This is a new phenomenon, too. It was only a few years ago that there was a church-wide semiannual congregation (known as General Conference) where the leadership announced that it was bad to be referred to as "Mormon". The reason

Best counter to workplace discrimination: more workplace discrimination. Get an authority involved if you have proof.

Which is funny because most Mormons I know dislike the FBI specifically because their actions as of late are directly in opposition to their beliefs.

It depends on the family. My girlfriend wasn't allowed to drink any caffeine when she was a kid. Caffeine was normal in my family though. Coffee is pretty universally frowned upon (I don't get it either). Apparently Mtn Dew > C

You accomplish things in real non-computer life? Nerd. For the downvoters, that's what we call a "joke". I appreciate when I hear from not-terminally-online people on here.

I think that applies to many topics. Maybe math more than others due to the complexity of it all, but it seems commonplace that as you become more of an expert on a topic, the more detached from "newbyism" you become. It's ha

I never knew he made a whole open source project for it, nor that it was even a library doing the animation. I thought he hand-animated his videos. Brilliant.

Really hope this doesn't affect their development of VirtIO drivers and related virtualization technology. Although being realistic, it probably will.

Apple has successfully convinced their base that leaving their walled garden is a danger. I wonder what particular word could be used to define that. Anyways, F-Droid is a clear example of how alternative sources of apps can be just as secu

I ended up putting arrow keys in my 60%, which shifted the layout (PCB limitations) to where I ended up having to sacrifice my / and ? for a shift key (to fit the empty space). So I ended up having to do something similar. Holding it d

Granted, operating a weapon under the influence is a stupid idea. Just as it is with respect to driving. I mean, before now, we may as well just ban alcoholics from getting drivers licenses. At least then there'd be more statistical ev

There are stats from the CDC and FBI. Spoiler alert: they don't corroborate the popular narrative.

My primary issue is that it limits the refresh rate. It immediately gets choppier when scrolling, which is suuuuper annoying.

There seems to be a fairly low memory limit on processes, so when I tried to run a Minecraft server on my OpenBSD system, it complained about not having enough memory to start. Turns out the value seems to be hardcoded and compiled into the

Relevantly, (and I can't remember what the rule is called) there's an internet rule that goes something like "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is to leave the wrong one." Not that you should intenti

Totally off-topic, but: flying rats are so cute. I didn't realize that until we started getting some that would hang in the alcove, above our door, in the summer occasionally. They aren't really a threat either. As long as you don

A good politician never lets a catastrophe go to waste. U.S. may not have purposely caused the invasion of Ukraine, but it's certainly a useful tool to rake in those NATO holdouts.

Seconded. I refer to them as shady because I have no way of knowing what they do with your data. I didn't even consider that they'd have a whole botnet market going on too. This definitely needs to be more public.

The thing is, while Firefox should have better sandboxing, the tradeoff at the moment is that with Chromium you get better security, but less control and privacy off the bat. With Firefox, you get less security, but more control and priva

As a police officer, you swear an oath to uphold the US Constitution. If you believe a law is unconstitutional, you have an obligation to not enforce it. I know, that kind of autonomy and trust is foreign to non-USAers, but that's why
