Linux audio has been great IME. I’ve never had any of the weird problems I have using the Windows audio stack.

I can’t say much about the KDE experience on Debian, but Debian with Gnome was my daily driver for many years and I didn’t have much trouble with it. I’m on more exotic distros as of late, but if something happens, I always have Debian to f

Windows is free as in beer until it decides arbitrarily that you can’t output audio from certain applications on certain sound devices. Or how about arbitrarily deciding that the volume output on my headset should be 90% lower? Please go th

How many people are doing that? But as to your question, wasn’t the original high-performance version of Da Vinci Resolve only available on Linux?

I'm really curious to know what the typical percentage of sales come from BNPLs, if even in a specific industry. I also did my own quick research to find out how e.g. Klarna made money and was surprised at how much higher the cut is th

Well, you can leave out the year, but then you will be asking why it says today is Sunday and not Thursday.

And try as you might to get people to switch, the majority will inevitably revert back to iMessage. I really hope Apple is forced to interoperate with RCS and to make all the bubbles blue.

I thought like this until I started missing posts from blogs I liked. I remembered why RSS feeds are useful and got back into it after a friend recommended a reader he uses. I also picked up a good habit from him: subscribing to releases&#x

It does, but, as a colloquialism, it’s reaching a disassociation from its original meaning and is now used to describe “asocial” behavior. You will often see shutins called neets (and I think this colloquial case change further disconnects

I know this is gross to talk about, but I'd also add "incontinence blankets" to this list. Specifically for being locked in traffic for this long. There are reusable incontinence blankets you can get. This way you have someth

I want to know about it too. I got the flu vaccine in ~2016 and the next day experienced heartburn like I had never experienced before. I had to lay down the rest of the day. I had and have never experienced heartburn like that since. I pro

A remembering problem exists with the main TLDs though. Alice's Home Cleaning Service needs a website, but the one she wants is taken, so she starts doing weird things with the domain: alicehomecleaning.com alice-homecleaning.com alice

And a lot of the .com domain space is polluted either with people sitting on domains and wanting to sell them for thousands or just leaving it unregisterable. So you have this choice of either creating a really long .com, or a shorter .othe

I have to disagree. I mean, yes, the money-grabbing scheme is probably true, but I don't agree with the part about them being bad taste or too long. I will probably lose at most one hour of my total life having to spend extra time typi

Sorry, but *looks at my nails* .com is a boomer TLD, it's passé. Do you really want a domain from last century? Or do you want an exotic .asia? A cool .club? A forward looking .future? Or even joining the ranks of the celebrity media w

There is one weird bug with MusicBrainz Picard I see every so often. When I try to add album art, sometimes it doesn’t apply to all the files. Sometimes it takes several tries to get every file to have the album art on my MP3 player. If any

If I see my bestie in a Tessie, I will be happy for them, but much like you I'm OK with a more conservative choice until something like the Tesla EV's becomes the conservative choice.

I wish I could get people on XMPP, but I just accepted that, to communicate with my family, I need to use iMessage. I've had businesses try to get us to use their closed source communication thing and it just didn't work. Logging

A funny thing (not haha funny) I noticed about this article is that it mentions the demographics of the people being hit by the car, but just makes the "hyper-masculine" assumption about the drivers of the cars. You kind of do t

I don’t get it. I was waiting for you to say “in favor of…” but you never got to that part. Let email die in favor of what? What is the viable alternative? Not a single messaging app I’ve used comes close to email. And I can’t use one messa

The LastPass extension can be told to remember your master password. They say it's not recommended. We might be seeing the result of people opting to store their master password and something that exploits this.

I'm not here to defend LastPass, but there are some rational answers to the questions you're asking, a lot of them having to do with human psychology. First thing's first, and yes I am "victim blaming" when I say th
