I moved from duckduckgo to kagi just because I like paying for a service directly when I can. Works great. I am conscious of my true identity being linked to my searches when I use it, though.

Ah, I've been using some setting on my Samsung phone to make bluetooth keyboards dvorak for many years now.

I will be surprised if this post turns up any experienced dvorak typists who want an onscreen keyboard to be non-qwerty. I've been typing dvorak for over twenty years and prefer all non-touch-type keyboards to be qwerty so I can find

Permanent ban is standard punishment for cheating in lots of things in life. It's bizarre to me that it's not so in chess. Was he only caught while under 18. I can understand giving a second chance to children.

I'd prefer the regular public voting and a secret non-binding vote. You'd get a lot of information out of the secret vote telling you what representatives really thought. Especially if it were a landslide in the secret ballot an

This is an extremely good analogy that I must remember (if case anyone quotes this myth to me again, which hasn't happened in a couple of decades... :)

That's exactly what I expected a water battery to be. I don't think it's clickbait to call something storing energy mechanically a battery. I think the scare quotes are even there to stop you thinking it's a chemical bat

It's very irritating because it's the only way to refer to part of a long section. I'm going to have to start referring to paragraph numbers. Ugh.

It's a truly special place. I've had e-mail and a web presence since 2000 because of sdf.org. Long before I would have understood anything about setting up my own server. And I learned much of my core unix knowledge there.

I can't speak for this individual, but when kids are involved, it's normal to get tested and confirm, yes, you've gotten infected with influenza. A year pre-covid my whole family (kids first) got the flu. Viral test confirmed

Using mutt, I can edit e-mails in my Inbox. I sent one to myself with the subject "TODO" that I keep re-editing with any todo-list style stuff. It's been sitting in my inbox for a few months.
