  • Next week! It'll all be revealed next week!

  • At least it's a break from attack helicopter gender jokes. I guess?

  • "Think of the children!"

    school safety measures implemented

    "No, not like that!!"

  • ...

    Jump
  • A wiki with strong moderation tools, and gnupg signed/verified text built into it from the start.

    An activitypub method to keep git repos in sync automatically.

    A small blog type tool that's used as a replacement for facebook. It would have a hosted "gathering" component that is always online, then when you open your local app, it pulls down all your stuff.

    Shared secrets like a distributed KeePass or Bitwarden.

    Distributed home directory and/or development environments.

    Something like the useful bits from KeyBase. I really wanted keybase to be something that could support this use case: Alice@foo gets a dev job at Bar. Her ID is added to the cool_project@bar group and automatically she has access to all the group's big bug tracking, file shares, wiki, git repos, group chats, etc. Her joining the group is recorded in a permanent record, which can be publicly or privately annotated by people specifically allowed by the group she joined. It'd become an automatic resume.

  • (Apologies for USA centric comment)

    I think if that was proposed in the USA, people's heads might actually explode. When 2 roundabouts were put in nearby, some people acted like the UN new world order was on its way. I grew up in Basingstoke so I love roundabouts. Thankfully people have come around to the idea.

    I'd support it just so my dog can walk near a road without some pickup gunning its engine as it flies past us. Any kind of traffic speed reduction is treated with fury over here.

    People with loud pipes don't realize they look like a nobend and sound like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/s0xqopmjbSo?feature=share

  • All this has happened before. All this will happen again.

  • Holy shit he actually said "the report will come out next week". Like his healthcare solution. Or his infrastructure plan. It's all coming out next week.

  • I updated my original comment above yours. I hope my comments/instructions are understandable, please let me know if I wasn't clear on anything!

  • How awful, I hope they recover quickly and are well cared for.

  • Firefox with tree style tabs, with the user CSS that removes tabs and combines bookmarks bar into the title bar.

    Away from computer right now but I'll take a screenshot in an hour or so.

    And Emacs. :)


    Back at my computer now!

    OK, here's my screenshot:

    So, you can see the tree style tabs (TST) in the sidebar area on the left. I'm using the "photon" theme for TST. with another extension for TST called TST Colored Tabs. If you middle-button-click a link, it's opened in a new tab like usual, but TST also assigns it as a child tab of the page you were viewing. It's incredibly useful for keeping track of where you are and what you're doing. Especially in my DevOps job, I have dozens of tabs open and chaos would reign supreme if I used top-of-window tabs like standard. You can see the bookmarks toolbar has been dragged up into the title bar using the customize toolbar window accessed by right clicking on the title bar.

    To accomplish this you need to enable a setting in about:config called toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, set that to true. Then exit Firefox.

    Then create a directory called chrome in your profile directory, which on Linux is in ~/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILENAME/, which you can get from the about:profiles page. Inside the chrome directory, you create a file called userChrome.css and add this stuff to it:

     css
        
    #main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {
      opacity: 0;
      pointer-events: none;
    }
    #main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {
        visibility: collapse !important;
    }
    
    #sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header {
      display: none;
    }
    
    /*

        permanently at the bottom of the browser window.
        Code below works best for the Dark Firefox theme and is based on:
        https://github.com/MatMoul/firefox-gui-chrome-css/blob/master/chrome/userChrome.css
        This userChrome.css file was last modified on: 28-Jun-2018.
        Tested to work with Firefox 61 on Windows.

  • If russia invaded where you live, would you defend yourself?

    Would you give away half your country?

    How exactly would you force the invaders of your country to sit down and come to a peace agreement? How would that peace agreement be enforced?

  • Meeting my soulmate 15 years earlier would be worth your derision.

  • Wikipedia has dates of important events from 1990s onward.

    Soulmate is my wife. She's asleep next to me :) We've talked about how to convince each other that we are time travelers before lol!

  • Don't go live with your dad.

    Don't get on the motorcycle he buys you.

    Find this specific woman your age in the USA, she's your soulmate.

    This is a tablet computer. Saved on it is a thing called Wikipedia. You're gonna make a fuckton of money. Use it to plant trees ASAP because we're fucked otherwise.

  • People against aid to Ukraine don't seem to understand that by spending billions now, we save trillions in the future.

    If Ukraine falls, russia will go after more and more. They're genocidal expansionists, they think they're destined to rule the world, you just have to see any of their state TV shows. Poland knows this, and knows what happens to people conquered by russia, so Poland is arming themselves to the teeth.

    If russia wins, they've plainly stated that they won't stop expanding westward.
