When this topic comes up I usually check https://layoffs.fyi/ which typically has roughly up to date data, but isn't 100% accurate of course, because it relies on submissions.

Heh, Rabbit (another one) was a location-specific mobile phone company in the UK back in the early 1990's. You had to be near an antenna to make or receive a call. It's the first thing that came to mind when this post came up.

A friend of mine does coding live streams on Twitch. It's pleasantly surprising how many randos (who become internet friends) will help out with your projects.

It may have evolved since I last used it. But when I tried, it was a bit of a "bag of spanners", thrown together shell scripts which made some incorrect assumptions. Back then it didn't even make a bootable device. Everyone seems to rave about it now though, so may be worth another look.

More likely they made some videos private or unlisted. Given that creator's recent clash with other creators, this is a likely outcome.

Wow, I don't remember this at all. It seems (according to WikiPedia) that the email password was revealed in the studio on a hot mic. Someone in the green room revealed this to an external party, "Oz and Yug".

Launchpad added Git support years ago. Also, bzr pre-dates git by a tiny bit, too. But sadly git won.

Looks like we killed it. I clicked apple and got "Application error: a server-side exception has occurred (see the server logs for more information). Digest: 2825624865"

I cloned the repo and tried building it, but it seems there's a bunch of devDependencies missing in the package.json? It doesn't appear to build or run to a usable state.

This is a four year old thread.

The advert at the start seemed more targetted to creatives, not 'average' consumers - whatever they are.

Also, are 'average' consumers watching this kind of marketing? I suspect not, only enthusiast nerds like us are?

Devian, shirley?

It was only my first experience of it, to be fair :D

I get near zero engagement on twitter these days. I can post the identical things on both places, and twitter is just tumbleweed. I have ~17K followers on twitter, and 3K on mastodon.

I used to get a fair amount of engagement on twitter, but I don't have a paid blue tick - but I do have one via my employer. That makes no difference.

Still not as pleasant has having a little icon for each webapp showing up my alt-tab list, and an icon in my launcher I can click on.

Interesting experience!

I mostly use the Z13 as a desktop replacement. It's on my desk always plugged into a USB C dock, with 2 or 3 displays attached. I use an external keyboard and mouse. So I haven't seen the problems you have with the keyboard.

Maybe I got lucky with my Z13, or I just have a different use pattern which doesn't trigger the same issues.

Good question. I have previously used Firefox, Chrome and Chromium. I make heavy use of multiple profiles in the browser. Firefox has never been very good at managing and profiles in the browser. With all the Chrom{e|ium} based browsers, it's a click away.

Firefox also doesn't do webapps (at all?). I like to have a bunch of web "Apps" which I put on my launcher for easy access. I like being able to alt-tab between websites, rather than switch to a browser than have to switch tabs.

I've had multiple occasions where Chrome and Chromium have completely eaten my profile losing all pinned tabs, cookies, extensions and any session information.

With Firefox it's broken in weird ways for me. Most recently it would just load white blank pages for every tab I had open.

I've also had poor performance from Firefox and Chrome, in terms of eating RAM and CPU inexplicably, constantly.

Having tried Firefox and Chrome extensively, and had bad experiences, I thought I'd give Edge a try.

Edge has the same easy profile management of Chrome. It has never died and eaten the session, nor decided to render all my tabs in white.

Edge also has vertical tabs built in, which I use. It also has an effective tab sleep tool which means idle tabs aren't eating resources.

Looks neat. Minor typo s/Pinoromi/Pimoroni/

“Decent” companies? By what measure?

That fails to load for me, but the internet archive has it. https://web.archive.org/web/20230815095019/https://linustech... - 6 comments down.

Surely "I googled you on Bing" is only ever said with lashings of irony? I've never heard anyone use that phrase in any serious way.

For a long while I was using one (a few in fact) HP MicroServers across the range N36, N40, N56 etc. I recently picked up an 8th Gen one which is a little more powerful, and have moved everything onto that. That includes Plex Media Server, backups, torrent server and ssh end point. It got noisy in my office, so I moved it out, and am much happier. I have four 3TB disks in Linux MD RAID 5, running on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. I do need to consider a disk upgrade at some point, as it's going to run out soon. That'll be a fun migration!

I think your sarcasm detector has developed a fault.

Ok, r/funny just went public, and one of my comments re-appeared in my profile. So I am confident that what's happening is the deletion of comments isn't happening on subreddits that are private (as r/funny was when I ran my delete script). As soon as the subreddit goes public, they "re-appear"

Discussed earlier here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36354850

I used Power Delete Suite to remove all comments from all public and private subs. They all came back today. So I re-deleted them again.

I suspect it's more likely the site didn't process the deletions properly, rather than maliciously bringing them back, or as you suggest, that they were private.

Edit: It's possible that the deletion only worked on public posts, after all, it seems?
