This is an incredibly silly thing to say. If someone makes a knife that is terrible at carving wood or cutting food but is the perfect shape for, say, clitorectomies... then maybe that tool is bad and we should probably…
I never listened to the podcast, but I see where you're coming from and thanks for doing it anyway. Twenty years ago I was in university and had a Debian install on a cheap-ass Acer laptop and I managed to get exactly…
CachyOS is not an immutable distro.
In the terminology of the article - which I enjoyed and recommend that you read when you get time - these friends of yours are not 'poor', they are 'broke'.

Absolute bullshit title. The USA has stopped making one-cent coins, and they don't even call them pennies in any meaningful way. The "last-ever" penny will not be minted until that final coin has been minted by: The…
Now assume there were no such regulations and factor in the time it takes to actually plan, build, and commission a new power station and associated grid infrastructure. I'm not sure that your distinction matters in any…
Name one.
There is something about an argument made almost entirely out of metaphors that amuses me to the point of not being able to take it seriously, even if I actually agree with it.
This, as a few other commenters have mentioned, is a terrible article. For a start, the article does not mention any other database. I don't know how you can say something is read or write heavy without comparing it to…
Not directly related to this new Atuin feature, but I need to vent: Last week I was trying to `find` something in some directories, failed, `cd`d to my home directory and instinctively hit up-arrow+return to run the…
If you think the Dutch are Nords, then I would ask you to learn more English.
More awkward for Sony, maybe, as this is showing more support for PSVR2 than they have in a while.

Last year I decommed our last couple of servers that ran processes configured using runit. It was a sad day. I first learned to write runit services probably about 15 years ago and it was very cool and very…
I think this is the most reasonable take I've seen here. As my sibling comment mentions, people are already doing this. I think that - if anything - my point is that this is being done, but separately to the social…

Was going to post this on a now-deleted comment about anticheat being a hard problem, so popping it here because it might be relevant: Anticheat is only hard because people are looking for a technical solution to a…
I think the correct solution would be to make parents responsible for actually using those controls, as they always have been for controlling a child's access to such materials in other media. For example, if you have a…
