I’m glad so many people enjoyed my comment! Czech is a colorful language 😊
It’s very interesting indeed, I tried to research the origin of the idiom but was unsuccessful 🤔
Decided to write it in python for brevity.
if you.can_read_this():
you.is_too_close = True
though if you know what you’re doing, you’d be more likely to do something like
you.is_too_close = you.can_read_this()

I really tried to switch to FF, but I need my vertical tabs, side-by-side/sidebar view and power user keyboard shortcuts.
I tried to use Tree Style Tabs, but that uses FF’s sidebar view and I need the sidebar for other things too. There’s a use case where I like to have two tabs open side by side, and the best way I found to do it in FF is the extension “Open in sidebar”. But that overwrites the tree style tabs view, so I can either use vertical tabs or display websites in the sidebar, but not both at the same time! Not to mention that when I drag a tab out from a window, the website opened in the sidebar is carried over to the new window with it, which is infuriating! Also, Tree Style Tabs is so damn wide.
Another pet peeve is that searching in open tabs is not trivial. When you want to search in the titles of your open tabs with the goal of switching to it, you need to:
Which is just too many steps for this use case to be efficient, and I do this a lot in other browsers!
Despite all the privacy problems and other issues, Edge:
I like the idea of switching to FF and ditching Chromium very much, but these things are deal breakers for me and they’re why I have to stay with Edge for now…
Unluckily, as Liliputing observed, the Framework mainboard with an alluring Ryzen 7 7840U costs basically the same as a fully kitted out and sleekly designed handheld like the ROG Ally.
“Unluckily”? I see this as an absolute win! Good luck swapping out or re-using components in the Ally!
Get a laser printer. The initial cost is a bit higher, but toner is much cheaper than ink in the long run, and it doesn’t run dry

He said “AssTechnica” when “ArseTechnica” was right there
I wouldn’t be so negative. The first thing I saw after reading the parent comment was a reply refuting it, with a screenshot of the dark mode. I think that’s pretty good
So ZRAM is RAM, but compressed? I didn’t know about it, thanks for sharing!
I was gonna suggest Ctrl+r as the most important bash shortcut, and also Alt+b/Alt+f and Ctrl+w.
Also, I would teach them the basics of viewing text files in less

Hyperfocus on the wrong thing
Apple holds 57% of the phones market versus Android’s 42% in the U.S., according to web traffic analysis site Statcounter. The data skews worse for Android when narrowed down to teenagers. According to a survey of 7,100 American teens last year conducted by investment bank Piper Sandler, 87% of teens currently have an iPhone, and 87% plan on sticking with the brand for their next phone. But the stigma regarding Android phones is mostly an American phenomenon, at least to the degree to which it affects purchase habits. Worldwide, per the same Statcounter report, Androids represent the significant majority of all smartphones, holding a 71% share of sales compared with Apple’s 28%.

You explained it in the title and I was still wondering where the difference was 😅

I see surprisingly few mentions of WindScribe in this thread. I’ve had nothing but good experience with them and I always read their promo emails in full (they send very few of them, and their marketing team is hilarious)
I did not know that. Thanks!
