It does, yeah. If you aren’t averse to cloudflare then it’s a great option.

From memory I think it’s limited to http/https traffic, but that’s normally not an issue, just have all your services behind a reverse proxy.

One place I worked issued work from home kits, and asked you to please never ever ever return your keyboard and mouse, it’s yours forever, keep it when you quit, because no one else will want it once it’s been WFHed for a while.

Before I commit, is there a similar movie that would help decide if it’s my thing? The reason I’m asking:

Evolution received mixed-to-negative reviews from film critics with criticism for its storyline, screenplay and pacing; however, the performances of the cast received minor praise.

IMO the header should stay at the top as part of the page. I know where it is, I’ll scroll up to it if I need to.

Like you, I find a header appearing and hiding quite difficult in specific circumstances.

They only credit for months you do no searches at all, if you do one you pay for the full month, but it’s a nice touch. Personally I can’t think of a situation where I’d do no searches in a month!

For something as important as search, paying $5 or $10 a month seems entirely reasonable to me. I’ve been a Kagi user ever since their unlimited plan dropped to $10 a month when they reached enough users that they could do that.

You are paying for these services one way or another. But no one says you have to pay $10 for each service.

Yes, it shouldn’t be needed

My view is that is should be needed. Advertising is a bad business model, I’d much prefer paying for a service I used. I think we should all get more comfortable paying for the sites we use.

You mentioned not being able to find a good alternative not tied to a subscription. Seems like if you find a good alternative tied to a subscription she could use it!

But yes I understand that change is hard. I spent years working in Excel, hate the thing, but it’s so very hard to change to LibreOffice Calc.

I’ve used Linux for years at this point, but I never really learnt much about running Windows programs except games, and they make that too easy.

But there’s a windows laptop right there 😆

I’m asking as a learning exercise rather than because I desperately need to get it working on my machine.

This is the specific example I was talking about: https://apps.nissan.navshop.com/en_gb/

I’m sure it could run in wine if I was snarter or kept at it, but I tried it, it didn’t work straight away, so I used the windows laptop because I wasn’t in the mood to spend hours troubleshooting when I had the choice.

I would be curious if it works for you and what your steps are as I do need to run it every 6 months or so to update maps. I use Nobara but also have Bazzite and Mint computers available if there’s some distro oddity.

Also if you know how to tell tomtom that my house in a quiet street that people crawl along isn’t an 80kph zone that would be great 😆

I think this is a very valid reason. I used to reinstall Windows every 6 months or so for various reasons, switching to Linux wasn’t any more work. But if you don’t enjoy researching, installing OSs, etc then it’s only ever going to feel like a chore.

Funny, I could never afford photoshop so I find GIMP much easier to get around in 😆. There used to be a GIMP plugin that changed everything to be like Photoshop, not sure if it still exists. But GIMP doesn’t have feature parity with Photoshop, one of these days we’ll be able to draw shapes.

Is InDesign not already a subscription service?

Someone answered about their wife so I will to. My wife hasn’t switched because her husband doesn’t encourage it because it’s the only computer (of many) left in the house with Windows on it, and occasionally there’s some Window’s only program you have to download to update the maps in your car or something like that, and it’s nice to still have one machine that can do it (rather than paying the dealer…).

I have many comments about your assumptions about Linux but I’ll hold my tongue.

I feel like this book needs a warning. It’s long, and I struggled to follow it. I had to look up the Wikipedia plot summary chapter by chapter to work it out through the middle part of the book.

Some people love it but it wasn’t my kind of book. Or maybe I juat didn’t follow the social commentary while I was trying to follow WTF was happening and who was using which name at which time.

Original admin went AWOL, other admin couldn’t access server. Second admin couldn’t get ahold of first admin, eventually server went down. Second admin started new NSFW instance.

Then they somehow got everything back (maybe original admin replied to messages), and so the old site went up again as an archive.

Personally I try to follow only fun stuff! Subscribed/Home feed for fun, All feed for doom and gloom.

I’ve also seen claims that Google uses OSM to validate their map.

They don’t want to use it directly because they would have to give attribution, but they can use it in automated internal processes to identify where it differs from Google Maps (including which data source is more recent) and where there are significant differences they can get their team to look into it.

my thinkpad lappy has a 230w power supply. can usb-c do that?

The latest USB-C Power Delivery Standard should do 240w, but not all USB-C ports are rated for it.

Interesting that duel motors and AWD make hardly any difference! I’m quite happy with my single motor FWD performance, and it seems like they might be similar.
