I was using a Fedora release with the 6.10 kernel, and I experienced frequent logouts and restarts, almost once per day. It's nice to see that others were having similarly poor experiences.

Does anybody know about the legality of using Eminem's "Gozilla" as promotional material[1] for this service? I thought you had to pay artists for a license before using their work in promotional material. [1] https:/&#

I get where you're coming from, but I think it's important to keep in mind that there is no centralized score for Chinese citizens, and that such claims are often sensationalized. [1] However, I'd agree that China is a good e

I also have a QR code in a photo widget. It takes me < 2 seconds to unlock my phone and swipe once on the home screen, and there's usually a delay as people pull out their camera, but there are a couple advantages: 1. People spell m

Just to add to the sample size, I abandoned Reddit as it got increasingly user-hostile, and I have been enjoying the fediverse. There's a lot of cool hackers on there, and I feel like I have a really good signal:noise ratio. Sorry to h

Interesting! I didn't know they were the same person, but coming from a queer perspective, I'm inclined to just treat people as they ask to be treated. If someone is doing impressive work, I think it's important to respect th

I think it's reasonable to restrict pornography on a device intended to be used for AR in public. From Apple's perspective, it's important that using the device in public doesn't have a stigma. Otherwise, we don't n

That's great! It has a similar selection UI to https://www.when2meet.com/ , but has much better mobile support. It'd be nice to have a mode for scheduling weekdays in the abstract (e.g. I'm free on Thursdays

As someone born in 2004, these books made Ham Radio seem so fun and engaging to me, and definitely were a part of me getting my license. I hope that my bodged together projects would have made the gang proud. I would love to see a book seri
