I rooted for Uber to smash the Taxi cartels. Let us not forget that Taxi Cartels were also insidious beasts. Taxi drivers abused their walled garden with their price gouging by taking longer routes, refusal to take a credit card, and extrem

Zoom is one app that gets significantly worse with each iteration. The last year has shuffled icons around in the mobile app and now introduced some horrible application launcher into the desktop app for meetings. I know they want to avoid

That’s very cool. I hope you consider open sourcing it so others can contribute.

Cloudflare continues to add capabilities to their free tier to attract users. Meanwhile, Netlify just ejected all of the free plan users who work off GitHub.

Switching every individual and organization I can to Brave in the buildup to Manifest V3 launching. Encouraging 3rd party patching tools to adopt it or the organizations I work with will leave them as a client. Chocolatey already supports B

Libel and defamation are forms of disinformation and have long been held to have civil repercussions. This case against Alex Jones is an extension of that IMHO.

Anyone who pays out of their own pocket to launch anything on a newly introduced google product moving forward is an idiot. Google is going to need to dig deep into their wallets to build an ecosystem in any new market in the future. Then a

Just in time for Netlify to discontinue support for private GitHub repositories for free plans. Good thing cloudflare still has free Cloudflare pages support for private GitHub pages.

Government procurement is a broken process today. The railroad companies were reimbursed once the track was set down. We need that for modern projects. Then competent people will get the job done and get paid.

Google has become the baddies. I assume this is just them abusing their power to hurt companies that their customers (advertisers) complain about.

I know of zero technical and happy oracle customers. They seem to exist largely because of non technical folks forcing it into an organization due to their incredible sales teams or they have legacy usage from back when they were innovative

The taxes can also be due when you receive your options. That can depend on if you purchase your options or if they are granted to you and entitle you to a discount. YMMV but an NQSO purchase agreement can be your friend.

I tried this recently on an M1 powered Mac. I was blown away with how well it handled playback and upscaling. Gives me hope for the future of these old games as disc rot takes over.
