This is interesting and very true. It reminds me of people who are excellent at something but their life gets held back by alcohol/drugs or bad relationships or some other _low minimum_. That first sentence is really profound in my op

I've been using linux on my home machine for several years and it's been fantastic. I first installed linux in the mid 90's though so maybe I'm just familiar with it. I did use Mac OSx and Windows as my primary desktop

I've been using this app also. Works very well with linux. Haven't had any issues except when I updated my system and didn't rebuild the kernel modules. Haven't sprung for the paid version though as I am hoping the back

I was using duolingo recently for Spanish. Unfortunately, I got dropped into the "hearts" A/B test and it destroyed my experience. Basically you get four hearts every few hours. Every mistake takes away a heart. If you lose

A terrible analogy too! If it's their policy to not refund software purchases they should have a standard response to these requests.

I don't ask this in an argumentative way. Honestly curious... Is there a technical reason you would oppose this?

My biggest issue with onenote is that you can no longer use local notebooks with the new versions. I'm stuck on onenote 2016 or all my local notebooks become read only. One drive is blocked at work so onenote is effectively useless to

I use this "feature". But generally I use the same number for all items because it is a pain to have to renumber everything. maybe the solution is to renumber if a list uses all 1's, but leave it untouched if it has different

I don't know. I think it's a valid point. I speak Spanish poorly. If I were running a company and creating a website or marketing materials I'd hire someone fluent in the target language to proof my material. And, as stated

I used Vivaldi for a long time and never encountered many UI bugs. About a year ago I switched to Firefox mainly because I don't want Chromium to take over the world. What I miss most using Firefox is the ability to customize almost ev

In my area (in the 80s/90s I think) we had to pay extra for touch tone service. Anyone know if there was a technical reason for that originally? A quick search shows that apparently these charges were still around until recently. Mayb

They could create a new company to keep track of who is watching what so each content creator gets paid accordingly. And it would be one company to pay for the per view option you describe. I could see this growing to 100s of different con

Exactly. For a while Amazon was the first place I'd look to shop online. They had legit stuff and it was super convenient. The last year, maybe two, it's become such an unpleasant experience that Amazon has become a last resort.
