An abstract painter whose thing was overlaid rectangles in prime colors.

Many, many moons ago (must have been around 2006?) I managed to procure a FingerWorks. It was magic, like holding a piece of computing history!

It allowed a lot of the gestures we take for granted, to switch applications or workspaces, to go back a page, etc. But it also had really cool stuff. You could bind gestures like twisting your fingers clockwise to open a file (just like opening a jar!) or counterclockwise to close it. Pinch and zoom for copy and paste.

I was only able to get a hold on a Dvorak copy. And because the key labels were printed on the board, you couldn’t really change the layout. Getting used to a split layout, no keys and Dvorak at the same time was too much and I had to sell it again. But I’ve been using split keyboards ever since!

My issue wasn’t SMB, but automounting the share. As in, turn on wireless, the share is available. I’m coming from Linux and am pretty clueless with MacOS.

My SO has a MacBook, and I thought no sweat, I’m sure I can just autofs or something onto the NAS so that the photo storage is always there. I was wrong. Why dies it have to be such a pain? So clunky, so unreliable.

My girlfriend and I visited family in Florida and did a road trip down to Key West. I got the first album from Gorillaz and it was pretty much the only thing we listened to the whole time down US1.

And now, over 20 years later, I still get this relaxed cruising feeling and can smell the humid, salty air. Just wonderful.

So if Mozilla wants to monetize location data, what does this mean for all the custom ROMs that use Mozilla’s location provider instead of Google’s?

This might mean that we would have no true free location provider left.

Edit: just was thinking, what does this mean for Firefox forks that also use Mozilla’s location service?

Not really. I was quite surprised when they recently celebrated 40k users.

I remembered using Vivaldi a while back, I think I’ll look into it again.

So I haven’t been following the Firefox thing that closely. Fennec isn’t an alternative because it uses Firefox’s Sync and Brave is out of the question because it’s crypto Chrome?

Is the company whose owner is famous for quips like “minimum wage is a shame”, or “if you can work from home, you’re not needed”?

Germany sadly has a long history of great companies that couldn’t get with the times and disappeared. While I like some of Trigema’s ideals, it’s badly in need of some fresh ideas.

I didn’t ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.

As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.

And the text rendering (at least for me with flatpaks) is completely fuzzy garbage.

DNS calls are definitely cached. You’ll have to wait a few days until your TV refreshes DNS entries.

Congratulations! So, how does the TV work with the adblocker set up?

The rule of law has eroded. You have a convicted felon in office who has brushed away an impeachment and is in control of all branches of government. So what is next now?

This is not about natural resources or national security, but Russian influence in the US government, and trying to normalize imperialism.

I wouldn’t call it gaslighting or even hallucination, but just getting things mixed up. I described Bart Simpson and asked if it could tell me which character from which show I meant. There is a Gomer Pyle who appears in several episodes of the Simpsons and does have pointy hair. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t wear a helmet and bandana. But Gomer Pyle is also a figure in the Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle USMC, which aired in the 60s.

I know it’s not DeepSeek, but this is what I got out of the Reasoner V1 model in GPT4All (“Based on Qwen2.5-Coder 7B”). Use local models with care!

“financial contribution”

That doesn’t sound mafia-like at all.

Learn to code and you will never stop complaining.
