Is there anything genuinely innovative about Swift or is it just another "cross-platform scripting language" that I'll only see on 1 platform? The only reason I learned Powershell is because I have to admin for Windows. At l

I'm silly. So many 'convertible' laptops cannot be used as tablet substitutes because they don't have volume or mute buttons at the edge of the enclosure when in tablet mode. I'd use one of these for volume up&#x2

Speaking as a non-expert, it sounds too good to be true with the regular reports of false-positives and false-negatives from DNA testing. I'm with this person: They did something illegal to save lives.

I am not a lawyer. I'm imagining some legal argument where you claim you've become accustomed to the lifestyle and cost of living of a certain salary, and by reducing your pay you're being put in an unreasonable position (or

One of my favorite projects is the KiwiSDR network, which is essentially making radios available online for public use: http://kiwisdr.com/ http://rx.kiwisdr.com Your father could be anywhere and enjoy listening

Yeah, but I thought a lot of /inconsistencies/ were overblown with 1 side of the political spectrum jumping on any change in messaging to promote distrust. I wouldn't expect 20-30 people giving press conferences over 2-3 yea

I agree with you. There were several agencies putting out responsible messaging and trying to keep public trust. Ultimately it was a failure. Millions of people didn't trust the gov and turned to alternatives like this. I'm no

I agree that declaring 'this is fascism' doesn't persuade me to a viewpoint. I work in crisis handling, and it's never been a good idea to compare 'this is worse than that'. You could likely take any country

My parents will endlessly criticize me for wondering if a menial home task is worth doing and when. Mum works extremely hard at her job (in-person & remote split), and goes back to her house to spend all her free time doing chores. Sh

I could see tax brackets working by how your income compares to the area you live in. "If your income is 30% above the average income for this area or the national average (whichever is lower), that >30% is taxed at this rate...&quo

I wish Mozilla would explore paying its CEO less and putting Rust, Servo, and embedding Firefox through the Chrome Embedded Framework (CEF) at the forefront of their projects. We can do social experiments when your org and its projects are

If Firefox supported digital signature (e-signing) PDFs then my work would switch to it immediately. Fuck Adobe. Supposedly Edge is gaining this.

You could make the argument that having it in the URL is better than using a custom header, because customer headers may see mangling/blocking in corporate environments (indiscriminantly). I don't think it's a strong point.

I want to make the far-reaching conclusion that even if something is MIT-licensed, because it was able to be developed and openly licensed and released to the public, at minimum the derived work must also be open (not MIT).

I'm playing with Silverblue on Gnome 43 but I don't see it under Privacy settings yet. Maybe due to running it in a VM.

I did find one part of this: https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNOME-Secure-Boot-Warning A nice frontend to inform users about secure boot vulnerabilities is needed. I look forward to seeing this in Gnome.

I found the parent and your comment really insightful. I think they are right that technology has aided an individual in accomplishing things they would need others for, and one can more easily stand alone. I think you're absolutely

I don't disagree that finding alternatives will be expensive, but I think this is the same harmful thinking we have in the US where people disagree with regulation that adds necessary protection at the cost of business. So we have a &

I like this a lot. I wish sidebery (firefox extension for vertical tabs) had a style like this. It's all I've ever wanted from vertical tabs but no one seems to get this right. If I could do it myself... Here's to hoping I

I always feel like a git telling people "it's nftables now!", but it's been over a decade and folks keep using iptables as the common identifier. It's slow to change language. You're right, many of those ipta
