I've been waiting for someone to mention this just to check how many older designers/devs are here.

Google Chrome had this on Android several years ago, but it was quickly yanked out—probably because people hated it as it felt like ti bogged down the OS with it. Personally, it felt like information overload forced into a limited UX context.

But now with advancements like tab unloading/discarding and faster CPUs, it might work for some people om mobile devices. Desktop browsers though might still be hampered by limited task/context-switching options.

I use Glider too and this is the first time I noticed this feature. Interesting!

Somewhat OT, but tangentially related: One of my clients likes to tell me his work requirements by telling me long-winded stories about how he came up with an idea, what exactly happened, etc. that was useful at first but became extremely wasteful of time as years passed. I tried typing down notes while he talked, but it became too hard to write useful ones.

At some point, I resorted to keeping an audio recording of the whole meeting just to make sure I have something to come back to, in case my notes fail me.

I wouldn't do this for everything, but it helped me realize that an audio/video log like a dashcam video can work for certain scenarios.

This. I've had an always-on Pi 3 since 2016 and after countless random corruption issues from various micro SD cards, I moved to booting them from old USB2 flash drives, first an 8gb then an 16gb one. Never had an issue with them and they've been solid. I only had to mess with the flash drives when I had to do an OS upgrade.

Also, those micro SD cards were always fine after a format/partition and I can still use them in other devices just fine. I've read before that the Pi has a tendency to corrupt micro SD cards through its reader, and IIRC it's related to power issues.

This happened a lot to my Pi 3 back when I used the internal SD slot. I set it to boot off USB and used an old 8gb USB2 flash drive as the boot drive and never had the problem again.

I assume this is the final build? https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/115.0/

Among the things I'd prioritize is to make a map of all services/APIs/site structure and how everything falls into place. This would help you make informed decisions when adding new features or assessing which part of the monolith is most prone to failure.

I normally don't use VPNs, so please correct me if I am wrong.

I think from a law enforcement/accountability standpoint, if an "actor" is accused of wrongdoing while using Mullvad's port forwarding service, Mullvad might have some evidence linking the "actor" to an actual identity, since they have the payment information. Depending on the laws of whatever territories, Mullvad may be compelled to leak that info to a judge. Without that information, then there's no information they can ever be forced to leak.

Here's a great little helper to self-host google fonts: https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts

If they only they took a step back, they'd realize yes they can scan it, but nothing beats preserving the original book itself physically. These guys need to go out, breathe air, and talk to people outside of their bubble.

Exactly. In my specific case, there is so much fake news related to the Philippines because of the upcoming May 2022 presidential elections. The son of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos is running for the position and is heavily propped up by a fake news machinery, most likely self-funded by their ill-gotten wealth.

Big tech is ruining democracies simply by having so much power yet not having a proper method of flagging targeted misinformation.

I think that's still worth mentioning considering they're roughly in the same sphere of interest, to avoid the confusion.

I'm currently using restic and used duplicity before for a few years, sending backups to backblaze b2.

What I don't like about duplicity is how it spews weird error messages that I gathered were related to Python versions. It was easier to just start over with restic and haven't had any problems since.

Filipino internet user here. Can at least say that 10 hours a day for most Filipinos seem accurate enough—most people here are connected to FB Messenger via telcos' free FB promos. And a lot of Filipinos use Facebook like a realtime social lobby, replying to comments and status updates almost instantly.

Sadly though, most of the data probably applies to Filipinos in Metro Manila and developed cities, and there's still a huge part of the population that do not have access to the internet or even basic services like 24-hour electricity.

Don't be harsh, please read through his post. 100k was his client's supposed business losses because the project wasn't done in time, not the true value of the project itself if it were done by a true professional like you.
