It is, and people seem to ascribe some implicit goodness to these companies because they’re seen as providing an alternative to an implicitly evil industry and degenerate dietary choice. Truth is, they’re running the same game, just with a

I’d rather eat an actual egg than some hyper processed, plant based “alternative”.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this, but I’ve gotta say, first glance it just seems like it does way too much, and all by a solo dev in private? Impressive but also perturbing.

Yep. This is the way I’ve ended up handling it. I believe it has been established now that these interruptions in flow (context switching) have a cost in terms of time taken to refocus on a task. Minutes vs the few seconds it took to have t

You’re not helping people by neglecting to point out errant use of messaging platforms. It harms productivity and is something that a manager should be treating. You don’t need to be “hard” about it, but not guiding people is arguably more

Surely it’s more efficient (for both parties) to type and be able to read the whole thing and then respond meaningfully? E.g. If you’ve just say “hi”, two hours later I get to my DMs and say “hey what’s up?” and you end up not following up

Atomic distros (fedora’s specifically) are what got me to stick to desktop Linux. That was after seeing how well the Steam Deck worked, and therefore Proton. I haven’t reinstalled in almost 2 years. Not even got the distro itch once.

Tailscale is more than just a VPN. It has a number of features and capabilities which make it more like a private overlay network that just seems to work wherever and whenever. Some of those features; WireGuard (the VPN bit), NAT punching,

Well, better keep a hold of those older Win11 ISOs then. The only beneficiaries of this are corps who want to ensure that new devices must check-in for AutoPilot enrolment on first boot out-of-box. In fact, Macs with Apple silicon will requ

> I do like light roasts, except i "feel" they're a bit too caffiene-y. As I understand it, the darker the roast the more caffeine has been “burnt” off, so this would explain what you’re describing.

I’m reminded of this line from Stewart Lee, when talking about the disillusioned British working class voting for radical political parties/causes: “A protest vote for UKIP is like shitting your hotel bed as a protest against bad servi

Precisely. It’s not really about system performance anymore, which just leaves the workflow benefits once you get used to it. As you point out, when using keyboard shortcuts thoroughly, the WM behaviours just make sense. Command-Tab, Tab to

Starmer has a long history of authoritarian tendencies, he’s always sided with the police or establishment powers, even when there was public outcry over the circumstances. He’s going to bend to whichever powerful spooks are pushing for thi

I’ve been very happy with the Fedora Atomic spins overall. Bazzite is a great starting point if you also care about gaming.

It’s easy to stand on the outside, pissing inwards, isn’t it? So thanks for the sweeping generalisations and absolutes, very helpful. Since you have made no point so far, only offering spiteful generalisations and offence, I feel my lived e

More and more I see articles and videos about programmable SFP modules which can be used to directly connect devices like UDM to GPON/XG(S)-PON networks, completely bypassing the ISP provided ONT. You may well find something that fits
