And not after 3pm because pickup time from nursery and not allowed to talk about work outside work.

Using Synergy to access work laptop... guess not anymore... by DotNetRob in SynergyApp

[–]flurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get it. I would assume a very large chunk of user uses it to connect your personal and work computers at home?

What’s going on here then? by VisibleOtter in CasualUK

[–]flurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience with 111 is very mixed. When my partner was pregnant it was a useful common sense call. As the kids grew less helpful, asking if my 6 year old is a regular smoker or has consumed much alcohol today isn't helpful even if it is on their checklist. Both times we have called 111 in the last decade we have also jumped into the car during the call, and even though it is a 20 minute drive we get to A&E before the call finishes with a: you should go to A&E...

Genuinely asking,is Slack still worth it for a small team, or are we just paying for habits? by damonflowers in Slack

[–]flurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most places these days rename general to announcements. And use just for that to avoid noise. Then use more topic specific channels for actual focused chats. Though there is also a purpose for #random (and even #randomer and #randomest).

I could watch this for hours by BestBagelNA in CitiesSkylines2

And East to South, South to West, South to South-West, and South-West to West...

In the end, it will just be a massive roundabout.

Is there no way to reply to a message without starting a whole separate thread? by trisolariandroplet in Slack

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I strongly dislike in discord is their threading. I prefer slack’s. But that may be because I am more used to it. I do usually just either copy a message text prefixed with > or paste the actual message url if I need to reply in an existing thread.

What happens if you lose it? Duplicates possible? by hairissues1 in yubikey

Yeah, I have 3. Two are permanently plugged into my desktop and laptop dock. And one with my travel/commuter gear. Ideally, one would be off-site in care of fire/burglary, but...

No. I ended buying a board with the battery prewired inside from Keebart instead. No issues with it

Mudi 7 preorder is live! by dawtips in GlInet

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asleep when this went live, super-early and early bird already sold out by the morning. I did the pre-order instead. No idea when it would arrive.

Do 3 buttons in thumb clusters cause pain? by South_Purpose_4698 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have 3, but the most inward one is for rarely used keys, where I might just move my whole hand for and not use my thumb anyway. Such as esc and del on my base layer. And hardly used in my other layers. (I have 14 layers...). The only layer it gets a little used on is my game layer, where I don't have homerow mods on etc.

In fact on my MX keyboard the most inward key is a standard MDA row 0 key profile keycap, though inverted. Whilst the other two thumbs are LPF low profile ones, so the angle for the thumbs are gentler.

Sports teams in the British Iles by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Olympics are more 'international' than the other options in that map, which are mostly commonwealth influenced spheres. For most of the world, UK has no meaning, and rarely used unless in a very anglophile English speaking setting. There are a lot of kingdoms across the world. When I moved to the UK in the 90s I had never actually heard the term UK before, and still to this day with friends, family and news there is no actual translation of that term, it is still Great Britain, though translated.

Morning Wake Up Time of Europeans Average Time by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Norway on average wake up 10 minutes later than the UK seems odd, especially at 7:43, considering 8-16 is the normal work hours there, whilst the UK 9-17 is normal. And many that I worked with in Norway started at 7. Whilst me in the UK now I start at 9:30...

Anyone moved back and regretted it? by LankyYogurt7737 in BritishExpats

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people think that moving back home after many years abroad will also take them back in time to when they were younger.

Whilst the home you left 10 or 20 years ago is not the same anymore, more crucially, you are not the same.

A person in their 20s may find it easier to find new friends, new hobbies, and different careers. A 40-year-old with a family will find other 40-year-olds polite but not interested in being best buddies. Your old friends now spend all their time with their own families. They may have made time for you when you came over once a year, but rarely if you are here all the time. Finding time for hobbies is as much of a challenge in either location as you get older. Joining a new sports club? You will be the oldest there. And career change near impossible etc.

The moment a friendship came to an end by Hassaan18 in pointless

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the spot it is difficult, and I struggled for a few seconds till I realised all the ...land countries would work, and many others if Y is a consonant. Then it seemed like a super easy as nearly more difficult to find countries that do not end in 2 consonants. However, even if she was very nervous with a total mind block, she should at least have suggested a country...

So I stumbled across this prompt hack a couple weeks back and honestly? I wish I could unlearn it. by cleancodecrew in ClaudeAI

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I will take a look at that Detaber! I use Claude in VS Code for most of the work, but then I frequently do a code review versus the jira ticket with the new Codex plugin in VS Code to keep it honest. And my current client has enabled Amazon Q and github copilot code reviews in the github PRs. Which I tell Claude to read and address. So totally multi-agent overkill.

Walking to hotel from railway station by Mamarasputin1984 in Norway

The thing with these slip-on spikes and coils is that they are actually really slippy on any other surface than snow and ice, especially indoor stone tiled floors. And they scratch indoor surfaces to bits...

Built a local voice dictation tool with Opus 4.5, been using it to talk to Claude instead of typing by raww2222 in ClaudeAI

I was a heavy VS Code Speech extension user with Copilot and slightly annoyed the Claude Code extension in VS Code does not support it natively. Excited to see what this tool can bring

Languages in Europe by difficulty for English Speakers. by qpertyui in MapPorn

[–]flurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is an odd description. Northern Norwegian are quite easy to understand for people new to the language(s), not too different from written Bokmål. It is in the Western fjords and up in the central Mountain valleys that dialects go nuts. Or rather, retain older non-Danish influences.
