“Come with me if you want to live”

Wait, that’s a photo? I thought it was a stylized rendering at first. The colors are almost vaporwave.

So who are the good guys, mind you telling? As far as I’m aware, currently it’s a choice between Chromium based browsers and Firefox and its forks. So really just 2 options in the grand scheme of things.

The Expanse

Same here, I liked seasons 1-3 better than books 1-3 but books 4-6 better than seasons 4-6. And then there’s the amazing books 7-9 which sadly didn’t get adapted at all.

Or Polish trains.

I honestly don’t understand why anyone would refuse to switch from away Chrome. It’s not like the other browsers lack functionality or are slow. The only problem they might encounter is some rare incompatibility which is the result of Firefox (and its forks) small market share and web devs not caring enough.

I’ve never used Chrome as my primary browser and I don’t think I missed anything. I started using Opera years before Chrome was even a thing (back when everyone was using IE) and then when the old Opera died, I didn’t think even for a second about switching to Chrome and went straight to Firefox. Which could at least be highly customized to bring some Opera exclusive features (eg. mouse gestures, tab grouping) back.

To be fair, let’s be glad that 80% of people don’t use an ad block. If it were the opposite and 80% did use ad block, web services would be much more aggressive in combating ad blockers and many more of them would end up pay-walled (although it seems we’re heading there anyway).

On one hand, I feel kinda bad that my ad-free experience is only supported thanks to those who do undergo the torture of ads, on the other hand, the companies have only themselves to blame. If web ads were decent, only limited to sides and headers or even between paragraphs of web pages and didn’t cover the content you’re trying to view, didn’t try to trick you into thinking it’s part of the content, didn’t lead to malicious websites, didn’t autoplay videos with sound or didn’t put unskippable ads before and inside videos, I would have never felt the need to install an ad block.

How high are you rn? Also, who the fuck’s Mr Rodgers (sic)?

“And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?”

Isn’t this how it always goes with any kind of censorship? It doesn’t even matter if there were good intentions behind it or not, the result is the same.

Oh dog, they meant Fathrenheits! I was thinking 10 degrees Celsius hotter, which sounded even more insane (that’s 18°F if my math is correct).

Message to dear Americans: If you insists on using your freedom units, can you at least mark them properly? We have no way of knowing where you are from.

You can’t possibly have every feature on a keyboard shortcut, even just all those various formatting features in Word for example where you often have to choose something from a list of options. And even if you somehow did manage to have a shortcut for everything, you’d still only remember those you use frequently enough.

Not to mention, I’m pretty sure most of those shortcuts from 2003 still work today.

Ribbon is one of the best inventions Microsoft ever came up with and I will die on this hill. I’m old enough to remember very well the suffering when I was trying to find something in the classic menus or among the billion equal sized icons scattered across multiple toolbars in old MS Office versions. When Office 2007 came out, everything was suddenly so much easier to find, often with less clicks. I don’t see any reason why I’d need the old style menu in addition to ribbon.

Does LibreOffice finally have ribbon or does it still look like MS Office 2003? You can hate on Microsoft all your want (and I’d gladly join you in most cases) and I get the privacy concerns but the Office suite is, after all those decades, still unmatched (well maybe except Outlook).

I know what a serif is. And I’m specifically not talking about that. I’m talking about this:

This is why I prefer sans-serif fonts that have lower case l’s with a little bend on the bottom. For example the new default font in Office (Aptos) does exactly that.
