On the contrary I kinda see the point in the pocket and send to bridge the gap between desktop and mobile for the users that own both.

But the small brainless degradations of the UI in Firefox make me worry about its future. For example it’s not possible to permanently add exclusions to the privacy shield. Because of it the sites are often broken. And this is a feature that is directly user facing on the main screen!

Were you guys ever curious as to what the word “anthrop” means exactly?

Here’s an interesting explanation from Socrates:” Socrates I will tell you. The name “man” (ἄνθρωπος) indicates that the other animals do not examine, or consider, or look up at (ἀναθρεῖ) any of the things that they see, but man has no sooner seen—that is, ὄπωπε—than he looks up at and considers that which he has seen. Therefore of all the animals man alone is rightly called man (ἄνθρωπος), because he looks up at (ἀναθρεῖ) what he has seen (ὄπωπε).”

And yet the English “man”, Spanish “hombre”, Russian Мужик mean the same yet different thing, namely a (working) hand. As in “how many hands do you have in your factory?”

There isn’t a tb3 kvm switch available on the market, that would do what I need. So I’m just re-plugging the tb-3/usb-c docking station downlink cable between two laptops. All the peripherals are connected to the docking station so I don’t need to switch them.

Probably could build a mechanical contraption to do that on a lever push. So that’s what I’m curious about too: why yet no mechanical switch if I’m literally doing it manually already?

I noticed that phenomena but found Brussels actually nice because of that.

How cannot he when the “logos kyrie o teos” is mentioned e.g. in Iesekiel as the self -description of the divine, meaning roughly “the master of putting thoughts into words”. Doesn’t this sound like a very description of a programmer to you?
