Our Samsung running Tizen has the obnoxious need to check if antenna-based broadcasting is available, every single time you open the settings menu. It never is, it won’t ever again be in Europe. But it checks. And lags. And then whatever yo

Snow Leopard was spectacular. Rock solid, I never had a single problem with the OS. Lots of third-party developers making good software helped, I think shortly after (Lion?) I bought Things, Little Snitch, Sketch, and Alfred.

Funny you mention Fedora, since the installer itself is unusable in my 4K display, defaulting to the 4K resolution instead of a 2x. I never managed to install Fedora using the GUI.

Agreed. We went from “internalise your core business and contract what doesn't give you an edge” to “actually just build everything in-house with AI”. Maybe that’ll be the better option in the end, but for now it looks like tons of w

Sibling comment explains it well enough, but from my own experience: you don’t mess with a few, select drugs. You just don’t. There’s potent synthetics that you can rid yourself of despite their addictive nature. But I don’t know anyone tha

Thanks for mentioning it, sometimes I feel isolated in my experience of walking at the edge of a cliff. It seems like a good portion of my mental energy goes into the daily practice of keeping depression away. But my therapist has kindly ex

That’s much longer than my practice, so it makes me wonder if the less impressive results of meditation are caused by people like me that do 5–15 minutes. I’ve deep trauma that psychotherapy helped, but I can’t say meditation does anything

Oh, it’s not the criticism. It’s the hatred, the vile attacks on open-source maintainers. I wouldn’t want to work with people like that, would you?

Understandable, but I’m definitely a lot less bitter than it seems. Well, Microsoft is vile. I won’t expand because there’s plenty online on the topic. And I don’t like their acquisition of GitHub, which has turned into an ecosystem for lau

Thank you, that’s indeed much cleverer. Unfortunately I’ve closed my account this year, trying to put my money where my mouth is and not furthering the goals of GitHub or Microsoft.

GP offered one plausible explanation and backed it up with credible points. They’ve done more than the linked blog post which has no explanation to offer.

Some of the critics in the thread are… odious. I’ve written down some of the GH handles, because if I’m ever hiring again, I wanna make sure I’d never hire some of these folks. I don’t understand how someone can display such contempt toward

I could never afford Tailwind UI but then again I don’t really use Tailwind. That said, as an open-source styling solution, they could be supported in other ways. A lot — and I really mean a lot — of websites are built with Tailwind, yet ve

I’m working on an app as part of my unemployment trajectory. It was going to be a one-time purchase thing, but almost everyone on the business advisory team thinks it’s a bad idea. I’m running out of excuses/arguments as to why I think

There must be a breaking point. We’ve reached ours last year, when price went up again and my grandfathered plan wasn’t accepted anymore. So I talked to the missus and we cancelled our Netflix. It had been my account for, what, a decade? A

Very insightful, rather than unjustified speculation. Of course it doesn’t explain why many other apps are so big, e.g. Withings, Bunq (bank), and Albert Heijn (supermarket) together eat 1GB of my storage. All 3 are things I need to list

If Bill Bryson is to be trusted, the loom actually replaced a massive amount of labor. Prior to invention of labor-savings devices, Britain made 32x less cotton fibre. The inventions in this space put tens of thousands out of work, in what

Same. And finally thinking that our KDE home server doesn’t look too bad, it’s almost comforting. The major reason to stay on macOS is stability. Hopefully they stop breaking things on the Mac front.

Flutter and KMM are actually very good and better to use than the debacle that React Native can be. But they’re worlds behind in community support, and React Native became the ‘kitchen sink’ that works for most needs. As a React Native deve

This article is infuriating. The most misunderstood? Of all novels? Are we sure? Why not call it a “very misunderstood” novel? The entire article is a maze of ideas, explaining very little in the end. Okay, it’s misunderstood by young reade

The article underlines that what you get out of Gatsby will change substantially with age, and even encourages a re-reading later to get a different understanding of the novel. If a teenager’s understanding of it is ‘wrong’ according to you

To be fair, dams can be immensely destructive to ecosystems, with run-off effects that harm everything around them (humans included). My ex worked for on the NGOs that campaign for better dams instead of no dams at all .

I understand your point, but the laws in place are heavily decided by the lobbyists and cartels that pad the pockets of politicians. If the system is unfair or immoral, playing by its rules doesn’t make things any better. I’m not saying “

These are fair points. And developers themselves thought “hey, what if I also write Node?”, thus making things worse. Businesses accepted that all too willingly.

It’s reasonable to consider. If a title runs at 80FPS on Windows, it’ll be completely playable on Linux. Framerate isn’t everything.

Sure buddy. Price-gouging consumers, regional lock-ins, paying creators a tiny %, revoking licenses, using public funds to make for-profit media, etc., these are all humane and chill.
