I guess some of those people you knew at school who just couldn’t help spouting any nonsense that would make them seem cool never grew out of it

We’ve been friends with horses for 3000-7000 years.

We’ve been friends with dogs for 20000-40000 years.

I actually love that design, it’s minimal without being corpo-slick. Is it just a mockup or is there some way to make all my computers look that way?

There was another one 9 months ago ;)

I think it actually came with cereal back in the 90s

Yeah but I bet the nose doesn’t change colour like the Gromit mug

I’m keen to put PostmarketOS on them all and build a Kubernetes cluster. Just don’t ask me what I’m going to run on it!

My thoughts exactly. The very first line of an article says that it’s produced by a company that wants to sell you a new logo, so they’re just implying that it could turn your whole business around. I very much doubt that any of these companies released a new logo and made no other changes to their products or marketing.

I think most of the uk banks still support them, though they don’t send you one by default anymore (you have to request one, which is fair enough as most people don’t need them). Also they all seem interchangeable, I used an old one from a different back to authorise a large payment recently.

We invite you to join us at Next ‘26 to talk about new capabilities

This post is just the announcement for a conference talk

How would that provide anything that they can’t already do with a normal barcode? (Just watch the video, it’s a classic Chris Spargo mildly interesting)

Check out linux-surface for details of what works on your specific model (and if you’ll need to install the custom kernel). I have a surface pro 3, it struggles but basically everything works which is cool.

I have RDX installed purely so that when I’m searching for something and the answer is in a Reddit thread I can view it on my phone

Lumping proton and signal in with brave seems a bit mad, brave was caught hijacking affiliate links and their ceo actively donates to right-wing causes, proton’s ceo just… made a couple of tweets that didn’t criticise trump enough? And what’s signal’s fault, just not being decentralised? It’s nice to be an idealist but the average person isn’t going to be compiling and self-hosting their own foss solutions. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good and all that!

Or Nigerian princes!

I’m only aware of GameNative because the post above this talks about it, but apparently yes

If they hadn’t built Rome yet they weren’t Romans, probably just mans.

If you’re putting CachyOS on it anyway, then why wait for the steam machine, can’t you just use any old desktop? Or is it just the call of the lovely shiny new hardware?

Shout out appreciated ☺️

I don’t think this is something new, there has always been “spear phishing”, i.e. targeted scams. The scattergun approach to spam still exists separately, it’s just that the targeted scams are now easier to set up.

I also remember agonising over paying a quid and feeling like a jammy bastard as the service continued after I didn’t cough up
