Email from The National Lottery.

I mean, that's kinda the hope, isn't it?

I am wondering if this page should be put up for deletion. The show is over, it's not notable, and there are errors on the page.

I don't want to go through the process of doing the deletion myself, but I wouldn't mind if someone else did.

@soupglasses Ok, thanks. I did read through some of The Rules ™️ but wasn't sure. I appreciate the feedback. 🙏

I know some of our profiles are out of date, for one.

I have never seen this popup before this week. Now, after seeing it and clicking on it for the eleventy-billionth time, I never want to see it again.

@monospace It pops up when I am using a VM to test something which should be automated. This makes it non-automated. Which is broken. It should have a 'remember this answer' on it.

@jamesh Ah, interesting. I'm launching something from the command line, not via a desktop launcher. It doesn't ship a desktop file.

Also, the fact it has "Allow inhibiting" as the first two bold words I see, is cognitively overloading.

Also, the text doesn't even make sense to me. It's the worst kind of dialog, because I don't know what it's actually asking me for permission to do.

I am beginning to really hate this dialog. I have no idea where it comes from, or where to file a bug.

@jamesh Step one: https://pad.lv/2065295 - filed a bug

@jamesh Step two: Nothing, there is no second thing.

@jamesh Thanks. Is there a 'quick fix' I can do on my machine? I guess create a desktop file might be one way to start. Obviously I'd like this fixed for everyone, but I'm user 0 :D

Ok, now I see why TikTok needs to be banned! This hit hard. ⬇️

(en_GB) "Good day!"

While in the excitable states of America, it's been a helpful, disarming (not like that!) strategy I have used.

I fondly recall an aggressively arguing couple in the car next to us waiting at the lights in Pasadena some years back.

I was transfixed.
Look everyone, a barny!

They stared back, somewhat cross, wound down their window to remonstrate. I opened ours, said "GOOD DAY", the lights changed and we were off! VROOOM!

This got me thinking I might start calling this:

"The Tabulation Key".

After getting mildly mocked at work by the USians for saying "GOOD DAY!" on entering a Zoom call. :D

On my phone, Apple Maps has automagically determined that my place of "Work" is the cafe at the base of the building. I mean, I do often go there first each day...

(ignore the times on screenshots, they were taken on different days)

I'm taking part in a webinar at work tomorrow. At some point before then, I need to stop fiddling with the slides!

But I can't stop re-aligning things, tweaking the colours, or changing logos. 💀

Time to see if those slides work!
