Caveman

I work in Web dev so there’s that. But also the roman empire and etymology.

Now do Black and White

It’s a fair point but it’s not as egregious as most other headlines. I personally give this one a pass since clickbaits are meta in the article space. It shows that GOG has this in their toolbox.

I make e-commerce websites. It’s a lot about making widgets, making logic for connecting to their accounting system and how prices and discounts work together. Then whatever delivery and payment system they need and so on.

I write 90% of the code by hand since it works for me very well.

The infection risk only becomes an issue when you’re old. I’m getting circumcised at 70, I’m keeping my dick whole until then. Your dick looks ugly, sorry not sorry.

Also, I’m happy you like your dick, I’m sure you’d also like it if your parents didn’t remove a piece.

R&D is a really big one though. It’s a very high price for smaller volumes of phones but as soon as you get into the bigger quantities you can save on R&D (per model) and pocket the rest as profit.

To me it makes a lot of sense that privacy phones cost more, even if you could at most shave $100 off the price with selling data. It’s economies of scale.

No, you go to the library

Does L space in the Discworld novels count?

I’d recommend starting by hosting a nextcloud instance.

1. Get a desktop computer, pretty much anything will do but having room to add more HDD is important.
2. Install Linux distro like Ubuntu or something
3. Get a static IP so your IP doesn’t change
4. Setup a router port forwarding rule so that an outside address points to your nextcloud instance.

Then do some optional steps:

• Automatically turn on PC when power comes back on (BIOS setting)
• Startup script that runs nextcloud on startup
• Install docker to manage services like nextcloud
• Add some remote desktop thingy to manage your server from your laptop (ssh is also good but a steeper learning curve)
• Get a NAS for storing data with redundancy.
• Have some other form of backup like your current Google account, cloud provider or one of your mates with a similar setup.

That’s pretty much what you need to start hosting your own files, then later on you can setup a email server, media server like Jellyfin, homepage and everything.

Just go one step at a time and when you hit an issue you can and should ask Google or ChatGPT. Remember, everything exposed to the Internet is vulnerable so take security seriously. Always have everything protected by a decently long password, pairing requirement with your server confirming adding a device or an API key.

When I need my fix of good news I go to iea.org and look at some graphs. I’m always thinking it should be faster but then again there’s hope for climate change and the world is transitioning despite how entrenched the fossil fuel industry is.

Here’s one on the investments being made:

I’m not, he’s not comparing cigarettes to social media, he’s saying that social media has replaced cigarettes as the vice of choice for young people.

Hes does compare it to Radium poisoning though.

Wow, I thought the reason Adobe wasn’t on Linux was something more difficult than “Needs dependencies, files and an installer”. Since Wine is LGPL they could literally just bundle it with the software in an installer.

It just makes me think about how Adobe just doesn’t want to the bare minimum for Linux support and force people to learn alternative tools.

“Way worse” is a comparison

Sounds like someone is trying to avoid regulating social media platforms.

How about “User must be subscribed to see an activity” so the algo doesn’t just roll you into a rabbit hole.

Subscriptions can still recommend other subscriptions and people can share stuff from their subscriptions but liking something shouldn’t qualify.

That’s an apples to oranges comparison. One is physical health and other mental health and both are hard to quantify

Most recently when I used Windows was because of work. I’ve been seeing these posts for a while now and I can make some valid arguments.

• Anti cheat games
• Adobe products (Web is not the same)
• MS Office desktop
• Work has processes linked to Windows specifically (server that only works on IIS Express maybe?)
• Big legacy codebase where they don’t match filename casing.
• Specific Visual Studio scripts or plugins for a DSL.
• Security requirements that need windows APIs (like mandating crowdstrike)
• Music production with a Ableton (it works but it’s not noob friendly).
• You have deep knowledge of Windows and getting up to speed on Linux would take a year without guarantees you have a comparable system.
• Your client is on Windows and you’re making a desktop Windows app that’s not cross platform.

Thankfully none of these apply to me so I’m on Linux but I can see how this is an issue.

I have mine set to “VIP Room” and live in an apartment building.

It depends on the distro. Bazzite might get in the way since it’s a more closed distro if you want to do docker stuff. I personally managed but setting up extra hard drives that docker (podman) uses, but it was tricky. You’ll not have issue browsing the Web or installing most apps though.

Nobara might be a good choice although the user base is not that big so you might have to migrate in a couple of years.

Otherwise I’d stick to regular distros since they have great support and will stick around for a long time such as Fedora or Kubuntu. I’ve also heard Endavour is really good these days.

You should consider choosing a distro based on the Wayland integration since you can get HDR fractional scaling and variable refresh rate with them.

Yeah, it’s very sad since I think people are more willing to vote Labour if they were just better. Now their voter base is more likely to stay at home instead of going to the voting booth. Weird move by Starmer since he was in the march against the Iraq war himself.
