Oh I get it, I originally said “window manager” rather than “window server.” You’re so helpful, thank you!

Yeah I would assume it’s the max length of the column in whatever database they’re storing the hashed password

My guess is that works because the article loads a split second before the paywall and Safari (or whatever) has cached that article for reader view. If NYT wanted to get around this they could load only that first part of the article that s

Terrible. Price gouging has been worsening the last couple of decades. Perhaps the last few centuries, or maybe it comes in waves, like resets when there’s a government revolution. People keep paying though. I’m at my city’s town center and

They’re saying that the tax rate is not like the US where you pay x% on the first $y dollars and so on… but rather you pay x% on your entire income for the year. So if at $100k the tax goes from 15% to 20%, and I get a raise from $99k to $1

I use Firefox now and don’t miss Chrome at all. The ad blocking continues.

I often have issues booting to the installer or first boot after install with an NVidia GPU. Pop_OS, Fedora and OpenSUSE work out of the box. Those are all Wayland I believe. Debian/Ubuntu distros are a bad time. I think they’re still

On that note, why do I have to pay $200 to see a specialist who misdiagnoses me? Any other field, they’d be fired, sued, or at least not get paid for the service.

It’s the same as Airbnb and Uber and Netflix and literally everything else… they throw in hidden fees and play psychology (eg foot in the door technique) to get us to pay more and more without us realizing it. They preach convenience, but u

On a related note, I recently went out of town and received several spam calls from phone numbers in that area. Some app on my phone seems to be selling my location data to these spam callers.

So brass tacks, these articles have been circulating for the last year or so. Microsoft literally put out a study showing the 4-day workweek led to an increase in employee productivity. They aren’t going to just give us a 4-day workweek.

Hah even in tech it’s very common for a 401k match to have a 4-5 year vesting schedule and max out at under 6%. The only people contributing 66k/year to their 401k accounts are Tim Cook and Friends.

Either your mom really enjoys her work (doubtful if she’s a doc in the US- they hospital administration seems to ruin that career), or she’s calculated she needs every penny she can get while she is able to work.

I intend on going the suicide route if my only other option was being such a burden, financial or otherwise, to my next of kin. But you’re right, it’s a common fate for the would-be inheritance. It was around $10k/month for one set of

It’s worth mentioning that the income limit for contributing to a Roth IRA does NOT apply to Roth 401k accounts, which is likely another “incentive to keep working for the man”. Sole proprietorships/startups and their employees are pun

To your point about retirement savings- 401k contributions max out at around $20k per year and generally increase a little bit each year. Currently it’s $22,500. If one were to max out their 401k every year from age 20 to age 55 (35 years)

I had a similar experience with a color picking app called Sip. I bought it years ago, but recently they said I needed to buy it again. I didn’t buy it again.

It’s not sexy but having some bash script or the like copy/pull the gif repo every x minutes and then putting it in another directory linked to say a GitLab repo you control might work?

Firefox has an extension (developed by Mozilla I believe) that allows you to have multiple tabs open of the same website but logged into different accounts. This was handy when I had to sign in to different Azure accounts every day at my ol

No, not yet. 4K is still relatively niche as well.

The same can be said for Safari. It doesn't surprise me that YouTube has inferior support on browsers other than Chrome/Chromium base. Likewise there are features in Safari that are exclusive to Safari.

I switched to Firefox when Chrome started blocking/disabling ad blocker extensions. I would rather use Internet Explorer with an ad blocker than Chrome without an ad blocker. I'm really not sure what more one could want from a bro

I hope they advocate for decentralization. AWS and Azure have centralized the Internet even more than it already was by 2010. Companies like Reddit and "X" and Meta are ruining the Internet. All of my Reddit accounts have been per

People seem to more or less recognize why utilities like electricity and water should be regulated and government-run/non-profit, but why doesn’t that same attitude apply to housing? Housing is at least/more important than access
