TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

First time hearing about Briar. So it's like Signal but can also be used via Bluetooth if close enough?

Two things pop up

• I once left an alert() asking "what the fuck?". That was mostly laughed upon, so no worry.
• I accidentally dropped the production database and replaced it by the staging one. That was not laughed upon.

This is me, right this moment. About to put the phone away. Any moment now. I promise.

"flatsnap". This made my day

Been using Qwant for maybe a year or so. Recently found Swisscows too. I am not sure if Qwant uses their own index. I remember that they said that they were to create their own index, but the results looks suspiciously similar to Bing. Swisscows for sure runs their own index, and I find the results to be rather good

Tumbleweed user here. I have no idea how to compile additional kernel modules. I do keep track of what's changed on every update, though, but that's because I find it exciting. Seeing that update icon in the morning makes me happy. I am sure you don't need to care as much about it as I do. You can upgrade every now and then without looking too close, and be very happy

As a side note, DBeaver actually asks for confirmation if it thinks you are about to do something wonky. I think it's quite telling just how common this mistake is. We've all been there

I think this happens when there's notifications from Slack in the notification center. For some reason it does not seem to sync. Clearing in the notification center is probably going to "fix" the badge counter

My mind was just blown. Turning off Javascript works, doesn't it?

I really enjoy Mojeek. It gives you results you would not get anywhere else. I see high value in that

The Brother printer I bought recently was easier to install on Linux than on Mac. I think that says something. Always works too

I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

Ctrl + Y shall paste, and nothing else!

I realize that it was dumb of me not giving more context. Sorry about that.

They talk about one of his posts on X, where he shares his appreciation for an interview between Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper.

Cooper claimed in the interview that the Nazis did not mean to murder so many people when they carried out the Holocaust and killed 6 million Jews during the second world war. Instead, Cooper remarked, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime simply was not equipped to care for them – and the podcaster blamed the British prime minister Winston Churchill for “that war becoming what it did”.

And then:

The billionaire announced in August that he was supporting Donald Trump as the Republican nominee seeks a second presidency in November’s election. Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice-president, is also running in the election.

I use this one for all my work related notes. It's simply great. Unlike many other note taking apps CherryTree is not made with Electron. So it's both powerful and very light

I really like Taskito, and have been using it for quite a while. I think the widget looks very nice too, though I relied more on the notifications.

Recently switched to Microsoft To Do, simply because I realized it works more in the way I think. I make a plan for the day, and tick off the tasks I finish. Some tasks might not be finished (happens a bit too often, I admit), and those tasks will be suggested when I make a plan on the following day. The widget looks OK, not too exciting, but clean enough.

There's also LiteIDE

Yes! I just could not stop reading this book. Stayed up way too late. Easily worth it
