I'm Hiding 🇦🇺

That’s half the reason I like Thunderbird. Email hasn’t changed for 20 years, and neither has Thunderbird’s interface. I don’t need shadows and 3D effects and stylised colours and buttons, I just want a white page with black text displaying the content of my incoming messages.

The rooster came before the egg?

Oh won’t you please take me localhost??

The good thing about ChatGPT is that it gives you a starting point for languages you’re not familiar / rusty with.

Yet the most popular new cars sold are V8s that weigh 2.5 tonnes and are the size and shape of a brick shithouse. In this country, you can’t even buy a small, economical hatchback new anymore, even if you had the money.

Fuel costs in the 1970s were never anymore than 40¢/Litre, yet that was the “fuel crisis” and the driving force behind econo-boxes. Now at $2.20/Litre, Ford of Australia only sell two whopping big utes, a van, and three ugly SUVs.

My car is old enough to have kids my age, but at least I’ll never have to take it to a mechanic. No computers means I can do everything from valve timing to gearbox rebuilds myself, and parts are dirt cheap because they’re being thrown out all the time.

AI can literally read minds. I don’t think it’s that great of a step to say it should be able to decompile a few games.

I’d still run the command anyway if I were you. Clearly you speak English, so you can afford to remove some bloat /s

But there’s nothing else out there! It’s a complete void!

We have the middle-mouse-button clipboard for this.

This is completely untrue in my experience. My X230T has two battlestations: One with an old, square Samsung VGA monitor, and another two hours away with a modern, DisplayPort, high resolution Dell. I regularly hot-swap monitors by unceremoniously pulling it off or slamming it on to either docking station while it’s running, and even transform it into tablet mode and flip the internal display output 180° without upsetting the external display.

All of this on Fedora 38 Cinnamon, firmly running X11. No “jank” in sight.

I use Consent-O-Matic. It’s not perfect, but I’d say it works on 50% of websites.
