i hate when this happens

Works the same as M-b for me (backwards-word)

Make sure your /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc contains

# mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving

"\e[1;5C": forward-word

"\e[1;5D": backward-word

"\e[5C": forward-word

"\e[5D": backward-word

"\e\e[C": forward-word

"\e\e[D": backward-word`

‘It was an accident’: the scientists who have turned humid air into renewable power

According to the Lyubchyks, one of these devices can generate a relatively modest 1.5 volts and 10 milliamps. However, 20,000 of them stacked into a washing machine-sized cube, they say, could generate 10 kilowatt hours of energy a day – roughly the consumption of an average UK household. Even more impressive: they plan to have a prototype ready for demonstration in 2024.

That'd be cool if it worked, even if it does it will be cost prohibitive for quite some time.

Offensive

Too many people would change their minds based on what the sign says.

Does you reaction change if the sign read: "Black Lives Matter" or if it read "Back the Blue"?

Or one that says "Trans women are women" vs "trans women aren't women"?

Or "pineapple on pizza is ok" vs "pinapple on pizza is the work of the devil"?

Part of the Social Security website (ssa.gov) only works during certain hours

The hours unavailable:

DayTime OfflineStartStop
Monday - Friday4 hours1am5am
Saturday6 hours11pm5am
Sunday8½ hours11:30pm8am
Total34½ hours/week

The first one sounds like "scheduled maintenance" gone awry. Like for something that takes 5 minutes to run that you tell your boss will take an hour, who tells his boss it'll take two hours, boss then says "let's double that to be safe".

I wanna know WHY it is unavailable. Does the system crash if there's not enough paper in the dot-matrix printer? Are the HTTP responses being filled out manually in real time?

Is NextCloud worth it for a company?

Yeah, for enterprise you aren't going to roll it out yourself. They'd use a partner company to help you set it up and configure it for their needs to ensure that it can continue to scale and provide monitoring solutions. It's too much for one person to do that.

Where are you hosting it? Onsite? Megacorporation's clod solution? Your cable line? What's your data recovery plan? 200+ users can generate a lot of data. What's the security plan? You do know how to harden every aspect of each subsystem, right? What's the monitoring plan? Not just "is it down" but way more granular for each subsystem. How many tech and phone support people will be on call to help?

You could probably roll it out in a way that would work, but at that scale you should really be using a pro. Especially for a "friend". Don't want a tech problem to kill that friendship.

In light of articles all over Lemmy about Google pushing ManifestV3 onto Chrome and the majority of web users, isn't that an antitrust violation?

because a bit faster short term

Waaaaaaay more than "a bit". Like "imperceptible render time" vs 2s for firefox. That adds up a lot.

is worth sacrificing you freedom long term?

What freedom did I lose? I used chromium mostly.

Firefox has performance now, where it did't in the past. So I don't use chrome now.

See, I use the best tool for the job I can find, and that changes over time. For a while the was Chrome.
