Hey, what is the "detach terminal" option in the menu when you right-click a tab in gnome-terminal supposed to do?

This is what it did in my testing

in reply to mcc

it should move a tab into its own window, because dragging the tab on the desktop kind of broke the X11-specific code that implemented that; but apparently it just crashes on Ubuntu (seems to be working on Fedora, so I think this is an Ubuntu-specific issue)

@ebassi It worked the second time actually but I wanted to know what kind of snake it was before I poked it again

Hearing that white Christian guy rapping reminds me of this Christian pop song that came out in 1992 when I was about 12: youtube.com/watch?v=aYMYsSEz3k… featuring a then-current Christian rap group named DC Talk. The best parts are the beginning and the ending.

I have raised far more money from VCs than most founders ever get to, and I can say definitively: the vast majority of businesses shouldn’t take VC money. It’s often not a fit for innovation, for caring for workers, for having a sustainable business. And the VCs who shape the market are largely irresponsible or destructive. VC should be a tiny fraction of how businesses start — certainly not the default,

any tips on email proxies? I'd love to have a unique email address for every application I use, but having a full emailaddress per application is a lot to manage, even though that might be possible having my own domain. I'd love a blog post about this topic in the future 🥰

Hmm. Just been shopping and when I got home my eagle eyes thought there seemed to be a discrepancy between the old and the new orange juice cartons. Careful scrutiny of the packaging reveals that, yes, yes there is. #Tropicana now selling you 50ml less in a carton than just a week or so ago #Shrinkflation




There are parts in the #Cricut Maker 3 that cannot be accessed without breaking plastic (red box) - like these screws (blue arrow) on the lid.

The iFixit article is not correct because it’s glued - it cannot just gently be pried off.

I am never purchasing a Cricut again. This is extremely anti-repair. #RightToRepair #enshittification

Historická zajímavost, která se váže k tomuto dni.

Dne 8.8. 1969 policie zastavila na 15 minut v londýnské Abbey Road dopravu, aby mohl Ian Macmillan nafotit Beatles na přechodu pro chodce kvůli návrhu obalu jejich desky.

Existuje šest fotek a slavná je ta pátá. Ta, kde všichni shodně došlápli.

Literally the *only* story I'm going to share about the goddamn Olympics:

U.S. Rugby player Ariana Ramsey found out athletes get free healthcare in the Olympic Village and immediately booked a bunch of appointments for routine services many Americans living under our dystopian private healthcare regime simply can't afford:

si.com/olympics/american-athle…

"Like, what?” she said in a post on TikTok describing her new discovery: The Olympic Village offers free healthcare.

The United States, of course, does not. So in the days following her victory, Ramsey made appointments with the Village gynecologist, dentist and ophthalmologist. According to the Paris 2024 organizing committee, the Village also offers cardiology, orthopedics, physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry and, of course, sports medicine—all at no cost to the athletes. (Paralympic athletes will also have access to dermatology.)"

The best part of the story is that Ramsey not only convinced a bunch of other U.S. Athletes to take advantage of the program, but after realizing how beneficial having access to free healthcare is, she's decided to become an advocate for Universal Healthcare in America.

On a personal level and as someone who has spent time in multiple countries that offer free healthcare to their citizens, I honestly cannot stress how much it improves not only health outcomes, but also quality of life for labor class people; from increasing your lifespan, to freeing workers from dependence on bad employers just to keep their health insurance, this is one social policy that has ripples throughout almost every aspect of the lives of everyday people. And it says a LOT about the priorities of the American ruling class that they'd do almost anything to keep you from having access to universal healthcare.

@hub
1) No. Olympics care is not supported by tax payers (it could anyway)
2) Free medical care is the rule in France. A public insurance pays part of it, optional insurance pays the other part, 3) The optional insurance is free for poor people. People in special situations get charity services (by state), for example undeclared migrants.
4) Still not perfect.
