Can't wait for this company to be public and to be subject to the whims of shareholders chasing profit.

Open source is the best. That doesn't mean the recommendation to move off 60hz isn't profit motivated. Especially when driving displays at over 60hz means selling more graphics cards since your older one may not go far beyond 60.

I don't deny it might feel foreign to someone using iOS daily for decades. But that's not the statement. The statement was that iOS does things like upgrades, backup restoration, and value retention better, which just isn't true anymore.

I use both, actually, because Android tablets in my experience have been pretty disappointing, so I'm pretty familiar with both ecosystems.

This sounds like something that hasn't been true for 5-10 years tbh. At least not within the Pixel family. I upgrade phones without a single hiccup. My older phones are still around and used daily by my kids with no problema. I've had to wipe a phone and restore from the cloud backup and it was a matter of minutes to be usable, and was effectively like nothing had happened as soon as my apps and their data finished downloading.

Bigly untrustworthy

Don't worry, we do get to sell our excess energy back to the grid. I can earn a very generous fixed 2.8 cents per kWh that I generate, but have the privilege of paying no less than 7 cents, but up to 25c at peak, per kWh.

Oh and somehow my peak hours are different than they were before I had solar. Because the grid struggles to produce power at different times for different people.

It's super frustrating.

Except when it's BGP.

I used the destroyers to destroy the destroyers. It nearly killed me.

A note on the page warns, “Shutterstock does not review AI-generated content for compliance with Shutterstock’s content compliance standards.” Adding that users must not generate imagery that is “false, misleading, deceptive, harmful, or violent.”

If you're up for pgp and git, gnu password store is a killer app. There are a few guis, including Android and iOS, and if you use gopass there's a nice plugin for browsers as well. And it's ultimately just two tools that are both solid and generally well known.

Well to be fair, most AI workloads are on Linux and that's a huge fraction of their sales. But desktop Linux, yeah, not going to notice at all.

I think it means you probably use software they contribute to even if you don't pay them.
