Departed Humour: GLitcH! Snail Speed

It was the year 2000 and a computer mouse cursor was creeping along like a snail in this showcase of a departed comic strip called GLitcH!

I wish #Apple would sort their keyboard out. The text correction is shockingly bad, especially when swiping to type. It’s to the point where I have to proofread everything I type.

Perfect example - it just corrected “proodread” to “progress” WTF??

I feel like #Android had this solved like many years ago.

@kev I experience the same issue on Android with Samsung and why I've disabled this annoying feature for years. Now granted I've never used anything newer than Android 12.

I've been using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine for a while now. Lately, DDG seems to "correct" my searches. A LOT. I don't know if it's just me or if it's a universal thing, but when I type in a search sometimes not only the results aren't what I was looking for, but I see the query itself has been changed to something I didn't actually search for. It's INCREDIBLY frustrating. I just might have to find a new search engine if this keeps up.

@mike Really? Can you give an example as I would like to try this. I've yet to experience this.

My search engine skills are failing me tonight. Does anybody know of a tool that will convert an HTML document into markdown? Linux obviously and CLI would be nice. I want to use it for a script.

@mike I use Pandoc to do this quite frequently. If you are able to share the website maybe I could figure out why this is happening.

My wife and I recently bought an "Emma Mattress". It one of those fancy pants memory foam mattresses. It hasn't been delivered yet, but I'm very excited about it. I think that officially makes me old, right?

Would you believe I found a working payphone at the City Market gas station in Granby, Colorado? Yes, friends, this one has dial tone, no broken buttons, and it rings!

This is not far from the Granby Ranch ski area.

The number is (970) 887-9907.

    @grueproof I never once had my settings changed due to upgrades. I wonder what causes this.

    @bbbhltz I wonder is this because Windows is being used? @grueproof

    Me: Go and tidy your room please. I only want to see a single Hot Wheels loop out in there.

    1 hour later…

    Youngest: Dad, I’ve tidied my room and there’s only one Hot Wheels loop in there now. Come and look…

    Me: THAT’S MASSIVE!

    Him: Yeah (looking confused), but it’s only one loop.

    Me: 🤦‍♂️

    It never ceases to amaze me when I go to the stable and find fresh eggs in there. I don’t know why, I just think it’s incredibly cool that these little animals can produce an egg, every day.

    Also found 2 had been snuck into the pack of bedding straw. 🥚🐓🥚🐓

    @kev They are wonderful and I have had thoughts of possible having some in the future if I'm able. I love eating eggs.

    Is there any text-based, ideally distributed monitoring software out there? I want a TUI that shows me (e.g. with green/red highlights) the reachability of hosts (simple ping checks) while I'm doing network maintenance. Like a really simple, curses based nagios? It would probably look like a bloomberg terminal.. (I know this wouldn't be too hard to implement.. but I can't really believe it's not already out there...) #linux #TUI #monitoring #network #networking #sysadmin #software #curses

    @jlsksr I know of several network or system command line monitors. Unfortunately I'm not aware of one similar for event monitoring for servers that is a CLI. I would love to see one myself.

    Can anyone tell me if #clipstudiopaint is compatible with Linux? And if so: how tge performance is?

    Similar question for the Huion Kamvas devices.

    Experiences anyone?

    @Uddelhexe It appears it is possible according to a few sources, but unofficially.

    Unfortunately the Clip Snap Paint hasn't been updated for 2 years though.

    Not what you wanted, but as an alternative Krita (https://krita.org) might fit.
