Mick Schumacher is joining WEC with Alpine's LMDh entry. This is great news. Endurance gives drivers things no other series does. Mick'll love it I'm sure.

Tried messing around with tap sensitivity within KDE's config, but little helped

Before this, simply moving the mouse across the display would periodically grab a window, or tabs would move/open, or video playback would pause.

Found an interesting quirk on wherein KDE's touchpad configuration was not disabling one-tap dragging, which was absolutely driving me nuts, until I discovered it needs to be disabled in synclient.

If you think tyre differences are bad, in it's even worse - they are stuck with what they choose, as changing them is possible but obviously not practical in a race. In the case of Jorge Martin, his championship challenge evaporated in Qatar.

Yow, I just got successfully phished on the Facebook Android app. I clicked on "Your friend X tagged in a post" and this thing managed to put a browser window over the top of the FB app so it looked like I was still in the app, totally consistent style, and asked for a Facebook login, which I haven't done for years so I thought made sense. I fell for it, and I bet most people wouldn't have noticed it was sketchy, which I fortunately did; password hastily changed….

My (then) 6yr old would borrow my laptop to "...play Supertux and Minecraft" and he goes into firefox, uses the webcam to take his picture and changes my username. I love it so much I just left it.

there's a lot of mirth about Sainz hitting the manhole cover, but when you consider that his backside is sitting on what is essentially the floor of the car (in some cases the seat is cutout at this point), and there's a high density battery pack on the same plane, that could have been an extremely serious accident.

Not a headline or story I would ever expect. Qui custodiat and all that..

Had a look at Debian 12. Doesn't give a lot away to the 'just works' distros now. Very up to date for a Debian desktop effort. You could be happy with this over Ubuntu or Mint. Gnome 3 isn't altered much, which is good because if Gnome works for you stock is usually best.

On This Day In History

Today in 1974, 49 years ago: in Birmingham (England) two pubs explode; 21 people die. Six young men are falsely accused (Hugh Callaghan, Patrick Hill, Gerard Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, William Power and John Walker), which the media dubbed the Birmingham Six. After an infamous case of judicial assembly, on August 15, 1975 they were sentenced to life imprisonment. Until 16 years later (on March 14, 1991) the British justice will recognize their innocence and release them.

Hey, maybe the good #Google folks at web.dev can write an article about how the #Firefox slow-down trick on YouTube works so other sites can implement it too.

cars got *big* and heavy as the years have rolled by. They were 600KG in the 90s; around 800 now.
