A lot of the "plastic" is cellophane which is more or less chemically purified wood and decomposes. We have a problem with disposable containers but I think the attack on grocery store packaging materials misses the point.

T-Mobile has been doing a fantastic job. No need to think through privacy issues or use open and trust-less technologies, just let the administrators handle it.

128GB sounds like plenty for Alpine or Debian but way too small for OSX. I'm surprised Apple sells computers with non replaceable storage that small.

IMO: LFS is a hack and you probably shouldn't keep large files in git.

The cash register at the CVS on the corner here already takes paypal, I wonder if I'll be able to pay with crypto by 2024.

The point of OS X is that you pay a premium and now put up with a bunch of crap from Apple to not have to deal with stuff that "can happen on any OS." When you have to deal with it why bother? Why not run Linux?

IMO: The real killer feature is the stuff Pine64 is doing with lorawan plus the phone's expansion bus.

Good old data driven decision making.

Between their screw ups and Pine64's successes that hopefully won't happen.

I didn't realize it worked that way until WFH. I guess it makes some sense but it's really annoying because despite being able to work from anywhere actually working outside your home state for any amount of time becomes really

I love my 3.5mm cables for this reason. No negotiating with vendors (except Apple but it's well known that they really suck) just plug and play.

I'm pro crypto as a financial tool but everything that uses it for social media seems like a mess. We already have Mastodon and that works very well without any crypto nonsense. I wonder if this is twitter's attempt to make dece

Well this is what I was thinking of: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect I know someone claims my bank supports it but I've never tried.

Isn't there a standard API used in the US? GNU cash talks about it some in their documentation but I've never tried using it.

Most people I know never invited network scanning. They were surprised by a Trojan holding their new TV hostage though (if they even noticed.)

It's days like today that I'm very glad I use a prepaid VOIP service that accepts bitcoin.

It turns out rent in the west costs more than $120/month no matter how resourceful you are or how hard you work.

They're supposed to help you locate fraudulent transactions after your card is stolen. I guess that benefits the merchant because it makes you less likely to mark legitimate transactions as fraudulent.

Safety belts made out of office rubber bands probably won't help much and silencing people for pointing out that allowing them is bad regulation is self defeating.

Signatures are for you, not the card company. This is why I sign with a nonce.

Many of us are very fast with text editors and very expressive with algorithms but struggle with DAW interfaces. Text is just flexible enough to work as a replacement and the already existing tools to manipulate and manage it make it very a

I don't see how this is any different than walking into a building and telling the concierge you're a maintenance worker.

I'm generally pro immigration but: 1) If not handled well that can make a huge mess. see Germany 5 years ago for example 2) If the people immigrating aren't well educated or capable of communicating with the rest of the people but

Selfdriving car owners should be fined for bothering pedestrians by endangering them with 2 ton steel boxes being controlled by overpriced random number generators. Selfdriving is for roads not streets.

Many of the stores I've been to give the cashiers a "store" card that they just swipe if you don't have one (even if you've never signed up.) It probably violates some corporate policy but they seem to get away with
