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. 😓

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.

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

I switched at about the same time. I miss being in my twenties. 😋

My employer is forcing us to migrate from Debian to Ubuntu because they want access to paid support. Holy crap, I hate snap so much.

It seems to me that they like it. Am I missing something?

If you look at races that are longer than marathons it seems that the women have the upper edge. https://ultra-x.co/are-women-better-than-men-at-ultra-running/

But that doesn’t necessarily correlate with hunting.

Wasn’t the shooter republican and/or conservative?

Is chrome modular enough to make it feasible for Edge and other Chrome based browsers to add support for jpegxl themselves?

Mostly convenience, the Klarna app is miles ahead of what my bank offers.

While I agree that increasing consumer debt is a problem, I think Klarna provides a valuable service for online shopping.

I can get my goods delivered and inspect them before paying anything. If the goods are not as stated (or don’t arrive at all) I just dispute it and then it is Klarnas problem, I haven’t risked anything of my own money. If I had paid up front, I would have to try to get my money back. It’s almost always harder to get money back than to dispute and refuse to pay.

Some regulations are welcome, but I don’t see BNPL as a bad concept in itself.

No, but it’s getting more and more so here (Sweden) too with the ongoing polarization.
