  • I don't know if I hate it but it's annoying how opening links inside Teams tends to open in Teams instead of the real expected app.

    It's like they want a whole OS inside of Teams.

    Besides that: slack just feels better and less clunky for text chats.

  • I'm a fan of those foot things that exist in some places now to pull the door open. Though every time I use one, I fear for a moment that if someone enters the bathroom at the same time I'm leaving, I'll fall on my face.

  • How does a doddle compare to a jiffie?

  • It's been too many years since I've played on a tire swing.

  • That sounds like a lot of filter words. Thanks for the suggestion though!

  • And yet somehow we have questions that revolve around US politics geopolitical depressants.

  • I would have thought the something is wrong category would catch all here.

    Maybe there should be a miscategorized option or similar.

  • Three dots in the corner. Click to report the job, pick the category it falls into.

    Believe it or not: people do eventually see reports at some level.

  • Makes me think that platforms banning Trump after Jan 6 were just kissing up to Biden coming in. Maybe there is just a cycle of capitalist sucking up.

  • You're right, but also have been proven wrong. This is politics, and apparently the most effective version at that is lying and saying things that more people than we would think believe.. and vote for.

  • The fact that they changed the name to Azure Linux still upsets me. I get upset easily.

    We use it at work. Seems mostly fine and similar enough to old CentOS and RHEL.

  • +1.

    I wish we had type c but all cables were labeled with clear functionality from the start. I don't like data/power only cables.

  • Warning: talking out of my butt a bit so take with a grain of salt.

    I wonder if you could look at micropython. You could implement a unix like world on top of micropython then use micropython as the layer where a normal os would be.

    It would be miserable and likely impossible to be fully unix compliant but could be a fun thing to play with. I would be amazed if it ever somehow could run native unix binaries.

  • If you have bags, you could cut one open, pop in an infuser (or reusable metal ball thing) and roll on.

    Lots of people mention loose leaf tea but for people who barely know the difference between types of tea, it doesn't seem to come out cheaper than cheapo bags.

    I guess I'm a price guy over flavor lol

  • I'm guessing this is a cost thing. You don't need to pay for fact checking anymore.

    .. still obnoxious and pushing us towards a dead echo chamber internet. Get ready for AI personalities voting on community notes.

  • Can confirm this type of thing. Under the Microsoft umbrella stuff doesn't get special treatment or exemptions from rate limits.

    Instead we make multiple accounts and randomly pick ones to use for various api calls. We waste time fighting with secondary rate limits for them as well as guess how to avoid them.

  • I would think they could have a legit .gov url shortener. They're not much code and easy enough to run at scale.

    I'd vote for u.gov.

  • That relies on donations which may or may not come. I understand in a perfect world that makes sense, but in the real world even those foundations often rely on corporate muscle. Without that enterprise money, I'm not sure how they'd stand.

  • This is probably a minority opinion, but I think OSS prospers most when there is corporate muscle behind it.

    A company with paid engineers that puts engineering time into fixing and bettering open source software can possibly be a good company.

    Closed source ends up being the worst of all worlds. If there is an issue, you're stuck waiting for someone else to possibly fix it. At least in open source, either you can try to fix it, or you can pay someone else to try to fix it.

    At the end of the day, I think a lot of the Linux success actually comes down to this.

  • Even in ipfs, I don't understand discoverability. Sort of sounds like it still needs a centralized list of metadata to content I'd, etc.
