Loved my OnePlus One and ran nightlies of Cyanogenmod on it for quite a while. I had that bamboo wood backing on the phone that was really nice to the touch. Premium feel and a hacker phone. It was quality and lasted for many years. I got i

WINE via Crossover Linux has become very good. Also webapp versions of Office apps are mostly there and respectable if used in mixed environments. WSL is okay but you are better going full Linux as host. Linux Mint is a good platform for mo

Great thread that illustrates the mess. Some AI generated steps that are nonsense (there are no settings as mentioned) then everyone mentioning contacting the carrier.

Lasercats that was briefly on the old theatre on Divisadero remains a favorite. This was like 15 years ago. https://mergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/xndqw-full.jpg

I realize this might be a trap but will bite anyway. I would suggest you should be the person you would want as a resource and help but to others. Do it to genuinely be helpful and not transactional. Others will notice and you will build a

This article is a great example of the Strawman Fallacy. I suppose it's a method to generate traffic but I would argue a key aspect of servant leadership is being transparent that you are in a role that should collectively support and

There you go - "is there a big amount of companies in a specific sector that are valued far above their returns". If that answer is yes, that means we are in a speculative bubble." Pretty much.

Totally, I think this is more of what the general population are speaking around in discussions of "bubbles"

Okay - that is too extreme of a "bubble" definition for me. False dilemma. So, then, I guess, nothing is a bubble for you. For me, a more reasonable definition is a large build-up of capital that, at some point, snaps or pops, the

I appreciate the author trying to address this. The only issue is the author didn't define what 'pops' in the bubble. The 'what' that pops, probably, IMHO, is the investment and resources ecosystem dumped, poured, t

Used to love Synology and had a NAS from them, but it EOL'd and it was a shame since the hardware and drives were fine. I went to TrueNas and have been extremely happy and never looked back.

I like and appreciate the authors points but just wish they would have done more with the connection of the two. You might be valued because you are many things. You might not be valued because of many things. If you are able to be useful a

They are awful often for me. Examples - recommending installation of packages and software that doesn't exist, or settings changes that don't exist I In applications, etc. They fill the page but it's sadly noise so it cheapen

Switching to Linux is not easy. You almost have to hit a wall when you are just done with the bargaining to keep something like Apple or Windows. It kind of takes a major jump. You also need to be persistent after that jump and not retrench
