Agreed, although, that money should come from proper taxation of the very richest.

Most people wouldn't have the slightest idea how to use Wordpress, nor even what a domain is, let alone how to do anything with one.

In addition to other reasons given, I see their web interfaces as recruitment methods.

People who don't have the app can still click links which bring them to the FB/IG/Tw websites - and then that could be enough to get them interested enough to then go on and install the full app especially when they find out how restricted the websites are.

This is adjusted for inflation, so the PS5 Pro would be listed at its current price with no changes.

Oh, duh, of course! Thanks, I was being dense :-)

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wonder where the new PS5 Pro would be, seems hugely expensive.

Hopefully it'll become remembered as the McCarthyism of its day.

Ha - fashion > fascism :-)

Thanks, that's really interesting. I guess black laces were the only safe option!

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Thank you for being less lazy than me! Still though, white laces are pretty common. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a white supremacist just because of that.

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Could you expand on the laces thing? I've never heard of laces (white, yellow or anything else) signifying anything in this topic.

I've only ever heard one of those songs, but I like it (Bang and Blame)!

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, same here. I don't disbelieve those who love it, but I just couldn't get into it because it felt so unintuitive.

 

Or at least that's what Google says they are... :-)

 

Already getting sick of seeing 'AI' results at the top of a search when all you want is a link to a site?

I just discovered this article showing a way to not see it (although it doesn't disable it altogether).

TLDR:

  • In Chrome open settings menu, choose Search engine on left menu and scroll down to site search
  • Click Add button and choose a name (eg Old Google, Google Web or whatever)
  • Add a shortcut word (eg web, og, or whatever)
  • Add this URL string: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
  • Save that, and now if you search for something and use the shortcut word you set you'll just get proper results, no 'AI' shown
  • Or, if you don't want to have to add a shortcut word, you just make that search your default (use the 3 dot menu next to the name you set) and all searches will show that way, no shortcut word needed.

EDIT - meant to add that there are detailed instructions for Edge, Firefox and Safari in the article if you don't use Chrome

Hope that helps someone - I really don't like all that extra nonsense when I just want a link to a site that I know exists!

[Obligatory - "or don't use Chrome/Google...", I know - but people do, so this might be useful]

 

Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this?

Here's my use case in more detail

I have a laptop and a PC, with the laptop connecting to one of my 2 monitors via an HDMI splitter. This allows me to use my PC on both screens most of the time, but then quickly switch one monitor to show the laptop, when required.

Only thing is that doing that causes all PC windows* on Screen 2 to jump to Screen 1, while Screen 2 now shows the laptop's windows. That's fine, and I get why it does that (effectively the PC thinks I've disconnected Screen 2).

* (usually it's a bunch of Chrome windows, 5-7 of them - for work/multi-client reasons this works best for me and my PC handles it fine)

When I switch the HDMI splitter back, all PC windows remain on Screen 1, while Screen 2 is once again showing my PC desktop, but with no windows. Ideally all windows would flip back to where they were before, but I don't think there's a way to do this, and again, that's fine.

My next preferred option is to be able to able to move all Chrome windows over from Screen 1 to Screen 2 quickly - and this is what I'm looking for advice on. I can't seem to find a way to "select" all/multiple Chrome windows and shift them to Screen 2, but it feels like there must be a way?

Any help greatly appreciated :-)

 

Not much for a mention for TP though, but in case Josie fans are interested :-)

 

More sad news, as Gene Parmesan/Colonel Mustard himself passes away. RIP Martin 😞

 

Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.

You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?

Sorry Norway, you deserved better.

Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot...

So.

If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through:

  • Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia
  • Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia
  • Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think)

If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through

  • Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result)

  • Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland)

  • England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia).

  • There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia)

  • Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia)

  • Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely.

  • No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do.

  • Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above.

And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)

 

Come on Scotland fans, let's get this community up and running in advance of Scotland's forthcoming run to becoming European champions!

0' - Game has just kicked off, 0-0
15' - Decent start, couple of really good chances already for Hanley and Forrest, both probably should have been buried.
30' - Scotland in control, but can't get a shot on target.
HT - Same old Scotland, never scoring...
58' - GOAL! Christie slams it home after getting into a bit of a fankle with Shankland (a shankle? A fankland?) Nice ball in by Robertson too.
85' - GOAL! Adams. I didn't see it, but apparently it was a good one 👍

=========================================================

Lineups:

Gibraltar (Manager: Julio Ribas, Formation: 5 - 4 - 1)

Subs 3 J. Chipolina | 7 L. Casciaro | 11 E. De Haro | 13 C. López | 14 T. Carrington | 15 E. Llambias | 16 J. Bartolo | 17 K. Ronan | 18 L. Jessop | 21 M. Ruiz | 22 K. Ronco | 23 D. Coleing | 24 E. Santos

=========================================================

Scotland (Manager: Steve Clarke, Formation: 4 - 2 - 3 - 1)

21 Z. Clark | 22 R. McCrorie | 3 A. Robertson (c) | 23 K. McLean | 15 R. Porteous | 5 G. Hanley | 11 R. Christie | 14 B. Gilmour | 19 L. Shankland | 7 J. McGinn | 25 J. Forrest

Could have done without this. Not that I rate Dykes all that highly, but we're already thin on forwards. Someone wrap Shankland up in bubble wrap!

 
 

Great timing. Unless they're thinking they might get a new manager bounce without actually appointing a new manager?

 

Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please... 🤞🤞🤞
