Xfce mint is so awesome for old computers. I just wish linux was more available for old ARM based set top boxes...

That's a problem where I live. If I want to buy USD to protect me from my country's currency inflationary trend, I have to fill up cases of green bills , and risk going to banks with stashes of pesos to change for usd. Or, I can

I started using Edge (in linux! My main desktop OS) due to its vertical tabs feature, which include grouping and side-by-side tab view. I know a lot of people consider it a sin, but I love it, it works great in Linux.

When are lawsuits going to start? If I was Delta CEO or a Hospital CEO or any other huge company or country affected by this, I would be fuming.

It's a matter of culture in outsourcing. I'm a CTO in Mexico and outsource to companies in Mexico (insource modality) and it is evident outsourcing people don't give a danm about the product . Why should they? They get pa

It's funny how this story has not that much traction because it is Azure ... if it was AWS, half of the internet would be in flames.

Someone from The Valley told me a couple (~8) of years ago that he didn't like the way SV startup culture had transformed. He argued that in the past, the culture of startups in the valley focused on innovation and disruption. VCs w

Right, I started reading but felt the bitter tone of the 115k word rant early on. It seems to be basically rambling to the point of showing a picture of himself to prove he exercises?? To each their own but, I wonder if his failure in inter

This so much. I've run Linux in all my desktop machines for 10+ years. When I was younger it was mainly due to ideology, but now I really don't care. Although most linux distros still have quirks (bluetooth issues, sleep/r

I got to half of it so far (will deffo watch it later). One thing that struck me was the mention of what I call the "destructive" paradigm of medicine. If we look at most current medical procedures, they are barbaric. Chopping st

For ACH I previously used Vantiv (now part of worldpay iirc) I remembered they had good service and price.

I did not read it as a joke. Granted,I'm not American and English is not my first language. In a way it made me think "wow, it had to be an American who doesn't care about others than him and is rude and self centered" W

I'll say a "state granted monopoly" on distribution is pretty close to censorship. People are not Libres to distribute or use some bunch of text because the judicial arm of the government will prosecute them.

So, it is possible for execs to get jailtime in the US ... provided that they rob from other big companies. I wonder if negligence that kills people will result in something close for Boeing.

Insurance is the Major healthcare fraud,and is widely accepted. I pay a monthly fee to a company for a "service" which actually is on the company's interest to avoid providing. Insurance companies would spend $500,000 in l

We need a new TVTorrents and EZTV equivalent site. We need some sort of distributed library with TOR like properties so that nobody can know who is ultimately storing the data. The amount of information that is being lost is outrageous.

Lately? HN is a forum derived from an American company and promoting Silicon Valley culture. Most of the points of view of everything (not only politics) are strongly skewed towards American culture and beliefs. I would find it surprisin

Right? I have always thought it's unfair that you cannot criticize a country and the actions of its government because people will label you Nazi or antisemitic. I couldn't give a damn about the religion or the culture. But Israel

You brought me back memories of startx vs xinit (or something similar command that did nothing but start the graphical ui) in my FreeBSD CDs bought through Walnut Creek cdrom site... I couldn't believe they shipped them to my god fors

I use Linux in both my work and personal machine, and I fully agree with you. It's kind of painful. In my case I keep using it because I just cannot stand windows UI, and because I do a lot of work on docker/linux for servers, a

Maybe HOAs in the UK or in Germany would seem crazy. I lived in those two places for years and in both places people generally BEHAVE. In Germany, you DO NOT throw glass bottles into the recycle bin on Sundays because of the noise they mak

The content is crap. I loved the linkedin from the time where you could as some of your contacts to introduce you to a connection. At that time, the network was valuable.

The content is utter trash. It's the "synthetic" look-how-happy-i-am Facebook equivalent but for work life. But, I use it pretty heavily to hire people. I basically paste an image of the JD of what I'm looking for, and a
