My 2012 MacBook Pro has exactly the opposite behaviour on a clean install across multiple distros. The brightness keys do nothing until after a suspend, then work fine until the next reboot. Never found a fix.

Yeah, I was a huge fan of that person going to that length, and saying they’d argued with their girlfriend about it, haha

Clearly a task beyond many dog owners of Brighton, sadly

Confusingly both. The name is from the red panda, but the icon is absolutely a fox!

This article immediately had me searching in confusion over whether the logo is a fox or meant to be a panda! What is your logo? Fox or red panda?

Indeed I do!

I was thinking the other day how much cooler flap displays at stations and airports were compared to modern displays.

Such a nice interface between computer control and a purely mechanical display. Watching them update, flipping through all the variables to land on the right one, and then clearing was so cool.

I miss the noise they made too. Haven’t seen one for like 20 years now.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

To me “do you believe in ghosts?” and “do you believe in UFOs?” are basically the same question.

It depends how loaded the word “ghost” (or UFO) is in your mind.

Do I believe we have an immortal soul, or that consciousness can exist outside of a human or animal brain? Do I believe in angels, demons, spirits and entities etc? Absolutely not.

But do I believe that people who aren’t lying, and are being 100% genuine, truthfully report seeing things we cannot explain? Yes. Whether it’s pure hallucination of the human mind or something else that is genuinely being witnessed I don’t know and don’t suggest to know.

As proof that “ghosts” don’t actually need to be anything to do with the dead, I saw my mum at home once as a child, when she wasn’t really there at the time. She’s was wearing clothes she owned, but not what she was wearing that day. She was and still is very much alive. I’ve always remembered that I didn’t make this up, but the memory is too distant and vague at this point for me to put any real trust in it now.

Maybe I genuinely saw something unexplainable. Or maybe our brain hardware that generates the reality we perceive around us can occasionally vividly generate what isn’t really there. Who knows.
