You’re speaking pretty definitely too. Got any citations to back up your claims?

Worse in some ways, but understandable an others. If Company X didn’t reinvigorate their product line then consumers might switch to Company Ys products because they look shiny and new. Which is literally why people switched from BlackBerry

You’re talking about very specific rearrangements of controls. Whereas I was talking about why these big redesign initiatives get green lit to begin with.

Is it actually though? It’s cool to criticise Nautilus but, at worst, it’s just equally as bad as Finder. Which shouldn’t be surprising given how much it’s styled to look like Finder. However in my personal opinion Nautilus’s breadcrumb pic

Because it’s a low bitrate micky mouse toy. MS Teams might have its issues (and let’s be clear, i agree there are a great many issues) but it has most, if not all, of the Enterprise features you need from a video conferencing suite. Whereas

I’ve said many times before that I think Finder is the worst default file manager of any popular desktop environment. I get it’s supposed to be easy to use but so much functionality is hidden behind non-obvious shortcuts. The end result is

I think you have cause and effect the wrong way around. These changes in design are intended to appeal to our magpie brain of wanting the latest, shiniest, things. You have to understand the vanity of consumers. If every new product looked

If I understand your dates correctly, Aug 2001 to Oct 2001, that’s only 3 months. Which is far short of the time you’d expect an artist to need to start a movie project entire from scratch if it weren’t already part of the concept of the al

I hate Microsoft with the passion of a thousand burning stars, yet even I still think Google products have worse UX than their Microsoft counterparts. MS Teams is definitely terrible. But I’d take that over Google Meets. Google Docs isn’t e

Which BSD ships GNU Coreutils? Every occasion I’ve seen GNU coreutils installed on BSD, it’s been outside of the base and thus installed outside of /bin. Eg /usr/local or /opt/homebrew

I can’t speak for where you’re based, but in the UK the music videos for the singles were aired when the singles were charting and before the albums commercial release. There is no way the anime and the movie wasn’t part of the original alb

It’s not a fallacy to call that a coincidence. The point of coincidences are that they’re unconnected events. So, perhaps ironically, it would be more of a fallacy to say this wasn’t a coincidence. However you are right that coincidences ar

The issue isn’t jq’s syntax. It’s that I already use other tools that fill that niche and have done since as long as jq has been a thing. And frankly, I personally believe the other tools are superior so I don’t want to fallback to jq just

Are you sure about that? The music video was the scenes from the movie. The impression I got as a Daft Punk fan in the 90s was that the movie was commissioned alongside the production of the album and not an afterthought. The album was rele

You have it backwards, it’s not trying to catch my children doing bad things (though there is that benefit too). it’s more about ensuring that other people are not doing, or trying to do, bad things to my children. I trust my own children b

A better way to frame this is supervised vs unsupervised access. And it depends on their age. At 11 I wouldnt expect them to have unsupervised internet access. At 16 I might, but by the time they’re 16 I wouldn’t need to monitor their onlin

Of course they do. You should be open and honest. For us, it’s a system that’s worked well. So well, in fact, that our kids have felt comfortable coming to us when they see something concerning in a group chat rather than waiting for us to

16 is too late. You can’t teach your kids good maturity with communication devices through abstinence. You just have to watch what they do online. Which means reading their WhatsApp et al messages after they’ve gone to bed. Yes there will b

I really want to sympathise with the author but this feels more like a one-sided rant piece than a constructive article. For example, in one paragraph they complain that “I don’t want my son to get online” then literally the following parag

If your walking stick looks like it will be used as a weapon then you can safely assume you’ll have it removed upon entry. Events like these will have disclaimers like “admittance is subject to the discretion of our security staff”. The poi

I doubt That would make any different unless Adafruit is opening a pop up stall inside the Inauguration party. These “bans” are actually just a list of prohibited items at a very specific event. Umbrellas are also on the list.

They’re not banned by the government. They’re just not allowed at the NYC Mayors inauguration party.
