Not me! I spent most of the weekend in VR No-Mans-Sky exploring a made-up galaxy, and when someone tried to speak to me near the meetup-for-missions place I ran away.

Oh. :(

Thanks. Will try and have a look next time I'm forced to boot into windows. Used to be that Windows users would complain that Linux made them edit arcane config files, I guess now …

Really what I want is for the task-bar to not send everything to a search-engine anyway. I don't want web-results in a task-bar-search at all. I'm trying to launch a program, not t…

Presumably they make more money with the user-hostile version and the user isn't paying so...

I press it as soon as I see a popup about cookies or login or sales or basically anything at all. I press it when there's a paywall. I press it when the site doesn't do dark-mode. …

Well. A Russian company, DDos-Guard, did host Parler in the end didn't they? And sure enough, the FBI is investigating. Signal is a charity rather than a company, but dunno if that…

If they have telescopes then the trails from star-link satellites would probably give it away. The ants in the article were in driveways though.

Fermi's paradox says nothing about how likely aliens are to visit earth. It notes that we can't see any sign of them when we look into the sky. Perhaps the humans don't care about …

Latency probably matters more than bandwidth in a case like this. Gotta pay for the direct-fibre for the ping as much as the volume. Congestion is gonna mean you always need slack.…

We are using Jamulus, and I won't try and pretend that it's great, but it's just about workable. https://sourceforge.net/projects/llcon/

My band haven't really been able to get into a room together since about March, mostly it's not even been legal but even during the time when it was legal we figured it was probabl…

Eh? When I'm elsewhere it can continue to not have the passwords to anyone else's wifi.

I don't own one of them, but I would surely be able to instruct my router to put it in jail like I can every other device. LAN-only.

Indeed. "All your work is instantly synced to the cloud" Ugh. Nope nope nope. But now maybe sounds like I could turn that off and just rsync the files to my Debian tower. That is m…

You borrow some money, buy a house, do it up, sell it for more, pay off the debt with some left over for your trouble. That's using debt as a tool to make more money than you could…

Was just thinking about how I'm nearly going to be getting the payoff from not playing any No Man's Sky until there's a VR version. And here's another proceduraly generated univers…

Yep. Hadn't noticed Internal had disappeared, but indeed it has. Suppose there's not really any need for it with Eevee existing now.

The new renderer, Eevee, is brilliant and fast and is only one of the many great improvements to what was already one of my favourite bits of software. Some of the best open-source…

Usually if there's some news story that people are talking about and I dunno what the story is about I'll do a Google News search on it to find out. Often can't do a normal google …

Has it though? Does nobody else use a file-browser any more? I'm mostly command-line but even I use a file-browser fairly often.

Cool, good to know. Cheers.

Yep, also using an external charger to keep mine going. My batteries are swelling. I suspect it's no longer safe really. :-?

Oh, man, I forgot it had that FM-Transmitter. That was so cool. So many of us miss that phone.

I am finding Flesky much better than any of the swyping keyboards. I installed it mostly so I could customize the backdrop, but I stayed because those few added gestures make prose…
