it's just peers telling each other what they did.

Why not? It's just a job. Whatever allows you to extract the most of what you want and give as little as possible in return. I don't see myself leaving the role I'm currently in voluntarily, but managers have a way of causing

Lovely handwavey truism but that doesn't do anything to explain the actual mechanism at work here.

Because your metadata blocks are sitting in the l2arc, presumably. That's not guaranteed to be the case though. A more modern zfs setup can use that nvme flash as a dedicated device for metadata/"small" blocks, without e

Look I can't change the world. I certainly can't change the practices of trillion dollar companies. I just don't want ads.

I know you are right, but I've tried doing the de-googled Android thing (when I was an Android user even). It sucks, hard. Android is a pretty bad UX platform to begin with, and trying to make it work with free software is just... awfu

lol what. I don't want to see ads. I will pay to not see ads. I earn well and can afford to spend a lot of money on making my life less bad/more good. Due to the way the world is, my phone is one of the most used items I own. I vi

Please no. There is no refuge from the ads. Not for all the money in the world, apparently. This is the worst timeline. Can I pay 2x to get an ad-free iPhone? 3x? Surely there is some point where it makes sense to sell an ad free phone for

I'm the same, as a 30-something. Steam is so much better and Gabe has fostered my undying loyalty. He'd have to shoot my dog to stop me using Steam.

Who could have imagined that taking something to the extreme isn't compatible with a regular human lifestyle. As someone outside the landed gentry, I see having an appropriately sized (small) home as my entry point. Most of my extended

Would be really nice to have these Voice Assistants not be dumber than a pile of rocks. Seems like the article suggests this will be the case in the near future.
