NB: I’m no guru - I just googled “remove file extension in bash”.

I understand the downvotes you’re getting, but this take isn’t far off the level of cynicism I’m feeling now.

Exactly - I’m still very happy with my 4a. A used 5, 6 or 7a would be very cheap and very usable.

I’d be curious to know what the people downvoting this don’t agree with?

It might be expensive, but still worth a short visit. I’ve got a shockingly bad memory, but I’ll never forget the awe I felt waking up to a view of the Alps.

I can’t understand how someone hasn’t explained to them that it’s impossible to enforce. I can only see two possible ways:

1. Require every social media platform operating in Australia to do rigorous ID checks on all users to ensure no-one is under the legal age, or

2. Somehow lock down the whole Australian internet so that users must login and then validate the identity, and therefore age, of all users. Then maintain a huge filter table to restrict under age users from social media.

Both of these are clearly never going to happen. Have I missed a simpler way to do it?

Fuck!

Almost a chuckle

I recently had a bereavement flight with Air Canada. There was no discount, but I was upgraded from my most basic ticket to one that could be rescheduled at no cost.

The author of the article has no theory why they might have done this. I’ll suggest that maybe screenshots are used as a way to document obnoxious advertising, and Google would like to make that as difficult as possible.

I’m still on google for email and a bit of drive, calendar etc. I’ve been reading stuff about Proton with some interest as I’d like to ditch google. This doesn’t encourage me - what’s the point of a mobile only plan? Isn’t half the point of a cloud drive to allow sharing with other platforms? I’m just thinking aloud here - I could go read their offerings where I’d probably find that it’s their lowest entry level tier and they have less restrictive plans with clients for various platforms?

I must be old - it’s WordPerfect to me.

I’m fairly certain it is only anonymous “on paper”. Behind closed doors, they know where it came from and what is expected in return.

It seems most movies these days are just rehashing old content anyway - why not automate it?

I get what you’re saying, and agree, but “cashier” is perhaps not the best example? Self check outs have been around for ages and Amazon (I think?) has those “just walk out” stores that are supposed to be AI powered. I seem to recall reading that the just walk out stores were actually powered by cheaper “cashiers”, in another country, but - it shows they’re working on it.

So, it sounds like this isn’t expected behaviour? Now that I’ve gone looking for examples, I can’t find any. Maybe there was some temporary problems yesterday…

Where do you live that Antarctica is “up”?

It’s only an interruption if you’re already busy and productive. This method helped me when I was going through a particularly bad period and couldn’t get anything done. The end of the Pomodoro wasn’t and interruption, but a goal that I was relieved to reach.

I opened this and quickly closed it again as the mindless scrolling encourages us to do. But, I knew I saw something and reopened it.

This is beautiful

Once an end-to-end, encrypted, connection is established between a pair of peers then anything can be sent through it. The establishment proces is generally facilitated by a server of some description so neither peer needs to allow inbound connections. (I’m a long, long way from being an expert on this and happy to be corrected - but this seems like network fundamentals?)
