Depends on your computing platform.

I see another reply has already covered Linux.

On a Mac, press and hold a character key and a list of accent characters will appear. There are also dead key combinations using the option key to enter special characters directly.

There’s a chance Liz Truss could lose her seat this time. She previously had a large majority but her failed stint as PM tarnishing her and a strong challenge by a local independent could unseat her.

Global pork markets will never be the same again.

From the results that have come in so far, the right wing populist party Reform UK is quickly rising as a new political force. They’ve placed second in at least three constituencies so far.

If Starmer’s Labour fail to make visible progress to the country’s fortunes we could be facing a Trump moment in the form of Nigel Farage.

I like containers. But they do have a habit of nurturing cludgy temporary hacks into permanent infrastructure, by sweeping all the ugly bits under the big whale-shaped rug.

There was a similar thing done as an art installation between London and New York called the Telectroscope in 2008. Apparently it was the site of a few marriage proposals.

Look how far we’ve come…

This is how I take pictures, I take pictures of the things I am seeing so I can look back at those moments later. I don’t experience life in third person, observing myself from overhead like a video game, so why would I want myself in the pictures?

Compiz won over so many new users back then. Wobbly windows and desktop cubes may not have been super practical, but they sure looked impressive.

The wording of the new App Store rules say developers are responsible for any software offered in an app, and there’s been a bit of debate going on as to what that means in practice.

I haven’t heard if any emulators have or haven’t passed Apple’s review process yet.

The Panasonic Toughbook has always been the go-to line for rugged laptops.

You may not need such a ruggedised device for workshop use though. I use an older ThinkPad as a secondary laptop for grubbier jobs and environments. It’s taken a real beating and still works fine, and has survived having all sorts spilled and sprinkled over it, hoovers clean with no issues. Easy to service and replace parts too when necessary.

Linux compatibility is also great, which might be more challenging for some of the exotic or specialist portable computer options out there.

Just go for it. At the end of the day it’s only internet points.

Rationing downvotes could help break the groupthink while still providing a crowdsourced method of controlling spam and trolls. Other platforms have systems like this and it seems to work.

I think there have been some Lemmy instances that disable downvotes entirely also.

And how the fuck does the rotting fish bag get through security?

In terms of privacy in public, the Vision Pro isn’t much different from Google Glass. Both have video recording capabilities, and both displayed some form of indication when recording.

The only real difference is that the Vision Pro is easier to spot in public due to the bulkier design.

It will be interesting to see if there will be similar “Glasshole” reaction to the Vision Pro once they are seen in public enough.

Have you visited a website without an ad blocker recently? Because typical web advertising has become as intrusive and annoying as technically possible, and millions of people willingly accept that.

VR/AR/Spatial Whatever has the potential to be just as bad, if not far worse.

It’s the power of marketing. Apple have crafted a strong brand with broad appeal, which gives the launch of any new product line a wide reach.

Focusing the Vision Pro more on productivity and apps has probably helped in this specific case too. All of the other big consumer VR systems have been heavily focused around gaming. Gaming is a lot more popular than it used to be, but it’s still anathema for a lot of people.

That’s one of the big problems with maths teaching in the UK, it’s almost actively hostile to giving any sort of context.

When a subject is reduced to a chore done for its own sake it’s no wonder most students don’t develop a passion or interest in it.

But what if you are privacy conscious and poor?

Nice Lugia and Ho-Oh Legend cards!

Cypher was right. Ignorance is bliss.

The distributed computing explanation for purpose of the Matrix doesn’t seem to make much more sense than the power plant one.

All of the nodes are continuously occupied by living in the simulation. Unless the machines had a desperate need to understand human society circa 1999, there is nothing useful the machines could do with all the brain power.
