Ah, I missed that somehow. You are correct.

Metafilter does something like this, where you have to pay a fee to sign up.

More like the right to suppress history.

This makes me mad because I actually do like Windows. I don't understand the need to make it crappy considering their market share.

I do the same thing with Apple's Spotlight.

I don't mind H1B visas but I do worry about the amount of power it gives the employer over the workers who are under it. It just seems ripe for abuse.

In my opinion, there is no god or any other supernatural agents in the universe. There is no grand plan.

If there is a god then humanity is probably something akin to an ant farm to it. To expect god to care about any particular person is like trying to care about one particular ant in a colony.

I was under the impression that BitLocker does not default to being on, even with a Microsoft account. That's kind of dangerous if they have changed that without at least a warning.

I have wondered if there are matches between different people in DNA databases and, if so, how often is happens.

Personally, I would like an Amazon-only version of the store. I don't want to deal with third parties.

I feel bad for mice. We've solved so many of their health issues and they never get to benefit from them.

Telemetry by default should be illegal. They should be required to obtain owner permission.

I will forever be grateful for Bram's contribution to the world of free software and to humanity. I hope he will be remembered for a long time.

I stopped at a dispensary while visiting Illinois and they were only accepting cash there. I assumed that the banking and taxes were the reason why.

Joey Hess. The first time I heard his name, it was an article for Linux Journal, which was about managing your home directory in CVS. He went up to create Git-Annex, which I understand works well.

Turning Evernote into Nevernote.

Thanks to Reddit, I now use the Reddit mobile site instead of Apollo. It sucks in comparison.

Thank you.

When a new MacOS release comes out, one of the first things I look for is adds and changes to the command line tools. Sadly they are not the things that most people care about on a new release.

If someone was getting into this today, would you recommend Perl or Raku?

Very nice work!

I think the mention that upgrading your distro doesn't automatically enable a better KDF for LUKS is a good point.

I'm not saying that I think this should be the default, as I know many people love it, but I would like the option to buy a Thinkpad without the TrackPoint. I am just not a fan of it.

I had seen it both ways but I always think "Tom" as well.

I closed my account earlier this week. Between Musk’s erratic behavior, the fact that they aren’t paying their rent, and are trying to get out of contractual software licensing fees, I decided that it was time to go.

One of my favorite Prince songs.

I pretty much love all of the free-unix but dislike them for graphical use. I have generally stuck with Windows or MacOS for general desktop usage.

I've considered a combination setup of a terminal system for my unix needs and a tablet for web and video. ChromeOS would work well for this too, I think.

Back when I was ripping my collection to FLAC, I used EAC because of AccurateRip, which is something that cdparanoia did not offer - at least at that time.

I have too. I suppose that one could set up a headless chrome instance for that.

That's pretty much true of commercial software as well.
