Upvoted for considering getting rid of your car. I finally got rid of mine. It eventually got broken into sitting in the driveway. Multiple times. Then when I finally wanted to drive it for something important, the battery was dead and I go

LinkedIn is on the top of my list of social networks I should quit next. After being on the site for many years, I don't think it helped me find a job or attract recruits.

I used to contribute to the Darcs project, which is written in Haskell. It read like a series of math equations, with frequent single letter variable names. It was concise and elegant in it's own way, but hard to follow in some cases d

They probably wanted it internally to track where their billboards were, and it was easy enough to make it public at that point. I expect other companies also have maps of their billboard locations. DDG is doing business differently by shar

It doesn't have to be that technical. People search for references that connect your username with a real name and possibly a location. If there is only one person with your name in your town, then your home address and likely phone nu

What did you want readers to get out of that link to support your argument that Steve Jobs therapy beliefs were batshit insane? From the link: "It is unknown whether Jobs’ outcomes would have been different if he had pursued surgery at

Having used both recently, I found when some vendors target just one distro to package for, they target Ubuntu because it's more popular, not Debian. I thought "No problem, the .deb format works on both!". But in practice the

This is Ubuntu server plus i3 and some opinionated other package choices. This ends up being fewer overall packages than Ubuntu Desktop plus i3.

Hats off to her. I ran a marathon-distance run each of the last four weekends and all I managed to spell was "O". Good way to escape the news cycle for a few hours!

I see things in this list which require your current location, but it's not clear that any of them require storing your permanent location history. Why is Google storing your location history if they don't need it to offer these s

Last time I checked, Google Pay stores your credit card number in the cloud, which is not necessary. Both Apple Pay and Garmin Pay only store the card in an encrypted form locally. So giving Google my location history so I can also give the
