I think there's more going on here than merely a piracy investigation, it just has that smell to it. But now that I see that RCN was acquired Nov 2020 (a pandemic acquisition) I'm back to agreeing that it's about RCN,…
Having spent some time living in Zurich I call bullshit on this; the streets and train stations are _deserted_ at 6am. Shops are still getting deliveries, coffee shops are still closed. No significant numbers of people…
> I think hotdesking/hoteling is worse than any desk move because you get to have the feeling of uneasiness and disruption daily. It's interesting to observe how many companies deliberately adopt policies which they…
I don't know if you want to hear this, but your bio comes off as prickly/activist and I personally wouldn't hire you because I get the impression you'd just use my company or platform as a horse to ride into battle for…
Why does Thunderbird need to support maildir? I just never understood this use case.
> Consumers value their time at $0 so they get free tools subsidized by intrusive ads I mean, I just use Thunderbird, but I'm sure there are ways to torture myself if I wanted to. 100% reliable contacts and calendars…
Is that Neal Stephenson there with the beard? In the 2nd pic?
I have bad eye floaters too, have you given any thought to a vitrectomy? I keep reading the literature and watching youtube videos, haven't made a final decision on it yet but am getting more tempted. Just wondering if…
I have seen a number of motorcycle delivery drivers in the city in which I live who have _two_ phones on holders on their scooters - one for the delivery app, one for tiktok. They jam up the traffic lights because they…

Politics and Wikipedia don't mix The 'talk' page of that article is completely empty and not a single one of the citations is in English. For all intents and purposes you're taking everything written there on pure faith…
Even in this age of LED-everything their lighting section is still stellar You love to see it
My experience of gateron blue switches is that they lose their click within months, which is very disappointing. Kailh box white switches on the other hand seem to click indefinitely and have a much more positive…

It's probably also all staged
The thing is, though, during the pandemic a lot of seemingly rational people became very odd and - to use a front 242 song title - gripped by fear. I've witnessed this with a member of my own extended family, a married…
Whatever you think of OpenAI and what they're doing, you can't deny that they have a drip marketing campaign that's simply legendary. It's just dominating the feeds.
Don't let your dreams be memes!

I have very little of substance to add beyond 'you should really think about it, and do it for your own reasons alone.' Kids aren't something you owe the world, and Idiocracy is just a movie.
Sorry, carried away etc.
The frog has jumped many times and no longer has anything to prove. Time for the other frog to put in some work.
I was thinking of Riven the other night, I'm surprised that they haven't been turned into browser-based games. Apparently the 3d assets of Riven were lost, which is a huge shame. The game was beautiful.
