Linus Torvalds and friends tell The Reg how Linux solo act became a global jam session

I was born in 1992 so this all happened before I was able to pay attention to any of it; I love hearing about these days though. In like 2007 or so I had to read and write a book report and I picked the Swedish translation of "Just For Fun".

Firefox makes AI optional, like it probably should have been all along

Re: Not good enough

Indeed. It bothers me that time was spent putting the features in there regardless.

Apple has locked me in the same monopolistic cage Microsoft's built for Windows 10 users

I've been using a 2018 11 inch ipad pro as my personal "laptop" since around then and it is still going strong. The keyboard case when it was released in 2020 was pricy but works well.

As you mention in the article iSH, aShell, BlinkShell, SecureShellfish, and Pythonista might not be quite enough but it gets the job done for me. I just want an arm-based return of the 12 inch macbook to be honest. Small computers rule and the 13 inch air is too big.

Cigarette break burned out a huge chunk of Africa's internet

yeah I've forgot add when configuring vlans on important links before, always fun

The iPhone 15 has a Goldilocks issue: Too big or too small. Maybe a case will make it just right

They're all too big

I will hold on to my 13 mini until it can't be repaired anymore.

Re: I've already migrated

I moved away too but I'm not enough of a masochist to host my own email so I went with purelymail.com instead. Just email, unlimited users and domains, and more flexibility in creating aliases for only $10 per year.

From what I've heard Daim/Dime was the main reason Kraft/Mondelez wanted to buy Marabou.

What the @#$%&!? Microsoft bans nudity, swearing in Skype, emails, Office 365 docs

If I also had to actually use the office365 instance I manage for a customer we would be shutdown immediately.

My PC is broken, said user typing in white on a white background

Re: fibre or fiber

It depends on if you're talking about networking or storage.

Re: Don't give me no static ...

I tend to generate static electricity when I go to get coffee or go to the bathroom. When sitting down again and touching my laptop made out of metal with a grounded charger I usually feel a chock. If I go for my phone while it's connected to the laptop instead the chock is usually stronger for some reason.

Re: Translation

Not to mention the red square on the stop button.

I suppose these days with digital media that you don't need to rewind it's possible to forget the meaning of that one though...

I wonder if Linus has ever actually tried LSD...
