- Comment on i get most of my news something like that 1 week ago:
That’s how I found out also.
- Comment on How Google is killing independent sites like ours - HouseFresh 1 week ago:
Never heard of it.
How good is it, compared to duckduckgo?
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
Weird, I have 100’s of thousands of files synced.
Been using it for years.
Linux, windows and Mac in the circuit. Never a problem that wasn’t user error.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
that is exactly what Syncthing is, my desktop to my server to my laptop to my phone…
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 1 week ago:
Syncthing!
I don’t even know what to compare it to, I have been using it so long.
- Comment on I can't believe it 1 week ago:
Na, peas and gravy is great.
- Comment on I can't believe it 1 week ago:
You are cooking them too long.
They are edible raw, so you only need to heat them through to go with your hot meal. They should still be firm and sweet when cooked.
Literally 2 min in boiling water, 3 if from frozen.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 1 week ago:
Free are imagining a world with no IP protection.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 2 weeks ago:
No. If there is no IP protection, Amazon will just be able to take people’s work.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 2 weeks ago:
Totally agree, but removal is not a good option.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 2 weeks ago:
Because Amazon stole it, made a copy available for 1/10 the price.
The marketing power of Amazon is 10’s of thousands of times greater than the original author, so you probably never hear that the book you are interested in has an author that is different from the one Amazon puts on the cover, who is a pen name of their “AI author”.
Note: I think IP law is a bit shit really, but removing any protection from creative works is dangerous, and extremely short sighted. If you don’t want to reward the corporations, learn to pirate…piracy is far more ethical than calling for the removal of IP law.

- Comment on "Cheers", but set in a fantasy tavern. 2 weeks ago:
The Goliath at the end of the bar is a happy genial sort, his comically oversized tankard is a source of recurring jokes

My 4 month old just did the world’s first quintuple back flip on a BMX. He is talking with red bull about sponsorship.

They are illegal.
But by the time the courts have heard the case, the business is already bust.
- Comment on The story behind the Oblivion mod Terry Pratchett worked on 5 weeks ago:
If you decide to pick up the series, check out the reading order guide, I would personally go with sub series first and not chronological.
The City Watch or Witches are a great place to start.
- Comment on 'Limited incentive' for Coles and Woolworths to compete vigorously on price, and margins have risen, ACCC finds 5 weeks ago:
That was tried here, and the guy couldn’t get contracts with suppliers. They didn’t want to endanger their contracts with the Woolies and Foodstuffs.
- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 5 weeks ago:
It has the screen tearing issue, which can’t be fixed because it is one of the original ones which are glued together.
I have to have it on the analogue watch face so the screen refreshes every second. But it has outlasted the 4 other watches I tried.

I am wearing my OG Kickstarter Pebble right now, 12 years and still getting 8 days battery out of it.
I think I will be getting a new Core Time 2
