No we can't. I hate football (soccer for you USians) with a passion greater than those that love it, and I can't avoid it, even though I desperately try.
Interestingly, the music I prefer to listen to is more rocky - Punk/Grunge/Ska/Folk/Dub.
I acquired my love of psytrance in the early noughties when I used to do henna art at festivals in the UK. We got friendly with a couple who ran a psytrance CD stall, and were very often pitched right next door, so I spent many a weekend doing henna art with their music blasting out of their PA as a backing track. One CD that was popular at the time was Virtual Memory by Alchemy, but I seldom knew who I was listening to - it never seemed to matter. Worked well for getting into "the zone" though, and it's not distracting because I don't find myself trying to listen to the (usually non-existent) lyrics.
Interested to know if this is for international travel, or just within your country's borders? I would be concerned with this going through airport security, whether in carry-on or checked luggage - x-rays can damage electronics, and the potentially suspicious appearance of electronics to the non-technical could cause problems.
Monitor your logs with a network monitoring tool like Nagios, Icinga, etc. You can set filters for alerts you are genuinely interested in, and email the alerts to your ticketing system or sysads.
TBH the only time I've ever got involved with autoscroll was when a user accidentally clicked the wheel, and got "stuck in a funny mode" and the mouse was no longer working. I'm not sure how many regular users know it even exists - there are a lot who still don't even use the scroll-wheel at all.
In Linux, the scroll-wheel works as I expect it to anyway, so I've never wanted to change it.
It's because X-Window, the original Unix (and thus Linux) desktop system, supported 3 button mice WAY before Windoze did. It used it for the clipboard paste operation; you highlight some text in one window, and it's immediately put on the clipboard; then when you middle-click, it's pasted into whichever window is under the mouse pointer. Most old hand Linux and Unix users like this behaviour.
It's been optional, and configurable for a long time. It's mainly controlled by the receiving window's configuration, but you can set it globally to do just about anything supported by your version of X-Window, including to scrolling. It's been like this since about the late 1990's, but it's just not the default behaviour, probably because for much of that time, most Linux users preferred the X-Window behaviour.
Could be QOS or packet shaping going on at your ISP, or just throttling or congestion. Speed tests only really test for typical traffic patterns, so will give you a warped view: it certainly disagrees with your observed measurements. There are lots of factors that can affect how quickly traffic passes between two hosts on the internet, but domestic broadband is generally the worst of all worlds - you usually share bandwidth with other subscribers, and although the throughput can be quite good, the latency and error rate can be quite bad, and you can get fragmentation as frame sizes can differ between network segments, causing buffering especially when congestion is occurring. Your ISP might also have deprioritised your type of traffic, or they might be dropping packets, which causes retries, and thus slows your connection down.
Came here to say exactly this. Played it for years and it keeps getting better and better. It's based on a game called Pixel Dungeon, which the original developer open sourced when they got bored with it. There are several other forks of PD, and I've also played most of them too, and SPD is definitely the best, and possibly the only one still in development.
Yep can confirm. I was a computer technician in a UK university throughout the 1990's, and we had 8 labs with PCs and Macs, and at the very beginning, BBC Micros, Atari STs, and even Sun SparcStations. Not sure I miss it - certainly not the hassles with configuring interrupts on expansion boards, getting CD-ROMs working on "older" PCs, juggling conflicting DOS config.sys and autoexec.bat configs, or self-combusting mice. I did enjoy it, though - being right there as the World Wide Web was born, and each new year brought faster CPUs, better colour graphics, and progressively worse versions of Windows...
Digital ads do not promote things I'm interested in buying. I do not see ads very often at all - I haven't had a TV for 20+ years, I don't go to cinemas, so I don't even see those kinds of ads. Occasional ads on YT pop up, and I'll skip them; if they are unskippable or too frequent, I'll abandon the vid. I'm not on any commercial "social media", so I don't see ads on them either. I've just never liked social media - Lemmy and Mastodon are all I use these days.
Occasionally, very, very occasionally, I'll see a meatspace ad that I pay attention to: there's a local alternative music collective that wheatpaste ads around in a nearby town. I actually WANT to know about these events, and I will actually go to them, and I actually sought them out in the first place. I also see ads at my local community centre, for local events. Same kind of thing.
You're quite right, Ozone is actually O3, I got that wrong. I should have looked it up, but I didn't, hence the error. I'm so sorry I mislead you - can you forgive me? Ozone is actually very interesting - did you know there is a layer of the upper atmosphere known as The Ozone Layer, and that it has a hole in it? Also, Ozone is sometimes produced by chemical reactions and electrical arcs - it has a distinctive, Ozoney smell. As you also made mistakes, I think we are now even - have you ever considered taking up a career as a Large Language Model?
Not going to happen. :-D
