Here's what i learned: the person buying software/services at many enterprises cares very little whether the thing being purchased is actually any good or not. They either pick based on some brand awareness (who doesn't know

Hi @crmd For that tech industry-famous CEO, did the company that they used to run continue/preserve even a little bit of that good and common-sense approach? Because if so, then I'd love to know the name of the firm...so that i c

This is truly marvelous! Not only is the horizontal scroll really extra awesome for making me feel the distances...but as others stated, the moment you toggle on the light speed....wow, it really is quite profound! Amazingly done!

I highly commend you, your boss, and any others who stood up or otherwise rebelled against the despicable Sony leaders who wanted this to be done. I can only imagine that it would not have been easy. My appreciation goes out to you, your bo

I remember the Sony rootkits...Since then and to this day, i avoid buying anything related to Sony as best i can. Funny thing is, folks who know me know that i am not the kind of person who holds a grudge....but something about that rootkit

Ah-ha, good to know....though my partner would have zero interest...and i careless about the UI/UX...but still is good to know especially for folks who *do* prefer a Ui/UX more similar to MS Word, etc. Thanks for sharing! :-)

I agree that the UI/UX of libreofice is not the prettiest...but its fine for what i need it for: regular work-related document management, word processing sorts of tasks. But my partner? They LOVE libreoffice specifically BECAUSE its

It takes me between 1 ~ 2 months, for me to have a very good feeling...then the next handful of months to validate those feelings. In my 30 year work history, i have had only 1 job where i got it wrong..and EVERY single other job through my

I'm not an expert on disaster recovery, but have to think of it for $day_job on occasion. The way i think about it is something along the lines of when (not if), disaster strikes, what needs to be saved vs what can wait a while to have

True...but there are alternative approaches...such as maybe register a couple (not alot) of alternative, different domains. I think the trick is to keep the number of alternative domains low enough that it wont break the bank, but still giv

While I am happy for areas of competition - since they lead to choice - I also like it when there are partnerships....Nextcloud either acquired or partners with RoundCube, and separately also partners with collabora for the Office suite off

I think its a few reasons/things here...(some already noted in some way by others) * Trump does not care or maybe lacks the understanding of the concept of a network and influence with entities outside the U.s. * Trump probably figures

Interesting! Both my partner and i felt that Leonardo DiCaprio (while we consider him a pretty good actor in general) didn't quite fit that "timeless" label for the Gatsby role....while we felt that both Carey Mulligan and To

This is interesting...when my partner and i watch films portraying an older, historic period, we use the term "timeless" or "classic-looking" to refer to some actors who mostly due to their appearance (and maybe a little

When i started dabbling in python back in the day, and when i had a need for cgi-bin sort of functionality (for simple web front-end), i think it was the sunsetting of popularity of python cgi, and more of the rise of WSGI...so there was le

How interesting! I'm excited by all the energy lately that i've seen around more text-based fun stuff, from Gemini to tilde communities to more TUIs/TUI apps, to this ssh powered set of services! Keep 'em coming!

I have a feeling that ever since late January 2025 in the U.S., oversight and regulatory overview might be more lax than in the past, and there will less of those "pesky" fines and criminal investigations...which begs the question

What you're referring to @j2kun is named a *social reader*. See: https://indieweb.org/social_reader I'm sure there other examples of software/clients besides those portrayed on indieweb.org too.
