Because it is the default desktop for at least the three biggest Linux distributions.

Why is it the default? Because GNOME was GPL when KDE depended on the non-free Qt, a long time ago. That is no longer relevant but it was the basis for it being blessed as default.

I too use GNOME, not because I particularly like it, but because Linux lets me be productive right out of the box with a minimum of fuss and therefore I want to stay close to default. But I dread every major update where I have google some obscure configuration options just to leave my productivity alone.

See I somewhat agree with you, but you have a limited perspective in a way, that maybe as a gay man I can help expand on without being shouted at for being MRA trash just because I notice things.

You say "video games allow you to shoot and stab thousands of virtual people", this isn't true. In actuality, video games allow you to shoot & stab thousands of virtual _men_. Replace the baddies in a game with women and or children and people will go mental.

Same thing with media; Television/movies - plenty of men are brutally gored on screen with no one batting an eye, but generally the camera will cut away if there's violence against women &| children. The only time you do see it is when they want to make a very strong impact ie "this guy killing this woman is a V E R Y bad guy, and you know that because it's not just some anonymous dude he's goring".

There's plenty of hypocrisy in it; Game of Thrones people famously complained about the Cersei rape scene (also in the books, although more ambiguous) meanwhile the average episode spends a good portion of the time showing us the insides of three dozen guys' ribcages.

Or Altered Carbon where in the book series where Takeshi is forced into a simulation as a woman, where he is tortured; media at the time said they were glad that it didn't make it into the show because it would be "mysogynistic torture porn" - apparently none of the gratuitous violence against male characters was considered to be bad.

And _that's_ why it's different. Because certain types of porn could be generated that infringe in the protected classes that society creates.

Whatever is going on, Stripe's behavior looks erratic and unpredictable based on OP's post. I would sure as hell avoid them.
>Overall, the report concludes that the main culprit in all bicycle (regular and electric) injuries was the rider’s own behavior (44 percent) — a steering error, for example — while 32 percent was road conditions. And the majority of these accidents affected only the rider. Two-thirds of the 110,000 traffic victims treated in Dutch hospitals last year were cyclists, VeiligheidNL says. The survey was conducted with hospitalized riders between July 2020 and June 2021.

This is in Netherlands - Mecca of bicycle infrastructure.

I mean how is this even controversial - riding on two wheels vs driving on 4 between a steel cage is inherently more dangerous - you have to be a zealot to deny that.

I have a small K3S cluster of RPIs and a Synology NAS. I don't trust the RPIs to store any meaningful data so I use the NAS to store and backup everything. The cluster can request persistent volumes and they are automatically created and exposed via NFS by the NAS.

On the NAS, it's mostly storage services:

- MinIO (S3 compatible)
- Postgres
- InfluxDB
- Syncthing
- Plex (NAS has hardware encoding)
- Print/scan server
- Cloud Sync to Backblaze

On the cluster, all the "compute" services:

- Traefik and cert manager to expose the services with HTTPS, both on the NAS and the cluster
- Accounting service to invoice clients
- Mayan EDMS to store and process the documents of my LLC. It was a pain to setup but it offers OCR and an API to search document content.
- Home Assistant and mosquitto that I just started using. I'm playing with ESPHome to integrate some CO2 sensors.

On the unusual things on my network:

- A LaMetric time that I use to push my own notifications
- A RPI connected to speakers that I use as a pulseaudio server when I want to put music (`pactl load-module module-tunnel-sink server=tcp:x.x.x.x`)
- A RPI with a 64x64 led matrix from Adafruit that I want to use like an on-air sign.
It's not possible to fry without oil or another type of grease, and that's by definition.
Did you notice that to use your air fryer you need to use oil anyway? There's a fantastic debunking video on YouTube about that. Unfortunately it's in Italian only.

A "fave" of mine is that library loading on both Windows and Linux won't tell you if a dependency of a library is missing, which dependency it is. So you load libfoo and get a "file not found" error - but for which file?
"Maybe there's a data leak & they use it without telling people,..."

Yes. ...And it'll take major data leaks of medical records put online by hackers before government takes note and fixe# it.

You can bet the moment some very prominent politician's medical records are put online for all the world to see the details of his piles operation and the fact that he's being treated for gonorrhea that legislation will then follow.
As noted above, I recently bought a new Apple Pencil, which came in:

Double-walled outer box with one end glued shut

Double-walled inner box solidly glued together

Pencil in a molded paper(?) tray glued into the inner box (on top of a supporting frame of cheaper cardboard)

Instruction manual in its own slim double-walled box

The outer box is still fairly small, but it’s super dense packaging!

I think the Pencil itself had a paper-y protective wrapping too.

