This is why "side loading" needs to be normalised as a completely regular form of app installation. Far more resistant to censorship than relying on profit driven corporations "fig…

Except they do. One just has to look at the inability to keep JPEG-XL mainlined in Chromium. Sure, some forks still have JPEG-XL, but it's effectively gone at this point.

The Haast Eagle would be another interesting de-extinction... and preyed on Moa :)

It's kind of ridiculous that the US has held onto pennies for this long. New Zealand phased out our 5 cent coins back in 2006, approximately 3 US pennies worth at present.

I'm gutted; I absolutely love the Sculpt Ergonomic keyboard, especially with the optional slightly inverted slope, it's even more comfortable than previous ergonomic keyboard model…

I'm kind of surprised that New Zealand isn't available when Australia is. We tend to share a lot of regulatory standards and such.

I've also heard of a trick of integrating WoL with DNS, where if the server requests a lookup for a local IP, it'd send WoL packets to the destination. You'd probably just need to …

If the vscode extension did it all locally, I'd 100% install in an instant!

I've had zero issues deploying .Net on Linux, whilst developing in Windows. The docker support is really good, if you want to go that way too, and didn't need any platform-specific…

JSON really is a terrible serialization format. Even JavaScript can't safely deserialize JSON without silent data corruption. I've had to stringify numbers because of JavaScript, a…

I use winfsp/sshfs-win to remotely access my Haiku system, which works extremely well.

I use branches gratuitously, and push to my forks regularly as you do, but I also do interactive rebases and edits when preparing to push to upstream to clean up my mess.

Ah yeah, I got bit by that too! Haha

I think it's neat, and uh... what, type it in? Hahaha, sorry :p

Have to say that at least it was simpler to work with than digital displays as a user. I still have trouble with digital displays, EDID, getting __nothing__ when a signal is out of…

It allowed cunts as a guess today :p

I solved one the other week with repeated letters, answer was elder.

It's basically the digital equivalent of body shaming. And this sort of thing will feed into biased AI algorithms, and shape the world of "acceptable media" in the years to come. I…

They did not do this out of generosity or good will to small businesses. They did this for the PR, knowing that they're still rolling in the cash like Scrooge McDuck from all the y…

I quite like the convenience with the Kore remote for Android, great for my home cinema setup. But unfortunately updated packages on Ubuntu since moving, and now audio doesn't work…

It's non-free, but I really love Operator Mono.

Of course not. It just gets more to the point of the original article. Whilst publishing and upstreaming driver source code for Linux is awesome, it's still only a half-measure in …

There's a difference between drivers being upstreamed to the Linux kernel, and a datasheet being available. The source code is not the datasheet, and if there are bugs in the drive…

Visual Studio does a lot more than just visual designers. The integration for .NET is fantastic. And I love Visual Studio Code for everything else :) Visual Studio still has value.…

I'm especially excited for this as Realtek codec support, at least from looking at the Linux driver, has a substantial quirks layer. The datasheet right there on the page makes it …
