It's clearly a joke in the vein of being able to recreate Dropbox with an FTP account, curlftpfs, and SVN/CVS.

Well they did go to the trouble of using the date April 1st in the gif!

I love this, and the post made a complex topic easy to follow for a mere mortal like me. Including images of tables with no alt text is a bit of a barrier though, especially when the company is called Cognition.

There's a gov.uk wallet app and digital service in beta already. I don't think it does very much yet. https://www.gov.uk/wallet It's backed by gov.uk one login, which is already a database that contains a fai

I guess it depends on the style of serrated edge. But if you look at commercial tomato knives you'll see they're all serrated.

by petepete 1y ago
Yeah if it's sharp enough it'll be fine. All tomato knives are serrated though, they glide through allowing thin, delicate slices. https://sabre-paris.co.uk/collections/tomato-knife

Were you cutting tomatoes with a serrated knife? If not, you should be - they do a far better job.

For me it was because I'm right handed and if I was holding a gun with both hands I'd move my right hand down to aim up. It just makes sense that way. I can't adjust.

I've not found anything better. I still use my 2019 X1 Carbon, it still gets firmware updates frequently and has been rock solid. Everything worked out of the box with Linux except the fingerprint reader. About a fortnight after I boug

When a supermarket's own clothing brand has its own TLD. What a time to be alive. Just checked underpants.george and, disappointingly, it's not being used.

The first thing that sprang to mind was the movie Metropolis.

Despite its name, only 45% of London Underground is underground. As I recall only 3 or 4 lines are entirely subterranean, most run on the surface once they are out of the centre.

I wish all my todo items had 2-3 words. This looks fine with the examples but I bet it’s not so clean with realistic data.

Ah thanks. I did a quick search before posting and this article was listed as from 2019, but that was when it was last updated - it did just happen once in 2012. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/mark-shuttlewort

A few times over the years Ubuntu included Amazon ads in the OS. Each time, afaik, the community reacted angrily and it didn't last.

I do this too, but with a text file per day. I have my 3 favourite bindings from vimwiki in my config and have used this 'system' for years without any problems. <leader>ww = go to diary home <leader>

If you'd have told me a couple of years ago that DHH and PewDiePie would be vocal Linux evangelists in 2025, I'd have thought you were nuts.

The group of devs makes all the difference. In my current role (contracting at a gov dept in a part that uses Rails and PostgreSQL) it's about 30% using vim or neovim. In the rest of the department where it's .net and Microsoft al

Similarly, I have two sets of dotfiles, a public one and a private one (hosted on my own server). Somehow, 11 people have starred my public ones on GitHub.

Totally missed that - makes sense, thanks! I assumed Plasma was a rebranding so was surprised to see KDE making a comeback.
144.
by petepete 1y ago
But I thought kwin was the window manager. And that the DE in KDE stands for Desktop Environment, so it's weird that it's actually an organisation.

by petepete 1y ago
I’m more confused about the difference between KDE and Plasma.

Yeah, that was exactly it. Unifi have a special page in their docs for dealing with Sonos. https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/18930473041047-Best-Pr... I ended up connecting everything with a wired connect

I'd pay too for a version without sponsored shortcuts and suggestions. I don't want Mozilla to sink so I see why they've done this kind of thing in the past, but I really don't like it.

Yeah the article says they're moving to ban mass produced videos "that have become easier to generate with the help of AI technology." It doesn't say they're only banning AI-generated stuff. I'm pretty sure he&
