Mine still does that, I just press and hold on the spacebar and can move the cursor around, are you sure its no longer available on your phone?

How do people strain their stock? I use a seive with a muslin in which I then squeeze to get all the juices, but its unweildy and messy.

I could have written this, except for the being a good enough programmer to write a browser that is. I wonder if the author has heard of the ladybird browser? https://ladybird.dev/

Would you mind expanding on what you mean by ‘dark developer’? I could guess from context but Id appreciate your definition if you dont mind.
Would you mind sharing it? Im just getting to grips with vim so any pointers towards some simple improvements would be much appreciated.

The article says so: “ Sewage sludge is the byproduct left behind after municipal wastewater is cleaned. As it is expensive to dispose of and rich in nutrients, sludge is commonly used as organic fertiliser in the US and Europe.”

The evil thing is what upsets me the most, so much of technology appears to have a truly sinister side nowadays. Perhaps it always did and Im only now seeing it.

Re:Signal: You were the chosen one [video]

I dont think I did a very good job of explaining what I mean. Im talking about the process to transfer Signal from one phone to another. In my experience it involves placing the phones near one another and transferring over bluetooth (I think) and this process has failed for me a number of times - a scary experience!

Sorry, I meant forward from an existing message. So if I want to share a bunch of photos from one group to another, I dont believe theres any way to select multiple photos (on iOS at least).
Re:Signal: You were the chosen one [video]
on Wednesday July 27, 2022 @06:38AM (#32248826)
The ability to forward more than one photo at a time. When someone reacts to a message I get a notification but there's no way of determining what message has been reacted to. The backup system to restore messages when changing phones is fragile and something I have to help less technical friends / family members with.

I suppose if you take $10 as the price of a pack of cigarettes and $15/hr as the wage earned, then you could argue 2/3 of an hour of leisure time/personal life is lost per pack purchased/smoked.

Its good for the planet, but in the short to medium term people are worried that the burden of caring for a growing elderly population (who control the politics and capital) will fall on a dwindling number of youthful taxpayers
