While I don’t disagree, this article is pretty bad and unconvincing. Is it a draft or something dashed out to collect referral fees?

I like that they used Microsoft Office WordArt for the image.

I think there’s a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.

Why are you quoting a US site for a case in China?

Conversely, if the pricing is due to an error, the company can petition the court to annul the purchase contract, allowing it to refund customers without the necessity of delivering the goods.

Surely, this will apply.

Bad wording on my part, I wasn’t disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

That’s an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I’m quite happy when programs have the “bug” that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they’d use gothic black for the Goth’s speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

There’s kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

Ukraine have destroyed three bridges in Kursk, which will affect Russia’s ability to get supplies to their invading forces, but they’re also over rivers where it’s fairly trivial to set up temporary bridges (unless they are destroyed by drones).

Patrick Delaney’s salute:

I know News Corp are evil, but this pic looks more mocking than heartfelt.

News was reporting yesterday that there was an arrest warrant out for Volodymyr Z in Poland but that he just popped over the border back to Ukraine.

[Truss complained that the British press wasn’t] “particularly deferential to politicians”

Why should they be? Their job should be to inform the public, not suck up to those in power.

Yup, I think a lot of people just use their web browser for everything, and they can definitely just switch. Outside of work, how many non-techies have set up their email to use a native program? Very few, in my experience.

I think documents are sometimes the exception, since there’s a sizable (perhaps older) group that like to use Word for everything.

Oh I see - yes, if the seats around the women are automatically reserved then that exploit doesn’t work.

I was thinking first would be the fake booking to find where the women were sitting, then switch browsers/clear cookies/whatever and book with the real details.

The airline’s booking process is fairly standard except for the seat map which highlights seats occupied by women with the color pink. This information is not visible to male passengers, according to the airline, CNBC reported.

What’s to stop a man from claiming to be female to see the map of where women are sitting, and then booking an adjacent seat themselves?

Oh, that’s LAN - I thought you’d put ian and I was trying to get the joke. Stupid sans-serif fonts.

I know of it because Helix uses it, and it works really well.
