You can also left click the leftmost bar, the one labelled with C0, C1, C2, etc., hold the mouse button and move the mouse cursor left and right AFAIR — no need to touch the keyboard.
Or was it up and down? 🤔 In any case, you can do it with just the pointing device.

And this alone made me never consider this cloud shit.
In part it was due to working for organizations for which relying on offsite infrastructure wasn't acceptable — but I would never suggest it myself either, maybe as a backup or for occasional spikes in workload, not more than that
@newt @amiloradovsky
Everyone expects some very competent people overseeing all this cloud infrastructure, and that it would be build on some rock-solid technology — but in reality it's the same engineers as everywhere else and the same throwaway nodes running same Linux systems.
When Google introduced its App Engine and they were already accepting payments for it, despite it still being in beta: both formally and de-facto, judging by its reliability — it went unresponsive for days.

One pay phone on a distant sparsely populated street got it particularly bad — they were made of steel or other strong metal, but as I got a little help from my friends, there was literally nothing there to repair — they have just replaced it in a few months. And it only had four coins inside — definitely not the main motivation 😅
@lain @kaia
It's embarrassing, but I used to do it a lot when CCTV cams weren't even remotely that common: vending machines, street pay phones, even those Soviet code locks used to unlock entrances of houses. I didn't even do it for the money — I was well aware of the tricks you could use to cheat them, but I was still interested in how they work. They were demonstrating coin-operated machines at the Polytechnic Museum, but my parents never took me there 😩
@kaia
The search for oneself. Pursuing this quest is always rewarding 😆
@StefanThinks
The hat or the linux distribution? Nevermind — both would probably work, just to a different degree with different kind of women 😅
@japananon
Likewise here, never was a fan of spending time in prison 😅
Luckily, theft (and by extension of it, copyright infringement and piracy) is often even encouraged here — half the Internet doesn't work if I use it directly, but at least I can do toorrenting right from my home IP-address.

Georgia only just passed its Russian law, and the government has already introduced legislation targeting LGBTQ+ people. This is by no means accidental.
Like it or not, we have become a geopolitical signal. We often symbolise the 'degenerate' West – as well as opposition to it. In the world of 2024, queer folk are not seen as people, we are tools. We are international scapegoats.
And when they come for us, they're coming for democracy itself. Our freedom is everyone's freedom.

Because Internet of Creatures turned out to be an utter failure 🤭

There is a new Horo show? Da-a-amn! 😱

I've never given it a thought until today — Nvidia is indeed a fabless company! OMFG 😱
@newt
Did your contribution to said discussion include "Your piece of shit protocol slash windowing system doesn't even allow precise positioning of windows"? 😏
@santiago
A device with eink-like display sounds perfect for the job, if the display would be responsive enough to be usable with regular GUIs we have today, I'm definitely getting myself one.
@santiago
Even things that would probably have to do in one way or the other if commercial or just more general public interest for it arises, but for people like me — who prefer mostly text content and who like to keep the content and the representation of it separate and have to use extensions, CSS hacks and reader mode to bring the web closer to it, Gemini is perfect!
@santiago
I'm browsing Gemini and hosting my capsule on machines that are way over a decade old! In fact, web is one of the few things making these machines obsolete, probably the primary one. If you cross the web out — there are still lots of uses for old computers.
And yes, we all know the limitations of Gemini, there are things that you would never be able to do with it.
With its slowly growing content I see an opportunity for #GeminiProtocol to become a standard to keep using old machines that otherwise would become e-waste.
Most of the web is painful to unusable today if you have a PC that’s one decade old or more. Yet the majority of actually useful information is still text with a few included documents or images. Gemini will always be useable on E-readers when we know the web content may sometimes be readable but mostly not.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
