1·4 days agoI don’t get it? That description fits on the amoebas currently acting as “politicians” demanding Zelenskyy to say “thank you”.
50+ European here. Could you please explain in simple terms what “woke” is? I’ve seen it for years now and still don’t have any idea.
In my mind it’s a lumberjack shirted 30yo with a trimmed full beard and tattoos working as a barista. That’s how little I know of it… Sorry!
4·5 days agoI was the lucky owner of a rare FingerWorks Touchstream keyboard for many years. If you don’t know it, it’s the precursor to the keyboards used in Star Trek Enterprise.
It’s a keyless keyboard. Two large flat mousepads with a keyboard layout printed on top, and you type by pure touch. There’s no mouse; the surface just cleverly detects when you are doing mouse gestures. Or a lot of other gestures.
Trekkie joke aside, it’s actually the magic tech that made the iPhone possible. Of course Apple didn’t invent anything, they bought existing future tech.
I miss that keyboard. They still sell on ebay, for 1400$!
Yeah because the ending (and severance last seasons) of Lost was a big unlubed middle finger. Effing waste of time.
Teams (Classic), actually.
Some EU countries (and the City of Munich) habe tried to shift from MS to Linux. It didn’t pan out, but maybe this is the decade where it could be done?
Imagine getting EU funding to run basically the EU IT department - best Linux, best management, supporting open Office suites, and establishing an EU cloud operation. One can dream, right?
I guess it didn’t work well last time partly because of re-training needs, interoperability issues, etc.
If you’re one of the folks that didn’t vote, then please feel guilty for the absolute moron you got. Regards, Europe.
I’ve had much joy from using ‘windsurf’, the VSCode clone with the stupidest name.
I speak four languages at native level, because I can change languages mid sentence and you wouldn’t know which one is my actual origin language (hint: it’s two).
I’m more than fluent. Fluent just means you can speak in complete coherent sentences without hesitation. You can do this but still have a strong accent - like many of the Indian tech wizards, for instance.
Native, to me, means that it’s practically indistinguishable from a person that grew up in that country, and you can’t tell that I didn’t actually grow up in that country.
1·11 months agoI’m in Europe and I have never in my life seen a gas station that dispenses every fuel through just one hose.
Every fuel has its own hose and “pistol”. Each “pump” has two or three or four hoses.
Except Mr Spiner 🖖
Heh, if only I were in a position to change anything. Maybe bosmang should be smarter, and move it from OneDrive to SharePoint. Who gonna explain it to him?
Can I view sharepoint in the file explorer, or is that only in the browser?
Notepad++ FTW!
I am not disagreeing with you - but would it not be just as likely that if the horse was not a viable choice, humans would domesticate some other animal - cow, deer, etc.
Imagine warriors come riding on a friggin’ elk!
Ka.
Ka Yak.
Yeah, at USB 2.0 speeds.
If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is!
