Re:Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome
on Thursday September 28, 2023 @08:21PM (#37697774)
I am using the same keyboard for Linux and Windows. I disabled the Keylock for both OS, by rolling a piece of metal under the key. Nothing visible. Case solved.
Could have changed it in Linux but the others OS is for work and I can't install or modify anything on that computer.

Funny, I never would have the idea of buying a tent to leave it on the field after a festival. Even a cheap one. I had a similar feeling the first time a saw a disposable camera. Leave me now, I need to sit and reflect on the meaning of life.
Love it! This morning I used it as a no stress snooze.

I would expect a alien calendar to be as complicated as ours. The calendar we use is the result of a long and rich history. Their would likely be as complicated, especially if there are part of a tree sun's system.

Re:Amazon's Kindle will finally add ePub support
on Tuesday May 03, 2022 @12:34AM (#31244655)
Converting to their own proprietary format is not natively supporting Epub format. Also converting being more prone to errors, there will be unreadable ebooks more often than if the reader was supporting it natively.

Also big enterprises and governments were reluctant to change their web browsers quickly, which kept the % of use high for IE for longer than it would have been for individual users only.

Re:Twitter makes it harder to choose the old reverse-chronological feed
on Thursday March 10, 2022 @11:09PM (#30636056)
I deeply hate the algorithmic (Home) version. It seems to totally hide the tweets of people who don't have a certain ranking. What's the point of following someone's account if Tweeter doesn't even show me what they are posting?
Re:Evening use of light-emitting eReaders negatively affects sleep (2014)
on Monday March 07, 2022 @10:02AM (#30588570)
Leds in a phone or tablet screen are directing the light to your eyes, where with a backlit screen, that light is diffused over the area of the screen. So the intensity of direct light from "LE-eReaders" is probably way higher than that of a backlit screen.
Also, it might have to see with the level of blue light that is emitted by those devices. Light in backlit screens is somewhat filtered and might not contain as much blue.
