One-to-one calls won't work on web Teams for me using Firefox, but group calls will, for some reason.
I mean, it's the only meaningful way of punishing the company/site. It becomes unusable, people don't contribute anything further because it stops being a hub/valuable site, and eventually their costs outweigh their…
The incentive to contribute is based on the potential return of social currency (prestige, togetherness, etc). If it's evident that you won't generate enough currency to outweigh enriching Reddit, why bother?
I go to a Dollar Store fairly frequently in my city, and it's just a nightmare due to self-checkout: one physical cashier open with anyone over 50 lining up to use, and another overworked worker dealing with errors in…
Isn't it wondrous what lobbying can do?
It's always uncomfortable with a new therapist because they lack the context to know what you're going through, for how long, and the factors that are affecting it. I've seen mine for over a decade at this point, and…
It's a US election year /tinfoil
Learning how to import bulbs into HomeAssistant, or learning how to flash different firmware onto bulbs has been a difficult (yet kinda fun?) way to give myself peace of mind about that. Having that all run on NAS has…

Learning how to self-host things on Docker and a NAS has been a lifesaver for me. Almost every SAAS I've wanted to use at a consumer level has an open-source equivalent on Docker that I can reverse-proxy to access from…

>Pick a smaller town In Canada, good luck getting non-dialup if you move too far out. Getting decent Internet service is harder when you go remote.
This site is a bunch of ex-Gawker, ex-Vox and ex-Vice people submitting articles en masse to places like Reddit and HN. Why would it have anything of substance?
Prime USED to remove ads site-wide, but that was shuttered. Turbo will probably go away sometime in the future as well, as it's mostly there to offer a product for developing markets where Prime doesn't exist yet. I…
Or they'll find a massive brain drain, unless you find some non-authoritarian way to leave. China probably has a lot of netizens that want to experience the rest of the Internet, or game more than two hours a night, but…

Ah, the "two-stick FPS? this will never work" game.
Everyone misses Rdio.

Algorithm priority, potential of earning money, Tweetdeck, 2FA, other features.
I think this gets exacerbated with the "we're a family!" culture of employee in-groups. Feeling like a company is your home amplifies the disappointment and feeling of betrayal when the CEO decides to sell.

I'd definitely recommend the Patlabor TV show if "slice of life, police procedural with mechs" is something that feels attractive to you.
I don't have a family, but self-hosting Actual Budget via Docker helped me provide a budget app for my friends who I converted to YNAB4, and who I didn't want to point to subscribing to "New YNAB" which is less useful.…
