I can only recognize the most common ones: Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Calibri, Ubuntu, Comic Sans, Roboto, Computer Modern. But more than noticing the differences between them, what's important is noticing when there's som

This is the only thing stopping me from buying an X1 Carbon. I had decided to buy a Dell Latitude instead, but apparently Dell did something similar [1], so now I don't know what to buy. Maybe a Huawei? AFAIK they haven't been cau

I can also see how legislation would worsen the situation by eliminating incentives for people to use alternative mobile stores and operating systems. "Why use another store, when Google and Apple are required by law to have all apps?&

Teaching git & Github to someone that doesn't know how to use a terminal is like teaching calculus to someone that doesn't know how to add. Of course you won't be able to do it in a couple of hours. Most people spend year

In my opinion, that's outside the scope of a general-purpose programming language.

Lately, I've been on the fence about open source software, and I've been tempted by propietary programs. Mainly because FOSS is much less polished than commercial closed-source software, and I care about polish. I even contemplate

There is place for ethical discussions in tech, but international standards are not the appropiate place or tool to push your push your vision of ethics.

It doesn't sit well with me that the Unicode consortium decides which emojis to approve based on moral grounds or possible consequences of their use. I have stopped using emojis because I don't want to contribute in legitimizing t

ISP: lives in your country, so they can be coerced by law enforcement to give away your data. VPN: usually lives in another country. Much harder to coerce.

Misleading title. This is personal drama about a group of people. Nothing to do with audio on Linux.

"Social justice" movements are also manipilative and are doing much more harm than good at this point, but companies and a lot of people keep pushing them. Should we start banning them too?

1. Someone expressed their concern that fragments of GPL code would end up in projects with non-GPL licenses and called it open source laundering. They were also concerned about the interpretation of derivative work. Could copilot's ou

This dude is funny as shit, he could well be a character in the Silicon Valley TV series. The fact that he is being serious half of the time makes it funnier, IMO.

In principle I'd agree with paying taxes for Intellectual Property, but there are problems: - Copyright is "automatic" whenever you fix a work to a medium. Should it be made manual, like patents? Or should copyright be exempt

Well, they wouldn't be IP disputes, because there would be no IP. I'm guessing they refer to signing contracts similar to NDAs when you don't want your invention to be public, but still want to "sell" it to some spe
