This is ingenious! More companies—especially web hosting companies—should offer this feature.

I wonder if there is a #WordPress plugin for this‽ It would be great if #WriteFreely & #Ghost offered this feature as well.

did you install Xcode 26 beta?
Coincidence or not, mine started kernel panicking the day after I did. After 2 years of running perfectly fine.
I wanted to build and try the Apple containers stuff.

There is a non-archlinux-affiliated archlinuxarm distro already.
Maybe you can adopt them?
@gnome I just noticed the disability pride flag in the profile picture, I didn't expect it but I love it! Especially as I know it's important for many members of our community, like myself.
Despite the accessibility issues of our project and despite misinformed critics (I have no issue with informed critics), I know we are actively working on better accessibility, and that it's particularly implemented by disabled members of the GNOME community.

There's some slightly confusing messaging on Freedom Scientific's convention specials page.
vispero.com/events/acb-2025/
It states:
" 10% off all Home Annual Licenses and Home Time-Based SMA s"
For kicks, I called FS to see if there was a chance that I could renew my license a day earlier before the discounts kick in. The salesperson I spoke withh was very nice but said that this was for new license purchasers. I thought I missed this but their Web site clearly does not indicate this and I really believe that it should if this is the case.
He said that I could purchase a new license but this would change my serial number. Many JAWS users wouldn't care if their serial number changed if it meant getting a license at a discount. However, I have lots of third party software from Hartgen Consultancy that is tied to my current serial number. I know I could ask Hartgen Consultancy if they could substitute my old serial number with the new one but I might have to do the same thing again in a year if FS only offers discounts for new license purchases.
I told the salesperson, who again was extremely nice and very professional, that I wasn't going to quibble over a 10% discount but I suggested that they change the messaging on their Web site to reflect this to avoid calls from upset users who will be unable to renew their home annual license at the discounted price. I told him that I personally felt that they should honor it based on their Web site's messaging but that I wasn't willing to get into a fight over around a $10.00 discount. Other users will, however, and FS really needs to look at this.
The bottom line is that either their Convention Specials Web page should indicate that this discount is for new purchases of a Home Annual license or they should allow current Home Annual license holders to renew with the discounted price if they won't change the messaging on the Web page.

Does anyone happen to know what values I'd put in an `upgrade` HTTP response header when sending an HTTP 426 to tell a client that it needs to upgrade to TLS 1.2 or 1.3?
The HTTP spec says "The server *MUST* send an Upgrade header"
httpwg.org/specs/rfc9110.html#…
...but I can't find any examples. The `upgrade` spec says the format of the value is `protocol-name ["/" protocol-version]` - so presumably e.g. `TLS/1.3`?

I asked Google for the quote about cheese from a Christmas Carol.
"What is the matter?" said Scrooge, with his usual voice. "Nothing particular," said Scrooge. "Something, I think?" the ghost insisted. "No," said Scrooge, "No. I should like to be able to say a word or two about a crumb of cheese, many years ago."

TIL about Nagashi Somen
"... As temperatures increase across Japan, residents and tourists in the western region of Okayama are embracing a delightful and traditional way to cool down, Nagashi Somen, a treasured summer ritual in Japan.
In the lovely Yamanori Valley of Maniwa City, a restaurant with over 40 years of history has reopened for the season, offering guests the chance to enjoy Nagashi Somen.
These thin wheat noodles flow down a bamboo conduit filled with icy spring water. Diners use chopsticks to catch the noodles as they pass by, dip them in a savoury broth or a thin soup, and gulp them down in true Japanese fashion."

How would you solve PIN entry on touchscreens, especially in a world where 3.5mm headphones are no longer ubiquitous?
This really puzzles me, and I feel like I have no good solution here.

in reply to miki • • •In the UK, contactless payments have significantly overtaken Chip and PIN for in-store transactions. Contactless payments accounted for 76% of debit card transactions and 63% of credit card transactions last year, for example, reducing the necessity for PIN in many instances.

in reply to Sean Randall • • •@cachondo Don't you guys require PIN above certain amounts?
The EU does, at least if you;'re not using ApplePay.

in reply to miki • • •miki
in reply to Sean Randall • • •@cachondo At least they fixed GooglePay to be exempt too. It used to require PIN, just like normal cards.
I had a standing recommendation never to buy Android if you wanted to do cashless payments because of this.
