Well that'll be a fun name change. Are you Delve , or Microsoft Delve? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-is-delve-131... Aside that, neat idea.

Who cares if you ARE "grandma". That assumes that old women are technologically incompetent, and a pretty shit thing to assume. My MiL (early 70's), happily runs Xubuntu on her machine. After getting the printer/scanner

There is a difference between: 1. Updates have been applied (in the middle of your crucial thing). Reboot in 60 seconds. Fuck you if you think you can cancel haha. 2. Updates for the following packages are available. Apply: Now or later. Wi

And the bigger question: Why the hell are we trying shitty workarounds to dockerizing Windows? It's all dumb legal crap we have to work around... All the while, there's this Linux thing that just works. And you usually don't

HN users are superb at "Moving the goalposts approaching infinity". Doubly so if it's a political humanitarian issue (homelessness).

So is the Flipper Zero. The difference is the Flipper actually fucking works out of the box. Pine shit usually doesn't. And the refrain from Pine is "iTs a HaCkER dEViCe"... so we don't have to actually provide minimally

No. Most people aren't convinced with logic or facts, no matter how damning the evidence is. Most people (here included) are swayed by emotional appeals, or otherwise logical fallacies that don't pass actual scrutiny ( https:&#x2

Asking how to make lead acetate taste just as sweet but not poisonous is also just not possible. Chrome IS spyware. You're not going to change that. The only effective change is to NOT use Chrome.

Spotify was always a fools errand. You pay $12/month for an ever-worsening, always degrading, profit-funnel and expect to have new visibility of stuff and a happy environment? Just like the RIAA members before, they figured out that co

Hotter take: Floats are bad and shouldn't be used. It's clear that even experienced programmers do NOT understand how they work, how they don't work, and the pile of edge cases. Use something saner, like binary coded decimal,

The fine? Cool. Whatever. I want the whole source code published. That would be a real punishment - your proprietary code is now GPL'd.

The republicans have had this view for as long as I can remember. They have wanted to demolish the welfare state, and to turn this place into the Corporate States of America. And of course, they've added on extremist Christians and whi

FLOSS wasnt just about "free shit" in the form of programs. It was all about user ownership of their data and how they wish to do things. These days, closed source is also closed formats. And with cloudshit tie-ins, sometimes even

Oh there is a 'unsubscribe'. It's "delete *@nextdoor.com on arrival". Do this for all domains they use. Also, report each and every one as spam. Use search to find all, and report all. And also, delete account. Send

That is true you can cobble shit on a breadboard. And it's highly non-portable and extremely anti-usable. Having a simple nice form-factor for something that can do under 1GHz am/fm, BTLE, IR, dallas 1wire, and pinouts for expansi

I would suggest you also look into potential illegalization of things like SDRs like the HackRF portapack, and other SDRs. My kit can easily do a LOT of naughty stuff. JUst because I can, doesn't mean I do. But again, this won't j

If we're paying 'social democracy sized taxes', you damn straight I demand social democracy policies. But nope, we just get "sell more weapons to Israel and Ukraine", and more class warfare.
