I'm not saying it's not bad in the USA (because it is) but if you think there's no corruption or bribing in EU politics then I don't know what to say.

Every time they try and do this, it fails. The math is very much against you with converting energy this way and obviously they haven't solved that. This seems to be a huge investment to make just to try and market the same technology

If future jobs are simply reduced to liability scape goats (or more appropriately reverse centaurs) for management to pin things on then I'm taking up goose farming.

I hope you're right, but forgive me if I don't party yet. I thought the same thing two years ago.

Lol, I'm very curious what's in that pipe. It must be some exceedingly hallucinagenic stuff.

Ah, if true, than I misunderstood and agree. That didn't sound like what the person I replied to was saying though. It's hard to leave Gerrit after using it.

Different strokes for different teams. Team size, project size, monolithic or not, etc. can all influence this. I'll say from personal experience that Gerrit helped my team a lot, if for no other reason than enforcing a "one commi

Help me understand why I care about reviewing the fifteen commits my junior developer did while figuring out how to make a SQL query, and not just the final line of code? Typically, all I really care about is what's actually going into

In the old days, we just sent the content and let the client figure out what to do with it. If you navigated to homestarrunner.com and you didn't have flash installed, you just got a message saying to install it, or worst case, a broke

I'm not sure I understand Simulacra. I get the idea, just spam devices around the area in hopes you're lost in the crowd. But anything designed to track you is purpose built to handle tons of devices moving about. Maybe if every

Why would I want to move to an objectively more subjugated place? Besides that, you say to just pick up and leave as if it were that easy. And I suppose if I followed your advice, it could be. Get a divorce, not care about the kids (sorry

I'm just not sure what to do. What the US is turning into is incredibly sad and I wish I could leave.

If this is successful, I can see this trickling down to the lower end phones in the following years. If for no other reason than keeping their hardware as similar as possible.

If I'm picturing what you're explaining correctly, I think this would be difficult. Suddenly accelerating the arm from zero to hundreds of mph would put immense stress on the arm, not to mention whatever you're planning on us

I'm not saying they're related, but they also make and sell wireless headphones...

Considering the big players with R&D budgets valued in the billions have been struggling to make foldable phones, I can't imagine a niche player making one.

Yeah, but only the Fairphone 4 (which is very dated at this point), and only from Murena which is a can of worms in itself. Support also ranges from non-existent to atrocious. Directly buying from FP is a huge deal for me.

> the needs will continue to grow beyond what the simple solution offers. If they do, then migrate to a provider that offers what you need at that time. It's not like adding a new remote is hard.

This was eerie to read. I was very much Alan, only I reported to duty Monday morning because I thought, or rather knew, that's what was expected of me from my parents and from society. This definitely gave me "road not taken"

My first real taste of programming came from trying to hack on gorilla.bas to add new features to it. Whoever created that game changed my life immeasurably.

Doubt all you like. Customer support is a huge O&M cost to these companies and they will do nearly anything to reduce calls. I know they track why people are calling, or at least my place does. Half of my career has been spent writing s

Thanks for writing all that! Of course I knew that the Librem5 existed, but at the time I was thrown off by the price and the smell of "impending shitstorm" the device reeked of. Afterwards, I was too deep into the Pine side of th

> I don't think the feelings are so much towards the companies themselves. I respectfully disagree. Pine's MO was basically "create hardware and hope people create software for it". A bit tongue in cheek, but that&#x2
