I think we're getting faster at iterating on bringing up dev environments. Silverblue is my favorite, but it's becoming common for me to develop everything within a docker image. As quickly as we're committing to a project,

This is something I'd be comfortable with maintaining, but I couldn't leave with my dad. (I work on the road for months, and it's unpredictable when I come back. Longest I was out was 2 years..)

The GPU is important.. afaik the keyboard and trackpad aren't working yet in Asahi Linux. I don't expect Apple to support the Linux community. It feels like this is trending in one direction. It felt like things stopped being &q

1) We are now 2 generations in without full Linux support for the hardware. 2) I used my Powerbook G4 for 12 years; this is mostly because I was a kid with no money. When I got something else, my sister used it for another 3 years. With t

I want it, but I'm not getting it until all the hardware works under Linux. MacOS is great, but someday they will stop updating MacOS for this. I see it as a device with incredible longevity because of the fanless thermals and how it

That's an important distinction, but I think it's getting more common to post for positions you have filled so there are resumes available if someone takes flight. Resumes don't mean someone is available either.

This is the most tactless thing they could have done to bring 2A proponents to the table to discuss responsible legislation. *puts on tinfoil hat*

I'm optimistic growing remote work means extending the working life of an SWE (counter to ageism).

I'm not saying it's a good idea to give everyone a gun, but I do like the argument that the disadvantaged have the same opportunity to pull a trigger. I hope humanity learns wisdom as quickly as we innovate. We've made it t

While likely not your situation, a free and open-source app doesn't guarantee it will safeguard your data :x

I'd like to think these ideas have been around and well-known for decades, and we're starting to see the hardware rise up to support them. If you told someone in 2001 that Linux would be rewritten in say, Java, with a garbage col

That + the Temporary Containers extension can make every new tab a new container by default. I also use Container Proxy so I can route traffic from each tab through a different proxy if needed (mitmproxy). I've wanted to go to Chrome

Still coming to my own conclusion here, but I wouldn't dismiss "easy button" as marketing. We keep hoping for easy buttons and reasonable default settings in things like openssl or pgp. I do like organizations that understa

This is my own inexperience with OOP showing: I keep wondering if trait/protocol/interface programming has made inheritance entirely worthless. Love Rust. I've been working in Java for other reasons, but I've been not

I think hardware attestation is the most dangerous thing in recent history. All they have to do is convince the public that certain programs are like owning a gun or a bazooka that can do real harm, and begin normalizing the idea that only

I think most of the country gets a bad rep for regulation and initiatives and laws that don't have positive effect. My parents are in the crowd that want to leave California because of supposed "over-regulation". I was tell

I try to humble myself there. While 32GB seems ridiculous for 2005, I've absolutely enjoyed having 64GB in 2022. Yes, apps have gotten more bloated. Yes there are many wasteful framework-built heavy apps. In many cases they are doi

My understanding is that Intel boosts power so a single core can chew through a program quicker than being inherently energy efficient (performance-per-watt). Most of the time this benefits Intel, because a core will boost-up-then-down qui

I don't know why you're being downvoted. While I would commonly understand people want to avoid taxes, I think there's a real question in there: Why don't people want to contribute back to an environment that enabled th

I just want to run a VM on an iPad. I don't consider the iPad or Apple to be the best device to protect my privacy, but it is the most comfortable tablet/portable experience. What I read last, was that Google is adding it's

I was mostly remarking on the lack of (significant) innovation. I'd say the best feature here has been airplay/miracast for drive-by screen sharing from my sister/mom/dad on their iPads or phones. For what we pay, I wis

The thing that really bothers me are all these "AI" technologies in my new LG oled tv that don't actually get used. All of them to reduce "crushed" images, correct color, improve blurriness in motion scenes, etc ar

You mentioned things I hadn't thought of. Google's Search accomplishes the goals of 10 years ago, but steps no further than that. It treats its power users like kids, and offers no complex filtering to do things like removing se

That is definitely close to what I'm thinking of. What I was trying to say is our 1st reach should be for a graph editor. Behind the scenes it may break down to a command line program, but what you'd deal with all the time is th

This is an aside , but I've been watching all the audio graph editor projects pop up and it's made me realize I want something like this for package management. A package maintainer should be able to specify something is a dev d

It occurs to me you could do something like this by creating a dummy user and enabling a user service on login (systemd). I don't think this is the best method, because you can't predict all the ways to login without a shell. Ju
