I got it installed last weekend, really powerful mobile OS. I did do about three weeks of research, as I worried that maybe a number of apps wouldn't run on it or needed some form of deep attestation. Didn't find much, OpsGenie an

Got DDG set as the default search engine in Firefox. Saw the error, immediately typed "duckduckgo status" into the address bar and searched - in DDG. Not my smartest moment.

I use fish with the sponge plugin that omits any command that doesn't return an error code 0. Combined with ones like `z` to jump around directories, I reckon my history is pretty tidy. Anything important and convoluted, I'll shov

I got to "Mary Little" before I realised my virtual leg was being pulled. Deary me. Hope Mary Little's lamb is doing well.

Ok, that was fun. Pipped Ginko to the win by one point, they should've calculated the last square was a flag faster than I did. It'd be cool to be able to put your own name in though, without signing in. Just a suggestion.

Ahh, I used to have that opinion, but I've encountered too many "It's fine if they want it, I've got nothing to hide" people. (They never give you their Facebook password if you ask, though. Funny, that.) Change wha

Aye must be. Alt+Caps is just toggling Caps Lock here. Shouldn't haven't modified anything for it, do my utmost best to just use WSL for work.

Alt+Space is currently used in Windows for the keyboard layout switcher if you've got 2+ configured, at least on my setup. I use it to switch from UK layout to US (long story).

I mean, you can just go and plug in the same prompt into ChatGPT and cut out the middleman, really. Just did it for a laugh, and for "High Rise" it recommended "The Road" and "The Dispossessed". Sounds about ri

There's also the case in the video (0:59) where the player jumps into the poison but doesn't take damage for a few seconds then takes two doses back-to-back - they should've taken a hit of damage every ~500-1000ms(?) Guessing

Not enough people realise you can spin up a cheap Hetzner instance, install Navidrome and use that as very functional Spotify-like experience. Bring in your music you've got on a USB, Bandcamp and others in one place. Then you get to p

I moved to Navidrome a few months ago, I only listen to the same few albums. Didn't make much sense to cough up the 11 quid to stick with it.

A testament to how few of us used Microsoft's CodePlex that nobody really remembers it, and wasn't mentioned in the article. It had docs, issues and source code sections back then, but I can't remember if some of those featur
