Polling is essentially meaningless until an election is called, and given none of the parties are making policy promises at this point it is more of a state of sentiment about the current government.

I really hope that whoever gets elected this next election that they only get a minority so there is at least some chance of ensuring they don't do anything too extreme.

Scaling for HiDPI displays is unacceptable on every desktop OS, it is crazy that so little effort has been put into making the experience of modern monitors good.

Pretty much all the reasons I can't stand most 3D Printing communities on the internet. Too much basic troubleshooting answered dozens of times already and not enough cool projects.

Engineer should still be an IC position and not have that many meetings. It should be a project or team lead that does the majority of meetings.

The big issue I see with people driving Phillips screws is that they don't use a large enough driver size. Computer screws for example are Phillips #2 and I've never had an issue with them stripping.

My father literally had a digital rolodex device for keeping his phone numbers in for his early cellphones.

Canada threw up their hands and said, "Fuck it, I don't care, use whatever date format you like."

Frankly I don't even want that. I hate when my fridge starts beeping at me because I have it open while I am putting away groceries or cleaning it.

Having my lights automatically controlled is nice. They turn on just before sunset, then I have my lamp in my bedroom turn on just before I head to bed normally so I can get straight into bed and hit a button to make the room dark.

I have a few other things connected to Home Assistant like my 3D printer and an air quality meter just to have a dashboard for how things are in my place. But I have zero interest in appliances being connected to the internet. Especially anything that could be dangerous if it malfunctioned.

Nah there is Debian, Arch, Gentoo, and Linux from scratch depending on your level of madness.
