You're certainly welcome to whatever religious beliefs you want. Ultimately you have no clue how much I think about or don't think about anything, which means the only real thing you're describing here is a dogmatic view of h

Some things are important enough that I don't want to have all notifications turned off (e.g. in the case of emergency), but I'm much more distracted by a lingering notification that I haven't been able to glance at, determ

That seems extremely overdramatic for what amounts to a personal choice that doesn't disrupt anyone else.

My hot take is that the "killer feature" of a smartwatch is that it's quicker (and less disruptive in social contexts) for glancing at notifications. I can't look at my phone in a meeting (nor should I!), but I can spend

Based on the experience that I (and other coworkers, including on other distros) had, whatever configurations our VPN needed did not seem to work out of the box on network manager.

I'm seeing the same thing on Firefox on Linux. It almost looks like the page scroll is jiggling up and down a tiny amount constantly when it's supposed to be stationary.

I've been a fan of Tailscale since encountering it for the first time at a previous job at a small startup. Someone asked if anyone had a Linux machine when we were all testing out something, and I mentioned I had a personal Linux desk

Yeah, this part also stuck out to me: > Because this wouldn’t be a quick or easy fix, we reached out to the SQLite developers for a professional support contract. This was a great decision. It gave us direct access to their deep expertis

I guess that's a logically coherent way of viewing it, but to me, that stretches the definition of "value" to be almost tautological; it's essentially saying "companies are founded to do the things that the people w

Sure, but that doesn't mean he made billions before!

It almost feels like they were paying more in the hopes of owning the next LLVM or Swift based on the name on the tin rather than basing the price on the product itself.

Yeah, feels kind of odd to phrase it like that when he's already created more than one world famous compiler before this one.

Honestly that doesn't really feel like a glowing endorsement of the language. "They announced a crazy goal, then rolled it back because they grossly underestimated how hard it was" doesn't give me confidence in either th

Yeah, I've never found the "maximizing shareholder profit" imperative to be compelling as something that should be done, but as a predictor of how companies will act, it's not something I ever feel safe betting against

I'm a terrible typist, so I can't criticize. Lately I've noticed I end up needing to edit what seems to be the majority of my comments because I notice typos shortly after posting them. Hopefully this comment isn't one o

If you still have the ability to edit it, looks like there's a typo in the word "assistance"

I mean, given that the English you wrote above didn't make it clear that was the only part you were complaining about, it's worth it to consider that maybe precision is hard in natural language regardless of how it's written

git has a notoriously overcomplicated interface, so this is a scenario that I can honestly understand why someone wouldn't want to do it by hand

My take has always been that there's a mutual "no requirements other than basic human respect" that goes both ways between maintainers and users. It's totally valid for someone to decide they want to close the source for

This also is mostly a bandaid, but my recollection is that for years there's been support for picking a different email for notifications for specific repos (and if not, I'm positive there has been a setting per org at least for t

I was pretty sure you understood based on how you described it! This stuff is very easy for people less technical to get confused about though (which is not at all their fault!), and from what I've seen in the subreddit where I found o

Humans do die eventually though, which is an even more severe form of obsolescense. I don't think they'll be AGI either, but that argument doesn't seem super compelling.

Everyone uses cell phones. Not everyone has a job where paying this much for these tools would be worthwhile for their employer.

Quick clarification: I'm pretty sure there's no uploading at all; it uses local storage for the filtering too, which is important because uploading a ROM tends to be risky legally

For whatever reason, I was fully expecting people to chime in telling me that this was less frequent than normal, since I've always had the perception that I'm an outlier on the end. Maybe the fact that this doesn't get discu
