For me, to ‘get shit done’ means to enter a state of flow and focus. For that I put on noise cancelling headphones and put this Chillhopmusic playlist on shuffle.

(It’s not my playlist, just a public one that someone has created and shared.)

What does a British person’s home made curry taste like? I’m curious.

Ditto for London. I assume most local council recycling facilities accept small electrical waste.

Exactly. The fact that “disposable” vapes even exist is mind-boggling. And now they account for more than half of the electrical waste going to landfill. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why do they even exist? Can’t they be banned?

It’s like buying a USB battery pack to recharge your phone - and then chucking it out after it’s run out.

I was envisioning something more like this.

Instructions unclear

For the same reason big hair can make someone look crazy. They make you look unkempt.

There’s more than one Musk!? 😱

What better way to create the image of a thriving userbase, than for your userbase to literally create the image.

Who are these people that will fund a social network, with no expectations of a return on that investment, so that people can fill it up with memes and porn for free?

I do think Firefox gets a degraded experience on some websites.

For example, Google Meet supports virtual video backgrounds and 3D face filters for Chromium based browsers.

And Google Search serves up an older results page design with fewer features to Firefox users. Someone has literally had to create a Firefox addon to make it pretend to be Chrome so it gets the modern results page.

I realise these are both Google-owned websites - but I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the average user isn’t going to come up across these differences.

I’m pretty sure Virgin Media used to do this until recently

Exactly this. In the same way I expect to be able to email the government, but I wouldn’t expect to send them a message on Facebook Messenger.

Open platforms over walled gardens.

Out of interest, what’s your preferred choice nowadays? I’ve always preferred to stick with Debian-derived distros so I don’t need to learn a different package manager (silly, I know).

I guess I like the comfort/predictably of Ubuntu - I know what to expect, and how to fix it if things go wrong. But maybe I shouldn’t be limiting myself.

What are you running your VM in, out of interest? I’ve only ever used VirtualBox, but it’s not always that performant.

Screen and tmux are your friends in this situation. They can keep your vim session alive when your SSH connection drops, so you can reconnect and continue where you left off.

Do you have a sauce for that Google announcement about Reddit? I’m interested!

It really does, doesn’t it!?

Do people even use Pinterest nowadays?

I’m always staggered by how regularly it appears at the top of search results.

Yeah. Honestly, I’m still not sure I understand it. ELI5?
