We updated our OMG! Ubuntu Chrome extension this week (cos, well, we had to - Manifest V3). Didn't know this existed? My bad; I've not blogged about it once since it launched in 2013. Details on the changes on the blog -> https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/omgubuntu-chrome-extension-update

Big appreciation to all of you who follow and who like, share, and reply (even if it's to point out a typo) ✌️.

Amidst the shifting sands of AI slop, curated algorithms favouring specific types of content, and a broader shift to YouTube and Reddit for news, it often feels like blogs like mine are going the way of the elves in Lord of the Rings 🧝🏻‍♂️.

Your support, especially on a platform like this one, means a lot, so thank you!

IBM’s Iconic Model-M Keyboard Gets Modern Remake from 8BitDo - https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/05/8bitdo-keyboard-m-ibm-model-m-inspired #RetroComputing

@nosville22 Eeeh, yeah, 'remake' probably wasn't the best choice of word for the share lede on my part (I did share like ~2AM my time so I was running on fumes a little). I should've said 'reimagined' or 'homage' (which is what the article uses).

The keys do have a slight curve like the OG, despite the lack of buckling spring. No inset curve in the chassis is a missed opportunity but they're re-using/sharing parts between all their 'retro inspired'' keyboards so perhaps understandable.

Want to access OneDrive files in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS through the file manager? You can; here's how https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/04/set-up-onedrive-file-access-in-ubuntu?1 #ubuntu #onedrive

@tehstu Yeah, you're able to open any MS Office docs saved in OneDrive in LibreOffice from the file manager once this is enabled.

@rotopenguin Okay, so I just had a quick poke around. The gio command can be used with the Google Drive implementation in GOA /but/ it seems that doesn't work with the OneDrive backend in GOA. Gio doesn't "see" the OneDrive mount so it can't be used to do anything with files in it via the CLI. Someone smarter may know better so here's hoping they enlighten us.
