ElementaryOS was kinda polite in a modern mac-like way last time I looked. Or are you referring to mac os 7 style? There was a project awhile ago to implement finder-like file windows. Forgotten its name.

Well, if your view is around individualism and shaping yourself then maybe the whole self-help industry isn't so accidental. Maybe its a progression of a strong need for materials to support that view. Other countries also have it as w

Xbox gaming needs hardware level security to run in Windows. Big money. That's reason alone to do this. Android support needed linux. This is part of the reason for WSL. That and lessening the need for enterprises to gain experience wi

Board members should be investors or otherwise people with skin in the game. Shouldn't they? What have I missed?

"bacteria haven't evolved the correct enzymes" Yet. The results might not be that great for humanity either. Especially if the bacteria get, shall we say, overly eager and efficient?... and plentiful. That said, there's

Today I learned that roads are mind bogglingly expensive to build and maintain. But without any clues to the reasons why. Labor? Materials? Something seems off somehow.

For me, I just need the audio equivalent of notepad or nano. A simple editor with the basics. For those playing along at home, be aware that sox has a typosquatting link on their own page to http://sorceforge.net/ (The U

Yet this likely wouldn't help. This is how messed up the whole thing can get. From the article: In 2013, an Ohio judge ruled that Donald E Miller Jr would have to stay legally deceased, even though Miller was sitting in the courtroom t

Of course they will because they have a crime and there's someone in front of them to pin it on. Thats the hot potato approach that most legal systems rely on. The follow up is to determine whether the person they have is the right one

Who will be charged? A legally dead person. Nice. That will be fun to write up. But they will. Because they're idiots.

Surely this is a human rights violation? And there is fraud involved. Identify theft. Theft of assets. Likely corruption as well. False imprisonment. Harassment. The list goes on. So does the administrative incompetance of both the governme

More like a trapdoor in a lot of ways. Without a cert etc most people shouldn't be installing the applicarion at all. Thats the simple advice for most people, especially if some other trust is already in place, eg from someone you actu

Name one hundred of the men who laid the concrete for the sidewalks of streets near where you are. Bet you can't. Does this matter? Probably not. But those men did the job, got paid and you're still enjoying the result. A lot of t

He's certainly wearing the uniform, on the job and using the music for work purposes in a deliberate way. Sounds feasible as a public performance but I'd prefer a legal type's opinion.

It might help if the patent dispute involved or required actual instantiations of the content of the patent. It should be a valid argument that if no device exists for a category of patents then the patent is unenforceable. There must be a

For some reason I imagine a shrinking Daffy Duck yelling Mine! Mine! Mine! But I guess the situation is clear enough: the guy wants to gather everything IRC under one banner for some new thing. There will possibly be a IRC client to complet

I definitely agree this isn’t a new trend. What I dislike is that these corporations routinely complain about retention and skills shortages and a host of other problems. Including a desperate need for temporary and not so temporary visas f

They will fail in multiple ways and this will be a factor in what eats them out like a cancer. But it will take decades so really is it an issue for them? Unlikely. They'll still be profitable. It won't necessarily kill them eithe

Personally, I'd work for Amazon and already be looking elsewhere the moment I signed up, given how random it seems in terms of being fired. They're going to fire you anyway.

by nkssy 5y ago
If you can get fired because of some messed up policy like this then you don't need to take ownership for being fired anymore. Also, why show initiative if you're going to be fired randomly anyway? Why even work hard at all? Why s

UBI would sort out a lot of these friction points. So much bureaucracy is tied up in eligibility, inspection and compliance. Just be done with it. Fake tokens, food stamps etc are just resource drains.
