There's not a lot to review, it's pretty bare bones. It has a clock, heartrate sensor, and can tell you notifications. I only really use it for the time and notifications, since that's all I really want from a watch. Battery

I don't know, any hardware that I've used any big distro on (ubuntu, pop, manjaro) just worked out of the box instantly for all of these. On battery especially for many laptops I found better battery life on Linux since I could ma

New York City, and I don't think it's bad. The effort it takes for me to apply to jobs, and conversely, to approve/reject applicants (according to other people that I've talked to) is easier than having to sort through a

As someone who's in college and looking/lookedfor internships to do over the summer, postal is literally not an option anymore. Companies will not offer a mailing address to their hiring team at all, and if you send something via

Google isn't a government entity, it's a private company. Had there been more restrictions on what tech corporations (and corporations as a whole) could do, power could have been limited by the concentrated power of government. Th

It's literally capitalism. It's the system that Google was allowed to thrive in and become this powerful.

This is the thing that I have the most passion for. I like computers and electronics. But it's dwarfed by other passions that I have that I would much rather be doing. No bills are being paid by me wanting to bike or write in my jour

It's so frustrating for me to read things like "I am sad for you". I don't have the option to do what I want; someone has to pay to feed the children and keep the lights on at my village back home. Another commenter said

I feel like people who say that "it's so much money, so try and get something out of it" are people who have never had the experience of being a "bad student" and have an immense passion for learning. I really can&#

I would buy this laptop once my current laptop dies (don't want to produce unnecessary e-waste) if it had coreboot. Until then, I'm planning to use system76. I'm conflicted between that though, because I want to support small

Right people should but this will only increase people being deluded, because of it's ease of use. And it's not like any of us are immune to being deluded either; I'm sure there are things I and others take as truths becaus

I think that this doesn't really help artists as much as just do it for them. Art, the way I see it, requires a human to do because it is something that requires emotion, something a robot could replicate but not feel. For example, a

I argue there is a difference because of the nature of the work. Machines aiding in farming is only a good thing, because it can maximize output and minimize input. People (largely) don't care about the process of how it was grown, but

This is actually incredible! I think we should push for web apps more and more, it'll help for convergence between platforms. Do you have a timeline for when this will look good on mobile phones?

I think it would probably be worthless. SEO means money spent to the search engine company, and why improve UX when you could buy your seventh super yacht?

Yea I always just put in the question I want into DDG and then just add reddit in the end. It's so much better than any blog or anything because at least it gives the semblance of real users giving their opinion.

Speaking of this, does anyone know about any local backups for Linux with a nice GUI? I turned into a GNOMie and don't want to spend time with commandline options to figure it out. I tried APTIK but it flat out didn't work.
