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

I was joking too. 😅

If anyone hasn’t learned how tariffs work by now, they are choosing to be ignorant.

Tariffs are paid by the importer so it will just make your feeds more expensive to import to your device.

I don’t think anyone suggested that you add the .env symlink to the index. It should be ignored by git.

I generally consume on my phone and produce on my computer. Phones are still mostly horrible for producing anything with a slight complexity.

When they dropped sms support I was no longer able to convince people to migrate to signal.

Before I could make the argument that you need one sms app anyway so that app might just as well be Signal instead of the one that comes preloaded with your phone. That way people would gradually get more and more secure messaging as time went on. When sms support was dropped, Signal could not replace an existing app and adding another messing app is much less appealing than replacing one.

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.

CUDA can (depending on circumstances) give slightly better performance than OpenCL. So if you know that your target hosts will have Nvidia GPUs ( for example ML in your own data centers) that might be beneficial.

OpenCL will run on multiple platforms so if you don’t know the target hosts (for example consumer hardware for gaming) this makes life easier for the developer.

The frameworks and libraries around the different specs differ, so if there is a library that is useful for your use case, that will effect your decision to pick one over the other

It’s always been like this for most repositories that make up Android. The few projects that were truly developed in the open, such as ART, will now follow the same private branches as the rest of Android.

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

I envisioned Murderbot more or less as the picture. Hopefully they can make it work for everyone…

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.
