that infamous Ctrl+Alt+Del strip was drawn up for a reason

It is estimated that as many as 26% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and up to 10% of clinically recognized pregnancies.

some people would like to buy them

the idea is that everyone knows the idea that nobody owns anything, so they’ll boycott that person with zir rotting fruit and stop delivering their own stuff to zim so this person with the irrational mindset will have to confront that ze’s ostracized. (of course, ze could still steal stuff from them if ze wishes, but ze no longer have the social feelings of receiving a gift.) if there are no apples anywhere else they’re supposed to revolt and take the apples by force because of how used they are to the status quo, and if that person wants ze can start a hermit life somewhere else and ask for people to join zir quest about rotting fruit

this isn’t a “people will manage the commons” argument; “that reason” is property itself which anarchism wants to abolish

the anarchist solution is to abolish property, meaning picking the fruit tree clean wouldn’t actually give you anything besides a bunch of rotting fruit and others will probably get angry and stop giving you the stuff they make

not very uplifting innit

I’m not sure what film of which you can’t claim specific lenses would color them contrary to their intentions.

I would compare the action scenes in Saving Private Ryan to the “action scenes” of Schindler’s List. It tells you how hard all of this is, how everybody’s confused, how nobody knows what they’re doing, how it’s all a hellhole. I would not describe Schindler’s List as “glorifying” the plight of the Holocaust victims. It tells you how horrid this all is, not that you should be part of it.

(FWIW, Saving Private Ryan and Thin Red Line are often put in the same category of “glorifying the people who fought in WWII”. But in my opinion, “glorify” here means “elicit sympathy for their effectively-forced situation”, and not “glorify”, which I would say is something like La Grande Vadrouille (1966).)

Waterfox hasn’t been owned by system76 for years now

To me, the main selling point of Waterfox is that it includes a lot of useful userChrome.css toggles. For example, disabling the tab bar and hiding sidebar headers for use with TreeStyleTab.

Waterfox also does disable telemetry by default through using the https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox config

pretty much every war movie

the classics have got Saving Private Ryan, Nolan’s got Dunkirk, Best Cinematography’s got 1917, Ghibli’s got Grave of the Fireflies (released same day as Totoro even)…

for anti-war that’s not depressing, there’s also AFAIK the over-the-top Helldivers

for things that feel “clean” instead of bloody there’s the elegant video game Nier: Automata

Report also appears to be a one-off, unfortunately

oh these are the digits i assure

what does that mean

great thing that PM2.5’s been vanquished. don’t the visibility issues mostly come from inner-mongolian winds of the north, though?

to be precise: not exactly shut down, but made it really expensive

literally 1984

I consider multitasking a discrete part of the OS, not Liquid Glass. i do have some thoughts on it though

for what it’s worth there are gestures they don’t tell you that make the multitasking so much easier: toggle maximization by tapping the top of the window, and then as they mention you can snap it to either side by smashing the window in a direction

also they added back drag and drop to Split View in iPadOS 26.2. after three months they finally have a stable release of this multitasking thing

I have found multitasking useful especially with stage manager, but I completely understand those who don’t like it and just want an option to restore the old multitasking. I also miss Quick Notes (workaround through a shortcut button just isn’t the same)

i find it great on the iphone too, especially with the new swipe interaction to go between tabs (not the safari kind; like in the app store swiping from today to apps). the cornering of buttons works wonders. plus i personally dig the aesthetic though i understand a ton of people don’t

it did make things feel better and easier-to-interact though … on the touchscreen ipad. it looks like hell on macbook

“hard to justify”, on par with “mostly harmless” turn-of-phrase (9)—ＷＯＮＤＥＲＦＵＬ
