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.

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. 😓

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

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

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.

From a sample size of 1 (me) PopOS users prepare their coffee with an Aeropress.

We decided that everyone in the team is allowed to approve changes. If no one has reviewed your change within 24 hours you are allowed to approve it yourself. It will usually come up in the daily sync that a self approval is imminent, which usually leads to someone taking a look.

the researchers claim the petabit discs can last 50 to 100 years.
