@itsNoahPham @adelwu_ I’ve taken to putting my keys up there :)

@GraemeMeyer @adelwu_ it’s still not that good haha, i used it for airpods, pennies, cards and other small things

who has cool work bag suggestions?? must: - fit a 16’ laptop - thick strap (comfy on shoulder) - have interior pockets - preferably leather? - not be super bulky budget is….flexible?

@itsNoahPham @adelwu_ Confirm I have the 15L version and it’s pretty good. The sunglasses pocket is too small to fit glasses in, but I think that’s not so bad on the 20L

@adelwu_ the best looking, functional and ergonomic bag ever! stubbleandco.com/products/the-e…

@RealToasterBoi @suchnerve Can’t speak to what you experienced before, but Kagi have access too Google’s index/data so they have essentially the same results by default that a clean google search has in my experience.

@suchnerve Has something changed in the last few months? I tried kagi but results just felt lower quality than competitors. Half the time I ended up searching something on Google cus I couldn't find it with kagi quickly enough. Although I was using the trial idk if thats different somehow

So I tried switching from Google to Kagi and I’m sorry to report the hype is accurate. It really is better. You don’t realize how infuriating it is for your searches to get derailed by walls of SEO & ads until it isn’t happening anyone. The search algo feels like Google used to.

We ran a user <> assistant reversal test with Kimi K2.6 It immediately tried to jailbreak us:

Whatever happens, Keir Starmer will always be remembered for leading the Labour Party to a crushing victory over its most hated opponent and evil rival, the membership of the Labour Party.

@GergelyOrosz “Linux [makes it difficult for non-technical users to get malware on their machines]” you’re dreaming on that one.

Absolutely Microsoft to blame, for making it too easy for anyone non-tech-savvy to end up with malware on their machine that hijacks all their Edge browsing sessions Apple with Mac and Linux all solved this. Microsoft doesn’t want to do anything about it - not on Win 10!

Having been so used to using a Mac or Linux, it’s wild how messed up my winder family members’ Windows 10 systems are. Malware everywhere to the point of unable to use the internet, McAffee screaming in their face and doing nothing depute paying for it. Absolute horror…

game development when learning a new engine

@CyberBroodje @thomasklemenc Wouldn’t that just be unnecessary bloat? Does WinUI 3 provide something that would be useful in this app?

@thomasklemenc cool but no WinUI3 🫪

Organised Capital is far too comfortable making threats against democratically elected leaders and Governments.

@Matt_Ca @siennamarla *recognise

@Matt_Ca @siennamarla I guess it’s about solidarity with the oppressed. If your leaders can’t reconsider and be honest about what is happening to the Palestinians, it’s a good signal that they won’t fight for your interests either

NEW: A group of Labour MPs and general secretaries of Labour-affiliated trade unions are launching a new political initiative called Socialism26 They have the following immediate demands: – New Deal for Working People in full – Recognise the genocide in Gaza, support rebuilding efforts, introduce sanctions – WASPI compensation – Drop jury trials policy, lift restrictions on the right to protest, stop changes to indefinite leave to remain – Measures to cut energy bills The founders are: Unison's Andrea Egan FBU's Steve Wright CWU's Dave Ward TSSA's Maryam Eslamdoust + Neil Duncan-Jordan Chris Hinchliff Cat Eccles Terry Jermy Peter Lamb Brian Leishman Simon Opher Richard Quigley Lee Barron Lorraine Beavers Chris Bloore Steve Witherden Also backed by lots of Socialist Campaign Group MPs

🚨NEW: Labour MP texts me: "When you live in a house share with a load of gay guys and they are all completely fantastic but there is always one who is an absolute cvnt - that guy is Streeting"

If it genuinely comes down to streeting vs starmer I’m genuinely voting Starmer

If a Green candidate called for Jews to be melted down and used to fill pot holes, Keir Starmer would call a Cobra meeting and proscribe the Green Party, but a Reform candidate can say that about Nigerians and silence. This is what we mean when we say there is a racism hierarchy.

@davisrichardg Some of MS defenders on this need to stop and consider why so many of users say they experience Windows (or their other OS) as slow and unreliable, despite their “good” code. Whatever qualities you think the code has that makes it good, the end result is users that hate it.

Yep... Lots of computer science "experts" on this platform lately. Just a friendly reminder that Windows is good, Linux is good, and macOS is good. Use the right tool for the job, because they all have pros and cons.

the thing nobody but me is brave enough to ask about the uk green party: did the boob hypnosis thing work

@nico81598 @ricktycricket @matvelloso Manufactures select the parts and drivers and often have a signifiant role in witting the drivers and firmware. Everyone is to blame

@ricktycricket @matvelloso Its a problem with Windows standby not the laptop manufacturer.

Some history: Back in Windows 8/Windows Phone days, they made many decisions about app restrictions, app store rules, etc. always with the justification "But Apple does it". Turns out that just because Apple did a thing, it doesn't mean Microsoft could do it too, because Microsoft != Apple (shocking, I know). For instance, I don't remember Apple laptops overheating on people's backpacks, draining their batteries and leaving users with no power when they needed it. I'm not saying this particular decision is bad (or good), just that "Apple does it too" is a weak argument when there's precedent for users to be suspicious given the low reliability they have experienced over the years. Consider that this is the same OS that just announced that it will focus on solving the (way too many) reliability problems it has been facing for so long. Therefore, a much better argument would be "we can guarantee this won't have side effects or issues, it is fully tested and it is not going to be (yet) another feature that we will have to un-announce in a couple of years because it backfired".
