When someone named Kafka says it’s the “weirdest”…that says something!
I learned the term “glass cliff” when she was hired.
The rest of the page? Probably. I stopped reading after the comic.
They don’t really use the major.minor.bugfix scheme anymore. If they did, they wouldn’t be at version 117.
I tend to think of them all as minor updates that add up over time, like a rolling release with numbers.
And even when you can, saving files one by one from Wayback is a lot slower than re-uploading your local copy to a new server
I was expecting this to be a half-baked plan to block something using a less-than-half-baked definition that would also cover security updates.
The fact that someone actually thinks explicitly blocking security updates is a good idea is just appalling.
Even better: the one-star review on the pre-order page complaining that it’s not out yet!
Assuming you mean the save-to-read-later functionality, I hear good things about Wallabag. You can even self-host it if you want.
A backpack solves both problems!
KDE Plasma handles the touch screen fine on my PineTab2.
It works in LxQt too, but only in portrait mode (which is the default for this device). I keep meaning to look up how to tell it to rotate the touch coordinates along with the display, and I keep not getting around to it.
But the main issue I’ve run into is that most GUI apps for Linux are…let’s just say they’re not designed with touch input in mind.
I’ve been using the Firefox Translations extension that this is probably building on. Also runs entirely in the client.
Having this built into the browser is going to be a great selling point.
I’ve been using it for a while now. Currently on the “main” instance, cross-posting reviews to my website.
As others have said: followers yes, posts, no. Some other Fediverse platforms can migrate posts, though, and I believe Firefish (previously known as Calckey) is able to import posts from Mastodon as well as from other instances of itself.
I used names of fictional robots, androids and self-aware computers (though I avoided HAL for obvious reasons) for a long time. These days my wife and I usually go with an indirect reference to the function or hardware - Ex. a device named Anathema, or a Raspberry Pi server named Marie (as in Marie Callendar, a former local pie/restaurant chain). I had an expendable frankenputer for tinkering that I called RedShirt.
Currently trying to come up with a name other than Chris for the PineTab 2.
Edit to add: Places I’ve worked have used Roman emperors, drink brands, Simpsons characters, and of course basics like “IIS1” “MAIL4” “QA-3” and so on. Some would add numbers to the names sequentially, others would use the last octet of the IP address.
At least until the NUCs run out, now that Intel’s discontinuing them
I tried setting up both for a local music server last year, and found Plex’s cloud requirements and constant upselling were more of a pain than it was worth. Jellyfin was the one I kept.
Makes sense. Thanks!
Similar experience here, esp. with the comments.
It’s unclear what evidence Twitter has that former employees who now work at Meta continue to have access to Twitter intellectual property or trade secrets. Twitter responded to a request for comment with an automated email of a poop emoji.
Or for once the poop emoji is an accurate representation of the “evidence.”
Stopped clock and all that.
Same here. I have a few applications that I had to specifically turn on Wayland support for (Thunderbird & Vivaldi, for instance), and a lot that work just fine, and the ones I have issues with are mostly the X-only apps running on Xwayland, which tend to be less stable than they were directly under X, but there are only a few that I still use.
