I saw orgmode once and I really loved it. Used Doomed and spacemacs. But dear Lord, does everything break on updates and need fixing. I had to give up as I just don't think it's feasible for me to fix my emacs when I want to get some work done.

Given the way Google is going I'm not sure if my next phone will be Android. I am fully aware that I am probably in the minority here. For me the trust is entirely gone.

I imagine most of us here will look elsewhere when we next upgrade. But are those numbers large enough to form a viable alternative?

This might be one of those things were if there is big enough user base, companies will start to take it seriously.

Can't believe USA is becoming such a third world these days. What happened to tiktok is something that would normally happen in a banana Republic. It's so sad to see.

I heard that. I was wondering if that puts people in danger, can't the Iranian government just some how pin point where those frequencies are getting broadcasted from?

Are there any Iranians outside of Iran know how to contact people in the country? Anyway to find out if family and friends are ok?

Have friends with relatives there. I think the fear of what's next is as potent as the frustration of what is happening with the current government.

Putting all of the Elon BS aside. Can someone in marketing shine some light on how does X compare to other platforms?

This could not have been better timed for me. I was diagnosed with ADHD yesterday. Apparently for me, the working memory is a major issue. If anyone has any tips here I really appreciate it if you could comment your suggestions here.

Is this good going to be readable on Kindle? It might be just me, but some software engineering books are hard to read on Kindle due to codes sections could end up with strange format.

This is fantastic. Unfortunately decision makers usually go with what they already know. No one was ever fired for choosing Salesforce. Hopefully over time more people get exposure to this and increase the adoption.

New comment by buzzwords in "Microsoft Freezes Salaries for 2023"

buzzwords — Thu, 11 May 2023 05:22:46 +0000

I wonder if there will be a mass resignation at Microsoft as a new job might pay more. To me, it sounds like they considered this, and thought majority would not resign and go work for someone else that pays more. Some of those will not be replaced and some might need more pay. Over all this might be cheaper for MS.

The fact that I have to be signed in to see people's notes/tweets means that I will not use it any time soon.
