I have never understood addiction either. My whole life I’ve been told that I am addicted to “computers” or video games, because I spent so much time on it. But frankly there wasn’t much better to do and it’s just a hobby, passion that now

Literally the first paragraph: > Forgejo is self-hostable free software for software development, built on top of Git. Codeberg is powered by Forgejo, which is in turn a hard-fork of Gitea. Compared to Codeberg, Forgejo is not one servic

Many email providers and third party security tools default settings automatically bounce or block SPF failures, no matter what DKIM says... so no, not using SPF completely is a bad idea. Using it minimally is correct, thou. Route outbound

Writing custom scripts in PAWN and then later mods, hacks and cheats for CLEO was my personal gateway into coding. Most RP servers were so nepotistic, so that was my way of getting back and fighting the "system". Fun times, do not

I speak as I think and I type and as I speak, so I do uses em-dashes. It’s a shame that it’s now a brand of low quality AI-generated content.

And look where that got Germany; my hometown and neighbouring towns are mostly on ADSL or rarely VDSL if you’re lucky, because the big players don’t want anything to do with the cost and legal side. Local municipalities establish de-facto

There is unfortunately no formula for it, apart from, play the game that senior management wants to be played. I’d say, stick to your guns and find a job that supports your morales, not the other way around.

Any image in this position would be distracting. However, I have never understood notions like this: “it is juvenile and impertinent. The Court is not a cartoon” Is like my great grandpa scolding us at the dinner table for laughing and talk

Control panel is bad. The alternatives are worse. Prepare to have your settings gated behind several menus you have to navigate through!

And even then it happens to ignore context or queries from start or halfway through. I'd rather spend the time coding then trying to bruteforce it to give me the answer I need.

It would be only a relief for a symptom and not actually curing the cause.

The best advice I can give people who struggle to claim something from an airline and get exhausted of getting rejected, use flightright.com. (No - not affiliated with them) I had a claim rejected and initially it was rejected when flightri

It baffles me how screwed the system is. It’s an exaggeration, but you have to be genuinely afraid to found a company with Apple in their name. “Apple Farm” might get sued by Apple. There should be a better process that involves a neutral p

(Not American) We think units that are used in different countries/cultures/continents are weird, because we’re not used to it. I can get behind the Fahrenheit bit, being more “human-readable” but for me 30C will always be hot.

I wish she would’ve gone into more detail on why it’s bad, why it’s so frightening. I know the answer; but many don’t, and no one of the videos posted, gave any good insight on why this is scary. Call out the problem! Seems like most of the
