Almost none of the discussion here accounts for time and growth. Almost all of us have had that moment where someone "argued" with us over something we were wrong about and unwilling to change at the time. Then later we…

IBM doesn't do technology they do contracts. Any "technology" is marketing stunts. They hire a bunch of "fellows" outside contractors to make a thing they can be first at or whatever, do the stunt, then get a bunch of…
Also anyone who gave two shits about security hated it because it was a security nightmare. Don't leave a hater out.
"From £64,189 p.a. depending on skills and experience" I maintained a collection of well organized rocks as a child. Surely that gets me a bit more than base pay right?
There are still individuals, who make up the company, who have to read and try to formulate responses to said abusive behavior. It's usually the lower paid support staff not the engineers or C suite who have those…
The replies here are horrifying. Yes corporations are not people. But they are made up of people. I'd imagine most here work in them yourselves. Often less well paid support staff who have to read, and try to respond,…
I call this "dev think". Blames user for not thinking ahead when they themselves haven't thought ahead about how users use things. It's everywhere these days, as an end user of things myself, it's maddening.
If you setup meshtastic for the love of all that is holy reindex your channels so the public channel is 1 instead of 0. Range tests default to 0. The public channel in my area is regularly spammed with range test and is…
There's a whole lot of people who want software to do certain things but whos job isn't programming and life requirements don't allow the time for all the book reading, tutorial running, and practice to write useful…
Edge cases? There's a long history of brand new triple A games running poorly or not at all on Windows. Evstablished games have plenty of problems. There are millions on millions of support pages, forums, and the deep…
This! It blows my mind every bank doesn't have a sort of scripting language of some sort that let's me automate whatever I want to happen. I've seen a few services that supposedly enable this but their prone to…
For every purchase you make as a gateway there's a vendor account on the other end receiving that money and required to do accounting with it (like issuing refunds) which requires keeping a balance. These are the people…
I think they think that's converted by streaming unfortunately.
Can confirm. I live in a US city and the only 9 involved is maybe the very first number. I've lived here just over a year and we've had 1 full day without power and probably 8 to 10 short outages between a few seconds…
Does symbolism elicit emotion? I hope that's sarcasm. Let's ask some folks about gold stars and swastika and and and...
>I've been running my own mail services for close to 30 years now... There's the rub. 30 years ago this was true. Old systems have been grandfathered in. A combination of rising spam and things like fraud via email have…
Seems like a lot of comments here are US centric. As if Canonical and Suse don't exist and aren't Europe based/focused? Also a lot of arguments that MS provides some total package which is irreplaceable which just isn't…
The benefit to folks who flash devices frequently is obvious. However, joe user, the other 3 billion or so users couldn't care less. Poking holes in the sandbox for those folks is negligent at best. Perhaps the solution…
Not a new concept. If you aren't paying you are the product. Increasingly capitalism demands the product also pay. Buckle up, late stage capitalism continues.
Software support being hand hold-y is nice and all but entirely pointless if the hardware isn't performant enough to run the workloads you want/need.
I assume that's an autocorrect for Proxmox. There is/was a Proxmox porting attempt out there. I use Orange Pi 5 Plus in my home lab and I've found their builds of Debian are rock solid though a bit sus hosted in a…
This is a general problem. Why's and how's. Or in project management, and what should be associated documentation, process and procedures. In this case code is procedure or how. The steps to do the thing. Which is great…
Isn't this the problem Brave browser set out to solve? It's just that they did it with cryptocurrency so everyone shunned it. https://brave.com/brave-rewards/
This sort of thing is a dang nightmare. Perk your mouse in the wrong place or scroll and stop at the wrong place with your mouse over the page and all of a sudden you're not reading what you were reading. This is…
