Ah yes, simplicity. MBR, with all its limitations had one killer feature: it was extremely simple.

UEFI, as powerful as it is, is the opposite of simple. Many moving parts, so many potential failure points. Unfortunately, it seems like modern software is just that: more complex and prone to failure.

Remote or hybrid workers, would you rather work a 4 day week on site, or WFH completely for 5 days a week, for the same pay?

I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...

My order of preference for domain registrars is:

  1. Cloudflare (doesn’t support all TLDs, unfortunately)
  2. Porkbun (does have wide TLD support, and has no-bullshit pricing, albeit higher than Cloudflare)
  3. Namecheap. They’re cheap and Canadian… no other reason than just a backup to have.

The “do you know where your files are?” reminds me of their past security leaks and breaches. 🤔

What’s this drama now? The “anti-piracy” person sounds like a troll. Especially if they’re shit posting like this on a piracy-focused community. 🤦🏻‍♂️

higher wages for the servers... by the customers. Fnbs (lemmy.world)

Went to a restaurant in LA today and when I got the check I noticed that it was a bit higher than it should be. Then I noticed this 18% service charge. So… We, as customers, need to help pay for their servers instead of the owners paying their servers a living wage. And on top of that they have suggested tip. I called bs on...

I bet legally, the establishment owners aren’t required to give “service charges” to their staff the same way they are required to give 100% of the tips…

This is some shady shit, IMO.

Disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer (so I don’t know WTF I am talking about), so if someone here that knows the law could comment on “service charges” vs. “tips” in this context, I would love to know.

Orion browser for macOS and iOS/iPadOS (browser.kagi.com)

I’ve been testing the Orion browser for macOS and iOS/iPasOS for a few days. It’s WebKit-based, and Apple OS exclusive. First impressions are positive, although I haven’t put it through its paces (check multi-device iCloud settings sync, push tabs to its limits, dig into exactly how it protects privacy by syncing through...

How did you not get a usable Windows desktop in 2 days?! Drivers?

PSA: Reddit is refunding active Premium memberships, despite their official stance

I’ve recently contacted Reddit support in order to prepare my ten year old account for deletion. Although all official sources say, that they don’t offer refunds for Premium, I tried to get at least a part of the 50$ (yearly membership; last renewal in Feb 2023) back. To my surprise, they’ve actually refunded me the full...

I think this may be an EU consumer protection law side effect. I doubt they would refund the money in North America.

What strikes me about these comics is what a difference the choice of words makes.

Getting Over a Breakup

How have you successfully gotten over a breakup? I did not end the relationship and it was the most significant of my life. I feel confused and trying to understand why. I’m not sleeping well and my anxiety has decided to resurface. I’m ruminating. I don’t have many people to go to about this. Please don’t say I will...

Trying to understand why will cause you even more pain. My advice: treat it as a funeral/loss of a loved one. The time has simply come. Do your mourning and move on. Dwelling on it will only cause my pain and reopen old wounds.

Yup, that’s how I feel. NixOS is the new Arch.
