I watched the first episode of this and didn't really laugh once, does it get better?
Do you use that old laptop for anything else? That is probably drawing a huge amount of power just to reverse tether the phone, could definitely be accomplished with a extremely low power SBC nowadays
You can stream it wherever you are in the world without having to keep it on your phone
I think we are still in an age where few women were encouraged to do technical things growing up, and found those subjects later in school, university or work. I suspect that will change over the next ten years.
Soo… barely any change? Very misleading charts
Why on earth is it segregated by gender…
My phone just died irreparably and sync thing saved so much of my data. Really hope it continues in some form
Not sure why you were down voted, thanks for the recommendations!
I need an android rss reader that ACTUALLY caches the articles. I use feeder and most of the time it just fetches the titles, I've been through every setting. "fetch full articles by default" is on for all of my feeds.
The chicken egg came before the chicken, as the thing that laid the chicken egg was not quite a chicken
There may be a way to organise a library in place but I'm not home until tomorrow so can't check at the moment
Ah interesting point, I've only done this when importing new songs, not to an entire library. Usually drag my new files from a file browser into a new playlist then I select then all and right click, then hit "move to library" which brings up a dialog that allows you to define your folder structure and naming conventions
This is on my list to read but if anyone wants another recommendation I am currently reading Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things by Pierre Novellie which is about his diagnosis, it is thoroughly researched and Fern Brady's quote is on the front saying how good she thinks it is.
Best way to embed face tags in photos
This may be deemed slightly off topic but I felt like this community might know the answer to this. I'm looking for a way to permanently embed information about who is in a photo, but when I search Google I just get some forum posts from 10 years ago. Surely there is something more recent? How would you go about doing this? Let's assume they are JPG.
I thought about this when looking through photos from my grandparents, where the names are written on the back of the photo. I have many digital photos from ten years ago and I've already forgotten the names of some of the people so imagine what it will be like in another 30 years.
Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore?
When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn't in the distro's repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it.
Seems that nowadays this is basically dead. Some people provide appimage, snap or flatpak but these don't integrate well into the system at all and don't integrate with the system updater.
I use Spek for audio analysis and yesterday it told me I didn't have permission to read a file, I a directory that I owned, that I definitely have permission to read. Took me ages to realise it was because Spek was a snap.
I get that these new package formats provide all the dependencies an app needs, but PPAs felt more centralised and integrated in terms of system updates and the system itself. Have they just fallen out of favour?
Radical New Discovery Could Double The Speed of Existing Computers - simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading
Does anyone know more about this? Sounds like distributing tasks to other processors that are not really designed for the job? Articles are making it out to be a miracle and not sure whether to believe it
University of Otago physicists have used a small glass bulb containing an atomic vapor to demonstrate a new form of antenna for radio waves. The bulb was "wired up" with laser beams and could therefore be placed far from any receiver electronics.

Alicia Myers - I Want To Thank You (1981)
Not sure what it is about this song but it really gets me. A sort of slightly melancholic ecstasy.
What was your favourite mod?
I was very into the nodding scene back in mid 2000s - what was your favourite mod?
I remember AR2 being great and NCM Revolution, both had great original graphics.
Nextcloud alternatives
So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it's installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn't run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it's still not great. Have caching set up.
I have the notes app installed on my android phone and I can never used rich text editing because it gives timeout error.
This shouldn't be this complicated. All I want is to de-Google my documents and notes, and self-host my kanban. I don't really need the rest though it's nice to have the options.
Do people use alternatives? Am I doing something completely wrong? I set it up using nginx which I know is not supported, but the alternative using Docker AIO didn't allow me to use custom port easily.

Sharks are older than trees
Don't let Jaws ruin your perception of sharks! Through their evolution, sharks have shaped our oceans into the rich habitats we know today. As apex predators (animals that are at the top of the food chain), sharks play an important role in the ecosystem and help keep the ocean and fish populations h...
