You can block *.google.com as easily as *.google, so I don't think that makes much sense.

It reminds me of the Wipeout aesthetic:

Looking great so far, good luck with the difficult actually finishing it phase.

We’re still preparing the notes for this release, and will post them here when they are ready. Please check back later.

Oh come on guys

edit: they're up now

metux is Enrico Weigelt, the dev behind Xlibre, the new fork of X11. He's quite controversial, partly due to claiming to want to keep politics out of development by filling his posts with alt-right dog whistles, as well as being an antivaxer and having some... er... revisionist views of history.

This is brilliant, I hope we see loads more of these edits.

Also, is this starting from refrigerated eggs (USA-style) or room temperature (everyone's else)? I assume this makes less of a difference with your second method.

Uri Geller is a name I haven't thought about in a long time... A perfect end to a weird news story.

How can I test if my phone uses hardware decoding for AV1?

I'd say it's more like it demonstrates how quirky the requirements are that Haskell also failed to get it right. The error and the fix are both in Rust code.

Afraid I don't know, but please post the answer here if you do (particularly if you get the answer from somewhere un-indexable like Matrix).

Morocco being “al-Maghrib” is suprising to me, since I know al-Maghrib as the Maghreb region, aka the part of north Africa that speaks Maghreb Arabic (al-Maġrib al-ʿArabī).

Wikipedia says it's المملكة المغربية which is “al-Mamlakah al-Maghribiyah” but I don't know if the map's version is an acceptable shorthand.

That would be good - I often want to see what an unfamiliar instance is about by checking out their homepage sidebar and local communities and currently it's several clicks and involves going directly to the site, effectively logging me out. At least the new versions have the new feature that sends you back to your home instance to subscribe.

The only plus is that sometimes the remote instance has interesting styles or other customisations that I wouldn't see unless i visited properly.
