Am definitely human.
He got up at 5:30 a.m. to show the sunrise to his microphone. Yeah, that’s not worrying.
So very unsurprising. That’s straight up out of the film Her which is about how an electronic companion can (will) affect and screw over their “friend”.
There must be a compelling reason they’re sticking with micro USB this long after everything else has gone USB C.
Didn’t think one was needed.
You’d be surprised how versatile that one thing is. Or, should I say, how much abuse it gets at ioccc…
It does need to be Internet connected. It’s critical for patching remote exploit vulnerabilities…
I don’t know you but I love you for that Palatino statement. I’ve used it since forever (ie. back when Macs were black and white) and just love the curves of the italic style. These days, on Linux, I use Tex Gyre Pagella for basically all my documents.
For UI like menus and such, I’m quite nostalgic for the Chicago font - yes, pixelated and aliased and everything.
Yup. This happens all too commonly.
No hunger… No hunger… No hunger… Stomach implodes (usually after the work canteen is closed, good luck with the rest of your work day)
Agreed on your last point. That’s when programs still had proper tool bars and keyboards shortcuts, before the “ribbon” shit started to fuck over everyone’s muscle memory.
It would have made sense for MS to start with “finger painting UI” and then work towards the power user UI - but the other way round makes zero sense to my poor brain.
There is a Firefox extension that does this. Or at least there used to be.
This is what I call “confidently wrong”. If you ask it about things you have no clue about, it seems incredibly well-informed and insightful. Ask it something you know deeply, and you’ll easily see it’s just babbling and spouting nonsense - sure makes you wonder about those earlier statements it made, doesn’t it?
The digital national ID is not corporate or government snooping. If you believe it is, I don’t think this conversation can continue. What it is, is what’s needed to log into your doctors system to schedule an appointment, or the schools system to read updates about your kids, or to log into your online banking. All of that, and more, in my country, is using the same ID system, which won’t work on a rooted android phone (at least, I haven’t been able to make it work for the past 3-4 major versions).
Yes but do they support the digital national ID and SSO apps that are (only) avaliable for android and apple? Until they do, a lot of users are going to be locked into those two big OS vendors. 😞
That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn’t a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.
What really brings me down it’s the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?
I have commented stuff like this before, and gotten it deleted (or gotten summarily banned). I have been searching for spaces where this sort of discourse is even allowed, where non-vagina-havers get to say that many men suck but it’s not only their fault and they certainly can’t fix it in a vacuum.
What mates you think I was overkill to replace a ceo?
🙂 Thank you for bringing up a fun memory.
Look, slack is 1000% better than Teams will ever be. But, Slack is also enshittifying themselves, eg. with their 3-month event horizon.
Anything Slack can do, Mattermost does – and Mattermost is free, open source, and self-hostable.
This is my hill.
My sincere apologies, Mexico is definitely on the good list.
…and simply agrees to never, ever, set foot in North America.
I’m in.
Not sure, though, how this ploy would work out for our fine fellows in South America, Mexico, and Canada, the ones currently belabored with being the closest neighbours to The Wastelands.
Eh, 80% of what this Dan fellow provides can’t be all that much…
Possibly that those two posts of yours contain only two commas and a single period (for four sentences). Don’t know about the “lice” though…
