I hadn't really kept up with the development of KDE until I got a Steam Deck and booted into desktop mode. Once there, I was quite surprised to find a really performant, attractive, easy-to-use desktop environment. My previous KDE expe

It's an interesting proposal because they correctly call out that segmenting state files by workspace/environment in a very judicious way causes its own issues as you approach scale or have to work across environments. There is an

Learning Java in high school, I loved how the very first lesson (focused on Hello World) had you type this out, only for the teacher to say “This will make sense later on but for now just type it in”.

Open up the Calendar app on macOS Tahoe. Look in the upper right at the time zone selector. It is left justified to a fault, leaving a very awkward amount of space between it and the expand arrow/flyout arrows.

I think ultimately this is a good decision. The web has flourished in part because Google has supported Chrome so well over the years since they are incentivized to do so. You don't have to use Chrome (I don't) to benefit from thi

For a meetup hosted in my city, I used to stay in the city after work one day a month to attend. Now that I work from home, there is zero chance I am commuting into the city at rush hour to go to a meetup.

The thing to keep in mind with the "Block Public Access" setting is that is a redundancy built in to save people from making really big mistakes. Even if you have a terrible and permissive bucket policy or ACLs (legacy but still a

Absolutely. I talk all the time about how I miss server browsers. Perhaps similar to the self hosting movement, we will see a similar movement in gaming to reclaim multiplayer games. The fact that a game can "die" and become unsup

It is but you have to intentionally keep it small and limit tickets. I think one of the issues that Defcon has is that they just don't cap tickets; historically they could not, because you could only buy a badge with cash so there was

Defcon is no longer a counterculture conference, and arguably hasn't been for a while. It's a place for security professionals to go to hang out in Vegas for a few days on their company's dime, or to extend their stay after B

The reason most people use apps instead of websites is that the devices they are using do not have a desktop class browser in them. iOS and iPadOS devices specifically run the mobile version of Safari which makes using modern web apps a pai
