If concentration of control over concentration scares you then a social media not owned by the US should be welcome. Now you have an all-american echo chamber.

I prefer the Firefox solution. Chrome "solved" this by running the outdated version untill restart. But if you click a link outside of chrome it opens in a new instance of the updated version, without your old tabs. If you at this point close all chrome windows then you've lost all the tabs on the outdated instance.

A 3d spider could easily be invisible to the 2d guy, by simply staying clear of his viewing plane. Hence why the "approaching perpendicular to his plane of existence" YouTube comment is actually terrifying.

5/ As Dr Ian Harris said, the unsaid attitude could be stated like: “you have to operate on patients quickly before they get better“.

Wow, really puts a new perspective on the usually massive wait times here in Norway.

I have a love-hate relationship with `micro`:

When it works i love it. I have used it as my go-to editor for at least the last 2 years for quick edits and remote development. It is distributed as a static binary you can put in your `~/.local/bin`, making it is easy to install on systems you don't have admin access to. It has decent syntax-highlighting, lots of themes, easy to configure and has a very gentle learning curve. I'd say micro is a better alternative to nano for beginner, with the exception that nano works better in more limited terminals like putty and cmd.

However, at times it simply stops being able to access the X clipboard. It doesn't support code folding. And after longer sessions it seems to run out of space on the LUA stack. (Some lua calls don't properly clear the stack when done it seems, though I haven't seen this yet on v2.0). I bring with me my keybindings everywhere, since they seem to have swapped around CTRL and ALT for word navigation and for moving lines of text, (This decision might be due to limitations in some terminal emulators). There is also a history of inactivity of the main author, leaving many PRs ignored for long stretches of time. Some are over a year old and has seen no feedback from the main author.
