Stallman hasn’t really made any shocking revelations really. He just calls everything malware and most of it ends up being malware.

What cloud service are you putting your images on? I would be shocked if google photos hasn’t already been doing this.

American suburbs are largely a Ponzi scheme. They start out with loads of funding to build out all of the infrastructure and then in 20 years they can not afford to replace it all so they are funded by building another suburb. Eventually mo

I’m not sure why a freak accident should be used as an example of anything. If anything it stands to show how insanely problem free modern buildings are if one building falling down is shocking news globally and known as one of the worst no

You can reset your costs by renting out the car park. I make $50 AUD/week renting out my city car park to someone who works near by.

That seems to be the norm in Australia. When a building gets approved, the developer puts all the apartments up for sale before it gets built. Of course most of them get sold to landlords but it’s not one company that owns the whole buildin

You can kind of have it if you mean walkable to just the general store, a cafe and a few other things but you can never have everything because many kinds of stores can only exist with a certain population close enough. What I love about li

I recently moved from a house in the suburbs in Australia to an apartment in the city. Got rid of my car and now I just walk to everything I need. I couldn’t be happier. Driving was such a huge stress on my life that is now gone. I can get

Im guessing there is some kind of performance issue here. Where large or certain kinds of archives can have huge unzip times. Or especially that it is hard to determine the unzip time before unzipping. Google drive drops a lot of features t

Under 13 seems like an ok cutoff but I’d be very concerned that they push it to under 18. Pretty much everyone is sharing adult context responsibly at 17.

Firefox can’t win really. They do anything and half the users complain and half the users state it made the browser finally usable. While google does whatever they want and people just nod and move along.

That’s why my suggestion is to offer them the choice to willingly use a shelter or go to jail. Homelessness and drug abuse can not be allowed to exist to keep public spaces safe.

IMO the city should provide enough homeless shelters for everyone and then just make homelessness illegal. So if you are found sleeping in a tent you get referred to the nearest shelter and if you refuse you get arrested. We can not allow h

A candle stick has 100x the energy of a stick of TNT. I know which one I would rather be driving a truck full of. Energy density is not the main danger factor.

Because c for create makes perfect sense while b does not make sense on a command which only works on branches.

I have just come to accept this is how it is and unless you are a wiki power user who can just directly create a page, don’t bother and let someone else create it because you are wasting your time. I find it funny that articles like the one

Editing an existing page is usually pretty easy and conflict free. Creating a new page is close to impossible and strictly guarded. It’s almost not worth trying for a beginner because you will almost certainly be rejected. The moderators re

There have been some trials of cameras that detect phone usage. They ran one just as an experiment in Australia and found on one road in one day they found hundreds of phone users driving. I haven’t heard of any of them being put in place f

They shouldn’t be travelling that far at all. They should be within a walkable distance of where they need to go. Walking to work is never stressful and often does reverse.

Teams can do this. Create a calendar event or manually set yourself to busy and you will not receive notifications and people can see this. There is also a button on the sender side to mark the message as important to notify anyway.

by foxpurple 5y ago
I solved this by creating calendar events for just myself. I’ll book an hour of dedicated programming time and then after that I’ll respond to all of my messages. Or if I don’t need to be hyper focused on a task I’ll bounce around and respo

My company has gone to mixed but everyone naturally picks the same days Monday to Wednesday typically at home and Thursday/Friday everyone is in. This avoids all the issues of mixed.

They clearly aren’t that bad. China has very dense cities and has not had much issue controlling spread. Masks and a respectful society seem to be highly effective at stoping viruses.

I would suggest that Friday makes a good time for the mandatory day. Means people can go out for drinks at the end of the day. The in office days will never be as productive but they can be good socialising times so you may as well make use

These days every single drive should have full disk encryption. And then you can format by simply securely wiping the key part.

iOS has 2 solutions to this. They have a push models where you “share” the file to the next app you want to use. And they also have a traditional file store model where all apps can request to save and request to load files. Critically, app
