My biggest bugbear relating to this is the lack of a short text alternative for QR codes, especially with long URLs.
If the URL is too long to fit into a QR code, then it's also too long for me to type in manually!
I find it handy for writing down a URL on paper

I think it's interesting that the phrase "ARM-free" roadmap is being used. I had no idea there had been so much market penetration of RISC-V already
Someone should create a religion that revolves around creating, updating and carrying out task lists
When I think of dotfile management, I think it means handling standalone config files that are a few KB, intended to be user-editable, and are probably not changed by the running program itself.
I don't think the Firefox config files meet those criteria. I don't know, because I just leave them alone. I think a better tool for managing Firefox config would be to sync your profile, either through their servers or by self-hosting a sync server
I'm really grateful for the introduction to deceptive patterns here.
I was not aware of it, and I think it's important to have language that can describe specifically how tech companies are trying to coerce people.

There's a 1920 x 1200 non-touch display option, which will surely get you better battery life than OLED. But what's most interesting about it is the 1-120 Hz variable refresh rate, which Dell says is a first to for this model. That extremely low refresh should help save power when static images or text is on the screen.
Ah yeah, I should have read the rest of the article. I didn't know about that feature though, that's cool
1 Hz display option: like an e-Ink display?
(it says 120Hz in the article)
I came across one or two classical covers of rock songs over the years that stuck in my head.
Finding another one just now, I decided to hunt down a few more, and this is the list I came up with:
King Crimson - Court of the Crimson King - Mitteleuropa Orchestra
Tool - Forty-Six & 2 - Vitamin String Quartet
Metallica - One - Viola da gamba solo
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water - Japanese traditional instruments with orchestral backing
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - London Philharmonic Orchestra
Led Zepellin - Kashmir - Yamato String Quartet
... and another version by London Philharmonic Orchestra
ITT: share your favourite rock covers that use classical or traditional instruments!

That's a very good idea.
Beside the number of permutations it gives, another benefit of using three words is they could form the border of the QR code, with the fourth side being the domain name
