The irony of the chancellor announcing today that they are promoting innovation in the UK tech industry while simultaneously implementing the innovation-crushing OSA is fucking baffling.

Hey small group of people who want to communicate online to organise things, you'd better be monitoring everything that's been said on your forum or face a crippling fine that you cannot survive. Oh cool you've moved to Facebook and now everyone needs a Facebook account to interact with you in any meaningful way because god forbid you read emails.

I'm only really aware of him as former (?) leader of private discords who have to pay to talk to him so this article made that idea even more ridiculous and funny than it already was!

It's an Android client for syncthing. It is only one of the available android clients, not syncthing itself.

I have to wonder how many windows devs are aware they're just making windows worse.

Mint is honestly your best bet. I installed it for my parents on their aging laptop and they're allergic to the terminal and they're getting on great with it. Requiring a password for administrative actions is generally a good thing for security but you could disable it (unfortunately the only way I know how is via the terminal!). I'm biased here because I'm a techy person but I've used Windows, macOS and Linux professionally for years and I always have to troubleshoot things. Windows, in my experience, has always been worse than the others because while Linux has very technical or terminal-based solutions a lot of the time, Windows official support generally tells you to "just reinstall or restore from a system restore point" which is such overkill for most problems. That or registry edits.

Titanfall 2 absolutely had multiplayer and it was great.

Should have been the case from the start. Good resolution.

When I looked into nix a year or two ago I was directed to use flakes by half of the documentation while the other half told me to not to use them since they were experimental. Ended up going back to what I knew, since, you know, installing things was a pretty solved problem.

Glad it's there for people who need it. I've been fine with branching and stashing for 10+ years and my working directories have never been so dirty that I needed an entirely new copy of the project to do a hotfix.

Tried it on PopOS and wondered how anyone could use it at all. Installed fedora on a different machine and it's flawless. Probably just the age of PopOS at this point.

One of my primary use cases isn't covered by this article and that's a consistent user experience from one terminal emulator to another. I have personal and work devices, and I don't have control of what terminal emulators I can use on the work device, so tmux is the only way I can work with consistent keybinds and a consistent experience across all terminal emulators with nothing but a single git clone of my dotfiles. Yes I get stuck behind in features but I kind of couldn't care less about terminal notifications or title renaming (the examples used in the post). I'm always in the terminal, I don't need notified to come back to a terminal I'm already using.

If I'm wrong please tell me but it's worked for me for years without too many issues across tons of terminal emulators from iTerm to gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal to windows terminal.

No impact yet. Tried to use it as an excuse to move my friends away from discord but no such luck!
