Anyone in Sweden (I'm in Trollhättan) have an old Mac keyboard (like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:App…) they are willing to give/sell me?

My MacBook Pro keyboard starting going bad about a year after I got it. When I took it in, they said it was probably water damage and they wouldn't cover it under consumer law.

The repair cost was entirely too high, so I carry a keyboard for serious typing.

It's old enough that it uses AA batteries, has lost one key, and the ⌘ key is falling off.

I quite like it.

So does this guy have a job climbing through tight pipes or caves?

Sounds like an X-men skill.

Why Biden’s Ukraine Win Was Zelensky’s Loss

in reply to davel

... Biden has achieved those three objectives. But success on those limited terms provides little satisfaction even to some of his closest allies and advisers...

Wow, it's almost like left and right are two wings of the same anti-white jewish bird or something. :thinking_eggplant:



I cannot get over the incredibly stupid ways in which ActivityPub / fediverse is being mismanaged.

The UX sucks & bad. No web developer in their right mind is going to say "Hey, lets add Share With Mastodon buttons on our pages". I saw one site that did and it prompts users to enter the URL of their home instance before the share can go through.

If fedi is like Email, then why doesn't activitypub have a protocol prefix (like Email) to avoid this problem?!

@atomicpoet Regular consumers are mostly using Android, otherwise there is no commonality in the GUIs they use (and they don't even know its Linux, even when its Android). That's not very empowering for them.

If you train an English or Law major on Linux in college, they're not going to feel their skills are transferable when they sit down at another Linux machine in a different institution. All the online help will be CLI based for the same reason: UI was deprecated as window dressing.

Well, Android is the Linux most people are familiar with. Gamers nowadays know about SteamOS. Linux is in a variety of embedded systems, and even powers stuff like Smart TVs. And of course, we know all about servers.

That’s where I think ActivityPub is going. Once it has a big enough network effect, devs will simply think, “Why am I building so much of social connectivity from scratch when there’s this library that makes things easier for me?”

Building the network effect is the hardest part of social media development, so if you don’t have to do this, that’s great.

Other thing is, do users need to know about ActivityPub to find it useful? Most of the people using Pixelfed are absolutely oblivious to decentralization, they’re just enjoying the vibe.

I’d like to see ActivityPub with recipe sharing, games, financial analysis, documentation—something as simple as commenting on documents.



There are two types of words for 9 in the Germanic languages.

Type 1 is g-less:
e.g. German 'neun', Swedish 'nio'.

Type 2 does have a g:
e.g. Dutch 'negen', Frisian 'njoggen'.

You'd think that English 'nine' is type 1, but it used to have a g too: in Old English, it was 'nigon'. It lost its g in Middle English.

So did 'neun' and 'nio' lose their g too?
No, they've never had one.

The g only evolved in the north-western branch of West Germanic.

My new graphic tells you all about it.

The #Faroese ‘níggju’ is the opposite. It developed its -ggj- separately through a regular sound change.
