GitHub is often used as a code mirror, with the actual repo and builds being hosted elsewhere.
Shelter, as in the work profile app? It shows up on Droid-ify for me, and a check of the Links section confirms it’s hosted on a different repo (gitea.angry.im).
Oops. You’re quite right, of course.
Had a manager who used to send notes intended for himself to our team chat. Psychotic behaviour.
Every phone has a note app. No matter how stupid you are, it works. But if messages to yourself floats your boat: why not.
The two already mentioned, plus Obsidian and OrgMode. The latter is used via Emacs (though there are compatible/companion apps, like Journelly if you have iOS), and both work on all modern platforms
Those 4 cover most of the journalling tools I’ve seen in recent years.
Top-right is an ibis? The Australian nickname for them is “bin chicken” for obvious reasons…
Thanks for checking and the update.
Oh no… anyone know what this means for DuckDuckGo?
+1 for this. I’ve been using it for years. Handles downloads and uploads nicely.
Is this is legendary mothgirl prophecy?
Le petit mort , ahem, comes in many forms…
What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s
My take on ads is this: I’ve been using the internet since 1989 - before search engines, advertising, SLIP/PPP/ADSL, etc.
When ads began to appear on websites in the late 90s, I was OK with it. A banner ad here, etc. Then they started to move. And flash. And make noise. And then popups, and pop-unders.
At that point I started to BLOCK THEM ALL. If your business model is a game of distraction from the site I’m visiting, then fuck you, your family, and anyone you’ve ever met.
Moving on to UI web-based stuff, the demise of excellent sites like AltaVista (with its superior search syntax) and the growth of Goooooooogle (with its astonishingly and intentionally shit search syntax), the progress and intention was obvious.
There was a brief period where Google, etc, provided what people wanted. But that time has passed. Now it’s all in on GIGO: garbage in, garbage out.
tl;dr: Once advertisers started to behave like gambling sites, they were yeeted to the hell in which they belong.
Inevitable, really. And zero surprise it’s coming out of China.
Reads more like an advertorial. Low on detail, high on “passkeys are the future”, and plenty of typos.
Agreed.
I didn’t mention that I also spend time after every meeting I host putting together a summary of what was discussed along with a bullet point list of deliverables, who agreed to work on them, and due dates and then send it to all attendees, invitees, and stakeholders.
It deals with the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme problem and “magnanimous work dodgers” - those who promise the world in meetings but then seemingly disappear off the planet.
It probably should be noted that many of the meetings I host are recurring, often weekly or fortnightly, so it’s easy to find a rhythm (and identify the problem children).
When I started my career I quickly became convinced that meetings are the opposite of work. Now a large part of my career is hosting meetings. 😬
My biggest piece of advice to junior staff is: if you’re not provided an agenda prior to a meeting, your attendance is not required. RSVP with Yes if it sounds interesting/beneficial and you have the time, otherwise Nope (or Tentative) your way out of it.
The obvious caveat is if that meeting is called by someone with role power over you. In which case: as they clearly don’t respect your time, it’s on you to (politely) ask them to provide an agenda. It may also indirectly train them to be less shit.
Standard in Australia. And common in the UK (it’s traditionally a dot, but slash is more common now).
But I’m team ISO-8601 when there’s a chance of an international audience. At least where locale information can’t be used.
“Muh freedums profit” outweighs life. The silent bit spoken aloud. Cool cool.
As expected from this timeline and this garbage conglomerate.
It begins. More of this from media and other organisations, please!
If it eventually gets outed as being Ponzi scheme, I’ll not be remotely surprised.
