What part of the rest of the world are you in?

Wasn’t she in Total Recall?

[–] dave@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago

Quite right. XBumpick 2.3 was only ever released in the US, after ‘the incident’ back in 1996.

It probably had quite a lot to do with whether the unknown man in front could possibly be the senator. If he didn’t have white skin, it’s very unlikely to have been who she thought it was.

lol! There’s such a mix of people being genuinely helpful and people telling me the joke is past its sell-by date. But I hadn’t come across reflector before and will definitely give it a go—thanks :)

Thanks—will give this a try.

Thanks—I am running the zen kernel because I didn’t really understand the question during archinstall, and have added an AUR helper but still no lack of joy.

I’ll definitely give this a go—probably on Friday afternoon.

 

I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running sudo pacman -Syu but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah, backups are useless unless you restore and test regularly. But it’s one more step of admin that few people / organisations do sadly.

They are super cool and super territorial by all accounts. We were in a pop-up pub in a field and this guy kept coming to sit on our hands. I guess we were in his spot…Common Darter

Your request for a duel is held in a queue and will be answered as soon as I’ve dealt with my colleague who inconsiderately has the same initials as me.

I remember using Mosaic on Silicon Graohics machines back in the early ‘90s. It’s was fab for the time.

And yes, Mosaic became Netscape, became Firefox. From the wiki page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator

The business demise of Netscape was a central premise of Microsoft's antitrust trial, wherein the Court ruled that Microsoft's bundling of Internet Explorer with the Windows operating system was a monopolistic and illegal business practice. The decision came too late for Netscape, however, as Internet Explorer had by then become the dominant web browser in Windows. The Netscape Navigator web browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator suite in 1997. Netscape Communicator's 4.x source code was the base for the Netscape-developed Mozilla Application Suite, which was later renamed SeaMonkey.[4] Netscape's Mozilla Suite also served as the base for a browser-only spinoff called Mozilla Firefox.

 

Numbers go brrrrrrr

 
 

Also, how can you be aged 16 and below? I know, not technically the software's fault, but still...

 
 
 
 

I’m on .69 and still seeing very large margins around some images. And dismissing image modals with a swipe up or down often takes 3 or 4 goes, and mostly they just bounce back to centre. Finally, zoom seems to ping the middle of the image, which makes zooming near the corner of an image problematic. The zoom pin point should be directly between the two touch points ok the image I think.
