My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. “it is so because we say it is”.

automatically read aloud

Oof. I’ve got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

⨂︎ and ⌽︎ not getting the love they deserve.

On mine it’s only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

Edit: Here’s the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

thousands

While technically correct, with $700k, I would argue that, “almost a million dollar” would give me a better picture of the scale of the problem than just “thousands”.

Hello from across the fedi-pond. Good job and wishing you all the best.

Apes Fediverse together strong!

Me in the late 90s: CSS is not a language!

Today: Holy crap, it’s now Turing-complete.

“It’s a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?”

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven’t played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Turns out it’s NOT just your standard deck of playing cards. You can do all sorts of crazy things to your deck. Like playing illegal hands such as five-of-a-kind, or a flush house. It’s a lot of fun.

Obligatory link to the Rustonomicon.

Should you wish a long and happy career of writing Rust programs, you should turn back now and forget you ever saw this book.

I lost it at Liberace. Also apparently this is the official colour of Liberace

Speaking of stores, there’s also Obtainium if you like living on the edge. It can pull directly from GitHub releases, which may or may not be desirable for different people.

Another obvious one is Firefox or its siblings Mull & Fennec, with their add-on support for a better browsing experience.

There’s also system-wide ad/tracker blocking solutions. I don’t actually have a recommendation on this as most of them share each other’s blocklist anyway.

I just pulled 500 randomly. I don’t know how long it would take me to throw the gamepad and reach for the mouse. 50 might be more realistic. The point is just to prevent accidental bumps.

I also came in with that comment fully expecting younger and much faster players with their 240Hz monitors to disagree profusely.

Ideal for me is auto-switching with a debounce time.

There’s been a few incidents where I’m using my gamepad and accidentally bumped my desk/mouse and completely lose my orientation in game. With a debounce, one form of input needs to have completely stopped for a certain period (say 500ms) before starting to register movements on the other input device.

Or, short of that… If you’re whistleblowing on Boeing, you should go to Airbus and Lockheed and tell them, “it’s in your best interest that I stay breathing”.

For the uninitiated

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.

Nah. He’ll just claim the trophy for himself. And second and third place while he’s at it.

To be fair, I’m all for whatever medium would allow science communication be more effective. And for certain demographics, videos are the only thing they could digest, even for things that don’t need visuals. It is what it is, and I’m not in a position to judge.

But yeah, for people like us with one foot on the grave, every minute counts. And nothing beats the efficiency of skim-reading through text.
