I guess that’s what instances are trying to avoid by preemptively blocking Threads. If everyone else blocks it then Lemmy carries on existing as it is. And I can’t imagine big corpo wouldn’t want to create their own name.

Either they federate and all their users are exposed to the rest of the fediverse, or they don’t and they may as well be a separate thing

That’s going to cost him more than €50

Yeah that’s the exact issue I fixed yesterday: the Super (Windows) key is configured to open the whisper (start) menu and this overrides any of the other xfce keyboard shortcuts like moving windows around.

The fix was to go into Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts and change the one that’s set by default to open the whisper menu (xfce4-popup-whiskermenu) to something else. I found some bug reports saying that the problem is that xfce doesn’t expect shortcuts that are “modifier only” (as in only the Super key), and once I changed that one then the shortcuts to move windows around suddenly started working.

No idea why distros ship with this configuration already broken, but hopefully this helps!

Which keyboard shortcuts do you mean specifically? I think I fixed this exact issue earlier today!

Even their website can’t handle that many zeros!

If find myself writing anything I’d call a “program” (rather than just a script) in bash then it’s time to think about using a proper language rather than a shell script, let alone awk or sed!

Given how used I am to every statement by a politician or business being this slick, polished, carefully re-drafted beige speech it’s a real contrast to see someone like Torvalds just blasting out their thoughts

It’s ideal for someone who really doesn’t understand computers (so can’t be relied on to install updates etc) if you don’t want to have to be tech support as much as for a “proper” OS

I posted this xkcd a couple of weeks ago, it’s always relevant!

Look, it’s fast and very reliable. Explains all the children, really.

Nice, I’ll have an investigate, thanks

Careful what you wish for, if Firefox dies now (before alternatives are viable) then Google owns the web and no new browser engines will be able to even get a sniff of a foot in the door!

Ooh that’s interesting to know! Though I do make use of Cryptomator on my phone too, is rclone on Android in a useable state?

The important stuff is in cloud storage using Cryptomator (I’m hoping that rclone should make sync simple), I should probably set up time shift in case things do go wrong

Quite the opposite actually, their price changes have always been way off inflation!

First MP with their finger truly on the pulse of the nation

It seems pretty on-brand for King Sir Prince Charles though, maybe I just want to believe!

The phrase “asked her husband” implies it was 2005 at the earliest, which I think is pretty embarrassing

Ooh interesting, I’ve been considering what to do when my Pebble eventually packs in, do you think this is a worthy replacement?
