fun fact, the four hour figure comes from average wait times during a rush at LAX and then, for some reason, got applied to every airport at all times.

you think only people with jobs can have informed opinions? weird take but ok.
you’re not gonna get a reply to these questions, because they installed eza themself and also, separately, heard about ubuntu adopting the uutils reimplementations of coreutils, which of course does not include eza.

1·2 days agothey literally explained the problem in the second sentence of their comment:
Seriously, anything on GPUI reads as “empty window” to screen readers.
i mean, yeah. turned out to be a pretty good way to make pdf conversion accessible to a lot of people and make it convenient to convert it and print it all from one spot.
Like more than the headline?
nobody on lemmy does that, come on

write a bash script that rsyncs your keepass database to your other devices and run it once in a while. i have seen way too many online password vaults get hacked to ever bother with them.
my keepass database has never once been hacked.
looking at you, every online password manager service.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.IEnglish
13·4 days agogithub had (has?) free pro accounts for students back when github didn’t offer private repos for free. if you forgot to cancel your student account when you graduated, github would simply hold your private repos hostage unless you paid for them. no option given to simply make them public repos. i would have lost mountains of my work had they not fucked up and unlocked my repos for a couple hours, which allowed me to clone everything i didn’t have locally and migrate to gitlab.
so basically, sometimes those student offers build in scam tactics.

2·5 days agoopening more lanes very obviously makes things better for customers but that’s not even remotely the goal. self-checkout lets them slash their labor costs and give out more executive bonuses by just paying one employee to manage the entire self-checkout section. they wouldn’t get to keep that money if they opened up more lanes and paid an employee per lane. so now every store has 20 lanes with at most three lanes open, and only if it’s really slammed.
sticking an asterisk in place of one letter doesn’t mean you aren’t still just saying it, it’s like when people upload movie scenes to youtube where someone gets shot in the head but they blur the gun like that makes it not still just a scene of someone getting shot. if it’s too difficult to say “porn” and “fucking,” there are other terms for those things. saying them and pretending an asterisk makes it different just comes across as being too immature to even being talking about it in the first place.
yes, that’s how they’re convincing everyone on social media to do free advertising for this hideous, $40 popcorn bucket.
