  • If you force tabs to open in a new tab/window, how do you open it in the same tab/window?

    Ultimately, it is about user control and possibly accessibility.

    Depending on your input device you can open a link in a new tab directly through

    • Middle mouse click
    • Ctrl + mouse click
    • Ctrl + Enter

    The alternative or fallback is to use the context menu like you say.

    Who says they should categorically and always open in new tabs though? In what contexts? On what kind of environment behavior does that depend? Does it assume a standard single open, auto focus, close, get back to the previous page? What makes a navigate back worse?

    If you want a general, categorical solution for your preference, as long as Lemmy does not provide a setting for it, a simple browser addon could automatically adjust all links on a websites pages, or your browser may offer it.

  • How so? You mean which encryption is being used? The Bluetooth demanded minimum is not enough?

  • Who is eligible for compensation?

    ... all UK consumers who bought goods or services from a business who advertised using search advertising services provided by Google. This is effectively everyone in the UK.

    Consumers do not have to have seen these goods and services advertised on Google, or used Google to have purchased the goods or services. This is because the claim says that these inflated prices were paid by everyone if the business advertised on Google.

    Consumers affected by the Google claim could be owed around £100 if the claim is won. They will not pay costs or fees to participate. The claim is being funded by global litigation funder Hereford Litigation.

    An interesting case and claim. Indirect correlation.

  • Bluetooth data transmission is encrypted. Initialization typically happens only through the press of a physical button.

    I assume you're using wireless devices of the same manufacturer, that uses an alternative that is not Bluetooth, and has automatic pairing without a safeguard.

    This is not about wireless primarily. Use a decent product and standard and you don't have that issue.

  • Edge is just Chrome plus Microsoft.

    Notably minus the Google integration though. Replacing one big corp for another.

  • Lol, protagonist disappeared into a shadow - barely visible.

    Deliberate design? It would certainly fit the series.

    Overall pretty noisy visual. Maybe too much on it for a poster?

    Talking

  • Firefox

    An established foundation with good interests and goals running it (unfortunately it's not quite that clear cut - but the best, closest). The source of free software development. Extensive feature set. Robustness.

    I haven't seen the need to use a fork, and like and prefer the idea of using and supporting the one that's investing in the engine development - even if it's largely only through free use. (Using forks does not support them this way.)

    When briefly using chrome dev tools I've always preferred and went back to Firefox dev tools for web development.

    Sharing my data with an independent org like Mozilla feels much better and safer than with Google. The services are free software and could be replaced if it ever need be. Still, Mozilla is big enough to expect stability across time.

    Tech wise there's not much difference between the three big players Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.

    If it weren't Firefox I'd feel more comfortable with Edge than Chrome.

  • For toolchains like rust, go, c#, typescript/nodejs how would "things get ugly very fast" when making the toolchain an env dependency?

  • I would have preferred tabs to win for this reason.

    Unfortunately, as you pointed out, "good enough" can be excluding, non-inclusive. Overall it works well enough for enough people / none with impairment stumbled over it yet, did not voice or were not heard.

    the majority of healthy people has no problem marginalizing minorities with disabilities

    I wouldn't attribute malice like this though. Most people just don't care or are not mindful and thorough.

  • I've read about someone's experience once that less detailed release note releases are more likely to be approved by store moderation without issue.

    It's probably more laziness / not seeing enough value in it though.

    I see lacking release notes everywhere - in many projects.

    Sucks when you're trying to asses necessity, risks, and changes of updates of apps, service infrastructure, or libraries.

    Good release notes are not hard if you have a good workflow. At my work project it's basically automated generated - thanks to a deliberate and conventional commit workflow.

    But few people see the need, the value, or have the initiative and thoroughness that would establish it.

  • Orchestration and containerization are heavy dependencies. I prefer few and simple requirements, especially on the environment.

    That only works well with tech with a defined or prevalent environment. Then it's a matter of keeping docs up to date - like any doc.

    Using small scripts if necessary, and splitting off non central dev workflows helps keeping it simple and focused.

  • Swear by? Is that like a drive by but with swearing?

  • Do you have actual experience with it?

    Some time ago I read a comment from someone with impaired eyesight who used an editor that would adjust space indent just fine.

    Accessibility is a thing I always consider.

  • I created a tool for removing trailing whitespace across the whole project. After cleanup now it's at least only a matter of pointing it out in reviews and occasionally fixing landed sources.

  • I consider tabs for indentation a failed concept.

    The idea is good, but it evidently failed. Most guidelines and newer Tools recommend or require or use spaces for indent. They have their reasons too.

    The prevalence of spaces makes it hard to make a contrary argument for tabs. By now, I don't think it's worth even if it had reasonable advantages.

    Editors/IDEs that parse syntax can adjust space indent too. A mixture for indent and alignment is not obvious for everyone (I always display whitespace in my editors and am deliberate and consistent, but many people and editor defaults won't be). Some defaults of four or eight space-width tab display is atrociously wasteful and inaccessible.

    Spaces are a good enough baseline. It works well enough. And most importantly it works consistently. That's why it won in prevalence and use.
