I don't normally write this type of comment, but you are an absolute powerhouse and I'm so glad to see you pushing WebRTC, WebRTC+OBS, and playing the social game a bit to drum up support. WebRTC has so much potential, I have big

I read this thing three times, searched for every variant of "months" and "8" and "eight" I could think of and can't find a single thing that remotely indicates 100+ people dying from an unapproved vaccine

Similar concept, but NixOS + SM64: https://xeiaso.net/blog/super-bootable-64-2020-05-06 one file, declarative, can generate an image for a physical machine, single-command boot it in Qemu, etc. Well, two files, if you

ASUS laptops, as of 6.1, I think, have kernel support and a userspace CLI and GUI to trivially configure this stuff (`asusctl`). In Windows, you can use GHelper and avoid the hundreds of megabytes of gaudy crap that is Armory Crate to con

Not that I disagree with the spirit, X is dead, and someone demo'd Wayland apps on macOS at NixCon Paris.

Add Unihertz to the list. I'd love to buy a Jelly2 but not with their stock software. I don't understand the dynamics at play and it's hard to not get a bit conspiratorial..

Imagine being so triggered by any societal protective mechanism that you classify an IN-HOUSE team about ethical use of some technology as "leeches". I really, really have got to stop coming here. > Oh, you can't hire enou

Wait, there are people that think we're going to have real AGI without immediate disastrous consequences? That's... something.

This thread is FASCINATING to read -- My brand of Adderall changed recently. I even more recently decided to try going off of it. I miss it. Somewhere here wrote that it helped them be in touch with their emotions. I can give up the focus,

Oh no! Anyway... I can't be the only one sitting here going, "okay, fine?". Do I want individual devs screwed? NO! Do I want to watch this same cycle of bailouts play out AGAIN benefiting the capital class AGAIN because god f

I had to find the god damn CTO's email address to spam him a couple of times before my issue was fixed. I'm out of the country, I complete 4x $20 payments to a friend I'm visiting. I try to do the 5th and it wants to me to &q

I love when I call US financial institutes and are reminded that: 1. They insist on using voice menus that are only ever capable of servicing requests that I can already do online, or don't work because they're jammed up by the s

Well, one step would be some self-honesty about living within means. Throw out some numbers, let's talk about the specifics that no one here really wants to engage in. Someone with this perspective, please, help me understand - Give me

"I guess"? One month of tech salary would cover a studio rent and feed an adult human for a very, very, very, very long time. As I've touched on several times and NO ONE wants to really engage with, there's a lot of out

Wow! Good luck staying employed literally anywhere in the US or western world throwing any of those around. Sometimes it's really a wonder to imagine the world some people here seem to want to live in.

I think this is put rather bluntly, and I've still got a bit to go probably to where I would call myself my ideal weight, so I say this with a certain empathy... but I really agree that obesity falls into a different category than most

I'm sure financial stress takes a toll on couples. Just like in this case, some self-imposed sense of obligation and identity is taxing this man. It seems, probably, very artificially. And gasp, yes, younger generations are absolutely
