It allows me to access different networks (that might only be reachable via jumphosts or similar) from the same browser. Also at work - some required browser based tools are only accessible via specific proxies. With container specific proxies that's a breeze.

Multi-Account Containers paired with Container Proxy allows for some really cool setups. I especially like the options to use socks proxies. Hope they will add proper proxy support later.

A piezo button would be neat, might be able to generate enough electricity for each use without having to rely on a battery at all. Not sure about the form factor here though.

This topic of time being a western construct, it's impact on society and life is one of the subjects in the excellent book "Borderliners" [1] by Peter Høeg. A favorite of mine, though I never read the English translation. It's a fascinating topic, and impacts our live more than we might be aware of or care to admit. I started thinking about it in a different way after reading this book.

While Meta's use of copyrighted material might actually fall under fair use I wonder about the implications of having to use the whole source material for training purposes...

Let's say I quote some key parts of a copyrighted book in an way that complies with fair use for a work of mine. In order to find the quoted parts I have to read the whole book first. To read the book first I need to acquire it. If it was simply pirated, wouldn't that technically be the main issue, not the fair use part in their service? I am an absolute layman when it comes to the subject of law and just thinking loudly. It seems to me that admitting using pirated works could be more problematic on itself, regardless of the resulting fair use when it is clear that the whole content had to be consumed / processed to get to the result.

Container tabs, often with specific socks proxies. This allows for some immensely useful setups that as far as I'm aware no other major browser can do in such an easy way or at all.

Do Skis Get Blunt? 2 years ago

A local shop might as well make things worse if they do not care too much and give your skis the standard treatment (e.g. different angle than before). Once you have a good edge, it's kind of similar as keeping a knife sharpened. No need to really grind every time, a fine polishing after skiing for a day is more than sufficient and makes your edges last a long time. Been using tools from here for 10+ years, they also have informative instructions: https://www.tooltonic.com/
