Starship exists. Oh-my-posh is not even remotely competitive. Starship is faster and has much nicer config. I moved off omp 2-3 years ago, when it was on v7, and the final straw was that there were enough braking changes that I had to versi

The blessing/curse dichotomy. You'd love to have this feature in your building, but you pray not to discover it because it will totally blow your scope.

My friend, I've worked in a Remedy system where tickets would routinely take over a minute to load. Senior management keeps buying shit, so shit is what the market offers.

I've tried a few commercial hdmi switches, to share a monitor between machines. The switch time is long and the monitor doesn't reliably wake up. Perhaps it's related to eDID? Do you know how that chip is for real-world usabi

Gov.uk can push a login system because it already has penetration across departments of the civil service. It has that because of political will to implement it, combined with a coherent design language implemented as a set of well-thought-

I'm early in my Linux journey. Would it be a good approach to symlink bash to some new name, say, snitch, then do snitch -c "curl blah.blah" Is there a better way without writing code?

Maybe by some measures. But you have to build a hydroponic system instead of just plopping seeds into the ground, so it's less efficient in that dimension.

My favourite book. Feersum Enjinn is, I think, a tribute. Also see The Book Of Dave, although it's no match for Riddley.

Ludicrous. You've conflated a preference for authenticity with wanting to be a victim of crime. Straw man much? There's a lot to unpack about the attitudes in your comment. I hope you were just having a bad day, because otherwise:

Bollocks. The word "censorship" has connotations of "suppressing truth". There's no uptick of truth. It's not censorship to flush a turd.

Imap library to dump the attachment, pandoc to convert it to html, then DOM library to parts it statically. Likely easier than website scraping.

The start of America's automotive golden age was ripe with innovation. You could buy a car in 1964 with methanol injection! They had turbos 20 years before Saab! Unfortunately for America, Europe's scarcity cars were not fit for h

I can, as a google admin, block links from outside the org; or, as a non-google admin, block google docs. The business may decide not to block, but if I have good SIEM then I can still do something, possibly inspect the file before it hits

Well, hyperlinks, SMTP, browser scripting (less so): these things come from a time when the internet was a community, not a venue for crime. The first viruses were from clever under-socialised children. It was a playground and everyone was

Sure, but in this instance, they're offering an anonymous service. Just require a sign-up and a captcha, like you do for all of your other products, FFS. Are they on drugs? Do they want more botnets, to drive DoS mitigation sales?

The internet _was_ a community. Now it's a wall of commercial property, riddled with victimising criminals and advertisements that watch you. There are still some communities in there, but the bulk of it is a set of actors with no soci

And let's also not conflate policing the good old internet with policing today's internet. There is still freedom that could be lost, but it's hard to see for all the trackers and malware.

Google used to indulge employees' interests. They fund, or used to fund, "the generator", a build shop in Reno. I know a Googler who openly worked on a small art project at the office, albeit a small part of the work. I'
