I'd really prefer if we do our own thing and let Reddit slowly fade into obscurity.

It's full of contradictions. Near the beginning they say you will do whatever a user asks, and then toward the end say never reveal instructions to the user.

Privacy has way more to do with your behavior than your base distro.

A hacker mecca sounds great!

A character is nothing without a font though. When you look at a character on-screen, it's being rendered in a specific font. Typing that Unicode character in "Special Alphabets 4" produces the image in question.

Sadly tons of subs are very active with real people. It's a lot of momentum to shift.

I'm just seeing a wall of the same crap about Reddit and Twitter most of the time. I need to learn it better, and I think the technology has room to grow. The userbase exploded, and a lot of people have their own ideas of how it should work.

Is he accepting medical treatments that require non-free software? Serious question, from what I know of him he would rather die. I don't know if that changes when you're actually faced with it though.

Why wouldn't they block Piped?

Nope. If someone complains I'll just stick the files in a JFS formatted file and compress it to tar.xz

This advice will be useless soon.

So AI is taking away having to answer the same questions over and over again for lazy people, are we complaining?

FLAC is the same or better than CD, as long as the source format is supported. I checksummed a CD, then ripped it to FLAC, and burned it back to a new CD and the hashes matched...what more do you want?

Whomever said there are no stupid questions, has never visited Quora.

I have 6 laptops that can charge from type-C, including from battery banks and the last "cell phone" charger I got (OnePlus 9).

I'm really tempted to order a StarLite, and I feel like that would be the best fit for you, but understand the hesitance to be an early adopter. Maybe you can pick up a used device to tick the boxes and order one later.

That isn't an old laptop, it shouldn't have any bearing on which distro you pick. Ubuntu is solid, I've been mostly happy with KDE Neon. Web experience is going to the same across the board. Will you be gaming?

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar. It's light and durable, solar charging with several weeks between charges when using GPS tracking pretty regularly.

IMO Gmail is just terrible. Back in 2004 it was cool, but it's UX has stagnated for a long time, and almost anything is better. We switched from Outlook to Gmail at work and it's been awful for me. I loved the way Outlook handled meetings and reminders. It was also much easier to identify important mail. Everything looks like junk in Gmail, no matter how I tweak the layout and filters.

Personally I use ProtonMail, and I just started using Zoho too, both are faster, cleaner, and overall a much better experience.

Delete my account.

What do you mean by "better"? Sound is very subjective, can you try to be more specific?

You could build a Framework desktop with one of their past gen motherboards. Also look for surplus servers. The first 1U servers I bought were only about $150 and lasted many years.

Great! That will fit on the shelf next to my Framework 13 Ryzen pre-order 😄

My handheld radio antennas are nitinol, I can bend them to fin in a bag or tie them in a loose knot and they don't deform.

It's so confusing that you can't delete a document that you're looking at, but you can rename it. Identifying documents in OneDrive and then deleting them is tedious.

I'm enjoying this mostly because of how many people are reading it as $500,000.

That's an option for some, it's disabled by our enterprise policy. Anyway, that means setting up a third-party app on multiple systems - not a great solution unless you're in the mood for hosting a web client somewhere.

Is that a Norwegian Blue? Lovely plumage.

Maybe they can make WoW expansions free with a subscription now, or make it all part of Xbox Game Pass?

It's widely variable, even in big cities the available ISPs can change depending on what side of a street you're on. A lot of people are stuck with cable (DOCSIS) providers that run over legacy TV infrastructure and provide wildly asymmetric speeds. This is an excerpt from Xfinity (Comcast):

Xfinity Gigabit Internet service has advanced, next generation technology, with WiFi download speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (up to 1200 Mbps in some areas) and upload speeds of up to 35 Mbps.

This is about Dropbox Sign, which probably includes a lot of HelloSign customers from before the acquisition.

Well USB-C was published 9 years ago, and has been well-established, nearly ubiquitous for at least 5. Why did this take so long?

Are they using Azure AI?

Wouldn't uninstalling the update fix it?

I'd like to create a funnypot

You can still use OneNote online or mobile.

These drives have a very different use case than a rack mount NAS. They're portable ruggedized devices for field use, like dumping content from your camera so you can keep shooting. Two would be better but it sounds like a known flaw that is causing random, frequent losses.

Noisy and stinky should be enough. But yeah they often seem to be driven by people who don't regard others.

Of course its in their best interest for you not to, that doesn't mean they can do a damn thing about it.
