Vscode runs great on windows and Linux. MS has actually made the remote VScode option so you can click a button and suddenly you are running a WSL2 headless Ubuntu box in Windows. Could be just embrace extend extinguish though then everyone

Picked yup a 4k lg from costco last year for around $300-350. This is not a gaming monitor, but running KDE on Kubuntu 20.04 scaled at 150% is just fine. Ubuntu 20.04 is unusable due to buggy GPU/x/? though. Looks like that com

The military might be world class and also a mini welfare-state but it has left the rest of the country kinda a shithole (as the president famously described other countries). Literally walked by a huge homeless encampment yesterday where p

I’ve Deferred my grad school applications due to COVID. This is a huge cash-grab by universities and IMO totally criminal. There is no way you can learn like this and I do not want to teach over zoom. Kinda looks like universities think the

The circumstances that led up to this failure of organizational security are a combo of IT apathy and vendor lock-in. IMO you should not be running windows on hardware whose failure could cause deaths. Maybe windows could be secured to prev

We have that regulatory capture of building and zoning in the USA so that even if you wanted to just go and build an earthship it would be technically illegal. If they can’t tax it or control it = not happening.

The real lesson is to install ublock origin and be done with deceptive advertising. Last time I tried to find nvidia drivers for windows 1st result was an obvious scam/crapware. This is not acceptable that big tech companies are making

This is a great idea. I’d take it a step further and correlate it to the availability of municipal fiber and also a Costco within a 30min drive.

No it isn’t. It’s just doing business see https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/whats-the-difference... you can walk away from a mortgage and lenders are not allowed to go after personal assets.

Healthy is a BMI in the normal range and following something close to the Harvard nutrition plate (USDA one is bought by big agriculture). Being able to afford a meal service or go to Whole Foods is also much harder when you live in a food

More specifically we need to totally decouple health insurance from employment. This is not post-ww2 anymore. No more Cadillac plans from FAANG companies either unless your paying for it out of your own pocket. This would immediately solve

This is bullshit and is designed to enable Amazon to allow Toyota and its insurance “partners” to extract more money out of the average American driver. Remember how Kroger/Safeway/friends started their loyalty programs? Just give

Yes this pattern of data-driven decisions on our loves is troubling. However if we understand what these corporations are looking for it is easy to exploit them for fun and profit. If you get a decent credit score say hello to multiple $500
