A PM I've worked with many times always used to say, "They want an easy button! It's that simple!."

Swedish foreign policy and neutrality originates from all the wars they fought against Russia prior to the 1800s.

Seems like the social and commerce aspects are drawing scrutiny. I think MS will escape unscathed here

wow... yeah... strongly strongly agree. I love email, rss, irc, etc and still use them today and strongly disagree that we shouldn't educate people coming up about these tools.

Can you provide some more info about the raspberry pi and Ubuntu config changes done without user consent?

It's very easy for people today to forget the 1800s that had significant periods of deflation and thus one of the reasons the federal reserve was created... although they allowed deflation to happen during the great depression as well.

I was very happy to see this tool mentioned and recommend it highly. Very nice tool to add album art and cleaning up the tags for your existing music

Had the same experience and the compose equivalent was barely functional.

Couldn't agree more. compose is a wonderful tool that lets you avoid the k8s complexity if you don't need it.

Heavy compose user here, and when I tried the podman equivalent of compose was missing some functionality that made me move back.

Curious how is CPU architecture abstracted away more macOS than any other OS?

Have to agree. 280 characters is not that much better than 140, and what good ideas are compressed into that format. Sure you can link to a blog post, but then you might as well use rss.

Agree with this and this is why everytime I see people suggesting some project should be moved from being hosted on a mailing list to github, I roll my eyes

because this just seems like change for the sake of change

Definitely agree with this. Twitter and other social media has really forced the short 140 character snippet or image to be favored over thoughtful posts and blog articles.

As a swedish expat for most of life, it's always struck as very strange the American insistence on personal responsibility and railing against the nanny state, yet public schools are treated like jails for children. Going to the bathr

Amazon would seem to me like the much easier target with the sketchiness around AmazonBasics

Most of the places I know of or where friend's work use Atlassian. I am wondering if this will drive a shift towards GitLab considering the general consensus I've heard is that GitHub Enterprise is too expensive.

I don't agree that centralization in Europe is the answer, that's exactly how you end up relying on others manufacturing capacity. Decentralize more so when the political winds change you are not at the mercy of other countries i

The cloud is just another backup option and you should have 3. That being said, you expect more from a paid service.

and let's not forget the touch bar.... Urgh. Still holding onto my 2015 MacBook from work and hoping it never dies.

so funny considering the history of 230 and how prodigy was the inspiration for it because they modded user posts

Agreed. All countries want to be seen as leaders, and this can nudge them in the right direction.

My local library is wonderful. My kid has activities, learns reading, draws, etc. and it offers computer skills to those who wouldn't otherwise learn them. Very good use of local tax dollars.

Feels like there has been a bit of a resurgence lately, not that I have any hard data to back that up. The major players ie google and now apple have dumped it, but most blogs and news sites still have rss feeds.
