Does FF still not use KDE’s native file picker without installing a (not readily available) package to modify it? I stopped trying to use FF on Linux a long time ago, but seeing a headline with Linux in it made me perk up.

Random aside, but when Chris Paul first joined the Suns, he was actually a good fit in my opinion and as evidenced by their success. It was his age and injuries that eventually made him a bad fit (roster age, timelines, etc). I found that r

Why did HR lead with it being performance based? It makes no sense given that this is very clearly part of a layoff. And especially so since they had no details. All they did was set themselves up for a very bad conversation with anyone who

We recently went through our first car purchase in over 5 years. Even when you choose a cheaper EV (so worse in non-range aspects) or even compare used, the math still doesn’t work out. EV + rentals for trips costs more over a 5-10 year spa

Didn’t detect that I was on a VPN. From the sounds of the other comments, this is quite unreliable? Without any sort of write-up, the submission seems pretty uninteresting and the discussion will probably be not worth reading.

Hmm when I think about it, the only two in that list I’ve used are just and only. Whenever I see myself writing them in my response, I spend the 5-10 min to throw together the PR to do it. It’ll lack testing but I deploy it to a QA server a

WiFi is a nice feature, but instead of buying a new printer, I setup a CUPS server on old raspberry pis and turned both my and my parents’ printers into WiFi capable ones. Now our 5+ and 15+ year old printers are just as good as any new one

I tried looking and comparing deals on budget battery powered lawn tools (mower, string trimmer). Greenworks looked to be the most affordable but there was just so many different models that the choice overload made me give up. I didn’t wan

Same. I’m still waiting (8+ years now) for their *promised* “better” replacement for subscription collections.[1] Until that day comes (along with all the other features that I used to use but have since been removed (not replaced)), I will

Probably not, but more and more I’ve been reminded that the law only applies if you have the financial means to prove/defend your position in court.

This kind of screenshot/recording software always made me curious what the security practices are around the recorded data. If you are doing any sort of DevOps, chances are you will, at some point, have a secret key visible on the scre

It was both, but they bootlooped for different reasons. Nexus 5 had a faulty power button that could fail in a couple of ways. Nexus 5X was something about how the components on the PCB were constructed being of iffy quality. You could get

Dropping this on a Friday with a fireside chat happening in the afternoon on the same day leaves a bad impression. A blog post announcement is ok, but my reading of this is that there is no guarantee that they will not attempt a retroactive

Hard disagree (edit for clarity - on it being "just" ending a subscription service). Presumably, the benefit of such a bundling service is that the cost of the subscription + upgrade path is more beneficial than the separate cost

How do other registrars compare with Namecheap? I've been using them for a long time and haven't had any problems with their services, so I stopped keeping track of how the industry has evolved.

As an American, living abroad was one of the biggest eye opening experiences to seeing how messed up our law enforcement system is here. I don’t think it’s as much desensitization (which is part of it) as portraying law enforcement as “can

Yup, I saw that offer with my auto-insurance provider and despite knowing how much data they’d be harvesting, I was still tempted to do it. Insurance just costs so much. It doesn’t matter if you have a perfect driving record for almost 2 de
