I knew my ears were burning. Thank you for the shout out! :)

Kodi and Emby. Ohhhhhh. ISOs. Ha! I knew exactly the types of sorting software that was coming when the idea clicked.

"Search in all tabs" would be so awesome. I don't do 1000 tabs, but when doing research, I regularly have 30-40 I'm flipping through, and I tend to lose my place, know I saw something, and need that exact tab, and it's always a bit of a chore to track it down before I forget why I wanted the tab in the first place.

I hope Firefox gets where you need it to be soon. I recently read the story of the 7000 tab person, so it's clearly a use case.

Those ISOs must go back YEARS! Same with the files! What sorting software helps keep track of all that?

Notepad++ surely has some type of global search feature to help find the thought you saved for later, right? I'm utterly impressed with how much stuff you seem to have around, yet can still find and make sense of it. I would have long since buried myself under it all and given up.

You have 64GB RAM and that's still not enough for your browser. Wow.

I've come away from this with only more questions. What does your Downloads folder/Filesystem look like? Do you have notebooks or any real world allocation of information? What's that like? What kinds of things do you keep in a junk drawer?

Absolutely fascinating.

I'm part of Linux User Space. We do history deep-dives and a whole lot of other Linux content. Most recently was Xz and LXDE/LXQt. We even have our own Lemmy instance :)

The trick is to never get comfortable with Vim or Emacs.

Nothing. Apply Hanlon to the very original response to Vultr. It all works out.

It’s Hanlon all the way down.

This is why I still run out and grab the deb. Might not be the fanciest, or the "Linux way" but I just want my stuff to work.

I suppose it really depends on when you tried it. Ubuntu 23.10 has been working quite well on Wayland. I haven't once failed down to X, and the only papercut I run into now is with differently scaled displays (100% and 150%) where OBS will crash the session when moving back and forth.

Everything else seems good as I haven't really seen anything else break at all and I use Firefox, Kdenlive, Audacity, lots of chat apps, and played some games. Specifically, playing Vivaldia 2 while I was remotely compiling Gentoo using OBS to livestream.

There really isn’t one. Wayland is maturing and app support is following.

This is the way things always go in open source. I’m betting soon there will be a distro that will announce a never Wayland stance just like Devuan prior.

Seems they need some updates. OBS, Zoom and Xfce are all happy to work toward Wayland, and OBS/Zoom both work pretty well on it, so 🤷

And no telling what else has changed since; checks notes; 2016?

Unfortunately we need to force companies to do the right thing. And we should.

tl;dr If you just let me break laws and violate human decency, we'd all be so rich flying around in space doing whatever we want all the time! C'monnnn. Pleeeease?

You can blame a cat or dog approximately once per 5 years of employment. Nice save!

AntennaPod is the best out there on Android imo.

That’s an audible “yuck” from me, man. Well done!

I’m all for bashing Tesla. It’s good fun. But this applies to all EVs and lithium ion batteries that came into contact with salt water.

Bad TechSpot! Bad!

I wonder if a laptop would blow up, too. Probably, right?

Good find. Relevant bit:

Hi all (CEO & Founder, DuckDuckGo here). Looks like something may have broken in a release that went out today -- it is triggering a JS error. We're looking into it now and should have it resolved soon.

I’d love to know the “why” behind this bug. Assuming it’s not actually a feature!

I thought about this… Not sure how I feel about it though lol
