That’s a very good idea.
Beside the number of permutations it gives, another benefit of using three words is they could form the border of the QR code, with the fourth side being the domain name

Paper may be old-fashioned but I need something light for the carrier pigeon

My biggest bugbear relating to this is the lack of a short text alternative for QR codes, especially with long URLs.
If the URL is too long to fit into a QR code, then it’s also too long for me to type in manually!

I find it handy for writing down a URL on paper

I think it’s interesting that the phrase “ARM-free” roadmap is being used. I had no idea there had been so much market penetration of RISC-V already

When I think of dotfile management, I think it means handling standalone config files that are a few KB, intended to be user-editable, and are probably not changed by the running program itself.

I don’t think the Firefox config files meet those criteria. I don’t know, because I just leave them alone. I think a better tool for managing Firefox config would be to sync your profile, either through their servers or by self-hosting a sync server

I’m really grateful for the introduction to deceptive patterns here.
I was not aware of it, and I think it’s important to have language that can describe specifically how tech companies are trying to coerce people.

There’s a 1920 x 1200 non-touch display option, which will surely get you better battery life than OLED. But what’s most interesting about it is the 1-120 Hz variable refresh rate, which Dell says is a first to for this model. That extremely low refresh should help save power when static images or text is on the screen.

Ah yeah, I should have read the rest of the article. I didn’t know about that feature though, that’s cool

1 Hz display option: like an e-Ink display?

(it says 120Hz in the article)

If there’s one way to make people care about cybersecurity…

Feels like a variation on this old quote:

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.
