00:40:43 <MrMobodies> Another thing I am really pleased about with Firefox
00:40:45 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/hK3YCZHW/Debugger-lightmode.jpg
00:41:21 <MrMobodies> In debugger settings, a "light mode" option that makes the F8 debugger shading white instead of dark.
00:41:24 <MrMobodies> Isn't that nice.
00:44:30 <MrMobodies> Setting that as light mode in settings also influences the overlay shading when I select screenshot on page so no longer dark
00:44:31 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/kqgwkFNg/Firefox-Save-JPG-Lightmode.jpg
00:46:26 <MrMobodies> It does see to affect other things and make it look plain and bland but I don't mind that at the expense of rapid screen changes suddenly changing from light to dark.
00:46:37 <MrMobodies> excessively I mean
00:48:37 <MrMobodies> Firefox did well there, by giving the user a choice to something they had before and and that seems to be very rare these days
00:50:36 <MrMobodies> The last time I remember they were doing things like this and introducing controls I last remember was 20 years ago one of them was animations that autoplay.

09:43:00 <steve30> they're switching off Radio 4 long wave
09:43:28 <electrohead> :(
09:43:33 <steve30> And as with everything of that nature in this country, there's a lot of fearmongering
09:43:43 <electrohead> you live in america?
09:43:46 <electrohead> lol
09:44:30 <steve30> like how old people can't cope, people won't be able to communicate in an emergency despite practically no one owning a LW radio any more, something about nuclear weapons being set off if the Today programme can't be heard on a submarine... etc

09:48:51 <electrohead> oooo
09:48:59 <electrohead> homebrew SDR's have a special place in my heart
09:49:25 <steve30> Go on 198kHz to listen to the last ever LW shipping forecast, closedown and national anthem :)
09:51:28 <rc-garage> oh nice, they are freeing up a frequency for my show
09:51:37 <steve30> yay
09:52:19 <rc-garage> I just have to figure out how to run my radio backwards
10:03:10 <steve30> well, that's that
10:05:41 <electrohead> that's that

17:38:24 * steve30 awaits the postman
17:41:55 <Kuschelpony> what interesting stuff on the way?
17:42:09 <steve30> replacement ebike crank
17:42:49 <steve30> although since the splines on the motor spindle are a bit worn i might have to fabricate some shims or also buy some adhesive
17:43:13 <Kuschelpony> ok, thats a place where i can not offer expertise
17:43:42 * steve30 hates proprietary bike parts
17:47:58 <DogWomble> i kinda wish they'd standardise on that. SRAM were at least trying to do that to a limited extent by trying to create a more universal derailelr hanger
17:48:53 <DogWomble> \luckily my bike mechanic has at least some ability to make his own stuff, when my hanger got bent a few years back he just machined a replacement for me rather than stuff around trying to find a matching part
17:50:36 <Kuschelpony> for a moment my brain thought, but Static RAM were quite standardisednand exchangeable
17:50:54 <DogWomble> hah :)
17:51:22 <DogWomble> yeah, it's the two biggest bike groupset manufactuerers - SRAM and Shimano
18:09:57 <steve30> This has a Specialized SL motor, which seemed to be a fairly specialised item
18:12:31 <steve30> my modem has lost its 5G connection

18:23:34 <DogWomble> Now he question @steve30000: is yours a fixed seat post or a dropper?
18:26:37 <steve30000> its an ordinary one
18:26:49 <DogWomble> aah :)
18:27:47 <DogWomble> yeah, i had a dropper fitted to mine, the problem i had was that my damn hamstrings and the like make it hard to get on with the seat up, but having the seat down doesn't put me in a decent riding position
18:28:18 <DogWomble> i've since learnt that droppers are _great_ - if i ever upgrade the bike, it's going on the shopping list
18:29:14 <steve30000> can't say as i've ever wanted to move the seatpost while riding
18:30:13 <DogWomble> well for me it started as a way to fix that problem. but i also do a bit of off road riding as well - have the seat up normally for most riding, but also drop it for steep descents to make it easier to get my weight bacjk
18:36:00 <steve30000> ah, i don't reallt do off road
18:36:47 <DogWomble> yeah, the off roaders do tend to like their droppers :)
18:37:01 <DogWomble> i think they're slowly catching on with roadies, but they're still less common

20:35:18 <MrMobodies> It's the same as yesterday but earlier
20:35:39 <MrMobodies> very disappointed in the Met Office
20:37:10 <MrMobodies> and the heavy rain and thunder that they predicted gone, just a LITTLE DRIZZLE for less than an hour according to the BBC
20:37:24 <MrMobodies> Both both of them WRONG
20:37:35 <MrMobodies> by 8c
20:38:10 <MrMobodies> I wonder if they do this to give some people hope

21:52:40 <MrMobodies> I think they mis inteperated the regulations

21:53:27 <MrMobodies> I thought that was PART o to stop builders specifing air conditioning unless natural means of cooling could not be achieved and I'd imagine why they lost one of them in court.
21:53:50 <MrMobodies> and they are expensive to run so I don't think it is "uncessary" when people put them on.
21:54:44 <MrMobodies> if they are worried about where the heat guns maybe they could encourage the use of hot water cyclinders for houses that have them to store that heat
21:55:40 <MrMobodies> I wonder if that council has it installed in their offices
