I use positive framing instead of negative framing for most things and get good results. Especially where asking for a thing to not happen, pollutes the context with that thing. A bad example, but imagine "Build me a wrapper for this A

Hey fair criticism, I am not in the typical tech circle but I am not surrounded by artists making money either. Maybe a better way to phrase my point would be "(companies) pay for output, not artistry" which is to say you can remo

I switched from dual monitor to single monitors with a tiling window manager. Same reason, I "flip" context far less and am less distracted. Even though there can be multiple programs on my screen at once, they are all relevant to

People are not born without rights, it takes a society or group to take them away. Who do you think opresses women and those in minority groups? Societies didn't evolve to be enlightened, they evolved into discriminatory systems. Those

"All phenomena involved in the functional operation of the social mechanism are measurable" From the article, reminded me that the complexities and nuance of life at the ground level really are lost on some. Even if you genuinely

I am on the side of humanity here, but people don't pay for art. People pay for status, consumption, image and authenticity. But commercial art consumers, where most artists make a living, ie ad agencies, game studios etc, they actuall

Depends on what linking credentials you may have registered with. If they have a data leak, those details will be linked to your address in that way. Seems pretty unlikely even with a data leak, that someone would go through the effort, but

If I am reading the room right, I think Wine/Proton/Steam making gaming almost effortless on linux has been the big swing. It was not like this 5 years ago. I have been a linux user for work for a decade, but still ran Windows for

I haven't used GIMP in a while but I had great experience with Krita, even with my display tablet it all "just worked".

Such a scummy UX pattern, a long with the "not right now" or "maybe later" stuff. The argument I have heard is that a user might forget they disabled the feature, but perhaps they actually wanted it. Apparently we'r

I wrote my own CMS, as the core WordPress functionality wasn't too much to replicate. But eventually the WordPress ecosystem was too strong, and the real value proposition was plugins and familiarity. That continues to be true to this

I recently had the insane experience of filling out 15 consecutive captchas, after, I had checked out and entered my payment information into the payment processor widget. I just wanted to submit the order. I was logged in to their website,

Yep, the continued moving of the goalposts for how much internet integration is required was really why I bailed on it. That is putting it kindly mind you, it has become increasingly user hostile software. Distrusting you, the owner of the

At some point we end up defending the freedom for corporations to exploit people though. I think addiction is one of those times. If a company has a product that relies on addiction mechanisms to succeed, that is a different situation, that

Just a quip that all technology companies seem to eventually include sending data back to a Californian company or startup, usually for the purposes of hosting, advertising or profiling.

Nice one! I can access it now. Really awesome project, it runs well on my old android phone, the fact that I can use a tool like this on my phone is pretty wild, you have done well with the UI in that regard. The oscilloscope is a really ni

When I try to visit velxio.dev, a CrowdSec page shows up and says I am not allowed to view it. I am a pretty normal android user on firefox mobile, so that is surprising. I look forward to trying this out though, great project!

Uber needs to prove that they are growing though to validate their stock value, one of the tricks used to be increasing headcount to show growth. But other tricks include new ventures, essentially public companies and VC companies have an a

As well, your point of view and it would seem the general default assumption in articles like this, is that people have families. We are in an unprecedented time of lonliness, there will be many people who if they lose their job they will h

The tax base shrinks but does company revenue shrink? History so far says no, so perhaps that's where we can look for the tax dollars.

Software is just another job in many countries, making pretty normal middle class wages. Job loss will hit us the same as any other middle class worker.

EndeavourOS works really well in this regard. It also smoothes out working with Arch without being too opinionated. It was a GUI install, defaults to KDE Plasma, auto installs and manages the graphics drivers. Very smooth, better than Windo

I am afraid that will be up to individuals, the business you work for likely hasn't got much incentive to let you capture the new value. You'll either need to freelance, or start a company (or maybe a co-op) to capture the new val

I guess you could argue that there should be cheaper software, but most software people interact with is free/ad supported. Where it is paid, it's already a race to to the bottom. Basically consumers don't really pay for soft

I would recommend checking out your local laws on export of software with military applications. I believe this would be illegal to release in my country (whether that's the right thing is worth discussing, but protect yourself first).