The whole outer box was also wrapped in plastic, if I remember right (rather than just a sticker holding it closed).
Can I ask which programmable keyboard you went for?

That's what it's revealing - the actions of the black box binary.
From the paper: "In electrocaloric devices, electric fields of ≈200 MV m^−1 are common (more than 50 times as large as the dielectric strength of air) and can only be generated by applying voltages across micrometer-sized films in the kilovolt range.
...
In the ionocaloric device, the applied field is ~0.22 V, which is relatively modest.
...
For additional perspective, some high-efficiency aqueous vanadium redox flow batteries operate at 800 mA cm^−2; the ionocaloric device operated at ≈0.5 mA cm^−2 for its highest-efficiency results. If, for example, it operated at 800 mA cm^−2, like in the aqueous system, the cooling power output would be equal to 9.2 kW L^−1."

It's fairly common for articles like the one linked to be written by the lab's communications department, who may or may not be familiar with the subject at hand.
I feel like we see these posts weekly.
Nah, compare violence in media by sex/age breakdown of the victim. Excluding sexual stuff completely, it's many, many orders of magnitude more acceptable to show the gory killing of a male character on screen than it is to show the same of a woman or child.

There are all of these unwritten but extremely obvious rules that dictate what is acceptable & what is not.
What are you going to move to now that Gitpod has retired self hosting?
Of course they do. Their APIs are just way worse and documentation can be really bad as you have to connect to decades-old systems. But once it's up and running they will honor their agreement.

The current decentralized trend ("web3", etc.) becoming mainstream is a pipe dream only tech enthusiasts care about. The sad reality is that it has very slim chances of ever gaining mass adoption. The general public and non-technical users couldn't care less about owning and managing their data, running their own services, paying for services, and everything that entails. Even if they're aware that their privacy is being violated and that their personal data is sold on shady adtech markets, they see it as a cost worth paying for in exchange for the services they get for "free".

So even if all these technical solutions to problems only technical users care about become as easy to use for laypeople as modern web browsers are, the general public just won't care about it.

I've long believed that the blame for this lies mostly on early WWW architects. If the focus from the very start had been on sharing content as much as it was on consuming it, and user-friendly tools analogous to the web browser had been built, then the general public would be educated that the web works by being in control of your data, and sharing it selectively with specific people, companies, or the world. ISPs would be forced to deliver symmetrical connections to enable this, centralized services would be much less influential, and the web landscape would look much different today.

This was actually planned as a second phase in the original HyperText proposal[1], but was never completed for some reason. I'd be very interested to know what happened to this effort. If someone has insider knowledge, or can contact TBL, I'd be very grateful.

Alas, it's too late for this now. The centralized web is how most people experience the "internet", and that train has no chance of stopping.

I would offer a bit of a different take. When you get some scale, you can start to offer real benefit packages. You have a real career path. In many of these subscale ops there is just owner and workers, in stasis.

And fundamentally in a market where the talent is tight, you HAVE to treat your people well to keep the lights on.

I truly believe there is a giant untapped value creation potential for tradesfolk. What I see is the gap is basic "management" of the business. It is really hard for "doers" to become managers and leaders. And of course, these industries are not known for leveraging technology. (I mean, if your HVAC guy used a scheduling app he'd automatically be in the top 5%!)
I'd believe it. The Amish are very healthy.

I got the Netatmo Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitors. They are somewhat expensive, but I got a good deal, 69 EUR a piece. They also monitor temperature, air humidity and noise levels.
There seems to be a certain consensual hallucination that happens with these acquisitions. The acquirer says "you're amazing, you do great work, we don't want to change a thing, you'll still be completely autonomous, we'll just help you accelerate". And there's a good reason for it, the employees came to work for Slack, not Salesforce and if they all quit then the acquisition will have been a waste. So Salesforce makes all the same promises, but at the end of the day there's reality. The second Salesforce bought Slack, Slack ceased to exist, and all the workers now work for Salesforce. There's no culture clash between Slack and Salesforce. There's a Slack culture that once existed, and now there's Salesforce culture the company those workers now work at. You can embrace it, you can be unhappy, and you can leave. But remember, you're at Salesforce now and those other 70,000 workers - they joined the Salesforce culture, not the Slack culture and they sure as hell didn't buy you because of your culture.

And all those promises about Slack being independent and autonomous? Well sure, that was the plan, but now Slack is a part of Salesforce and Salesforce makes decisions that make sense for Salesforce, not Slack. So no, you don't get your own sales team, and no, you don't get your own customer support team. You're part of Salesforce now, it doesn't make sense. Oh and no, you aren't going to get the benefits you were getting at Slack, you don't work at Slack, you work at Salesforce, and hey! Some of those benefits may genuinely be better. Those HR reps that sorted all your perks at Slack? They're working in a Salesforce HR department now (if they weren't fired) and they're working to give you the Salesforce benefits.

