A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.

“Men must be stoic no matter what!”

“Men are such insensitive dolts!”

“All men are part of the patriarchy!”

…yeah, we’re not making it easy for men to show affection, are we?

The guys I go to tantra classes with are very affectionate, and it’s so lovely.

Cue the tune in my head. Thank you, it’s so lovely. 😍

Ah, you mean like the sync that Palm OS used to have? Yup, that was neat, and I’m still waiting for Android to pick up some of the neat features from back then.

I carry some because it’s no longer a thing. My card has only the information that I know will not change: my name, email address, and mobile phone number. On the back there’s a QR code (which contrasts the otherwise vintage look).

I hand out perhaps one per month so not super often, and many times the most appropriate thing to do is to simply tell people my phone number. But sometimes, especially when we’re in a situation where phones are not nearby, it’s quite effective to hand over a pre-made card with that info.

The average reaction is “Oh, cool” so even if they toss it once they’ve copied the info (which, tbh, is my expectation) it will still have made the exchange slightly out of the ordinary.

Plus, sometimes they’re useful to stop a table from rattling, or leave a message for someone who’s not currently present, and so on.

Sorry to nitpick… Tinnitus is more likely to introduce high-frequency sound than the 440Hz dial tone. If anything, that is the one frequency that old-timey phone techs would eventually struggle to hear…

On a similar note, back when I was playing a lot of shooters I would catch myself strafing around hallway corners at work 😅

Oh that is hilarious! Just on my first listen but I don’t quite get the lyrics - am deeply disappointed that the video doesn’t have subs. 🤭

Found it on Spotify. It’s so much worse with lyrics. Thank you for sharing a version without them! 🙏

Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.

Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting nofail and a time out of, say, 5s should work… but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?

How the hell do I set up my NAS (Synology) and laptop so that I have certain shares mapped when I’m on my home network - AND NOT freeze up the entire machine when I’m not???

For years I’ve been un/commenting a couple of lines in my fstab but it’s just not okay to do it that way.

What I would love is a bot that takes yt links and posts the corresponding title and description of the video.

Hey just a tip to make it a bit less of a hassle for you: you can smuggle things around toll booths, it’s easier.

What I am really looking for is beyond our email, it’s proper integration between calendar, contacts, and map.

I want to be able to share calendars with my family, and link contacts from certain events (birthdays, meetings, and also just meet-ups). I want those contact’s addresses to be available as navigation destinations in the mapping app. I want to be able to bookmark (“star”) map locations.

So close, yet so very wrong.

Yes, it’s technically correct (which we all know is the best kind of correct) and engineers would understand.

Using mm means most everyone (who knows metric) understands that in much more practical terms. A quarter of a tenth of thiiis much is a pretty damn tight fit.

Shift/Ctrl+Ins/Del unite! 😁 And yes, muscle memory is a powerful drug. Been using it since before Windows came along, kept using it after. Especially useful after I switched to Dvorak (and yes, I know of Colemak).

For a second, I thought this was going to be about Reavers…

Bluntly, where would Mozilla be without Google’s funding?

Gone, probably.

So while I agree that it is poisonous and there is something very wrong with Mozilla corporate structure, it is a necessary evil.
