@tomjennings I haven't in a while, but Bluetooth file transfer used to work fine in the early smartphone days (before iPhone and Android), and often still does (Android).

MacOS broke their support since time ago, did iOS also?

truly so much going on there that I'm glad we've got 70 minutes next week #doctorwho

@unixtippse You're thinking about the Apt sources.list files? Yeah, considering the configuration files are in a different format, it is a bit weird.

But the format is simple enough, and should be possible to parse with an email parser, and is used a lot in the dpkg ecosystem, so it makes some sense standardizing on it.

Prøver igjen med et normalt dokumentsøk: "lønnsoppgjør 2025".

Får bare powerpoints, de fleste har bare teksten "2025" i seg, ingenting om lønn.

Prøver nok en gang: "lønnsoppgjøret"

Bingo.

"Resultatet fra lønnsoppgjøret i Posten Bring AS er klart" som første treff, en artikkel fra i år.

Dette dokumentet som ikke skal finnes.

Spør igjen "agenten" bare for å se hva som skjer: "Lønnsoppgjør 2025"

Og NÅ får jeg alle tall fra i år.

Fullstendig ubrukelig.

@unixtippse I think the format is as old as #dpkg itself, so circa 1994.

So, yes, it predates XML (1996), JSON (2000) and YAML (2001), but probably not Windows INI.

@llamasoft_ox Does it play music as you wait for the food to thaw?

@cstross I can't recommend LibreOffice enough! It's intuitive, reliable, feature-rich and stable. Plus you can import or export in pretty much any document format in existence.

I have had compatibility issues in the past - a job application form which didn't work in LibreOffice because all the input fields were broken, for some inscrutable reason - but it's a rare enough occurrence to not be worth worrying about.

@k I am self-taught at touch-typing. We did have typewriter lessons (!) in school (this was around 1991), and the teacher was annoyed at me because I didn't use the right fingers, but I still typed faster than she did...

The desperate Colonial regime currently engage in genocide, having extra cheers added for their murder-apologia song.
Liars, murderers, fascists.....and they want us to accept them and call them masters. They want to control our Reality, our minds, our thoughts, so they don't feel the judgment of our eyes for what they have done.

Cowardly gaslighting the European continent, forcing their twisted view of Humanity into our lives....

@nixCraft Everything of value has been asked 🙂

SO is still a treasure trove of well-curated content to find answers to problems, though. But you have to be careful to look at the dates (both to avoid old content, and to avoid AI slop).

@oatmeal @dbattistella It is weird. But of course someone voting 20 times for political reasons will always trump my five votes for musical merit (to five different songs).

@georgetakei But should they be allowed to change to a name that is not on their birth...corporate certificate?

@oatmeal @dbattistella There's absolutely no reason whatsoever (except for #Eurovision greed) to allow more than a single vote per identifiable entity. And that identifier needs to be better than "credit card" or "phone number".

@tiikerikani 5 NOK (~ 0.5€) here in Norway

@s1m0n4 The article was about last year's contest, which had similarly strong public votes for Israel.

El model d'Eurovisió és qui paga guanya.

I paga Israel. I paga molt.

I no ho amaguen.

El govern de Netanyahu explica públicament que dediquen enormes recursos a canviar els resultats.

Com a règim colonial en Orient Mitjà en ple genocidi necessiten invertir massivament en propaganda dirigida als europeus.

Tot i així és l'estat més impopular del planeta.

@crazydutchy When I went to the app, all I needed was to confirm my country and then enter a credit card number to vote 20 times. I guess with multiple cards, I could spoof whatever number of votes I wanted?

I ended up SMS voting instead. But you only need to get a number of pre-paids to do that.

I cannot understand how #France got no points whatsoever from televotes. Something is off.
