@danlockton I reckon with Steve Ballmer there would have been the Microsoft Developers Developers developers.

TIL you can make Less (the pager program) behave a bit more like programs that use GNU Readline do by creating a `~/.config/lesskey` file with these contents:

#line-edit
^A home
^E end
^F right
^B left
^P up
^N down
^D delete
^W word-backspace
\ed word-delete
\ef word-right

TIL you can get dates and times formatted nicely in Firefox's Library window (Control+Shift+O) by setting intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short to "yyyy-MM-dd", intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short to "HH:mm", and intl.date_time.pattern_override.connector_short to "{1} {0}" in about:config or user.js.

Setting the LC_TIME environment variable to en_DK.UTF-8 does not work.

@cdevroe My name is actually a link to the index page, but I take your point that that's too subtle :)

My Arch Linux installation is ten years old today: https://meribold.org/2022/08/16/same-arch-linux-installation-for-a-decade/. It's held up pretty well :)

TIL you can type "-i" while in `less` to toggle whether searches are case sensitive. I literally mean typing "-i" into `less`, not passing a command-line option.

@libreleah Also try it with some of the list-related pages like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Lists.

Python, I love you, but we have to talk: "pyproject.toml replaces http://setup.py, requirements.txt, setup.cfg, http://MANIFEST.in and the newly added Pipfile."

What the fuck, Python? We barely just migrated to Pipfile, now there's another standard?

Do you guys realize you can follow any ActivityPub-using software here? For example, you can directly follow Blender's PeerTube account: @blender

Imagine posting something on your blog and having people able to follow it on Mastodon directly, and all replies to the toot showing up as comments. Fantastic.
