Worth mentioning Jess Frazelle was running desktop applications in docker a while ago. Not a full desktop, but also quicker to rebuild individual apps.

As someone who is also introverted and looking to start a business in the next few months, this is something I'm going to seriously consider.

When I'm on the consuming end of a service, I would always rather help my self than interact with a sales person or support team.

I love the over-the-back-of-the-neck earbuds, specifically the ones from OnePlus that turn off if you use the magnet to turn them off. I don't think they are popular, so I've ordered a few for when they eventually stop getting made.

Unfortunate naming...

Not a dev, but as a DevOps engineer, I use LLMs for a few types of work:

1. A starting point for a problem I've no experience with - "How do I set up replication on a database". I won't follow it blindly, but it gives me a starting point to search online. 2. Helping me put together proposals and documentation. It's great at setting up an outline for things or rewriting my badly written things. 3. Writing regex

As for impacting jobs specifically, I havn't found any impact, yet. If anything, I've seen companies either put down blanket bans of using AI (for fear of people imputting sensitive data), outright banning the URLs on the VPN, or putting very strict policies in place with how they can be used.

The author might have confused a few things, I don't think direnv and Nix are related. I've used direnv for years without touching Nix.

Wouldn't a small script that lets you toggle between a QWERTY layout and a custom layout solve this problem?

"Additional safeguards have been introduced – notably, in the most recent round of amendments, a 'triple-lock' authorization process for surveillance of parliamentarians ..."

Thank god, I'm glad the politicians that passed this law will be protected from it /s

I use Firefox and ublock origin. I also have a Youtube premium account. When I change my firefox useragent to windows/chrome my load times go from 5-10 seconds to under 1.

A little hyperbolic. Here's[0] a 64 page party manifesto from 2019.

From the manifesto front page[1] they talk about immigration, the NHS and investing in schools and infrastructure. It's all rubbish and undelivered, but the policy is more than just Brexit. You might be thinking of UKIP?

Question: Does a site exist that shows campaign promises and if they were delivered? I'm tired of voting one way and the party doing something else. I'm currently politically homeless and would like to back a party in the UK that actually does what it says.

Looks like they recently made up: "UK Labour Party is pro-Israel again, says chair of its visiting friendship group"

"After antisemitism drove Jews away in Corbyn era, MP Steve McCabe says opposition party has returned to traditional Israel-backing stance, but is concerned about the new coalition"

JIT cutlery and crockery.

Isn't this the exact problem? How can websites stay afloat unless you pay for it in one way or another? I guess the choice is buy the product or be the product.

I've been paying for Kagi for 8 months and it's been fine for me. I can live with it in a way I could never live with DDG.

How are "real thanks" and "thanks of the week" different?

It's already passed the commons unfortunately.

This was one of the few times I emailed my MP, Peter Gibson. I laid out all the reasons why backdooring encryption was a bad idea.

I got a response (on very nice thick, embossed paper and green ink) telling me he agrees with me that protecting children online is important and that's why he supports the bill. He clearly didn't read, understand or care what I said.

Something needs to be done. When only the stupid, ignorant or corrupt are the ones willing to go into politics then we are doomed.

I use the app Pocket Cast and listen to podcasts in sped up form.

Current stats: * Listened for 27 days 9 hours, * Manual Skipping: Saved 17 hours, * Increased speed: Saved 31 days 21 hours, * Auto trim silence: Saved 6 days 14 hours

I guess it would all depend on the scale.

For my home servers which just run personal things (like a kanban board as a todo list) I just use watchtower[0]. This requires mounting the docker socket into this container, which is not ideal.

In a production environment, id expect pinning of the docker sha and setting docker tags as immutable. Some software projects exist to scan for updates and draft PRs automatically for changes (I can't remember the name of the software but it begins with R).

Hey, are you ok?

Society is just made up of individual people. I've found that when I get offline and out of big cities, people actually do care a lot. Try not to confuse everyone dealing with their own problems with a lack of care.

If you saw someone pass out on the street, would you care? I bet you would. You will likely find that most other people feel the same way.

Not a doctor, but remember that most vitamins and minerals (and hormones[0]) can be used to supplement a diet low in those things. Ideally everyone would get enough from food, but it seems like most people don't. Vitamin D is important because most people don't get enough sun, and in areas away from the equator it becomes almost impossible to create vitamin D from sunshine for some/all of the year.

If you have the money for a blood test, that will give you a good idea of what you might be missing. A DNA test can also direct you in a similar way. I just found out I might have an issue with converting b12 at the usual rate. This was found when i used my 23andMe raw output in some 3rd party websites.

If you really want to do things right, I think you should also pay attention to the bio availability of supplements. My understanding is that not all vitamins are made equal. This can lead to headlines dismissing the usefulness of supplementation altogether.

I try to focus on whole food supplementation when I need it. I personally take Athletic Greens at 1.5x the recommended dose, along with D3 as 10,000 IU (much higher than the base recommended dose because I live in the UK) and calcium (because I can't eat dairy).
