  • It's worth what someone will actually pay for it. I suspect that $200 is the price at which it is listed...

  • Which they're not going to do as that takes time and meanwhile he keeps moving the goalposts.

  • Skoda have done something similar with their latest offering. No Skoda badge, no radiator grill. Just SKODA in a boring font.

    • Microsoft Teams is dog shit

    Jump

  • Seems to work fine for me. Shrug.

    • Tony's Chocolonely bars are shaped unevenly to represent farmer inequality and the coastline of Africa

    Jump

  • It's also why I no longer buy it. It's a PITA to eat.

    • Twitter getting worse, weird political shit. What's the best Mastodon server and Android app?

    Jump

  • Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I'm on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).

    • SITE CHANGED HEADLINE: Harris says she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected

    Jump

  • She didn't "pledge" to, but she didn't seem adverse to the idea if it was the right person.

    • Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

    • Reddit Warns That r/WallStreetBets Could Wreak Havoc on Its Stock Price

    • Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing

    Jump

  • This is what puts me off.

    Runar Bjørhovde, an analyst at Canalys, said return rates of foldables are 5-10 percent, far higher than traditional smartphones and a deterrent to repeat purchases.

    A phone costing me four digits with that high a return rate. Nope.

    • What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

    Jump

  • That would have been Slackware, which in those days came on a stack of 3.5" floppy disks. So early 90's (and hence I was in my mid-30s) but I was still mainly using Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock to connect to the Internet.

    I think the first time I really took it seriously was in the mid 90's with Debian, a copy of which was posted to me, on CD-ROM I think, by Ian Murdock himself (back in the days when he was still with Debra 😏).

  • We update it a lot. We also have a product (for walkers in the British Isles) called WayMaps (used by a variety of walking web sites in the UK and also our own demo site https://waymaps.the-hug.net/) which uses the geodata from OSM and other Open Data to produce our own map tiles. We love OSM.
