Is that an iOS app? I’ve searched and found references to “control center” for multiple OS. I have no idea what phone or OS is shown in the picture and can’t guess by the comments, because I don’t know how many meta levels of snark are involved!

They also measure displacement in ICE engines. You never see a 2 Quart muscle car (I’m guessing, I have nfi what a quart is)

git () { if [ "$1" = "cd" ] then shift cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*" else command git "$@" fi }

I have no problem with using Gnome. It stays out of my way and Things Just Work for the most part as 99% of what I do is in a browser or a terminal anyway.

Skunny Kart was my favourite, mostly because it was by a group called “CopySoft”

Around here there are a variety of supermarket solutions. Morrisson’s for example near me has about a dozen cashier lines, usually 3 or so open unless there’s a rush. They have a self-checkout section like people are describing, with the small bagging area (about big enough to cage a toddler), maybe 10 of these. They also have a trolley self-checkout area, which is the same but has a bagging area big enough to cage a lioness.

M&S have cashiers, basket self-checkout, and a third scan-as-you-shop section, where you put things in your basket and scan them, and on your way out you put the scanner back and tap your phone and bag stuff, or if you’re using a trolley, just push it out to your car, whatever.

If I worked for a self-checkout manufacturing company I’d record myself saying “beep” as the beep. And “Ruh-roh” if it didn’t scan.

That’s not where it goes!
