   There is just nothing good to expect from companies that promotes excessive porn, guns, drugs, gambling, meat, soda, … for money. I am far from religious or straight edge, but the ways of debauchery are nothing new or surprising. There is n

   If I was asked how a Linux distribution and package management should work, I would probably describe something very different to Debian, because of all the bureaucracy involved, yet I have been happily using Debian for everything for more

   I have the exact opposite point of view. 99% of the code is written by inexperienced people and passed on to the next generation that of inexperienced developers. Most development has been, is and will be for the foreseeable future outsour

   This reads as a bit more ambitious than the usual HelloWorld or http framework example project.

   I hope not. My Nikkor 135mm dc is quadrupled in value since I bought it :) DC stands for “defocus control", as distorting the bokeh forward of backward.

   "All it takes is for good men to do nothing". It seems Burke never said that, nor "evil will therefore good must". Nevertheless, I have never experienced a "toxic mob" situation but rather a few bullies with a

   Nothing a Leica rangefinder would have given you if you were not a photo journalist in the late 50s. A "special" keyboard can offer you a lot if you have an itch to scratch. Typing faster, relieving pain, automating sequences, enj

    I have never been interested in the "online community" part of this mk fad but I have been happy to buy off the shelves from hhkb maybe 20 years ago, the Unicom, then EZ/sza. It’s expensive for sure but there are functioning

    The most distasteful thing in this video (and there is a lot) are probably the actual ice creams. I would worry more if the failure rate was going down.

    Beached whales are difficult to manage considering their dimensions ... and they attracting sharks. I was told then that explosives could still be used in some situations, especially if the "beach" was more mud than sand for insta

    I have had the weird experience of dispersing a dead whale, stuck in an urban shore. No explosives allowed, no toeing, no T. rex, no light saber ... and a ticking gas bomb indeed.

    Pretty similar for me. - reading pdf and books - import and watch photos - write notes and draw sketches and plans with the pencil - bring along in the shop I also use it as a laptop sometimes, with an external keyboard. As a linux/vim

    “Nothing worth having comes easy”, right? Not all standards are made like utf8, ie commissioned last minute by a committee, written by two guy over the weekend and adopted by committee the week after. Then used by everyone for decades with

    French call this kind of repetitive, easy to write and not worth reading articles "marronniers" (literally "chestnut tree"), supposedly because some famous tree was worth an annual subject. In case you need to name your

    I use Dvorak on keyboards and qwerty on touch screens. I am pretty happy with both, but it doesn’t matter a lot regarding my eventual wrist or tendinitis pain. What’s is important for me is drinking water sufficiently, regular exercise, a g

    I would like data on this too. I use Dvorak on keyboards and QWERTY on touch screens. I find QWERTY difficult to touch for all the obvious reasons but actually pretty good for 2 to 4 fingers typing on a iPhone / iPad. I have seen peopl

    I can’t remember ants to have ever been an issue in Europe but I clearly remember how terrible they can be in India or Guyana: the biting kind in your bed and hamac, the smallest kind in sugar and flour, the large ones under everything wood

    Evil geniuses at work. I have found that the more screen a coffee machine has, the most unreliable and unsatisfactory the coffee it makes. Now, this just opens a whole new world of possibilities for anger at the coffee machine.

    Yet another rant about a free for use, centralized app/protocol with no business model. Expecting it to achieve world domination for journalists and grandmas alike is just misplaced expectations.

    Junegunn, the fzf author, makes great vim plugins too. Both the user experience and the developer experience (the code of these plugins) feel just right. Fzf is better integrated in vim than in emacs. So I use dmenu on X/wofi on waylan

    Distribution is OK. The main problem is the availability of the approved vaccine doses. AZ vaccine is easy to move around, at near 0°C. As for the flip-flopping, it’s the usual media game. High public expectations, low delivery. What is rea

    I was just being sarcastic I guess. Anyway, I don’t believe in high volume, low value dairy products as sustainable. They aren’t even good products. I am perfectly fine with homemade cheese from the backyard goats.

    I have a rpi 2b with a hifi berry DAC hat too. It works great. It is attached to a timecapsule with 20cm ethernet and usb cables, for data, network and power. Nothing important on the sd card.
