I hate that it seems the only authors I can really dig into fiction-wise is PKD and Douglas Adams. Something about their fast paced style, loose/weird tech, psychedelic, not too serious (well PKD still has some definite seriousness; b

There should be a conflict resolution to gracefully degrade the third level to 2nd level when there is no competing name on the second level. But I didn't think about the 1st level competitors. There'd still need a mechanism to r

Probably not, but my closest bet would fall to Hanlon's razor: I was curious if this was continued evidence of poor appropriations and upkeep or what... I do see "U.S. military commissary refrigeration maintenance, equipment repl

I don't know how much I can trust you on Zuse if you can't get basic facts about de Beauvoir right: Simone de Beauvoir did not have a "future is female" plan, as the modern slogan "The Future is Female" origina

I've just started getting into emacs and am almost done with what I think is my final config (just adding vertico, consult and marginalia, haven't added them all, but got vertico and consult working in a mostly default state, stil

Thanks for the clarification! It makes much more sense seeing the term "macro".

For desktop I think it would be fine, though if you have the advanced needs of all the ZFS features I would stick with ZFS, but I had no problem. The real problem I had was a low limit to save history. I install a lot of software, Cachy wo

I'm not very good at math, and I read quantum physics in lay-books, but I would like to say that whoever wrote the article did a good job leading to where it was going (even if maybe not clear to me), I ended up thinking "Square r

Messing more with it, it seems to be related to the combo of sRGB being less bright/contrast than the non-sRGB modes, thus not enough to see the dots... Zooming in (ctrl-wheelup) on the page causes it to disappear after the dots scale

Yeah that could be. Plenty of issues could cause it (though I am using KWin as compositor). Maybe it's fixed by now, or just a glitch on my end. EDIT: This is weird. My monitor has different modes including sRGB. I had it in a gam

Not about BSD, but anybody else using side tabs in FF with that site? Somehow the rendering of that dashed line at the top runs across into the "pinned tabs" section. (Linux/Wayland/Debian). Curious if anyone else is s

I remember first coming across him on ZDTV/TechTV, then realizing he also wrote articles in some of those magazines I had bought. But mostly I just saw him as the resident tech curmudgeon. Haha, yeah. "Gigabit Ethernet. Even

Infinite scroll/death of the page as model is one of the reasons we're at where we are. Plus iPhone, plus share button, and of course ads and data harvesting and siloed walls.

My friend had the Master System, so I got to experience the first two, and loved the dome shaped buildings it had going on. Another friend had a Dreamcast and had pondered getting Phantasy Star Online, but never did. Anyways, I'm glad

Not everyone has the luxury you do. Can you imagine if everyone who had to put up with this bullshit for shit wages, did what you said. Good luck with services.

Ugh - our local paper used to have a wonderful archive, that got limited and locked down after the pandemic. IDK if they got bought out, but it's a real shame, I think some of the problem is things that used to be public information (
