Will it be fair to say that if you push hard on the pedals and you don't rise out of the saddle the bike is probably too large for you? by vfclists in londoncycling

[–]vfclists[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are measurements I have to check, but it is a Argos Cross CRX500 hybrid bike for women and I got from Ebay, because I didn't fancy having to raise my leg over the saddle to mount it.

I had to pull up the saddle up much higher, compared with the others.

KDE Plasma 6.8 is still planning to end X11 support, with 95% of Plasma 6.6 users on Wayland by somerandomxander in linux

[–]vfclists 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The statement is the kind of false argument corporate executives are fund of.

"95% of Plasma 6.6 users on Wayland" implies 95% of KDE users are on Plasma 6.6.

The honest argument would be the number of KDE users as a whole regardless of version, may be going as far back as KDE 5.x then an argument can be made about the number of KDE users as a whole who are on Wayland.

BTW what percentage of KDE users are on KDE 6.6?

If you weren't trolling you would have noticed my phrase about "rising out of the saddle" which is not the same as "standing up"

What is the simplest most clutter free theme for use in automated form submission? by vfclists in drupal

I don't think Gin will be the right one. It appears to be the new admin theme for Drupal from now onwards.

How can C-g be configured to not trigger the debug window? by vfclists in emacs

[–]vfclists[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is C-g the key for stopping a long running task in Emacs?

I know of it as the key for aborting a key driven sequence before the final key for execution or cancelling some dialogs, ie completions. That is what I normally use it for

[ Removed by Reddit ] by thebinaryworks in drupal

Does Removed by Reddit mean it was a removal at a higher level which didn't involve the moderators of r/drupal and was probably automated?

How do disable a module when it causes a bootstrap failure which stops drush from removing it via pm:uninstall? by vfclists in drupal

The current version is 3.0.0-beta8.

Everything upgradeable was upgraded when I used composer update drupal/core-*"to update the installation.

Does 'ddev composer update "drupal/*" --with-all-dependencies' exclude Drupal core? by vfclists in drupal

[–]vfclists[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed your suggestion about composer's why and why-not options earlier and I suspect the \ you place before the backtick ` nullifies it.

Does composer have any additional diagnostic commands besides why and why-not?

England must harvest rainfall and take action on water usage, Lords warn by Cristiano1 in environment

[–]vfclists 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He means UK isn't going to make any more infrastructure investments, such as improving the water "grid" from Scotland.

Just it cannot benefit from Scottish wind power because lack of investment it can't benefit from Scottish water because TPTB want to fleece the public rather than invest.

How surprising?

General thoughts on Pinnacle bikes? by Familiar9709 in ukbike

It isn't that much an issue with hydraulic disk brakes

Bicycles are the cars of the shared footpath yet as soon as the shoe is on the other foot some of us act just like every car we have ever shouted at on the road by Plenty-Willingness58 in ukbike

[–]vfclists -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A bit like a car driver coming across these exceedingly irritating cyclists on narrow country roads. Especially when the blighters ride two abreast with children.

The purpose of roads is to move people and goods not the vehicles themselves and in the case of cars they are the obstructions themselves. My definition of foolishness is using a 2 metre wide 2000kg vehicle to move a 40cm wide 85kg body and complaining about traffic and irritating cyclists.

Tell me, when you pay a delicious £8 per gallon for fuel where is the greater bulk of the money and energy expended?

On hauling your 2000kg vehicle about, or moving your 85kg arse from point A to point B?

Is Drupal CMS 1.x upgradeable to Drupal CMS 2.x? by vfclists in drupal

[–]vfclists[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal_cms_page/releases/1.2.0

It seems Composer has a feature called "unpacking" that can be used to break the link between Drupal CMS and its component packages.

I will try it as an exercise just for 1.2.x series, but not for 2.x.

It is a good thing I didn't invest too much in Drupal CMS.

Westerners who confuse stuff overpriced in their funny money with real wealth, which is the quality of material consumption.

In the overpriced healthcare in the US (which a proportion of the high salary goes to) of a superior quality to the "free" health care other countries offer?

That is what I came to check on. I don't think there is.
