And the parents that are worried about their children getting fucked up by hardcore porn and social media.

Rarely brought up during the OSA debate, but I think we all know every UK ISP has "Safety Shield" on to block access to adult entertainment - by default. When purchasing the service you're asked if you want it disabled.

If parents are disabling it, they can't be that worried.

One must imagine the washing machine user happy.

I got it installed last weekend, really powerful mobile OS.

I did do about three weeks of research, as I worried that maybe a number of apps wouldn't run on it or needed some form of deep attestation. Didn't find much, OpsGenie and other work apps are happy with the GOS level of attestation provided.

Great to have Google kicked off the phone. So nice to shut off the network permission for any apps that only require an internet connection to serve ads.

One tip from me, if you came from stock Pixel: You can download the default Pixel sounds and set them up like it was. Have a look for "Your New Adventure" online, the message sound is "Eureka".

Chance'd be a fine thing, a fine thing indeed!

Got DDG set as the default search engine in Firefox.

Saw the error, immediately typed "duckduckgo status" into the address bar and searched - in DDG.

Not my smartest moment.

I use fish with the sponge plugin that omits any command that doesn't return an error code 0. Combined with ones like `z` to jump around directories, I reckon my history is pretty tidy.

Anything important and convoluted, I'll shove it in the fish config for quick access.

I got to "Mary Little" before I realised my virtual leg was being pulled.

Deary me. Hope Mary Little's lamb is doing well.

Ok, that was fun. Pipped Ginko to the win by one point, they should've calculated the last square was a flag faster than I did.

It'd be cool to be able to put your own name in though, without signing in. Just a suggestion.

Ahh, I used to have that opinion, but I've encountered too many "It's fine if they want it, I've got nothing to hide" people. (They never give you their Facebook password if you ask, though. Funny, that.)

Change what you can, I say, VPN on the network device.

I thought we were making progress in the anti-surveillance privacy na[rra]tive

What lead to to believe that? The Conservatives and Conservative-Continuity governments both agree that our data simply must be in the hands of the police, DEFRA, and your local council.

RIPA will never be repealed and only strengthened.

crisis response protocols for emergency events (such as last summer’s riots).

Or maybe the proles organising mass protests at the government. No, surely not.

Ah yes. That's what I get for touch-typing... Thanks.

Aye must be. Alt+Caps is just toggling Caps Lock here.

Shouldn't haven't modified anything for it, do my utmost best to just use WSL for work.

Alt+Space is currently used in Windows for the keyboard layout switcher if you've got 2+ configured, at least on my setup.

I use it to switch from UK layout to US (long story).

I'm teaching the chapter, "Why is everyone signing off with J? A crash course in email from Windows users"

Yeah, that's a known training method, "High-Intensity Interval Training", HIIT.

I mean, you can just go and plug in the same prompt into ChatGPT and cut out the middleman, really.

Just did it for a laugh, and for "High Rise" it recommended "The Road" and "The Dispossessed". Sounds about right.

McCarthyism for the blogging generation.

They just post inane one line comments in response to the article headline. They often have some corny joke or something like that, but it's never anything more than two sentences, and those sentences never, ever say anything insightful or even controversial - it's just an incredibly surface level and uncontroversial reaction to the headline.

I haven't used Reddit in years, but this was Reddit pre-LLMs.

There's also the case in the video (0:59) where the player jumps into the poison but doesn't take damage for a few seconds then takes two doses back-to-back - they should've taken a hit of damage every ~500-1000ms(?)

Guessing the model hasn't been taught enough about that, because most people don't jump into hazards.

are you implicitly speaking to the subset of HN with experience broad and deep enough to already have the skillset represented by this stack?

That's the one. To follow the above, knowledge of a public cloud (take your pick) and installing software are going to be needed.

Not enough people realise you can spin up a cheap Hetzner instance, install Navidrome and use that as very functional Spotify-like experience. Bring in your music you've got on a USB, Bandcamp and others in one place.

Then you get to pick a player that works best for you, I use Feishin which you'll find familiar if you're a Spotify user.

I know I'm pulling a Dropbox with "just spin up Navidrome" but if you've got an afternoon to get it going, you can save yourself a lot of cash with price hikes to pay for AI DJs.

"These changes mean that not only will our citizens be better protected from serious dangers such as terrorism and child sexual abuse online [...]"

Sometimes you just love it when the band knock out one of their classics.

This was my last job, anyone in this position for any longer than necessary should be looking for another role. You're on a path to burnout or apathy, either way.

I called it "Monster of the Week", as I was watching a lot of X-Files at the time. Still like that term for it.

Do you think Navidrome works good?

Yeah, for the most part, few things I wouldn't have done but you're getting Navidrome as a Subsonic-compatible server.

That lets you play your stuff from very good clients like Feishin, rather than the web client.

Are there any Android app for offline plays, for the car?

Don't know about Android, have a search for "subsonic" on the Play Store / F-Droid, and you'll definitely find something.

I have "AV Sub" on iOS, and that integrates with CarPlay.

I moved to Navidrome a few months ago, I only listen to the same few albums. Didn't make much sense to cough up the 11 quid to stick with it.

A testament to how few of us used Microsoft's CodePlex that nobody really remembers it, and wasn't mentioned in the article.

It had docs, issues and source code sections back then, but I can't remember if some of those features were spurred on by GitHub adding them first.

I used to be a user of Wayland but since Firefox defaulted to it and I found that Picture-in-Picture doesn't work, I've since dropped back to X.

DuckDucking it, I couldn't find a solution, but I hope someone can tell me there is.

Outside of things like this (and finding the right screen recording program) I didn't really notice a difference.

Reality: It’s fine, I’ll finish the work on Saturday.

At no point have I ever worked outside of contracted hours, and at no point will I ever do so. Sorry, no, once I did and it lead to me leaving the job..!

And it's harmfully perpetuating the idea that you're expected to do so when you're not paid for the labour.

It's incredibly convenient for us who commute home from Oracle's office in the area.
