I went for n-ginx too. I’ve known for a while that it’s actually n-gin-x but have to think carefully to not revert back.

Yes!

Weirdly I know people with birthdays on both those (actual) days, and I bought a flat off somebody with the one in the middle.

Older (and cheaper) ones have an analogue dial. More modern ones have a digital timer.

Lemmings. Always Lemmings. !lemmings@lemmings.world

Yes, and you definitely used to be able to change the behaviour to stop it highlighting everything, as at one point that was doing my head in so I changed it. I find it easier now just to click twice, rather than trying to find a setting which stops it highlighting everything.

Yes, I think that’s probably how it worked.

My memory of token ring is vague, but I think it was originally a ring in series as you said - however token ring switches (that isn’t what they were called) also existed, which was the “modern” way of writing up a token ring network.

Oh, fuck off.

“Oh, perhaps we could assign it to the actual Indian Ocean, as that’s quite a persuasive 💰 argument 💰.”

“… Or perhaps NASA would like to administer it on behalf of the aliens on Io until we make contact…”

Thanks, that should do the job!

Took me a little while to find it as the brushes needed swiping to get the block on screen - it didn’t look like there were any extras.

This is nice! I’ve replaced some little tools with this. What it can’t seem to do though is pixelate a specified area of an image, unless I’ve missed how to do that? It only seems to do the whole image.

Yep, it’s a PITA to parse and get the values you want. Much prefer JSON. Recently when I needed to parse XML I ran it through an XML to JSON library. Much easier!

If you need to parse XML just for RSS though, it isn’t so bad as there are RSS specific libraries which take most of the pain away.

I can only assume you’ve never tried to parse or read XML.

Very convoluted way of getting to that if you click through and follow the web instructions. Here’s a direct link: https://myactivity.google.com/results-about-you?hl=en (obviously the actual dark web bit isn’t there yet)

Postmarks? https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/08/with-postmarks-social-bookmarking-is-back-but-this-time-its-built-on-the-fediverse/

I never stopped bookmarking. Type a word and usually the browser will find that long lost page from the bookmarks.

I don’t always, but when I do it’s mostly to do with character customisation. If I’m playing a game where my character is constantly visible I’d rather it was something I wanted to look at, and male clothing is boring. OK, some games don’t restrict clothes but many do. So I tend to create a character which is a female version of me, except in the cases where I prefer a male character (which isn’t often if I have the choice!)

I’ve been switching back to Firefox. The latest Raspberry Pi OS finally has Firefox as a supported browser, which was the kick I needed, as I tend to use the Pi as my main computer for general tasks. Yesterday I installed the Android Firefox too. I’m trying to reduce reliance on Google as I don’t like what they are trying to do with Chrome.

It was invite only, not open registration, so not surprising they didn’t have many users. Although Bluesky is the same and that seems to have loads. Hmm.

I had an account but literally used it for five seconds and then largely forgot about it.
