If you can test it on a feature branch then at least you can squash or tidy the commits after you’ve got them working. If you can only test by committing to main though, curse whoever designed that.

Being a software developer but your work laptop is a Windows machine?

Aussie, come on man the clue was the OP!

What are your combos of choice? I remember having a few good ones committed to memory at the time.

As nobody has posted it yet, this vibe is often referred to as [email protected]

I enjoyed it solo, though it did become impossibly hard at one point. I don’t know if you need to have friends to help or if I just needed to be better at the game!

They like keeping busy! Seriously though you’re presumably already a pretty active person if you can one day just decide to go for a hike to the other side of the world.

This was going to be my recommendation. Probably not what OP wants, but definitely what they asked for!

The BBC have preempted your joke

It might be tempting to reach for a conspiracy theory or two, not least because it’s hard to hear the name “Skynet” without thinking of the malevolent, self-aware artificial intelligence (AI) system in The Terminator movie franchise.

But there’s no connection other than the name and, in any case, real life is always more prosaic.

Looks more like a quick Photoshop job with that healy clone brush tool

Either they federate and all their users are exposed to the rest of the fediverse, or they don’t and they may as well be a separate thing

Case closed!

I’m no expert in Chinese pronunciation, but if you and your colleagues all had rhyming names and could arrange them in a way that sounded like the Trumpton theme, wouldn’t you?

What’s so special about that square one in the middle of nowhere (Colorado?) surrounded by zeroes?

Fair!

Where’s the science?

Yeah that’s the exact issue I fixed yesterday: the Super (Windows) key is configured to open the whisper (start) menu and this overrides any of the other xfce keyboard shortcuts like moving windows around.

The fix was to go into Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts and change the one that’s set by default to open the whisper menu (xfce4-popup-whiskermenu) to something else. I found some bug reports saying that the problem is that xfce doesn’t expect shortcuts that are “modifier only” (as in only the Super key), and once I changed that one then the shortcuts to move windows around suddenly started working.

No idea why distros ship with this configuration already broken, but hopefully this helps!

Which keyboard shortcuts do you mean specifically? I think I fixed this exact issue earlier today!
