   Turn the monitor brightness down. I have it set to 5/100 and there's no problem using light mode all day and night.

   If you need to add storage to just one computer (at a time), consider just getting a hard drive enclosure. It's much simpler, cheaper, more secure, and faster than a NAS. You can turn it into a NAS at any time by adding a mini pc or si

   Have you ever seen a book about a Windows app? 1200 pages, 1000 of them screenshots. An insane way to do computing.

   I'm not sure Mozilla is a good case for a lean software project. If they didn't give their CEO $7M per year, spent money acquiring businesses like Pocket, gave up their braindead attempts at monetizing user data while simultaneous

    War? The EU didn't start a war when the US blew up nordstream 2. In fact they spent a lot of time nervously pointing at everyone except the US (who said they would blow it up). It's a totally abusive and subservient relationship.

    Yeah, I was once harassed by cops for five minutes and I still think about it sometimes. I can't imagine what Assange has been through.

    I recently reinstalled Windows Home. It's not possible to install a local account any more. Apparently all the loopholes have been closed. It just loops you back to the "oops looks like you lost internet access" page. I made

    Why do you need to argue (whatever that means to you)? Just take a ticket, do the work, and check out mentally at the end of the day.

    Much of the improvement in working conditions, general welfare and home ownership came from western elites' fear of communism. As that fear recedes, elites feel more comfortable squeezing us.

    Windows settings have always been bad, but the new UI is truly an atrocity. I think it's intentional because they don't really want users changing stuff, especially the spyware parts. Android is also truly horrible, with some sett

    Protectionism? That's a funny idea but there's nothing to protect. EU doesn't have any tech companies. We're been reverse colonised by US tech Microsoft/Google/Oracle/Apple.

    I wouldn't buy a laptop with a 16:9 screen in 2024. Plus it's OLED, so higher power use, psychological pressure to make everything black, and danger of burn-in.
