> Adding to his woes, the government seized roughly $80 million from him.

That to me means that he was distinctively rich

This what? Ctrl+T -> Type -> Enter or Ctrl+L -> Type -> Alt+Enter?

Personally I do know the hotkeys and I know that Alt+Enter opens the url in a new tab, but I never use the second one. That's why I was asking.

If I don't need a new tab I'll just do Ctrl+L like they do, but we were discussing specifically about the workflow to open a new tab:

> What I'm doing instead: in current tab hit Cmd+L to focus on address bar, type query/address hit Option+Enter to open resulted page in a new tab.

I'm curious: is there a particular reason for this very specific workflow? Is there an advantage I'm not seeing over Ctrl+T, type url, press Enter? Or is it just the way you do it?

When we moved office from one with actual rooms with max 4 people in it to an open space I cried a little internally. Our boss proceeded to extol the virtues of an open space for exchange of ideas and collaboration. Guess who was a stable occupant of one of the conference rooms after less than one month and stopped coming to the office altogether after a while.

Working from home now is bliss. If I'll ever start working in a shared workspace again I want an actual office.

> We must reserve a back room [une arriereboutique] all our own, entirely free, in which to establish our real liberty and our principal retreat and solitude

And thus the man-cave was born :)

My dream house would have a big study with books covering the walls floor to ceiling and a big wooden desk in the middle, like the one in Palazzo Revoltella in Trieste[0][1] (by the way, goo see the Museo Rivoltella if you ever go to Trieste).

The current small room I work from is something already. At least I can close the door when I call customers and team-mates. Heaps better than when I had to work from the living room. But a bit more room (and not having to share the space with the pantry) would be nice.

I don't want to see ads, targeted or otherwise, on my new tab page. If I liked ads I would be using the other browser from the ad company.

> With space not much of an issue anymore, FLAC is pretty much the default nowadays

The default for what? Space is not the only consideration. What about bandwidth?

I'm pretty sure spotify, deezer and the others are not transmitting FLACs, especially not at the base quality level.

It took me a while to understand what GP was trying to say, but I suppose they're thinking of one of those sites where they let you create an account, will let you in and then nag you for a while about "verifying your email address" by clicking a link that will actually send you an email. An unsophisticated spambot won't probably care enough to click through that.

Ok, but don't call them "flying taxis" then.

Didn't we discuss this 4 days ago?

Compared to Google, X years ago, for example. Unless I'm mixing threads up, that's what we're talking about anyway: the degradation of Google's search results.

To be fair I'm the exact opposite of "reactionary", I'm all for inclusive language, but I still find it an odd choice.

Yes, I intend to send it to its intended recipient, which most of the time happens to NOT be Microsoft or its affiliates.

But even then I shouldn't need to do it for every website that does this.

Indeed :)

And `/` neither, while you're at it (I'm looking at you, GitHub).

Are you aware of Firefox Relay[0]? It seems you have extra features, but their plan is priced at 0.99€. For what I need it seems Relay is just enough.

About the site, those blocks under the "Say goodbye to spam and stop cold emails." heading are impossible to read, and the effect on mouseover don't make it any easier.

Good luck with your endeavour :)

Can you please explain what you mean that PDF is better for archiving while HTML sucks in this aspect? What aspects of the formats are you basing this on?

Exactly. This article starts with a misunderstanding:

> In Scrum, Product Owners have sole authority over the Product Backlog

While, as per your quote (emphasis mine)

> The Product Owner is also _accountable_ for effective Product Backlog management… The Product Owner may do the above work or may delegate the responsibility to others. Regardless, the Product Owner remains _accountable_.

Meaning they have the final say, not that they decide on their own without any input from the team.

My impression is that OP just had to work with bad POs who didn't understand their role.

So, the first time I went to see it I was there by chance, because it was in an amusement park and I really didn't know the first thing about what I was getting into.

And yes, at the time I thought the people were being rude, especially when they where howling at the usherette.

Then I saw other performances online and felt like a complete tool :)

> This has never been true for Android in general. This hasn't been true for phones that only ship with the Play Store since Android 12

I'm on Android 14 here, shipped with Play Store by default. It still auto-updates apps.

> which is compulsory in probably all Europe countries?

Nope, here in Italy at least it's not compulsory.

I got news for you: they already did https://www.arrl.org/power-line-noise

You mean you have such a requirement in Germany? I'm intrigued. Tell me more please.

Or where you talking about what would happen if such a mandate existed?

Consider that SE comments are heavily moderated. Unfortunately if you read the chat linked in the comments (which got moved from the comments section) it's everything but fun and games. Also apparently the developer who suggested the feature had to set their twitter to private because he was getting bashed for this.

> There's no real nervous system inhibition.

I think they're talking about the will to make it, not the ability to.

I have some problem with DarkTable too. What are you using now instead?

> The homepage of Wordpress.org SCREAMS open-source. But, is it really though? It is an ecosystem around a centralised (plugin) repository controlled by one person/entity. That's not truly open source.

According to whom? It is open source in the measure that you're allowed to fork and redistribute your modified version. That satisfies the open source definition. If those plugins are open source themselves WPE can set up their own repository and point to it. If it's not, well, they decided to bet on something that could be taken off their hands at any moment.

You may say that this goes against the open source spirit, but that's a different thing. Wordpress is, by any reasonable measure, Open Source.

> WP Engine customising the admin panels, branding and other components to change the experience of Wordpress as they see fit. Isn't that the point of open source?

Sure, but...

> In the same spirit, I can also argue that Automattic doesn't really provide 100% open source Wordpress' experience either - It has many walled features across different price points.

No. The difference is Automattic owns Worpdpress' copyright, WP Engine doesn't. Also, does Automattic claim they provide a 100% open source Wordpress experience?

Let's be clear: I'm not defending WP's actions here (I think what they did is just plain dumb), and I don't have a horse in this race, but here we're conflating what would be ideal (everything is FOSS, Automattic releases everything they do and they compete only on service) with the reality that Automattic is a business and it pursues its own interest. Maybe they're pursuing it in a way that in the end will do them and the ecosystem more harm than good, but what they're doing is just business, and has nothing to do with the definition of open source.

Speaking of tracker music, I can't not mention "Professional Trackers" by Hoffman & Daytripper. Not only because the music is cool but because of what they did visually.

Even better, if you have a tracker that lets you see a whole patch at once (worked fine with milkytracker) download the MOD and play it directly in the tracker
