Sometimes you win by eating more fiber

Me too, I have also refused job offers to places that don’t allow Linux on the workstations.

Imagine playing golf your entire life and not giving up when your game sucks this bad.

There was an EU rule about ten years ago that stipulated that rear lights are no longer mandatory in daylight. The reasoning being to save on fuel. Which is a ridiculous reason, even more so with today’s LED lights.

I don’t know about other EU countries but this was the reason that Sweden removed the requirement. All cars in Sweden used to have the rear lights turned on at all time, even if the light switch was in the off position, but that changed around the same time.

It used to be mandatory with always on rear lights in Sweden (you couldn’t even turn them off). But an adaptation to EU rules removed that requirement. 😓

Spark, it reminds me of Google inbox (although I’m still bitter over Google killing inbox).

I use the free tier of Spark, and have never felt a need to upgrade. The free version contains all the features I need.

That makes a lot of sense actually.

I never understood the benefit of this. You need to go backwards at some point regardless.

Why does everything be number lists?

Their eCommerce platforms are not changing from a technology perspective. They are raising their prices. There is no technology related news here.

It’s a pain to get other app stores to get uptake on Android since Google refuses to let other app stores be distributed via Google Play. So if Steam starts to distribute games for Android, the Steam app would be thrown out from Google Play.

It’s the same reason why the F-droids user base is so small and will never reach the main public. As soon as your app store needs to be installed via a third party web site, you have lost.

I hate articles that are just a tease for a YouTube video.

Death By Snu Snu

I have a great boss that knows that whatever I decide to do is probably the right priority. As long as our users are happy she is happy.

Is it quicker to fix it then to get the issue triaged? Just fix it and move on.

Since they specified “falsely” does that mean that there is legitimate witchcraft going on?

The main difference between an airfryer and traditional convection oven is less space to heat (i.e heats up quicker) and the heat is on all the time. A conventional convection oven will cycle the heat on and off. So yeah, the same core technology, but with different tradeoffs.

The situation may be worse than I’ve been exposed to, due to the phone brands we have in our house.

I still think it’s better for the environment to not ship a charger with every phone, even if you cannot assume that everything is USB PD nowadays.

You are absolutely right, the prices have gone up. Still better for the environment to not ship a redundant charger with each phone.
