GitHub is deprecating their command palette feature. It's a shame because I use it all the time.

I just signed https://www.stopkillinggames.com and encourage you to do the same.

It's an initiative to stop game publishers from destroying games that their customers have bought, which somehow is currently legal. I hope that the initiative will spread in the future to more industries and […]

"Not my job"

Gräsand flög för snabbt – togs för fortkörning Polisen i den schweiziska staden Köniz utanför Bern kliar sig i huvudet efter att en gräsand fastnat på en av fartkamerornas bilder i mitten av april. Djuret flög i drygt 52 kilometer i timmen på sträckan där maxhastigheten är 30, skriver Berliner Zeitung.

Is there any open alternative to Linkedin? Is there one in the Fediverse? I hate the fact that Microsoft has monopoly on the job hunting market, and I despise the fact that I'm practically forced to use it when looking for jobs.

I get mildly annoyed when mobile-optimized versions of websites lack core functionality that the desktop version has.

I get furious when my web browser's "request desktop version" button gives me the same mobile version of said website.

To all the linguists out there, does the word "either" in the phrase "either A or B" add an "x" to its "or" to create "XOR" (exclusive OR)?: "A xor B".

Or is "either A or B" synonymus with "A or B" in the logical sense?

@scott Are you referring to the video where he tested where someone showing a message on a sign and filming it for five dollars would draw the line by submitting the worst possible message he could come up with and people tried to frame that as Pewdiepie being a nazi?

@scott ?

Pewdiepie's message in his latest video is excellent: we don't have to deal with Big Tech's bullshit and Linux and open source is fun and awesome. With his massive audience I'm hopeful that this might become a pivotal moment in the desktop Linux adaptation in the mainstream, especially in the […]

Ergonomic standing mat

My wife got me an ergonomic mat for my standing desk today for my 30th birthday, and I'm genuinely thrilled.

I think I'm officially old.

EU OS: A European Proposal for a Public Sector Linux Desktop There are many Linux distributions, but now there's a proposal for one that's specific to the European Union government and nongovernmental organizations.

Please make the Linux distro "EU OS" a thing! We need increased digital sovereignty, and to stop depending on Big Tech™ in the public sector

It's so incredibly dumb that you in iOS can't just select and copy any text you want, like you can on desktop operating systems.

I just want to copy this part of a text message or that part of a Mastodon post. The fact that the app has to explicitly allow me to do that, and it's basically just […]

Elmo and the orange guy in the White House

Imagine complaining about how a leader at war comes dressed to the White House when one week earlier you had the twitter guy in there dressed like this without anyone batting an eye

Trump voters are like sports fans. Even if they realize they're they're cheering for the worst team in the world they'll never switch teams, because it's part of their identity and they're loyal. All they can do therefore is to cheer.

Politics shouldn't be about cheering for teams. It should […]

Political cartoon by Michael de Adder depicts Putin literally taking the shirt off Trump’s back at a poker table while Trump thinks to himself, “nobody makes deals like me.”

@protonprivacy I noticed that a button saying "Add Zoom meeting" has started showing up when creating events in Proton Calendar. How come a supposedly privacy-centric service has integrated links to a Chinese Spyware platform? Why don't you link to Jitsi, Jami, BigBlueButton, or some other more […]

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Do you guys have suggestions for a good Mastodon desktop client for Linux? I currently just raw-dog the web-browser.

Is there a keyboard-centric one with a decently nice GUI?
