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

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

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?)

Yeah, the article says

What transpired in the nearly 30 years since the story unfolded is bittersweet

and I was waiting for the sweet part. Turns out, apart from his mum's good intentions, everything in the story's pretty much on the bitter side.

I was reading through hoping they'd show they'd considered the impact on life, but nope. Two to three volts doesn't sound a lot, but if you're a small creature living half in brine it might be a big deal.

Plus the change in the sand that is the whole point, as you say.

After duffing the ball all over the golf course, I sat on my duff, ate some duff, drank too many Duff beers, then some duffer threatened to duff me up because he thought I'd got his sister up the duff. After this duff day, I went into the woods and lay in the duff.

Patrick Delaney's salute:

I know News Corp are evil, but this pic looks more mocking than heartfelt.

Probably not; I'd expect the places where you need something like UUIDv7 (large, eventually-consistent systems) to not be entirely suitable because you can have records added out of sequence. You'd have to add a received-at field - but in that case you may as well just use a standard incrementing ID as your primary key.

In time-based pagination, the suggested fix to lots of data in a selected timespan is:

simply adding a limit to the amount of records returned (potentially via a query parameter) transparently solves it.

This means clients can't see all the results, unless you add a way to view other pages of data, which is just pagination again. Or is the intended design that clients view either the first x results (the default) or view all results?

The problem with articles like OPs and others is that they don't allow custom sorting, which is often a requirement, e.g. interfaces that present the data in a table, where column headers can be clicked to sort.

Ah, I didn't know that - thanks

What connection do Chromebooks have to Android? I thought ChromiumOS was based on Gentoo Linux.

I don't think it's even enshittification (probably costs more to run than Assistant), it's just Google desperate to find a use for its new AI.

News was reporting yesterday that there was an arrest warrant out for Volodymyr Z in Poland but that he just popped over the border back to Ukraine.

[Truss complained that the British press wasn't] “particularly deferential to politicians”

Why should they be? Their job should be to inform the public, not suck up to those in power.

I'd second Mozilla sync, especially as you can self-host the server.

I use that one on Android, since I have a OLED screen and it seems to do wonders for my battery life.

"Disney understandably may want to benefit from the privacy and confidentiality that arbitration brings, rather than having a wrongful death suit heard in public with the associated publicity," says Jamie Cartwright, partner at law firm Charles Russell Speechlys.

If that's what they want, they clearly never heard of the Streisand Effect. This is disgraceful behaviour from Disney, and I hope they come to severely regret it.

Yup, I think a lot of people just use their web browser for everything, and they can definitely just switch. Outside of work, how many non-techies have set up their email to use a native program? Very few, in my experience.

I think documents are sometimes the exception, since there's a sizable (perhaps older) group that like to use Word for everything.

Oh I see - yes, if the seats around the women are automatically reserved then that exploit doesn't work.

I was thinking first would be the fake booking to find where the women were sitting, then switch browsers/clear cookies/whatever and book with the real details.