It's a tough message but when someone buys the company you work for, you no longer work at the old company, you work at the new company, no matter what anyone says.
I’m really jaded towards guitar solos but that solo always makes me stop whatever it is I’m doing. The song plods on and on and is a bit boring but the solo just bursts out of it and wakes you up out of the trance induced by what’s going on around it.
Very similar to my setup! I really like my Beelink, I was initially sceptical because it was so cheap.

I run Pi-Hole, Tailscale, Photoprism, Syncthing, and Terraria, amongst other things.
I too bought my first pair of wireless earbuds (One Plus) last year. I'm really amazed how well these things work. Fantastic battery life, for such a tiny package. Pretty decent noise reduction. And they always seem to guess right which of the many devices they're paired with I want them to stream from.

I was, however, disappointed to discover that when in duplex mode, sound quality drops from hifi to first generation gsm quality. As I understand it, Bluetooth still has no better profile for duplex.

They said it's about kitchen/household items, so that doesn't seem to fit. Also I'd be surprised if that store got sales that high in a few weeks.
It depends on the medicine! For example, I have a medicine that I take regularly, and to reduce the amount of doctor visits, my doctor just prescribes me several months of medicine in one giant box.

The box contains smaller boxes of the medicine and they all come with the same description paper - all 30 boxes! I have read that paper 100 times already, there is no need for me to read it anymore.
There have been studies about Amish. Granted they have some other lifestyle factors involved, but it seems like this is as close as you can get.

Laziness on my part. I'm old and comfortable, and it takes real work for 10 years to get there. And of course it requires technical knowledge learned over those ten years!

But if I had worked as hard as I did earlier in my career at a trade business (remember - much lower risk than a startup as the market is very well known and demand omnipresent), I would be much richer now.
I know now when I have to open the window and let the air in, and consequently I feel less tired and have more energy.

How do you maintain a site like that today? Won't it need an army of moderators?

Had a mate starting some sort of a pastebin / blog site and it wasn't long before people started posting questionable content and he had to be on top of it so that the hosting provider doesn't suspend his account. That took majority of his time and he basically couldn't get time for anything else and site wasn't bringing enough money from ads to hire staff. On top of that common theme was someone posting adult content and then reporting to Google so that they would block ads.

I guess having paid accounts keep people who are up to no good slightly at bay.

That is still routing. Not load balancing. The load balancing is only between pods of the same service.

I owned Auto Race, borrowed Football from a friend to play a few games... Remarkable how something at that time could be entertaining and novel with what amounted to a 3 x 9 "pixel" display and a piezo speaker.

Engineers simply commit artifacts with Git LFS as a signed commit. Totally unprivileged build systems can append reproducible build signatures via git tags. That repo can be webhook triggered to be -pulled- by a lambda job or similar in the target environment that will the verify tags and signatures to assert if it is valid, and deploy artifacts to signature approved environments using ephemeral role credentials.

A VCS system or CI system should never have secrets or be trusted in any way. Doing this is always dramatically increases attack surface for no reason.

I have a similar opinion on using the exclamation point for the NOT operator.

It can be very hard to spot sometimes, especially after an opening bracket - if(!something())

Of course its generally better to try and rename functions or refactor to avoid the negative if possible.

Hi !

This looks great !

Vim like keybindings are always welcome ;-)

Unfortunately, I don't have any background in Go, I'm a bit at a loss on how to install it !

I looked at both your demos though.

Although I'm not up to date with what's usually done in terms of accounting / ledger software but I have the following remark :

- Is it intuitive to create transaction in advance to simulate a budget ?

Sharing an account with my wife where both our wages are wired, I'm interested at the end of the month to know how much I was wrong about alloted budgets and how much my monthly allowance will be ;-).
I would find a separate view with information about where I spent more than expected very practical !

Also, don't you think jcb could benefit from a specific view with the list of currently alloted sums by categories with the ability to see a history for each sum (where each new entry would become the current budet and a comment explaining why a budget was raised or lowered) ?

Inefficient Efficiency (1938)
I don't really think I could listen to an AI voice reading a book. Perhaps some technical stuff, but not fiction. Even the difference between a mediocre vs good voice actor is huge, and can mean the difference between finishing an audio book or stopping after a chapter.

Edit: to be very specific, a really good voice actor will take on different voices depending on which character is speaking, and will act out scenes realistically. I honestly can't imagine any AI being able to do that.
