The two most populous countries are moving in the right direction, which is good news. I really wish you guys wouldn't insist on bringing your country into every single conversation - we know what's happening, you don't need to constantly remind us.

Oof, that's embarrassing for a "hacker" distro. I guess they have too many red teamers and no blue.

Turbo Pascal was my first real programming language, and Delphi was pretty pleasant to use for GUI programs as I recall.

I'd never even heard of Lazarus, I might have to try it for a nostalgia trip.

I just had mine arrive yesterday!

I have one of these
macro keyboard with 12 keys and three knobs

I'm using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it, because I don't fancy running some random closed-source Chinese code (the manual links to a file on Google Drive). It also means I can move over my config when I switch to Linux.

I have two keys for switching between headphones and speakers, and some set up for shortcuts I forget (like ctrl-shift-e for the network monitor in Firefox). One key types "hello" just because I can.

I've got the large knob controlling volume, and I can click it to toggle mute. The other two are currently set to scroll, but I don't need that as my mouse has better ergonomics for scrolling.

I still have plenty of unused keys and it's got three layers so I won't be running out in the foreseeable future.

I disagree, they have it working on the nRF52840 (which is new and supports new things like NFC and Thread/Zigbee). This means people can start developing features against that chipset.

Hardware doesn't mean "production-ready model".

The uncropped version makes it a bit clearer:

It's also clearer that it's from an AI.

I like that idea of using the different fonts for e.g. Copilot suggestions - reminds me of reading Asterix comics as a kid when they'd use gothic black for the Goth's speech, etc.

edit: e.g.

I don't think it's even enshittification (probably costs more to run than Assistant), it's just Google desperate to find a use for its new AI.

The original is in Chinese, and the translation's worse than Google Translate managed when I just my point my phone at the screen.

I was referring to this trivia:

Picard's scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a "Ten-Forward" scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.

I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank
