This is amazing. It starts with rightly understanding that problems aren't actually as simple as they might seem from outside. But then it bizarrely seems to take that to conclude that our friends aren't trying for inertia or fear

The link highlights two photo data scrubbers (one metadata, one visual redacting) and a file shredder program. Not much here to truly boost your privacy considering the way the internet works these days. Maybe if this fits your use profile

It's an interesting idea, to allow more natural entry as data entry is one of the highest friction parts of this. But from my perspective the examples used to show and sell this are very bad. User: "Paella" App: A huge set of

Utterly unfocused garbage making no point and having no point besides tossing about numerous ad hominem attacks.

When it comes to the internet if something like this is not protected by anything more than a random string in a URL then they aren't really private. Same story with all the internet connected web cams you can find if you go looking. I

Hilarious, given how many real world problems start with the "answer" and the actual question is "how do we get there?".

"Tech nerds" built web sites that only worked in IE back then and "tech nerds" are building websites now that only work in Chrome. Didn't have a clue back then, and don't have a clue now. Forget warning "n

I moved everything to Gnucash about 8 months ago and didn't look back. Online and automatic was convenient, but local is working fine for me. I thought I would miss the automation more, but in practice it doesn't take much time to

Article needs an editor: "As of late 2022, the world contained about 900 megawatts of wind power capacity." I've worked on single projects larger than that. Presumably they mean gigawatts?

The linked article gives no examples unless you "sign up" to actually read the thing. I don't know who this is, why should I give them any consideration? Toss this in the garbage with all the rest.

This may be useful if you're purposely setting up to participate somewhere with anachronistic rules, as it gives a nice list of clients and configuration settings to get things working. But for general email communication the ship sail

What is "assistance with various things?" That's incredibly vague and unhelpful. What is "a companion device?" Again, vague and unhelpful. You haven't explained anything, and the web site fails to explain anyth

How can you so badly fail at even saying what the hell this is on your shitty glossy web site? What is this? The page is just a list of hardware 'features' with large but unclear pictures. "push to talk button" ok, so? &

Those are both unusable too. If only the author had put it on his own blog like in the good old days.

This is community/water district specific and so is not so easily generalized. I've lived in Kansas City and Denver and neither have this issue. But in my brother's city yes it's an issue.

Useless summary of what is clearly another source, without an obvious link to that actual source, no photos of the experiment and a bunch of secondhand discussion. Just repost garbage, likely to drive ad views (not that I'm willing to

No, though Gnome really isn't set up for it. Or being useful, really. But on my Framework 13 with KDE I have no issues. I prefer 1.25x when standalone and 1.5x when docked and used as a second screen (it's farther away) and KDE wo

Yeah because how can they unethically push you to use Edge if you're not running a Windows OS. And think of all the telemetry they aren't gathering because they don't have Windows on phones. Terrible thing.

Turning point in what? It's a camera and a pair of speakers in ugly glasses (yes, personal opinion) with shit battery life and tied to an unethical company. That's the entire thing. They're not remotely "smart" in a
