This is something I keep trying to point out to people. That doesn't mean that Linus is any kind of role model in this way - but people point to open-source interactions as especially "toxic" while ignoring (or being ignorant

FWIW I think they're comparable, but just very different. Johnette Napolitano's voice is fantastic, and she really gets to stretch out on "Everybody Knows". As good as the recorded version is, hearing Concrete Blonde do

I'd start with The Future (1992), I'm Your Man (1988), and Ten New Songs (2001). Those are, IMO, his most accessible and there's a very good chance you already know a few of those songs and haven't realized you kno

That's overly simplistic, in this case. You're not going to sell more buggies by making the quality of your buggy worse, true. But you're _also_ not going to sell more buggies, period, if everybody is preferring cars. Likewis

I feel like the author either has an enormous blind spot or is intentionally failing to observe the fact that magazines exist in a completely different landscape today than they did even a decade ago, much less nearly 100 years ago (in the

I'd like to understand whether Gitea really merged a version of that code , or if they had a separate implementation that's in the enterprise version. If they've merged that code but refuse to make it available in the comm

Wolves can eat 20lbs of meat in one meal. They’re hunters that eat their fill when food is present because there’s no guarantee they’ll catch prey later. Not really a reasonable comparison to a domesticated animal that’s not designed for fe

Hello, I am "no one". I am just fine with their feature set. The only question is whether my friends sign up and are active there. I miss pre-Musk Twitter and sharing text things via Twitter, links to stories and such. I've

What is the split between ad revenue vs. subscriber revenue? When I used Spotify I was a subscriber so they got one flat fee from me per month that didn't increase no matter how many times I played a song.

Looking at the figures, this means that a band would need to have more than 120,000 plays daily to earn the equivalent of $15 an hour for a 40-hour week. (If my back-of-the-napkin math is correct based on the article saying that 661,400 pla

We knew. This was a dumb move on IA's part. I support the organization wholeheartedly, but it was a dumb and risky move. (They may be morally correct, but there was little if any doubt that they'd overstepped the legal bounds.)

Elon's path may not be the best path to popularity. If Zuck wants popularity, maybe a good way to go about that would be to de-shittify Facebook, Instagram, and so forth so that those platforms respect their users.

For GNOME, the Tiling Shell extension works well for me. I've also used, and liked, gTile. Of course, with an extension there's always the danger that it will break between releases and/or the developer will get bored and sto

"It needs to be funded by the readers. But the readers are reluctant to pay for this (as TFA says). It's a conundrum, but we need to sort it out soon." Readers often say they want one type of coverage but actually consume

Ideally, you'd have both. Gimme a transcript of an interview but a well-written article in front of it with additional context and a better narrative. A lot of detail readers might want makes for shitty interview questions and/or

This is one of the reasons people should hold the line for open source licensing for any infrastructure software: Any licensing scheme that forces a relationship with a single entity / doesn't allow for forking is open to abuse of

"they would not have lost Mac as a business customer if they continued to innovate" I'm not entirely sure this is true. I mean, I guess it depends on whether one expected Intel to be able to make not just a decent chip for PC

Is that it? That just reads to me like a project that’s tired of getting bug reports from people on old versions of software.

Simplest may not be best here. Is Harris the person who is most likely to get people to the polls and vote Dem? Is she someone who can convert independent/undecided voters? etc. IMO those are not easy "yes, absolutely" answer

I'm trying this out on Linux but for the life of me I can't get the split window stuff to work. The Flatpak for some reason wouldn't even open files - but the Debian package seems to work fine.

Terse minutes are pretty common across the board (um, no pun intended there). Unless the meeting happens in a chat fora, it's usually a very brief summary. Doubly so when it's a personnel matter because the less said the better.

I'm going to posit that unless you've used GNOME, KDE, etc. on more than one distribution, it's potentially unfair to judge the DE based on that singular experience. I've had very different experiences with various deskt

He was a class act, I really enjoyed his shows and stand up. Seemed like a kind person. A real legend, I’m sorry to see he’s gone, even though he had a really good run. If I make it to 94, I’ll consider that good.

That thing was a beast. I used it for a few years, then handed it down to my dad’s new wife - she was a big reader, and used it for almost a decade until it gave up the ghost.

It may be a fight worth having, but that wasn’t the way to fight it. There was zero chance this was going to end with a favorable court decision. It only carried risk for the organization - no upside at all.
