@prologic What I “love” about this is that the popup randomly disappears after just 1 or 2 seconds – and then reappears a litle while later. 🫤

Crap! I just realized I never made a backup of my Windows 95 CD. And now I can’t find that CD anymore. My collection is incomplete! 😱

@lyse @johanbove Speaking of “ss” and “ß”: I regret that we don’t use the “ſ” anymore. 😅 It’s nice if you can tell “Wachstube” and “Wachſtube” apart! 😅

@johanbove Yeah, I think that’s the case with my Epson as well. 🫤 (But mine is about 18 years old, so I’m happy that it still works at all.)

@johanbove I had no idea where it came from. 😅 There are so many “black $something” throughout the year and similar sales events … It was news to me that it’s related to Thanksgiving.

@shreyan Well, I think it’s more of a workaround than a solution. And there’s a lot of guesswork needed from Firefox – that’s why I probably won’t enable this option. It needs to guess which elements to hide and, if set to the more aggressive option, which elements to *click* (to discard the dialog). That sounds very wonky. 🫤

Firefox’s new option to automatically block/accept cookie banners feels super useful. 😍 At _very, *very*_ wrong. We shouldn’t need this. Oh dear.

(I think I first saw for i; do in Shell-Skript Programmierung by Patrick Ditchen from 2008: German excerpt. They didn’t mention any restrictions on shell versions and I’ve been using it for ages. 😅 (I’m not too happy that the book uses for i in $* as the default template instead of for i in "$@". The book doesn’t care too much about file names with spaces in them.))

I wonder what Google would even bother to care about Firefox. According to https://netmarketshare.com, Firefox’s market share is around 5% on desktops. That’s still too much for Google, huh?

@lyse Oops, I must confess that I didn’t check whether that’s POSIX or not. 😬 So, thanks for the link. 👍

It really is a shame that there’s no guarantee that a shebang of #!/bin/sh enforces true and strict POSIX-conformity. This is all so fragile. 😞

@eapl.me Which problems are those? 🤔

The only “advanced” Tetris I played back then was “Block Out”:

Except it didn’t run nearly as smooth as in this video. 😅

@lyse Yeah, I actually wanted to buy one of those. The shop where I was didn’t have them, though, only digital ones. I didn’t think much about it and never expected it to need batteries. 🫤

@lyse I suspect that they put a battery in this time switch (is that the correct word for “Zeitschaltuhr”? 🤔), so the thing doesn’t lose its settings in cases of power outages. I would have thought there are better ways to do that, though … (Honestly, I wouldn’t care if it lost the settings. It’s irrelevant for my use case. But it was the only model available, so I had no choice anyway.)

The movie “UFO” popped up on Netflix. Here’s a screenshot:



Are you kidding me? Gillian Anderson and some dude who’s trying to prove that aliens exist? 🤣 Déjà-vu …

@stigatle That’s a really lovely country you’re living in. 😍 I envy you. 😅

Btw, I saw your video on Mastodon and only then did I realize how big Nanook is. Your photos almost have some kind fisheye effect, which makes him appear much smaller. 😂

I’m currently preparing for this a bit with some skeleton code and a few libraries. I can’t get over the fact that most of the code I’m writing on Linux *just works* on DOS. 😳 The C compiler I’m using on DOS is from 1992. 🤯 Some modern stuff and some POSIX functions are not available, yes, but I can work around that.

@mckinley Hmm, I have not perceived this to be much of a problem in the past … but I admit I’m getting quite careless in this regard.

@lyse Asking DuckDuckGo real quick turns up this:

https://docs.libreoffice.org/slideshow.html

So, I guess you don’t get to enjoy nice fancy physics animation effects in Impress. 🤪

Long story short, I just uninstalled LibreOffice. I hardly need it anymore these days.
