Vertical tabs let you see more of a tab’s name while still displaying at least as many of them. (The downside is that they can only do this because they take up more screen space)

I just do it whenever my package manager says to do it after the monthly sudo apt upgrade. Which is most months, but sometimes it doesn’t, so I don’t.

Ten minutes of downtime a month isn’t a big deal.

Git is a decentralized version control system that allows for this.

You don’t need a decentralized version control system to fork, you can do it in Perforce or SVN or whatever too.

That’s all, just wanted to pedantically correct this thing.

but without Seatbelts who’s going to sing the latest composition by Yoko Kanno?

Bizarre. Who are these people who believed in Tesla through the last dozen “full self driving in two years” announcements, and yet finally saw through it for this?

I’d love to continue back and forth on this, but unfortunately the arguments on my side are asinine.

okay sure, but my kitty looks so sad staring at the space between spaces and not being allowed to pierce the fragile membrane that separates them

outside of reality cats struggle session: go

Thankfully in Linux land the evil corporation is Canonical, who aren’t really even all that evil, more like a Team Rocket (anime version) style nuisance.

It would also be sustainable if browsers just added less features over time.

The problem right now isn’t so much that the browser is a monstrously complex thing (whatever just fork Firefox), it’s that Chromium has 97% market share so anything Google decides to push becomes a de facto standard, and they use this position to push more new shit than a hobbyist org could ever keep up with.

It’s still better than Chrome.

BOTE

I think there’d still be enough people nostalgic about it to make a LinAmp out of the code, but only if it was under a real open source license.

Well at least Nurgle is probable happy.

This is clearly a grift, and the target is investors, so good luck to them honestly.

Well wishes rescinded if they ever actually ship a product, of course.

I like how this could either be an AI safety sci fi story, or an IT department that’s just had it with windows update.

It used to be that you’d have to google the number of the local taxi companies (if you’re lucky enough that they have a web presence (pre internet you’d ask the hotel concierge, or check the yellow pages, and many of them never updated past that model)) then call the dispatcher, who would grunt something at you and hang up, and if you were super perceptive you might be able to tell whether they said a cab is coming or not. If you were leaving the airport or a really busy hotel then you’d just walk into the next cab to pull up with no dispatch, though.

There were pre-Uber attempts at app dispatches for cab companies, but different cab companies would use different ones, they were all shit, and most of them didn’t do it.

So the cab companies did fuck this up and Uber did a better job, and Uber replaced them, and everything “improved” exactly how it’s supposed to under capitalism. But cab companies and Uber aren’t people; the actual people (drivers) all got fucked over.

Okay but literal vultures eating literal a falling carcass sounds metal as fuck. Maybe they can do some sick board tricks while they’re at it.

The technology for VR is there but the business landscape just isn’t. For VR to take off, there’d have to be a cheap (like game console price) VR set that works for most people, so game developers making games for them can sell to more than a handful of tech hobbyists. But all the tech companies want to sell premium VR sets because that’s where they make money.

The only ways I see for VR to become a thing are either:

• some company starts mass producing cheap VR sets until they become widely available (just a strategic blunder for the company that does it)
• some company makes a VR console and produces their own exclusive games for it (would’ve worked during the console wars, but Nintendo is the only company still playing this game, and it doesn’t sound like the Switch 2 is going to be this)

Yeah, and it also doesn’t quite fit because making games is a huge amount of work. The companies in question would rather provide a cloud gaming platform that they control and third parties make games on. But then that immediately falls over because they’re all providing the same non-service and can’t win the market from one another.
