I'd like to be more positive about this change but it was extremely disruptive to existing workflow. Oh that channel that had third party people? It's now in the ether. That project that only existed in one workspace? Mixed right

What my favourite is managers creating whole new lists for themselves so they can say they are at the front of the line. Then are baffled that this is insufficient prioritization that 7+ top lists can't all be top. It really helps high

I just wonder when the dam is going to break. Part of how Google spun money for so long is because they had high quality search to run ads on, but some of these latest changes have completely lost the plot. I don't need an animated ai

Yeah, I was a LXDE user for the longest time but with hidpi displays it started falling apart. Cinnamon ended up being the right amount of utility as a baseline and it has felt like a stable place to be since I swapped.

I recommend Debian + Cinnamon right now over KDE for people who want that Windows + searchable start menu now get out of my way. Right now for me KDE is a bit much.

I would say any topic that isn't covered by stack overflow tends to start bleeding badly. Now that GitHub has prevented searching source I am having less success searching for error messages, as I used to be able to extract the static

In the olden times (e.g. 1999) you would write HTML by hand (notepad.exe) the same as people write markdown today. It then works as a single thing to move around, I don't need to bring a second thing with me so reorganizing simple HTML

People really underestimate how much time is available to qualify whether a feature that on paper that sounds problematic is benign or functionally helpless without $XYZ other things by a security team. Saying use MDM to 'fix' it

What I think I am waiting for from Mozilla is instead of this enrich the suggest experience just go full Yahoo like Microsoft did with Microsoft start. Make an organic 'good' home page, and let people who want to not use it switch

I'm finding the adoption of Win11 especially awkward because some programs that were built for earlier versions seem to draw blurry. I also am getting a lot of weird playback issues in Firefox for video on both arm64 and amd64. It feel

My favourite is when you did click don't recommend channel it sometimes still comes back after a year or two like a bad relationship on Facebook. I try and maintain a few browsers with different recommendations streams and it's al

I agree, Unity did disrupt the game engine experience for the smaller dev and earned their goodwill. Since then they really had provided little reason to continue with Unity other than tradition, and other engines made it easier to engage w

The thing that's actually standing out to me lately is of the OSs I use (win10 win11 osx and Linux) win11 seems awful with all the browsers I've tried having video playback bugs of the severity I've not seen in years. That is

I unironically miss my cube. They were natural sound breaks and sound absorbing so you could talk and not intrude horrifically on people adjacent. I had a place for my things so I didn't have to shuttle them in and out every day. I had

This is part of what I hoped would evolve as part of the full remote pandemic stuff. I left my home area because it was obvious my salary ceiling would be about a third of what I am making now, and I still have room to grow where I am where

This is where I've been stuck. I have enough money and income to buy and support an EV charger, but the network isn't there yet for an EV to be a primary vehicle. I also would get punished for ptax as well vs stretching the life o

So what is your opinion that you are trying to present here? That it's wrong because it isn't following the definition you expect income tax to fall under or schools don't have the ROI you would hope for? I just don't kn

Sometimes it's also abuse too depending on the product. If you have a product that can get twisted into a phishing mechanism or injecting crypto miners somehow that can be the worst for whack a mole. I still think in many cases this is

A/AAAA records are a special sort of hell to debug remotely. "My browser can find it but I can't ping it! What do you mean ping6?" In some environments that is maddening and I don't blame people for just deciding no

I think you missed the point where they were saying most infra dev might not know how to do on prem and cloud so it becomes less of a choice to use cloud if cloud skills are the only skills in your org.

It's a curse of writing to an unknown audience for me. I have no problem with blogging but stepping back to write a good draft for that 'first time reader' is just is extra effort. I write constantly for myself to myself and

I'd also say that $8 a month is a great price to astroturf for a month. Also why is the idea of Twitter monthly even sensible? Who plans their Twitter identity as a power user month to month? Why is it not just $100 a year?

I kind of hoped this was a laptop instead of an all in one. I have a Lenovo x13s and I really like it. The windows on ARM experience with win 11 is almost surprisingly good compared to early arm iterations.

I agree, it's a lot harder to logically/visually move through comments. The grey-black-black-with-underlines is a lot easier to read then the bold-black/black/thin-hl. It's kind of why I hate the new reddit style to

I really hate how there's no alt tags or anything like that to actually tell you what any of the sliders mean.

And to add on there's lots of people can afford a three bedroom house but it's just too much house which I think was the original sentiment. Of the people who are buyers that I'm directly associated with I'm seeing peopl

My favourite 'home server' board for a while was J3160DC-ITX, which runs at 6W TDP and runs off a 12V brick.

I think the things missing from this anecdote are secondary sources like glassdoor or personal references. If a company is large enough to have a high enough headcount you can often find it through secondary sources so the salary range is n

I would say that for a lot of daemons OpenBSD ends up with more interesting and cleaner versions than some of the ancient BSD ilk or with some of the complexity of the GNU replacements. It's often a lot easier to port part of/some

The worse part is when you see translation rights being bought and then the translator never following through to the end even if I put my money into it. I feel that's why I'm mostly ambiguous to the whole situation on what could
