All I got was a bigger plot that needed to be turned into a hole yesterday. Same shovel, just all dinged up and worn out now.

Yep good call. I’m usually on my phone where tapping the link and swiping to go back is the natural behavior. I can scroll up and close the browser instead but habits are hard to break.

When did PC Gamer start hijacking the back button to show more ads? Infuriating.

We are all Estebiu alts.

You’re probably thinking of Simone Giertz and her “shitty robots”

Thank you for detailing this. I’m no fan of OSX or Apple the company but the quality of their laptop hardware is undeniable. They’re really good at it.

What a weird thing to do! They can sue each other until the cows come home for all I care but dragging the community into it like this comes off as petty imo. Musky even.

Is there any time of day it’s not atrocious? Seems like any time would have basically equal risk for collateral casualties.

Then maybe it shouldn’t be done at all.

Rules are rules!

It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.

Also my collection of hobbies seems to match up well with the people who nuked their post history after the API-ocalypse. Even when I get good search results I click through and… so many deleted comments…

The inhouse tooling from the massive tech companies is very cool but I always wonder how that impacts transferrable skills. I work in a much smaller shop but intentionally make tech decisions that will give our engineers a highly transferrable skill set. If someone wants to leave it should be easy to bring their knowledge to bear elsewhere.

Can you expand on this? I’m curious what you find ableist about it.

Sure they can but I always appreciate when someone owns up to their mistakes and leaves them. Pobody’s nerfect and it’s nice to see I’m not alone in making mistakes.

Just until America ceases existing. Could be 1000 more years, could be next January. The future is full of possibilities!

You could have just admitted that you have no alternative. It’s okay to do that.

“Strikes” made me think they were cancelling the deal. Like strike-through, crossed it out, etc. Too bad.

This is just one search result but it’s showing 326 million phones shipped in just Q4 of last year. How many of those new phones do you think shipped with headphone jacks?

There’s plenty of industry analysis out there that, while not perfect, is data showing that new phone sales have not been hampered by the removal of the headphone jack.

I’m rocking a Pixel 5a which does still have it and I do get a warm and fuzzy in my nerd brain by having it there. If I’m honest though, I used it maybe twice in the last year.

This looks like grub2-mkconfig was run with the output mistakenly set to /etc/default/grub. Someone ran

grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub

Instead of

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
