F*ked on race day
Garmin are fairy popular in my circles and area.
I prefer apps and desktop apps when they are available. They feel and work nicer mostly than web based. But we live more and more in a browser world and there is less and less choice and I understand I must move with the times.
That’s putting a lot of eggs in one basket on an assumption. I would say let’s keep it in different formats.

Better to be safe than sorry.

You’re assuming straight line civilisation. That we’ll always be as we are or more advanced technologically speaking. But civilisation isn’t straight line and one day who knows. Physical records will still be accessible even when digital no longer are.
But are digital records really more resilient to catastrophic societal and global changes? Physical records don’t need anything to exist and be read and only time and simple resources to duplicate compared with digital.
Re:Safer roundabouts are replacing traffic signals (2023) on Saturday July 13, 2024 @04:08PM (#40956519)
Roundabout’s are only suitable for intersections where traffic on each route is roughly equal. In NZ I can’t recall seeing roundabouts built where the routes are not roughly equal in size and volume. In saying that, mistakes happen and things change and there are roundabouts that suffer this sometimes.
Not very often companies will absorb the costs IME. Sometimes though it’s delayed or through some other side effect.
Re:What We're Working on in Firefox on Thursday May 30, 2024 @05:21PM (#40528850)
Firefox does have profiles and has had for as long as I’ve needed them. For some reason they’ve always been hidden away and needed different args on start to change the profile being started, or the use of an extension to allow profile switching. I don’t use them anymore but from what I remember they worked well and were very isolated. Hopefully they’re using the current implementation and just making it more user friendly?

Let’s not forget the other kingdoms. We’ll have to be pretty convincing with convince the fungi to stop eating everything they can get their tentacles on

It’s still a good option, maybe not the best. No ads on youtube in and off its self is worth it. Especially when you have kids and you don't want them blasted with every ad under the sun every few minutes.
Everything. Everything I look at or touch I soon realise it’s way bigger and deeper than I thought. You could choose nearly any topic and turn the study of it into a phd if you really want.
Re:Postman Has Acquired Orbit on Friday April 12, 2024 @06:42AM (#40011140)
Is there a good alternative to postman. I recently tried Bruno and liked it but it was lacking in so many little ways I had to revert to postman. And not for the first time either, I’ve tried other solutions. Postman seems so heavy and annoying now but everything else seems lacking somewhere
Indeed a single quote is. But it 3500m being close to 11000ft feels very coincidental.
I've seen these videos on YouTube. If it's real why is nothing getting said. I'm a little confsed on whether to believe it. Would appreciate some reliable and factual source/report on this.
It's won't be contained to any one generation. This is multi generational both now and in the future.
I don't think they said profit is the problem. They said it being expected increased profits year on year is the problem.
Maybe they were using earth measurements? 3500 metered is getting pretty close to 11000 imperial feet.
Happy with my up to 31 days amoled watch.
So adding to global pollution and consumption for use of and production of items that will end rubbish is ok then when it's not really essential.
Re:Orion Browser by Kagi on Tuesday November 28, 2023 @02:58AM (#38443453)
Does if have a mobile version or can you sync with a mobile browser of another vendor?

If not then it's not for me at this stage

Does librewolf have a mobile version or can I sync Firefox stuff to libre so I can sync between Firefox and libre where needs require one or the other is installed?

Re:Kagi finally let me lay Google Search to rest on Thursday October 12, 2023 @01:56AM (#37853883)
Don't use Kagi for this instances if you're that way inclined
Re:Kagi finally let me lay Google Search to rest on Thursday October 12, 2023 @01:55AM (#37853874)
I use Kagi now and love it.

But I used DDG for a few years prior and rarely ever used Google. I think DDGs results are subjective in that for some people they are better or as good than Google's.

Let's hope Kagi keep up the good work.

Re:Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch on Monday October 02, 2023 @06:39PM (#37745411)
I assume these are solid gold and it can be cast into something useful for many more years?

Does this apply to the legacy pro plan as well?

Awesome find and I am not surprised at all by the age. I wonder which species it was?
