  • Why wouldn’t it be? I don’t understand the point of this article. It’s not like some other direct P2P communication medium is going to come along and upend it. It doesn’t really make sense to run fiber inside your home. You don’t need that kind of bandwidth for such a small number of devices and it would be prohibitively expensive since you need a specialized, highly trained technician to run it - unlike Ethernet, where any sufficiently motivated person can do so. I’ve heard that the people that run fiber for ISPs make something like $200/hr or so.

















  • It sounds like you’d be better off with a DE or WM that isn’t gnome. The GNOME Project has been progressively sticking more and more of the customization features of the DE behind either gnome tweaks or the command line, likely to unify the experience for all users and improve the ability to provide support.

    Personally, as far as gnome-based DEs are concerned, I prefer cinnamon, but I’m fine running Mint to just have it come pre-installed. I don’t know what dependencies it pulls in now if you install it standalone from Mint.




  • I always figured their grocery section would end up like their in-store pharmacy, i e., no one would use it and it would end up a vestige of a failed business model.

    It surprises me when I see people buy food from target since there are other stores with the same or similar quality items for cheaper. I don’t think target has much value proposition from their own brands like Archer Farms (if that even is a target exclusive brand anymore).

    If anyone sees this comment and shops at target for their groceries, would you mind explaining why?
