I saw this over on lobste.rs and came over here to see if there were any comments, because it looked like a cool project. Alas, it got even less traction here.

Tree style tabs works as well as it did before, except that it's more difficult to get rid of the top tabs.

You can probably access CR for free through your local library!

Well, not for the customer...

I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it running.

With Temporary Tontainers you can just install one of the cookie-ignoring plugins, since cookies don't do much if your containers are ephemeral.

Temporary Containers is fantastic. Its functionality should really be a core feature of any browser that claims to be concerned with privacy.

Also the bird is gigantic (relative to the laptop)!

I'm confused as to how this compares to tools in the workflow manager space such as Airflow/Perfect/Dragster. The words describing the software are almost the same but it seems to come from alternate universe of tools I'm not familiar with. Could someone fill me in?

This is good as far as it goes--I think better information can help consumers at the margins. But it's hard to imagine this will do much to actual induce competition in markets where there are only a few (or one) players and most consumers are sticky.

Congrats on the launch, guys! Hamilton was the first MLOps library that really seemed to fit the challenges we face, because it offered a more granular way to structure our code. Really excited to see what other tools are on the way.

Alas, Foobar2000 has started crashing regularly on me after a few seconds with Wine version 7.19+: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53818

Sorry, my comment was a bit misleading: as the other commenter noted, they are doing testing in rivers, etc. When animals defecate/urinate onto the ground, some of it eventually gets carried and aggregated into flowing water.

Wastewater surveillance is a pretty crazy technology. My neighbor works on projects using it for wildlife tracking, and they can get startling amounts of information about what is going on in a given watershed. What (e.g endangered) animals are present, what animals humans are eating, etc. And all the way down to the viral level, obviously.

This is far more impressive than the almost-blank screen on Firefox Mobile led me to expect.

It looks like it's mostly engineered this for personal use, but as somebody currently underwhelmed by GitLab Wiki (/Gollum) for enterprise documentation, some of the features here would be very useful in that context.

Anyone's ability to broadcast on Twitter is only as far as the system dynamics of Twitter and its users allows them. Retweeting is not some pure expression of speech that needs to be "free", it is limited already shaped and limited by all kinds of incentives and technological particularities (character limit, anyone?).

I think media should function to encourage speech that balances social and individual utility. That is, speech that has important protection from powerful actors like the government and CEOs, but also that incentivizes true and useful information, in all the nuance that is necessary to actually understand the world. (Obviously entertainment is useful as well.)

But engaging lies are not a form of speech I value, and equating the current operation, or slightly-more-permissive version of it, of an overwhelmingly constructed forum (i.e. Twitter and it's retweet system) with "free" speech doesn't make much sense.

This is very interesting! For some reason the name and crown logo rub me a bit the wrong way, but I love the way they dissect and categorize different models.

Edit: just to add some substance to my comment, I think more awareness of governance models and how power is allocated in the various domains of our lives is an absolutely critical piece of moving toward a more just, fulfilling, and less authoritarian world.

Looks nice! Do all of these shell history replacements completely override native history functionality or just add on to it? (and if I delete something using `hishtory redact` does it delete it from my native shell history too?)

Also just a heads up, I find the demo gif to be unintelligibly fast.

Does anyone know of any DOT -> mermaidjs format converters? I was looking for one recently and was surprised not to find anything more robust than someone's quick search and replace script.

I triggered some Discord flag where now they require me to give them my phone number to log in via the web. I won't give it to them. Luckily I have a still-logged-in instance on my home computer, do I can still use that for the time being. Super frustration though.

The HOA comparison doesn't make much sense here. Unions give people a democratic way to exercise power against an existing powerful organization (corporations), in what would otherwise be an authoritarian workplace. HOAs are a way to exercise power as a group against individuals in the group. It's true that democratic institutions can be frustrating, but this (obvious) fact is not the clever gotcha you seem to think of is.

Asking for help by submitting your data, instead of contributing or actually having any deliberate influence over the project, is a bit on the nose for a desktop environment so famous for its "my way or the highway" approach.

This looks great! I'm curious though if there are ways to get a bit more control over page layout. For example, can you put three charts on one page and have them resize appropriately? Or put two charts next to each other (without relying on the charting library itself)? This functionality is pretty important for our use case, but I've been assuming that notebook-style formats, when they output to pdfs or a printed page, are just going to output html that gets split up by the rendering engine.

I tried the KDE spin of Fedora recently but it was just too buggy:

- Right click menus didn't open in the right place when using a second monitor

- Basic applications like terminal and Dolphin often took more than a second to launch when they should have been instant

- I didn't really like Dolphin and wanted to go back to Nemo. There was a nice setting option to use a different file manager -- great! Except Nemo couldn't launch any programs for some reason. (Double click and then... nothing)

I searched for fixes for all these issues but got nowhere. I posted a bug report for the right click problem and somebody said it was a known problem with qt upstream that was therefore unfixable.

I think KDE has a ton of really cool design decisions and ideas and I love the customizability, but ultimately these bugs were too much and I went to Fedora Cinnamon.

This looks pretty cool, is there a way to do column layout (or any kind of positioning) when making a PDF, or is it just flowing the notebook html?

"the whitelist has a purpose" doesn't really capture what's going on, though. It's more like they whitelisted some of the most popular extensions and then just stopped completely with no intention of continuing.

With the much more limited plugin API (and simple html plug-in config pages) of the new browsers you'd think it would be easier to build and vet secure, cross platform add-ons.

I tried Gnome for the last year or so and finally got fed up with how opinionated it was, and switched to KDE. But KDE was too janky -- you can customize it to perfection but if things don't work it's not perfection. So I'm back to Cinnamon.

Do you mean the little icons they use on eg Dolphin's "Places" panel? I agree they are not great. Does anyone know how to change them?

I've been trying to use Nemo as my default file manager in Fedora KDE, but something broke where I can't actually launch anything from Nemo most of the time, so I'll probably go back to Dolphin.

Seconding this! Broken Age is a really solid adventure game that got a bit of a bad rap because of Kickstarter delays etc. It's a (dual) coming of age story that kept my partner and I fully engaged, and my partner has pretty high standards for a good story. I think it would be great for kids.

Merged! Thanks for the addition, looks like an interesting talk with some good real-world lessons.
