In my eyes China seems to have a very strong position. They have invested so heavily in optimizing their industries, regulations, etc. that they really seem to operate many orders of magnitude more efficiently than anyone else. They also ha

I'm a heavy gamer. I like lots of strategy games. Sometimes I look at our country like a strategy game: where we are investing resources, infrastructure planning and investment, active problems or threats and how they are being priorit

By what reasoning are you sure Americans are not the worst leeches?

It was argued that making the Flock data public violated everyone's privacy. It's important to stress and remind everyone the privacy violation occurred the moment pictures are indiscriminately taken, processed by AI, and stored f

Their financial stability all hinges on having lot's of user engagement. As we've seen, optimizing for engagement tends to be a pretty awful user experience. That doesn't matter to them if the numbers go up that they want to

This. If you really care about your content being scraped, you better start reading every TOS for the sites you frequent.

I recall the extra cost for heat pumps being criticized for being artificial by Technology Connections. The installers are to blame.

I'm more inclined to believe it's a foreign nation state actor with the goal of inciting more division over the issue. America's at a very hot point over the topic right now. Despite that, I don't feel like I see much su

Yes, chezmoi is for user configuration. System configuration is a drastically different domain. Personally, I manage that with Ansible.

Strange. I use remmina heavily for RDP to Windows machines and have never had a notable complaint.

What the fu- That's an insane legal requirement. I'll do the legal wedding in the most unceremonious, quickest manner possible, and then have my real ceremony in privacy and not tell anyone about it.

It's okay. This is a safe space. While you're at it, tell us how you feel the industry telling us to stop using words like "master" and "slave".

I installed Windows 11 LTSC for a work project recently. The experience left me shocked. The installer was shortened and brief, and upon first logging into the new OS, it was a thing of beauty. Clean desktop, empty start menu, no bloatware.

I'm a fan of the browser becoming a sandbox for much more than "documents". It has the most developed, flexible, and powerful UI system ever, it established numerous standards that pervade modern software development, and it&

Well, pie menus tend to work pretty well in video games in various contexts. Commo-rose style communication callout menus are a prime example.

Right-wing agenda. Simple as that. Maybe they would say something like all that monitoring is a gross waste of resources, and it's being done by liars falsifying data and misleading the public.

No, I just use (literally) 1-2 square of toilet paper. That's all that's needed to dry off. Because of the incredibly low TP usage, I splurge on nicer TP since having a bidet. A single large pack of TP can easily last many many mo

I think this is near-future thinking and limited to the current presiding paradigm of "AI" being based on LLMs. Without some drastic breakthrough in LLMs, I believe "AI is not going to do well in full autopilot" will rem

I use FreeCAD, but it definitely leaves some UX refinement to be desired. There are a couple of web based options like OnShape that seem to work well, too.

Well now it just sounds like you're describing a system backup and restore.

It kind of sounds like you're describing Ansible. You use modules for common tasks like ensuring a package is installed, a file is present or has certain content, etc. It's declarative and imdempotent.

I took a crapshot at asking chatgpt how I'd set the clock on my car radio by giving it a picture. Not only did it tell me the correct method, but it identified my radio as a "typical factory radio installed in early 2000 insert m

Strange. For all the AI I use and AI slop I DO see on the internet, this comment does not seem like AI.

Thanks for your work on Chezmoi! I've been using it for years. Straightforward tool with clear and concise documentation.

As others already pointed out, shopping for some types of things like this is just doesn't really work online when you need to feel and judge things with your hands. I also noticed that lots of online stores have minimum order quantiti

Can't mount my ZFS system. If I understand correctly, you wouldn't be allowed to prepackage it in your distributed software anyways.

Optimistic take: Big box stores closing opens a gap for local stores to fill.

Awful shortsighted and uninformed viewpoint that has been beaten into the ground ad nauseum. Read a couple books. Privacy is a precondition to democracy.

I played a lot of Pokemon growing up, and I even played Ingress (the precursor to Pokemon Go) before Pokemon Go came around. I was excited to see a pervasive-type game getting popular and was excited to join the fun, but I tried playing for
