Just call it Ecmascript and be done with it. The name JavaScript was misleading from the beginning. Well, Ecma sounds like a skin disease but who cares.

They could be sentient without us knowing. But they live on a different time scale. Everything we do to them would happen very quickly in their perception. So don’t worry and bon appetit.

Serious question: Was there ever an intel GPU which could be used to play 3d graphics intensive games? The only chips I came across so far were woefully underperforming laptop chips with fancy names.

Nice catch. Thanks!

EDIT: I was wrong. This is in Erfurt, Germany.

That might be Switzerland. White frames around traffic lights are not typical for Germany. And the sign itself would likely have a white background instead of a yellow one. Also there is a Molly Malone Pub with a similar typography as the one in the ad in Winterthur, Switzerland.

And yes, it’s a very boring day today

From the article: “It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law”

End of story.

Because you said that was not the point of the article and I asked you to clarify why you think it wasn’t. But never mind. This is going nowhere.

Why not? If the starting point of the article is that we can’t design interfaces based on our elitist 5 percenter knowledge then the remedy for that would be…?

I’m using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I’m a bit worried about long term distro support

I wonder why user tests aren’t even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience

This happened just this morning. Probably not the dumbest thing ever, and I blame Snap for putting things where they don’t belong: I deleted stuff from the /run/user/1000/doc directory. Turns out the files there are in fact hard links to files which actually reside somewhere else. Well, they were, until I deleted them forever.

Background: Firefox (as an Ubuntu snap package) downloads files in some kind of sandbox mode and references stuff there for some obscure reason. That was my weekly reminder to get rid of snap packages because snap sucks in a myriad of ways.

Nextcloud? As an enterprise grade solution? That’s just ridiculous, sorry.

Oh, I just updated manually and found the option “mark read on scroll”. That should fix it.

Thank you! Jerboa is by far my favorite Lemmy App. Good Work!

There are some media reports claiming that there was simply another unidentified participant in the conference call and they didn’t notice. 🤷

It’s a little bit worse than that in fact. “Programmiererinnen und Programmierer” or “Programmierer:innen” or “Programmierende”. And if you get it wrong you are not a grammar nazi but more of a regular nazi.

/s just in case

I know this is posted in funny, but whatever. You could still login locally using keyboard and monitor. Uncool, but it works

It doesn’t. It’s a right wing attempt to generate social friction and to get attention by focusing on rage bait topics for their prospective voters

Is it? I was under the impression that french people generally despise being told what to do by the government.

On the other hand, passing a ban on smartphones that is not legally binding and can safely be ignored sounds more like it.

Having a dedicated technical architect who hovers above the dev team handing architectural decisions down is also not always seen as an ideal construct in software development.

If you tell your kid McD is something special then whenever you pass a McD it will feel a craving and want it. This is how brand obedient consumers are made. If instead you let them have McD for a week or two they will see the food for what it is.

Fsst food chains hate this simple trick
