I'm NOT a developer. I'm actually in tech support. I can write scripts, identify bugs in code, and am up to date on cloud and k8s, but mostly I don't write code, I debug systems, write up bug tickets, and deal with customer i

Well, 1) He publicly claimed it was his final terms, but there is no reason a board should not at least try to use any leverage they have to try to interrogate that claim. 2) The valuation is not the only thing the board and Musk need to a

The only thing I can think of that NFTs could potentially add to Amiibos would be part of a form of DRM. The amiibo data is trivially piratable onto NFC cards, and there is a cottage industry of custom amiibo cards. Still though, if you pir

Indie developers typically want to design, well, their own game. Their own vision, art, music, mechanics working in concert. I don't think anyone is dreaming of creating a showroom for a bunch of random other assets out there in the

Spotify may have deemphasized shuffling in albums, but they now force you to queue completely random algorithmically chosen songs with albums if you use the "Spotify Connect" feature to remotely control another endpoint. So -- use

Sway itself may not use dbus, I think that's right, but a desktop workflow built around sway for day-to-day use will typically utilize DBus for e.g., pipewire, a notification daemon, xdg-desktop-portal (screen sharing) at the least. Bu

The only expenses that could have gone down are commuting costs, and I suppose new 'work' clothing. As someone who lives within walking distance of my office and rarely buys new clothing, I'm in the negative just without free

I wish discussions of networth at these scales were more nuanced. If the stock of your company goes up 50% or whatever, but you can't exactly sell more than x% without tanking it or losing control of the company, it's just so much

I don't think anybody has masks to wear even if they'd like to. I certainly don't. The US surgeon general was also adamantly advising people not to buy masks over the past month. At this point, any and all masks are being red

A number of low power radio stations came online after the 2013 application window with the FCC. These are hyper local and often very diverse and essentially equivalent to word of mouth. My city has more than one, they cover the city limits

This does not cause ambiguity to anyone. Its a distinction in search of a non-existent problem. The dictionary will change to follow our usage on this one, and we will lose nothing. Compound words become closed all the time.
