wheels, to microblogmemes in You had to hold it up to a candle.

There was some kind of “append” mode on CD-R though

Unless you’re in europe where suburbs have food places in walking distance

wheels, to nostupidquestions in Has google stopped working for finding anything?

unlike other sites like DDG actually has its own crawler whereas most alternatives are just frontends for google/bing

Just so you know, DDG does have its own webcrawler (DuckDuckBot). It takes results from that, and the Bing API, and other sources, to generate results.

Also, they pay Bing for results from the Bing API (which as I understand it gives configurable access to the Bing index) and so even the results that do come out of Bing are quite different than you’d get compared to just a “frontend for Bing”.

wheels, to world in Transgender players banned from international women’s cricket by ICC

I am still confused. My understanding was that trans people change their gender. This is something I am able to wrap my head around because gender (man/woman) is a human construct anyway and people should have the freedom to choose where they are on that spectrum.

But isn’t sex a genetic thing that can’t be changed? If it’s the case that a person can choose whether they are male or female then science is going to need new terminology to replace male/female for XY and XX because the words science used to use have been commandeered to mean something more like gender?

wheels, to mechanicalkeyboards in I'm completely new to mechanical keyboards, but I want to get a decent one now. Would like some help picking or building one as I have some weird requirements.

This, and any decent RGB keyboard will support plain white backlighting, which should open up a lot of options

wheels, to technology in Intel’s new 14th Gen CPUs arrive on October 17th with up to 6GHz out of the box

Speeds can’t increase forever though because physics. I was under the impression 5ghz was near the theoretical limit, so I don’t believe we’ll see 7ghz any time soon.

wheels, to world in Western leaders accused of hypocrisy over response to Palestine, Ukraine

ok, I could look this up, but I’m asking you instead. Why is Israel’s behaviour over the last 10 years in Gaza more justified than Russia’s?

wheels, to linux in So let’s talk about this Wayland thing

I just tried this and it was blurry until I logged out and back in!

wheels, to ukcasual in Tea purists divided over new 60-second brew

Loose leaf PG Tips is pretty good though

wheels, to technology in For the first time in 40 years, Windows will ship without built-in word processor - Ars Technica

“M$” was funny on slashdot 20 years ago but it’s a bit tired now.

And notepad is a lot better than it used to be.

Also, calling Microsoft as M$ is pretty cringe, like, are they really any more money grabbing than Apple, Amazon or any other big tech?

wheels, (edited ) to linux in 20gb ram, 10gb zram, 10gb swap, default values. What should I change?

There’s some instructions here but basically:

  1. sudo apt install zram-config

  2. append to end of /etc/sysctl.conf:

    
    <span style="color:#323232;">vm.swappiness = 180
    </span><span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;"># disable swap readahead (since using zram swap)
    </span><span style="color:#323232;">vm.page-cluster = 0 
    </span>
    

    Can check these have been applied with cat /proc/sys/vm/page-cluster or …/swappiness

wheels, to linux in Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?

I also live in Europe
