I don't do it for the money. I do it because I like doing it.
Friggin' finally! I'll finally be able to remove some of those alternative chat apps I don't really like.
Only in Europe. For the rest of us, they will make sure to leave in all the enshittification that Makes Windows Worse Again.
I can’t leave fully because job, but I can sure as hell lock them inside a VM.
Microsoft is the abusive partner wondering how many times they have to hit you to make you love them.
The reaction is funny too, because in my experience comparing communities of various distros, Fedora's community is among the the most inviting and professionally-behaving of them.
Personally, I am not running Fedora at the moment, but probably will when my Framework 16 arrives, since Fedora is officially supported on it. And to be honest, I find that I am making the same choices with Arch as Fedora would have made for me (aside from bootloader), so I feel that I'm wasting a bit of effort.
If paper is good enough for wiping the shit from my hands, it’s good enough for wiping the shit from my ass.
We have these two similarly-named web sites. What are the differences? I would like to support local news, but I don't know which one is the more deserving of my tiny recurring donation — or for that matter, which one to prefer when reading.
Tri-Cities Dispatch claims to be "a local media non-profit covering the Tri-Cities area of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore and Belcarra".
Tri-City News seems to be part of a larger Glacier Media Group that operates other local-news outlets elsewhere in BC.
Opinions welcome.
I hope Air Canada doesn’t fly Air Canada on the trip.
Makes sense. You need geological time scales to describe how old that BlackBerry is that the person is holding.
These comments really speak to me as someone who is comfortable in Arch but mildly interested in NixOS. The concept seems great, and it seems to work very smoothly when it works. Yet there are always these war stories where people have had to fight the system, to debug some misbehaving hack that is nonetheless required to smash a particular package into the NixOS mould. It is discouraging. The idea I get is that NixOS involves more time doing OS curation chores than does Arch, which already hits the limit of my willingness.
Flakes are another issue. The pre-flakes way seems to be de-facto deprecated, yet the new, flaky way is experimental. I don’t want to waste time learning a doomed paradigm, and I don’t want to depend on anything experimental.
For me, configuration files in git plus btrfs snapshots is just so straightforward. I want to see NixOS as a better way, but I can’t.
My elderly relative who uses eye drops also has regular eye infections. I’ve told her primary caregivers to watch out and maybe stop putting drops in eyes if they can avoid it.
I’m a happy Kagi convert, but yeah, this post is indistinguishable from an ad. A disclaimer and perhaps a rationale for posting would have helped.
They recently made that level unlimited. That’s when I became a customer. Before that, I agree, not worth it.
Unless the load was improperly secured, or the driver was not driving safely, which we don’t know yet.
Sounds like 1P handled it about as well as they could, and the attacker didn’t get very far.
I attempted to ride one of the Neuron scooters today, from a restaurant back home. It didn't go well.
The most direct route was partly along Barnet Highway. There is a bike lane in this spot, but it's of the "bike gutter of death" category where just a painted line is supposed to magically repel the wayward SUV whose driver is busy texting. There's no way I'm going to take a chance on that. There's a nicer "multi-use pathway" a few blocks down, but not in this spot. The only slightly safe option is to use the sidewalk to get to the multi-use pathway. If you try to use a Neuron scooter on a sidewalk (ignoring the bold text on the scooter admonishing you against such), the scooter will complain loudly about "sidewalk detected" or something similar and just turn off its motor.
So I thought: OK, the mall parking lot is just ahead, and the bike gutter of death transitions to a wide, separated multi-use pathway somewhere along it, so I'll just walk the scooter to the mall parking lot (while paying for the privilege) and then ride it to the MUP. Nope: a few metres into the mall parking lot, the scooter again complained loudly — this time, that it had left its service area — and again refused to activate its motor. At this point, I was overly frustrated, so I moved the scooter the two metres back to its service area, ended the ride, deleted the app, and walked home.
I'm still not 100% certain if it is OK to just park the scooter in any random spot and walk away. None of the messaging I've seen from Neuron or from the city explicitly said whether it was OK to do so. By now, I've seen them all over the place, so I assume it is OK.
This was actually my second ride. The first, a few weeks ago, reached its destination without shutting down, but I had to ride in traffic and felt exposed and unsafe the entire time. Plus, the scooter's limited speed, even on high-speed mode, created an annoyance for everyone behind me.
I'm very interested in sustainable transportation. I sold my car a few years before the pandemic and have lived mostly car-free since then, with Modo for the handful of times per month I need a car. I'm not sure who the scooters are for, but I don't think they're for me. In my opinion, the restrictions placed upon the scooters are so heavy-handed that they are neither safe nor convenient unless a trip is contained entirely within the multi-use pathways. It's good to see the city investing in the MUPs and protected bike lanes, but we need more of those and less restrictions before the shared scooters, if they continue to exist, become more than just a novelty.
