This creates a perspective effect where objects farther away (larger z) appear smaller:

Oh, that’s on purpose! Strange choice, I guess it’s just to show you can…

I’m definitely bookmarking this one.

That’s how I understood it, but you could read it as saying the author’s experience with Win11 revealed problems with his previous setup (i.e. Linux).

On first glance, I understood the title as saying there were nine problems in Win11; it might be ambiguous but I don’t think it’s fair to label it as very deceptive.

Hmm, I do remember installing that at one point - it might be that I needed to extract a key from it to configure the plugin. I was on Windows then so it wouldn’t have been too hard.

The fact that they fixed the jailbreak just as I was about to do it was part of the reason I moved to Kobo (went with the Clara BW and am very happy with the upgrade).

I have the DeDRM plugin set up on Calibre and it’s either it’s working perfectly or everything I’ve bought from Kobo didn’t come with DRM (I think it’s the first one).

I can’t decide if this is a joke or a Freudian slip.

Nothing that useful, apart from learning again that reading error messages properly can save you much pain.

overnight

Ah, you mean just now. It’s not night everywhere!

I used to listen to the soundtrack (since it used to be on the CD as standard audio tracks) and never realised in my foolish youth that it was from actual musicians with whole albums I could check out.

No robots.txt or headers to stop the resultant slop from ending up in search engines :(

Might also have helped prevent the bill that caused him to disable generation.

That must have taken some practice!

People sometimes introduce a quote by doing that air quote gesture - I suppose with this logic they should only do it on one hand at the quote start and use the other hand to end the quote.

I saw one comment and was sure it’d be the Arthur C. Clarke quote. I like your one, I hadn’t seen it before.

Sometimes both in the same article!

They’ll start by explaining what the internet is before descending into a dense conversation about how to use eBPF to do packet filtering and observability - just who is the audience that needs both halves of this?

I’ve been using nushell for a year and while it is great mostly, and means you don’t need to use external tools like jq, the verbosity is tedious at times. I have a lot of aliases set, and I often use the caret escape hatch to run the traditional command if I just want a quick answer.

Niri does have named workspaces so you can absolutely switch to fixed workspaces like you describe.

I have fixed workspaces but then temporarily add extra workspaces for side tasks - these are relative to the named ones but don’t stop you jumping to your named workspaces (assuming you’ve got your shortcut keys set up to match).

the Gulf Coast is strange, has diurnal tides (twice a day)

Diurnal tides are once a day (semidiurnal is twice a day). By the Gulf Coast, I guess you must mean the Gulf of Mexico. I’m living on the other side of the world in the other diurnal region, so I assume our tides are synchronised!

I think that the little extra work to have separate services is a small price to pay to have the kind of top notch user experience that you can only get with a dedicated tool.

Besides, it’s cool to have a load of different services. Most self-hosters seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next thing to install.
