TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.

Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn’t been touched in 6 years.

As the saying goes: capitalism, shareholder value and such things seem as inevitable today as the divine right of kings once did…

Match of the Day theme where I live. (It’s probably playing in your head now, sorry).

It was Greensleeves where I grew up, halfway around the world.

Same result: synchronised yells from nearby houses of “Muuuuum… iiiiiice creeeeeeam!”

…capable of sonic boom flying…

Was that headline written by the headline editor’s child?

I’ve never heard of a sonic boom flying before. It’s called supersonic flight.

I run this in a Docker container on my home network without connecting it to their cloud platform (despite their - increasingly strident, it feels - “encouragements” to do so). It’s very powerful, and the majority of low level configuration is done via text files. But 99% of it is automatic.

The UI is unique. It’s a single, long and scrollable page, which may be an issue for some.

There are other tools out there, too. I previously used one that integrates Grafana, Prometheus and Node Exporter, which is more complex to set up and configure.

If sex is the question, I think yes (or thank you) is really the only appropriate answer…

Hadn’t seen that before. Love it. 😄

This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.

To me, claiming that any platform is “killing” any demographic’s podcasting capability is screaming “I know absolutely nothing about podcasts”.

YMMV. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Finally. I’ve been using <blah>.arpa ones for years.

Noticed this today by chance, as I was looking through its settings and found the new entry. This was after I was made to agree to new ToS for that app specifically and had declined to tick the “give us more data” option.

What bugs me about this is that it’s enabled by default.

And I’m in a jurisdiction that requires opt in. I expect they’ve done the analysis and decided that it’ll cost less to pay any fines than it will make them in ad revenue. Just a cost of business.

As they say: if a crime’s punishment is financial, then it’s “legal for a fee.”

Two of my favourites are:

• I’m touching cloth.
• Dropping the kids off at the pool.

It’s a net positive, not a negative: using ESDF means you have a bunch of keys available to the left of your movement keys.

Sure, it can be a pain if a game forces WASD, but otherwise you’re not the person having to lift your hand off the movement keys (or buying an MMO mouse) to have the same flexibility. 😄

I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.

Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…

Terrifying. I did mine nearly 30 years ago with nothing more than a couple of years of decent salary and the belief I’d be able to get a similar salary elsewhere if needed.

It worked out in the end. I’m in IT, and ended up working for a startup that floated and the monopoly moneyoptions became actual money, so was able to pay off my mortgage the year before COVID hit. It’s made things immeasurably easier.

Not sure how things would be in the current situation of gigs, near-zero job security, etc. Really feel for those of you in that boat. It suuucks.

But life goes on. Roll the dice and trust that you can make the best of it, I think?

Edit: Ask yourself if you want to keep paying off someone else’s mortgage and own nothing, or pay off your own.

Nearing? I’m already there and I’m the young 'un in my group of gaming buddies. The eldest is in his 60s and we’re all playing most evenings.

Mezzanine is the gold standard for me, but always good to explore and expand.

I use Voyager on Android phone and iPad.

It’s not perfect, but it’s the least sucky Lemmy experience I’ve had so far.

Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?

This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.

Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!

I second this, as it’s my use case.

Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview’s DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.

Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.
