Do you think being left-handed gives any unique qualities or advantages compares to other right handed?
  • May also have been a subtle way to help protect in case the castle was stormed. I've certainly heard of castles where the steps were sometimes irregular heights - those who lived there would be used to it, but invaders would not and would find it harder to move effectively. A differently spiralling stair might have the same effect.

  • Google Photos removing ‘Memories’ from bottom bar, now called ‘Moments’
  • Remember when Google Photos was basically perfect? And then they started messing around with it? I 'member :-(

  • Would social events be better if phones didn't have data?
  • I'm in the same boat as OP, and while I think you're probably right, I do also think that were I in better shape with fewer responsibilities now, I'd still prefer the experience of being at a gig/club night without phones.

    Only a personal preference of course, not saying people are wrong if they prefer how things are now.

  • Thought Robbo was doing well overall, although he did have that moment where he tried to clear and asked up having to give away a corner. Played a couple of nice balls into the RM box though.

  • Gakpo to come on for Diaz? Not much going well on the left wing so far.

  • What wouldn't you have minded so much if it wasn't exaggeratingly bad?
  • Fair enough. Doesn't mean it's necessarily good art - just like the blue rectangle, it depends what the artistic intent was, and how well it was carried out.

  • What wouldn't you have minded so much if it wasn't exaggeratingly bad?
  • By that logic though, as long as the person who made the blue 6x4 had an idea in their head, it would count as art, no?

  • What do people carry in post apocalypse show/ movies
  • Possibly sometimes they're carrying it just in case they find something worth bringing along.

  • Somehow it's only 10 points at the half, so you never know. But we're lucky that GB aren't already well, well out of sight.

    Nice drive for the TD though. Hope remains I guess!

  • It's where the foul takes place that matters, so they must have felt that the contact itself was inside the box (or at least on the line). Didn't look it to me, but hey ho, got the result in the end - 8 points clear! Madness 😀

  • Purdy and Bosa both out for Packers game

    www.espn.com Purdy, Bosa out for 49ers; Allen to start at QB

    The 49ers will start Brandon Allen at quarterback against the Packers in place of an injured Brock Purdy. Defensive end Nick Bosa also will miss the game with injuries to his left hip and oblique.

    Josh Brandon Allan will start at QB.

    Packers game already looked tough, this just feels like another kick in the teeth.

    Referee David Coote suspended over video of foul-mouthed Klopp rant

    www.theguardian.com Referee David Coote suspended over video of foul-mouthed Klopp rant

    Video footage has emerged showing the Premier League official explaining his disdain for the former manager

    Referee David Coote suspended over video of foul-mouthed Klopp rant

    Well, that's a bit awkward...

    "Coote was the video assistant referee when a challenge by the Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on Virgil van Dijk that left the Liverpool defender with an anterior cruciate ligament injury went unpunished."

    "Coote also drew the ire of Klopp as the VAR for the 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal last December after an apparent handball in the box by Martin Ødegaard did not lead to a penalty."

    Is it possible to group favourited communities or users into a single feed?

    Per this thread, I'm wondering if it might be possible to create feeds of favourited people or communities.

    I guess this would be similar to how multireddits worked and since that's not available on Lemmy, this might not be either. But maybe some smart person out there knows of a way.

    It's not even me that wants to do it, but I'm invested in an answer now! :-)

    Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)?

    I've decided (after seeing the advice repeatedly!) to try and move away from Chrome and use FF instead. However I've immediately come across an issue which is a bit of a deal-breaker for me, and although I've looked into it, I haven't seen an answer anywhere.

    One of the best features in Chrome is the abilty to create a shortcut for an individual URL. This shortcut can then be placed on the desktop, start menu or quicklaunch toolbar (Win 10) and opened as if it were a program in its own right - so, no URL bar, no tabs, no bookmarks, just the site content.

    I use this method every day for a number of different sites - Outlook, Gmail, Calendar, Keep, Sheets, Docs, etc, and it's perfect. So much so that I usually forget that I'm technically opening all of these in Chrome at all, not least because the site favicon shows in the taskbar in place of the browser logo.

    So, I assumed that FF would be able to do the same thing... but apparently not. Am I missing something? I've found people discussing old features like SSB (site-specific browsing) and PWA (progressive web apps), but as far as I can tell all work on this in FF has been discontinued.

    I would maybe just put up with this, and use Chrome shortcuts for these sites, and FF for everything else, except that links clicked from within them will open in Chrome intead of FF, which makes for a confusing experience.

    Anyone know of a good solution to this? Thanks in advance!

    YSK: It's possible to get search results from Google without the annoying 'AI' answers at the top

    Already getting sick of seeing 'AI' results at the top of a search when all you want is a link to a site?

    I just discovered this article showing a way to not see it (although it doesn't disable it altogether).

    TLDR:

    • In Chrome open settings menu, choose Search engine on left menu and scroll down to site search
    • Click Add button and choose a name (eg Old Google, Google Web or whatever)
    • Add a shortcut word (eg web, og, or whatever)
    • Add this URL string: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
    • Save that, and now if you search for something and use the shortcut word you set you'll just get proper results, no 'AI' shown
    • Or, if you don't want to have to add a shortcut word, you just make that search your default (use the 3 dot menu next to the name you set) and all searches will show that way, no shortcut word needed.

    EDIT - meant to add that there are detailed instructions for Edge, Firefox and Safari in the article if you don't use Chrome

    Hope that helps someone - I really don't like all that extra nonsense when I just want a link to a site that I know exists!

    [Obligatory - "or don't use Chrome/Google...", I know - but people do, so this might be useful]

    (Win 10) Move all windows of a single programme to a different screen?

    Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to do this?

    Here's my use case in more detail

    I have a laptop and a PC, with the laptop connecting to one of my 2 monitors via an HDMI splitter. This allows me to use my PC on both screens most of the time, but then quickly switch one monitor to show the laptop, when required.

    Only thing is that doing that causes all PC windows* on Screen 2 to jump to Screen 1, while Screen 2 now shows the laptop's windows. That's fine, and I get why it does that (effectively the PC thinks I've disconnected Screen 2).

    \* (usually it's a bunch of Chrome windows, 5-7 of them - for work/multi-client reasons this works best for me and my PC handles it fine)

    When I switch the HDMI splitter back, all PC windows remain on Screen 1, while Screen 2 is once again showing my PC desktop, but with no windows. Ideally all windows would flip back to where they were before, but I don't think there's a way to do this, and again, that's fine.

    My next preferred option is to be able to able to move all Chrome windows over from Screen 1 to Screen 2 quickly - and this is what I'm looking for advice on. I can't seem to find a way to "select" all/multiple Chrome windows and shift them to Screen 2, but it feels like there must be a way?

    Any help greatly appreciated :-)

    To Norway: An Apology

    Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.

    You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?

    Sorry Norway, you deserved better.

    Scotland qualification scenarios

    Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot...

    So.

    If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes.

    If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through:

    • Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia
    • Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia
    • Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think)

    If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through

    • Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result)

    • Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland)

    • England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia).

    • There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia)

    • Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia)

    • Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely.

    • No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do.

    • Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above.

    And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)

    0' - Game has just kicked off, 0-0 15' - Decent start, couple of really good chances already for Hanley and Forrest, both probably should have been buried. 30' - Scotland in control, but can't get a shot on target. HT - Same old Scotland, never scoring... 58' - GOAL! Christie slams it home after getting into a bit of a fankle with Shankland (a shankle? A fankland?) Nice ball in by Robertson too. 85' - GOAL! Adams. I didn't see it, but apparently it was a good one 👍
