    Looking at you ctrl+r in web outlook...I want to reload the page not reply to the email!

    Yeah I don’t like the glass effect and I realised it’s because it creates movement and drags your attention to things that should be background items. On the phone, video controls …

    Yep, which is really handy. I was specifically talking about copy and paste shortcuts being the same even in the terminal though.

    “Except the Terminal”… Of course in the Mac you have the same shortcut in every app because you use cmd+c/v It really bugged me that by default you use ctrl+shift+c/v on Linux but …

    I'm assuming since the Steam Deck push it's all changed. Either way, I don't tend to play AAA, but I've been able to play all the games I've wanted to without issue in Steam.

    I seem to remember one of the points was the way GNOMEs plugin system was implemented plugins have no isolation so one bad plugin can cause all sorts of problems. They were also li…

    Been a while since I used a MacBook but can't you do Shift+Opt (or just Opt?) Brightness+/- for an incremental change still? Works with volume too.

    RE 1. Just to be precise (as I thought this until recently): * liveness check will cause pod restarts. * Readiness check causes the pod to be removed from the round-robin of new tr…

    I see a lot of people go for Monday or Friday when going down to 4 days a week. There's definitely some advantages to that, however as an alternative suggestion I prefer Wednesdays…

    Super Mario 3D World is more like Sackboy so you’ll probably enjoy that, 3D world is more typical Mario levels, then Browsers Fury is more free form/open world platforming - both h…

    Yeah I know what you mean there’s surprisingly few games that hit the sweet spot. The latest sackboy is probably the best one I’ve played in that you both get to play a full charac…

    FYI some games my son has enjoyed that had reasonable difficulty and/or co-op so we can play together: * Super Mario Odyssey * Sackboy: A Big Adventure * Captain Toad: Treasure Tra…

    I understand the frustration, especially if your first impression of Apple is a MacBook Pro is in the 2016-2019 era - you've probably seen the worst MacBooks available and not the …

    Was just playing around locally and found one of the undescribed Irb improvements is a drop-down with autocompletion suggestions nice!

    Out of curiosity how come you never did one for Elixir as part of cooperpress? Half expected/hoped you’d start one at some point.

    Thanks for the detailed reply, really appreciate it. I'm gonna have a play with my setup and experiment along those lines.

    For the record I'd love this too, I just don't see it happening anytime soon. I've been thinking about this recently I'm not not sure the (vocal) Linux community would accept what …

    I do feel like things have gone downhill. I bought a mid-2009 13” MacBook Pro which easily lasted 9 years (with an ssd upgrade and more ram added at some point) and was honestly th…

    They have their place, I think we’ve been trained to expect to have to save/confirm changes. In non-critical places it can be delightful. However, I really couldn’t believe that cl…
