Probably downvoted for resorting to juvenile name-calling when someone else didn't diagnose and fix a problem in your local installation of a free software project for you.

From what I can tell, HOA experiences - like politics - are highly dependent on the folks who would make good decision-makers actually being interested in, and attaining, the level of power in the association to make those decisions. I&#x27

Maybe - but if it's not handled by the school, then there's going to be some sort of access problem for some kids. Transportation, time to do it, financial for the parents, etc.

Counter-counterargument: "So as long as there is good documentation" feels a bit like relying for success on the least important deliverable to people funding a project, and least interesting process step to people building it, go

The whole thing feels very "old school Internet" in a way - a bunch of misfits with a manifesto and an intentionally simple website. It sounds like they were never able to bridge the gap of turning the casual interest of folks exp

Disappointing that a website that touts itself for, among other things, "Open Source News", is missing the core definition issue in that headline: what is at issue here has zero to do with how open or closed the source code is. It

What % of those sysadmins are then going to turn around and script something to auto-approve those updates, once they realize that they are A) requested at inconvenient times and B) are related to security? Who's going to take the risk

I agree that false advertising would upset me...what on that Proton "impact" page is actually false, though? And in what way would FastMail not be impacted by analogous events? https://www.itnews.com.au/news/f

The in-depth information on the website appears to be this link: https://www.grc.com/files/technote.pdf Which, while not directly dated in the content of the document, references a "screaming Pentium II 333 MHz&qu

This article didn't read like character assassination to me, personally - most of the time spent on GRC/SpinRite (after the overall topic of disk recovery is introduced) seems to be either observations about Gibson's style wi

IMO "made easy" would involve connecting everything single concept in calculus immediately to the whole reason it exists - physics. I made the mistake of taking algebra-based physics, then calculus, and only after the calculus cou

I understand the argument for national security. Having said that...where's the accountability if what they build is terrible? Where's the return to the investor (the public) if they succeed? I'm not saying the government sho

Agreed, the only time I ever saw OKRs work in my professional life was a (sadly) brief ~6 month period during which cascading OKRs were strictly enforced from CEO down. I suspect folks don't like that because it forces middle managemen

I could see desktop Linux being higher than ChromeOS if what's being tracked is activity at websites that ChromeOS' target audience wouldn't often visit - which to your point, leads to the question of what the denominator is

The savegame situation was part of what made me less interested in my Switch over time - I just didn't want to invest much time in any long-term games where I couldn't actually back up the savegames in any direct way. Now it gets

That's fair, although IMO it's additionally fair to be skeptical of making a long-term commitment to products/services that aren't funded in ways that permit long-term product planning and reasonably-paced development ba
