Can we get a shout out to all the projects that are just barebones 90s style HTML? Fast loading, clean design, right to the point. Contrast that with say, Parrot Security: https://www.parrotsec.org/ Now, the design itself i

I've been flown out to SF for "remote" role interviews -- I thought it was common that even if the role is remote, you interview on site and might fly out for a brief training, receive your equipment, fill out HR paperwork et

No offense, but maybe they're narcan-ing you because you because you're nodding out in public? I am not doubting you have been fucked with -- I once got into a 2v1 brawl on the Mission and 16th BART that only ended because I sent

More OS projects need to be willing to stop adding features and just focus on the occasional bugfix or security update. Look at say GIMP. They have no market force demanding they add features every year in the way Adobe does. And while it&#
