@daringfireball@mastodon.social I'm not sure this has legs. Did your research reveal that this "procurement document" was for anticipated actions, not actual funding appropriations? Or did it reveal that the procurement document was from December, before Trump took office?

(I am definitely not a Trump supporter, but giving this non-story another leg to continue upon is not helping anything.)

@pitrh@mastodon.social @sid77@mastodon.social MacOS isn't just "Unix-y", or even just Unix. It is an actual certified UNIX.

@ckure@infosec.exchange @mwl Am I wrong in drawing the line that vi is the visual counterpart to ed? If so, the answer is always vi.
(And emacs is something else entirely unto itself.)

@mwl@io.mwl.io @robert Is there a VPS you prefer for your own needs, such as if I were to #RMOMS?

@mwl@io.mwl.io @curtosis I have a couple instances on Vultr (including my mail and backup MX), but why do you dislike them? And which would you recommend in its place.

(I have no real attachment to them, and would happily migrate if there is someone better recommended.)

@daringfireball@mastodon.social To everyone poo-pooing this "revelation": do you have an LG TV and have you seen an ad? I have several LG TVs (some internet connected), and none have displayed any ads. Is your outrage justified, or just a byproduct of a quick response without the genuine facts?!

@arstechnica@mastodon.social What happened to the article? (Or am I alone in the links all leading to the Tech Policy category page?)

@mabelinr@mastodon.social @MonaApp@mastodon.social Go to System Settings > Keyboard > Text Input > Edit and disable “Use smart quotes and dashes”. (This is one of the first things I change on any new macOS install.)

@AlexanderMars@mastodon.social Well, if you ever wish to use Anova's app, you have a week to create an account and avoid the subscription fee. (Also, while their app is utter crap, there are a few recipes in it that are quite good; J. Kenji López-Alt of The Food Lab/Serious Eats did a collaboration with them several years ago.) Also, Anova's products tend to hit the sweet-spot of price, precision/accuracy, and performance.

@AlexanderMars@mastodon.social It's so you can be lazy and set the temperature from your phone. Or pick a recipe, and it will set the temp/time as specified.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social While this is a crappy move, the impact is being blown out of proportion. The devices are still fully functional, unlike those from other brands that require an app for any functionality.

@fosskers@emacs.ch Thinking back on it, in Linux I used eo.UTF-8.

@fosskers@emacs.ch To be honest, it's been over a decade, so I don't exactly remember. It may have been eo_XX-UTF8, but that's just a guess.

@fosskers@emacs.ch I used to, but so few applications were properly localized/internationalized. And trying to mix parts of a locale (esp. currency and number formatting), and lack of cohesion across operating systems, makes EO a no-go until the OS suppliers "do the right thing".
