Wide-spread adoption of passkeys can’t come soon enough.

I’d much rather praise them when they do something well, but this is so hard to spot when just reading over committed code. All the obstacles they cleared are not visible in there.

This is SO true and exactly why code reviews always feel like a beat down (even when they’re not). There’s no visibility into the truly good work that’s already been done.

I’d argue this is a wash. Linux is more convenient in many ways but Windows is in others.

On Google Fi the watch data “piggy backs” on the phone’s data. You still need a phone + phone plan.

Everything old is new again.

Valve releasing a competitive game doesn’t prevent you from doing this. I for one am excited by the potential of this game. Then again, I’ve been playing Dota for 10 years so maybe I’m just a masochist.

That’s because that’s exactly what they are.

I bought the game on release week. I don’t play often but when I do it’s with friends. After hearing about this incident my plan was to wait a few days or a week to see how it resolves before deciding if I want to refund the game. However, enough of my friends have already refunded the game that, if they don’t come back, I likely won’t be playing much if at all anyway so I’ll probably refund the game this week as well, especially if nothing changes.

No, no, the real problem is video games… and Dungeons & Dragons… and the mall of course… and comic books… and…

ARM is RISC (or at least a version of it).

Mullvad got rid of their port forwarding.

So did IVPN. Use Proton VPN now.

Sunshine/Moonlight should perform better than Gamestream at the default settings.Try turning down your bitrate. 4K will work fine at 100Mbps.

Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn’t change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.

That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.

I understand what you’re saying but it feels wrong to lump Cloudflare in with Google and Amazon. Clouflare, thus far anyway, has been mostly a force of good for the internet.

The internet IS decentralized.

Think of the up vote button more as a “this information is worth spreading” button than “I like or agree with this content”.

I am super impressed with Arch on my home servers. People seem to think “rolling” means “unstable” but the only issues I’ve had were due to some weird hardware incompatibility with my motherboard. Once I replaced the mobo my system has been rock solid AND reasonably up-to-date (I do use LTS kernel).

I’m not your friend, guy!

If we always assumed the worst no one would buy/accomplish anything. This is not a realistic way to live. The best we can expect to do is making the best decision with the information we have at hand at the time. Of course a healthy dose of scepticism isn’t a bad thing either as long as it doesn’t get in the way of living a relatively normal life.
