- Comment on Being honest - same answer for me 4 days ago:
Seriously, everyone should floss at least one a day. Makes a huge difference. Brushing alone is simply not hygienic enough.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 4 days ago:
This is the way.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Is there unpaid subscriptions?
- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 1 week ago:
Maybe some deficiency? Get it checked out.
Do you routinely go to bed in time? Is your sleep environment right?
Do you suffer from depression or another disorder? Get help, if you can.
Possibly try to wake up according to your natural sleep cycle.
Are you on medication that could cause issues?
So many possibilities. A professional might be able to help best.

They also lock your (free) account if you don’t use it for six months. You have to start paying if you ever want that email address again (emails are lost AFAIK).
Happened to me after a serious illness. I don’t mind paying, but that soured it so badly for me.

To be fair, no one should hold in their sneezes.

Still, sneezing into a tissue (or at least the sleeve) is just good manners.
Explode away!
- Comment on Google Photos now lets you animate your camera roll with Veo 3 for free 4 weeks ago:
Sometimes I wish media organisations would report with the same hunger about every tiny, little unimportant feature in software I’m involved with.
Then again, it isn’t millions of people using my stuff.

Who wants such a girlfriend? Not a sustainable relationship.

On the pro side, if don’t will, they outlast every tar road by centuries.

99% sure its AI generated.

Sure, but in the meantime I need to work with what I have… which is Intel.

This makes me happy. 🙂

SVN is still great if there a need for strict access controls and central control matters a lot. Auditing is also a bit easier with SVN.
It caters more for a linear workflow, though. So modern large teams won’t find joy with SVN.
- Comment on Yeah 2 months ago:
Gitlab, Gog’s, Gitea… you can run all those locally.
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 2 months ago:
Basically some reasonableness.
Set boundaries. Meaning you probably should choose specific times to check the news. You could for instance check once in the morning and once in the evening. Or even only on specific days.
Also curate your sources. Follow outlets that offer reasonably balanced reporting. Misinformation and sensationalism are your sanity’s worst enemies. For example, don’t get your news from social media (as is so common with many and which leads to a host of other issues…).
Try to avoid doomscrolling. If scrolling starts feeling like sinking, it’s
okaynecessary to stop. You really don’t need to absorb every detail to be informed.And just something I personally found is to balance bad with good news. Spend time with positive stuff. Even in this timeline there’s good to be had.

- Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC 2 months ago:
Sadly, quite a few things. Here’s a few:
- Software installation and compatibility
- Application support; some popular software is built with Windows in mind.
- One-clickinstallers; Software usually comes with user-friendly installation wizards. No command lines or dependency juggling.
- Driver availability; Linux is getting better, but Windows is superior
- Better peripheral support like for printers, webcams, game controllers.
- Gaming performance; although Linux is gaining ground, Windows is just better in this regard
- Media codecs and formats; again, Linux is getting better, but this isn’t always an out-of-the-box everyone
- Business integration; Windows plays nicely with enterprise tools like Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and legacy business apps.
Don’t get me wrong. I use Linux as my daily driver. That also means I get frustrated on occasion when again I must consult man pages instead of just running a troubleshooter or fiddling with Nvidia drivers instead of just running the game.
- Comment on Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? 2 months ago:
And yet, the wants of the many often do.

One of the best organising tools I ever found. And still under active development.

To get encryption one must start a “secret chat”, which many users likely don’t even know exists. It’s an opt-in! Regular users will not even know the option exists, that’s how well hidden it is.
Regular chats? Plainly readable on the server.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 3 months ago:
Most of the alternatives mentioned have such low adoption that they aren’t truly viable options yet—no matter how much we wish otherwise.
And I say that not as a critic—I actually use Matrix, XMPP, and Jitsi myself. But guess how many of my friends, family, or colleagues are on them?
Exactly.
That’s why I recommend Signal. At least there, people are likely to find folks they already know.

I features, yes. By 10 miles.
Privacy? It isn’t driving anymore at this point.
