Are you talking about the bookmarks bar?

If so, I had to use “customise toolbar” to drag it onto the space.

Hah! It’s funny because it’s true!

Because the “you wouldn’t steal a car” nonsense scares a lot of people off

Because some people want to support the creators of content but digital downloads from iTunes or whatever are more expensive than getting a month of a streaming service

Because there is a level of convenience of having thousands of hours of content at your fingertips without having to store content locally or finding it on a “dodgy” website. Setting up torrents / usenet is more work than giving someone your credit card number

Because a lot of people don’t know where to find content and if they did they don’t know the difference between a 480p avi vs a 2160p HDR DV MKV and get confused with torrents and file formats and how to get them on their TV.

Because - at the moment - the ads aren’t that bad, I got one ad at the start and one episode in the middle of an episode of Gen V - obviously they’ll add more until it’s as bad as cable but they’re not there yet.

I wish Kagi wasn’t as expensive as it is.

If it was $5 a month for unlimited searches I would be all over it but 300 searches is too few and $10 is too much money.

It’s easier and more efficient to wrap yourself up with blankets and covers and use minimal heating (with decent home insulation) to warm yourself up than it is to cool down when you are too hot.

I would love to see it!

Nearly 36 degrees (that's 96 Freedom Units) in the Arctic circle?!?

How is this not bigger news?!

We're so fucked :(

I think there is a big difference between the passive warming / cooling of clothing vs the huge energy requirement, spent resources and emissions required to basically run your entire home / office / factory / hotel as a giant fridge.

Humans probably shouldn’t be living in these conditions if they can’t survive without AC, no?

Agreed.

I would be hyped to play a new version of actual Marathon, it’s a game that existed before my time and was only on Mac before they were cool so basically no one played it.

This is just a different skin on a genre that has no interest whatsoever to me.

When it’s done right, it’s amazing. The problem is that (here in the UK) it’s just terrible.

Example, going from London to Edinburgh

A flight takes 1h30m and costs £33 A train takes 4h26m and costs £178

Yes there are other monetary costs involved (driving to the airport, parking) and other time costs involved (you need to be at the airport 90 minutes early) but the headline price make a flight seem like much better value for time and money.

Trains are also often late or cancelled, this seems to happen much less with flights.

Until flights are taxed to hell people aren’t going change their habits.

 

I posted this on Reddit a year or so ago but some may have missed it so I figured I’ll drop it here too :)

 

I’m having a hell of a time with my current ISP (sitting at 18 days now without a connection) and I’m having to bite my tongue every time I’m talking to them (Remember The Human and all that)

Whilst the front line support are nice people and answer the phones quickly they are honestly pretty useless and they never really sound like they know what they’re talking about, also seemingly none of the departments seem particularly good about communicating what’s going on so it’s hard to get a straight and useful answer out of them.

Have you ever lost it with a rep? What happened? and did it ever help push things along?

 

I’m not going to buy an Apple TV or a HomePod just for this.

 

Never again.

 

Just checking I’ve got them all?

 

I’ve not had a good day today. The kids have been shits, my wife has winged at me for not doing something I have already done, I’m hot, tired and stressed from work and fed up of not having a good nights sleep due to my 3 year old waking us up in the middle of the night constantly.

I want to rage at something but I can’t leave the house. I have access to a gaming PC, PS5 and all the movies the streaming services have to offer, my wife isn’t home so it’s just me and a couple of kids who should be asleep in the next hour or two.

I need some catharsis, what would you do?

 

I’m enjoying Yuzu with my PC hooked up to my TV via HDMI, however there are times I want to back out and get back into Steam Big Picture.

Is there a way to quit yuzu with just some esoteric button combination?

At the moment I’m having to Remote Desktop in to hit the Esc button and going from there, which isn’t really ideal.

 

I just checked IMDB and it has Cricket as the last episode of the season. Does anyone know if there are more episodes on the horizon or are we all done for now?

 

I’m in the very fortunate position of being made a senior at my new job and have the task of helping recruit a new Django dev to help us out.

I have never had to do this before so I was wondering:

  1. Does anyone have any tips for making a candidate feel comfortable?
  2. What sort of questions you feel would be appropriate for a junior django dev to be able to answer?
