When I worked at AOL in 2010, dialup was their biggest source of revenue still. It'd be interesting to see the drop-off since then. I imagine it's trending down pretty quick as the generation using it kicks the bucket.

You mean unmarked vans, driven by plainclothes people with face coverings and no badges? How is anyone to know it's an ICE vehicle and not some random kidnapping, you donkey?

This is why I jumped to Wayland: laptop monitor and desktop monitor with different resolutions/scaling. Xorg choked, Wayland worked. That said, moving to Wayland broke a ton of other stuff in my otherwise peaceful workflow. I really do

This is my exact experience with DBeaver. Absolutely cannot stop all the frustrating popups. Finally got fed up and started using vim+dadbod and while the experience is a bit less batteries-included, I was mostly just using DBeaver to run r

What then do you suggest as a good middle ground between website publishers and website enjoyers? Doing a one-time challenge and storing the result seems like a really good compromise between all parties. But that's not good enough! So
