If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.

OnlyOffice Desktop Editors…

Simpler interface but lacking more advanced features of MS Office or Libre. It has the features 90% of users actually use though.

Nearly perfect DOCX formatting compatibility. The only thing I have ever noticed when collaborating with Word users is the bullet symbols on list items may be different on my end.


Common courtesy is to not even link to paywalled articles… The publisher has already made it clear they are not interested in public awareness of their content.



And the outlets don’t make the connection that their readers are telling them to stop shoveling AI-generated garbage at them?



Maybe if there was a controllable delay on the teleporter…

NOTIFICATION: Your boss has entered the teleporter buffer. Allow materialization? [YES] [NO] [ASK ME AGAIN LATER]


The portion of managers which don’t actually contribute anything to productivity don’t have much to do if everyone is at home.


You leave a voicemail by calling someone that doesn’t answer.

Blocking the call at your phone is just not answering.

Use something like Google’s Call Screening that actually answers numbers not in your contacts so they don’t get the opportunity to leave a voicemail.


That’s essentially what Call Screening does if the number has been reported as spam enough times.



The typical surprise bill would still be a lot less than your monthly payment for the infinite searches option. You probably aren’t going to unknowingly perform several thousand more searches than you normally do without noticing it.

Anyway, your other option is to scroll through infinite ads trying to find the few actual search results.

Pick your poison.


You’re not limited to a set amount of searches if you pick a cheaper Kagi plan… the plan is just for how many are pre-paid. You’d have to do six times the pre-paid number of searches on the $5 plan to get billed $25, so there’s no point in paying $25 monthly unless you’re actually doing thousands of searches every month.

But either way, there is no limit.


As a non-Mac user, I’m not even sure if “Mac-only” or “yet-another Chromium fork” makes it less interesting.


A lot of companies won’t employ technical writers, who exist to make good, thorough, complete and well-presented documentation… they rather assume their engineers can just write the docs.

And no, no they can’t… very few engineers study the principles of effective communication. They may understand things, but they can’t explain them.


We may have to start reading the manuals!



Got it, my misunderstanding…

And I do agree with your added concern.


That’s great, right up until Ring unilaterally decides to…

Which is a completely different topic than the one I quoted. The article said that equipment owners shouldn’t be able to provide their videos to the police without the police first getting a warrant, which is an utterly ridiculous position to take.

OBVIOUSLY the police should have a warrant to get the video without the equipment owner’s permission, but that’s not what the author said.


But it also allows Ring owners to send videos they’ve captured with their Ring video doorbell cameras and outdoor security cameras to law enforcement. (…) If a crime has been committed, law enforcement should obtain a warrant to access civilian video footage.

This is utter nonsense… Anyone is free to voluntarily provide their own pictures and video to the police. A warrant is so that police can come and take it from you against your will.


There were articles a while back stating that the target albedo had been met with the newer satellites.

I don’t recall the specific details, though.


I’ve been on Fedora for about a year and I’m very particularly making a point of never opening the terminal to prove it’s no longer necessary.

So far, haven’t needed it.

I don’t have a problem doing things by the command line… it’s certainly sometimes easier that way. This is just a response to the people that complain about having to use it. Turns out, they really don’t.


I’m pretty sure you meant to actually select Edge, so I’ll go ahead and switch that to your default so we don’t need to bother you again next time. You’re welcome!


Mint is a great choice, especially if you’re looking for something that resembles the classic Windows (2k to 7) desktop paradigm.


Linux distros like Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint and Pop! have been fully capable of replacing Windows for typical work and home uses for several years.

Even gaming is very close to being on-par now.

There are still niches dependent on Windows, like specialized engineering software or anyone that simply refuses to use anything other than Adobe products.


I haven’t seen a website that looks like that since 1996.

It just needs a spinning “Under Construction” sign and it could go on Geocities.


This is a problem that the “legitimate news sources” created and they will need to ask to remove the laws they asked for in the first place if they want their viewership to come back.



I’m not opposed to any process on any instance that enforces civil behavior on its registered users. Moderation is mandatory to eliminate defederation as the only way to handle the problem.

If you refuse to moderate your instance, you forfeit any right to complain about your instance getting defederated.

But these things are still too young and primitive for good moderation tools to really exist yet… yet. If your users are getting your instance defederated, maybe that’s a problem you should work on.


If that’s the only way to stop harassment, yes, you do… anyone on that instance that isn’t like-minded with the behavior that instance permits is well-advised to leave it for one better suited to their own beliefs.
