"Entrepreneurs construct, perform, and protect illusory appearances (façades) that externally project high-growth performance to audiences while masking ventures’ actual underperformance." This would accurately describe a some of

Cars have become obscenely expensive and auto makers seem to be incorporating more and more planned obsolescence into their designs, so I've decided I'm just going to keep driving my aging car for as long as I can and maybe just g

It sounds like the author had an amazing partner and I'm sorry for his loss.

I set up my homelab server running NixOS entirely using Claude and what would have likely taken me months (if not years) doing it the old fashioned way, got reduced to a few hours of back and forth iteration.

I'm pretty certain the execs who run the large AI companies would limit their children's AI usage also.

So eliminate their bargaining power and job and wage protections because parents aren't doing their part to ensure their kids are learning? Doesn't seem fair to me.

People want to be addicted to fentanyl after they’ve tried it a few times, does that mean we should legalize that too?

Meanwhile in the States, their government is doxxing the victims and masking the identities of the perpetrators.

I often wonder whether the folks at Apple have the Asahi team on their radar. Are they in awe of the reverse engineering marvels coming out of the Asahi project, or are they indifferent to it?

I wanted to go all-in on Guix but the installation process was made too difficult due to the lack of non-free software available during install time. I wish they would take the Debian approach and leave it up to the user to decide which pac

I've found openSUSE MicroOS to be a great homelab server OS.

Now I get what the folks using FreeBSD typically like to point to as a reason why they prefer FreeBSD over Linux because there is a clear distinction between the base system and userland.

If Apple doesn't have the sense to reply to this in a sensible manner then that company is in far worse shape than I thought.

The emergency response system is broken in many areas. I once dialed 911 in Los Angeles seeking help for a motorist and was put on hold for 8 minutes. A lot can happen in that time.

I run OPNsense (based on FreeBSD) for my home router/firewall and it's amazing what it can do compared to the typical home router.

I'm so glad the chorus seems to be getting louder over just how bad things have gotten with Apple's software stack. This piece has been mainly centered on UI/UX but it's also really bad when it comes to functionality as

I know the gentleman who runs the Distrotube channel on YouTube is/was an Xmonad user and it would be great if he made the call for help on his show to reach a wider audience.

I used to tinker with a bunch of different Linux desktop environments and had a hard time deciding on which one to standardize on because there is something to love about all of them. I suffered from major analysis paralysis as a result. In

I love Debian and have a tremendous amount of respect for the people who work on the project. I no longer use Debian, but I think it's vitally important to have an anchor Linux distribution which isn't overly reliant on a for-pro

All the more reason to switch to Signal. I use Signal and donate to the non-profit behind it every year because my privacy is worth protecting.

Every time I try to use NixOS I start off excited about all the benefits it can provide, but it always ends up frustrating me in some way and I'm reminded of why distributions exist in the first place. I don't want to have to dig

I'm not an open source maintainer or even a dev, but it seems bonkers to me that with all the numerous distributions out there, all facing the same problem of package management, that they couldn't just refocus their combined effo

This is disappointing news. The Save to Pocket feature was one of the core features of Firefox that kept me using it. It feels like Mozilla is circling the drain lately.

For me, the bootc project is one of the most exciting things happening in Linux right now. It would be nice if projects like Debian adopt it as one possible delivery format for those who prefer the atomic containerized workflow way of doing
