Talking of Numpads, I noticed devs not using Numpads as much as non IT power users. For spreadsheet entry, like doing my tax return, Numpad entry is really fast.
I wonder if this is worth a poll.
Not that anyone uses full sized keyboards any more-ever.
@LateNightLinux proprietary CAD software is a very, very long way ahead of FOSS CAD. The differences in usability being so great as to be unusable for many tasks. Only those who use simple sketch+pad blocks seem to be OK.
And yes, I hate the ‘discussion’ about short haul flight bans.
The idea in principle is fine, but the crux is HOW you do it and WHAT you ban (France bans very, very little) - but the number of people going “ooooooh can we have the same here?" massively outweighs the number of people who’ve examined the ineffectiveness of France's ban

The soft-start ban means you improve the likelihood of getting it introduced with less resistance.
But it also means you have time to find and ramp up the pain points before tightening the ban. Green alternatives are often not available for the many new green laws heading our way.
The DE farmers might not have made such a huge fuss about losing Diesel subsidies if there was easy green alternatives all ready to go. Decades of previous, coal burning, governments to blame of course
@jon@trantion Right. I'm assuming it's easier to adjust the travel time, over time. By then, airlines will certainly have re-arranged operations to minimise costs, and plan for the next steps as they see the way things are going.
Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?
Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

I install it from a USB stick. It's not hard. Last time that took me less than 10 minutes. I'm not an IT person, never using the command line or any IT things.
Linux is not perfect, but very usable. The distro I use looks after itself. If anything does mess up, I can simply reinstall.
@slashdot If the alien eggs, leftover from that planet, withstood the heat, they should start hatching just about now. And burrow up into the sewers. Worrying.
@cliffwade They tried to bully us into joining G+ to get their user numbers up. They stopped letting android users review apps without joining G+.
I didn't join. It yet was another centralised network, which would have gone toxic like all the others. A piece of poisoned history.
@thelinuxcast
Statistically, it could be due to the sheer enormity of the problem cars and drivers cause, means there is bound to be a huge push back. With Mastodon people really at the cusp.
