  • China shop loses US$4.2 million in 20 minutes after washing machine pricing error | South China Morning Post

    Jump

  • Why are you quoting a US site for a case in China?

    Jump

  • Conversely, if the pricing is due to an error, the company can petition the court to annul the purchase contract, allowing it to refund customers without the necessity of delivering the goods.

    Surely, this will apply.

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

    Jump

  • Bad wording on my part, I wasn't disagreeing. My file server has a /files directory because it saves me a few key strokes and because I can.

  • Linux Directory Structure - FHS

    Jump

  • Is Gobo case-insensitive by default? Typing those seems annoying.

  • That's an old image, though - Windows has a C:\Users\youruser setup like /home/youruser for a while now.

    I find the %APPDATA% thing way less convenient than ~/.config and I'm quite happy when programs have the "bug" that they still use ~/.config on Windows.

  • what fucked up tumblr subculture has my shitpost reached

    I've never been on tumblr and just assumed the whole site was like that.

  • After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship

    Jump

  • The source story is worth a read.

    Marrero’s background is in Navy intelligence, and she earned a master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in information security and digital management

    Incredible.

    she soon changed the “STINKY” Wi-Fi network name to another moniker that looked like a wireless printer — even though no such general-use wireless printers were present on the ship

    Why not just switch off broadcasting the SSID?

    [The CO and XO] then conducted another sweep inside the ship. Although the network that appeared to be a wireless printer appeared on their personal devices during their search, neither made additional inquiries regarding that network

    No-one's coming out of this looking good.

    Marrero’s secret Starlink dish was removed the same day, and Marrero told another unidentified crew member the next day that it was authorized for in-port use — prompting sailors to re-install the illegal Starlink.

    It just keeps going!

  • Introducing SUSE Typeface: SUSE’s new open sourced font

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Does anybody know an open source self hosted application to create diagrams? Like draw.io or something like that

    Jump

  • There's kroki as well, which includes Mermaid, Excalidraw, GraphViz, PlantUML, etc.

  • Carrots help you hear better.

    Jump

  • That doesn't sound heatlhy.

  • Staticrypt: Password protect a static HTML page, decrypted in-browser in JS with no dependency. No server logic needed.

    Jump

  • Well yeah, you need to do the computation somewhere and it's not doing it on the server so...

  • Vimium like plugin for firefox with favicon support?

    Jump

  • I've been using Vimium C, but as it's based on Vimium it may have the same problem.

  • End of the Road: An AnandTech Farewell

    Jump

  • Ah bollocks, another trusted voice silenced. Now it'll be that slight bit harder to find a review that isn't just parroting stuff from the press release.

  • Russian advances prompt public criticism of Ukraine’s Kursk push

    Jump

  • Ukraine have destroyed three bridges in Kursk, which will affect Russia's ability to get supplies to their invading forces, but they're also over rivers where it's fairly trivial to set up temporary bridges (unless they are destroyed by drones).

  • [Ahoy] Nobody Knows How Many Amigas Commodore Sold

    Jump

  • I thought it was clever, but now I'm seeing what I assume you're seeing.

  • IL marshmallows are a 4000 year old food beginning in ancient Egypt AND originally they were made from the sap of a mallow plant…that grows in marshes…

    Jump

  • It's saying modern marshmallows are made with corn syrup, starch, sugar and gelatin but originally it was made with mallow plant.

    Now I want to try the mallow version - has anyone here tried them?

  • TIL although the idea that Adam and Eve ate an apple is common, the Book of Genesis never mentions the identity of the forbidden fruit.

    Jump

  • Including English: æppel meant any kind of fruit, which is why you have names like pineapple and elephant apple.

  • Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Arrested in France

    Jump

  • There's moderation per community and per server. There's no "fediverse moderator", of course, but I think you're vaguely worrying for nothing.

  • TIL That the Million Dollar 1988 McDonalds record winner was 13, had his mom claim it, she squandered a good chunk of it, had her BF steal what was left, lost his mom 10 years later,

    Jump

  • Makes sense - the article says it's just a regular piece of plastic, but it's printed and clearly isn't just a copy (unless you can photocopy onto plastic?)
