I use Remote Desktop it a lot, and was warned about the changing name beforehand. And yet when one day the old application disappeared from my dock, I had the same reaction. I thought company IT or a macOS update might’ve screwed me over.

I’m used to it now, but that was a strange day.

Does the team for your team have a theme in Teams yet?

Are you sure it’s not appje?

Wouldn’t you need half the clock if it had twice the numbers?

I think I remember seeing another one too, but I can’t find it.

Sounds like most of Lemmy. Honestly sometimes I feel it’s worse than Reddit with the constant bashing on anything except Linux, Firefox, or - for some reason - Steam. Still glad I left Reddit though.

I’ve gone the opposite route. I never log in, and remove all cookies. I almost always use an incognito tab for YouTube. I’m a new visitor to them every time, in as much as that’s possible. I use bookmarks to go back to creators I want to see, and occasionally check them. No subscriptions either, which may suck for the creator, but at least they get my views.

It has worked for them for years. It’s just more targeted now.

“I’m a cat people” - Nastassia Kinski is that you?

They may have dyuers coloures.

And how is lichdom treating you? Have you raised an army of skeleton warriors yet?

There are 168 hours in a week. Why not use them all?

“There is only one building in North America, probably in the world, where one can browse bestsellers and children’s books by crossing an international border and then sit for an amateur theatre troupe in a regal opera house with each half of your body in two different countries.”

Okay that’s a rather stringent set of requirements, written specifically for this library, but there are many buildings across the world that sit on international borders. That includes residential homes. There are people who literally have to cross a border to get from their bed to their shower in the morning.

Not the point of the article, I know, but really that could’ve been written better.

Draw an S on there and bam! you have a Super button.

What’s a Super button you ask? It’s the S in S-M-butterfly. Or in other words: it’s an extra modifier key.

PDF, as it evolved from PostScript, is the de facto standard for most print jobs. Commercial print (think magazines and flyers), packaging, large format (e.g. billboards), books, many textile prints, etc. They all use PDF extensively. And very often those PDFs are print technically garbage. Fixing that in the original application is either not possible or, more frequently, requires knowledge the designers simply don’t have. So the print shop’s prepress department does it in PDF directly.

Honestly, depending on what you need it for, there may not be an alternative. I’ve tried a bunch over the years, and most don’t handle overprint, don’t have colour management settings, don’t know about the more complex shading types or type 3 fonts, etc.

There are specialised software packages that do know about these, but they are closed source and expensive, and then ignore other parts of the PDF spec like 3D or animation.

Acrobat is awful bloatware that somehow still lacks basic functionality - but it’s the only one I know of that covers pretty much all of PDF.

And vice versa, you don’t need to know how to centre a div to create a game in assembler. I’m comfortable using pointers and managing memory, but don’t ask me to do anything with web UI.

I want faster horses.

Should’ve used Luce.
