lol yes! There's at least an Open File dialog from Windows 3.1: https://old.reddit.com/r/Windo...

I frequently have a reference document in the background that I scroll through using the mouse's scrollwheel while typing in another window. Focus-follows-mouse would prevent me from doing that. As such I never turn that feature on. Though if I had a mouse button that could toggled it on/off I'd probably give it a try.

FYI, Christian nationalists do want to expand slavery.

It doesn't really matter if there's a moral right or not. That's not why we attacked. Trump wants to be able to say he controls their oil. That's why we bombed them and why we'll invade.

In terms of conquering another country because we don't like their actions? A better option is to secretly empower their population to make the changes they want or give refuge to a sub-population fleeing them. If not, you're stuck ruling a hostile country by force who will likely fall back to exactly where they were when you leave. The long term outcome of that can be worse for everyone.

I skimmed their website and Radicle looks like a step in the right direction but they have fundamental design issues. You need your issue tracker, project wiki, dev board, etc... all in the same git repo so you can simply check it out and have the full state of the project at that time. Radicle includes some of that but does it through custom git objects. That means you're stuck in their format and with their tools and interface. They should have gone with a text based design with a specific file/folder structure within the repo to hold those features instead. That would more easily allow people to build whatever tools and extensions they want on top of the specification instead of having to break it (I did not see that object format documented).

It's security is backwards too. It's repos are public by default instead of private by default. There's also little control over repo seeding, either it's all or a manual list. So you'll likely end up seeding illegal content if the service ever gets popular and finding new, good projects will be difficult. Projects will appear and disappear randomly. It's not a platform for stable software development.

I'm kind of doing this now too. What you do is look at job descriptions of the types of jobs you want. You'll then realize every job posting is either a generic request for any programmer and the company will find a place for you (then in the interview lists out a bunch of requirements you don't have and wasn't listed in the ad, thus wasting everyone's time) or has very specific requests based on their tech stack. Every company's tech stack is a little different and that difference matters to the recruiters. So pick a job and rush through the tutorials and build a quick demo for that tech. If you spend the time to actually learn it, the job will be gone by then. The company wants years of experience in that stack anyway, so you'll never gain that while the job is still available. You'll quickly find that you'll never be qualified for any job posing you see so you'll have to apply to them anyway. Then in a year or two you'll wonder where you could have been if you took that time to properly train yourself in one of those tech stacks or switched domains. You look back at those first companies and realize their new job ads are for a slightly different tech stack, so if you built up a year of experience it still would have been a waste. And you realize if you keep applying to jobs you'll have this same thought in another year, so you stop applying and instead switch careers or start your own business.

In summary, start your own software company or switch careers. The only way you'll get a job is if you have an in with people already working there. If you need business ideas, listen to side hustle podcasts. Also, you're never to old to sell porn.

For those who already have jobs, don't wait for your company to adopt new tech or later versions. If you wait until then to learn them, once you lose your job you'll be behind the other applicants in the job market and the longer you're out of a job the harder it is to get one. Once you're around 35 years old, consider your career at risk. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it can happen to anyone.

Then get your glasses checked. An argument a lot of 2nd amendment supporters use is that some amount of general gun violence is worth it for the ability to provide a partial check of the government through an armed population. Iran shows what's possible if the population has no ability to fight back.

You can use Apple Maps offline. The way you select which part of the map to download is annoying, Apple forces you to update the offline maps regularly is stupid, and that you have to toggle it on/off rather than Apply defaulting to your stored maps when you're in that area is also annoying. But it works. I use it whenever I'm traveling across multiple states as in those cases I need to reserve my phone data for the EV charging apps and locating charging stations.

We did. The IRS released their own tax software to make things easier and free. A few states were able to try it out last year. It worked. Republicans killed it.

300k+ killed in Iran. What if they had guns too?

He's the VP. Why can't he simply say "We're no longer going to do that." Why was it done in the first place if he didn't think it would be good? If he can't do things like that, there's something seriously wrong with how Microsoft is organized.

Uber/Lyft controls your actions and forces you to pick among the customers it sends you. You are paid at the rate they tell you. They engage in a bunch of illegal activities to harm their rivals, evade regulators, and steal income from workers. You have to actively work for every cent.

With OnlyFans, you bring the customers. You set your entire schedule and prices. Creators on their platform are the ones engaged in the illegal activity. Once you've created content, you can leave it online and earn funds from subscriptions.

The way they run their companies is completely different despite both being gig-style jobs. For ride sharing companies, you're part of their brand. For OF, you create your own brand. So yes, it's an issue for ride sharing companies to not provide minimum benefits since they're the ones setting your prices. For online porn sites, you're the one setting your prices so if you can't earn a living wage then that's only on you. Why should they provide benefits if you have a passive site gaining income from subscriptions?

The movies do have intermissions, they just moved them to the start of the movie instead of the middle.

It's illegal to change your license plate. It's not illegal to scan someone's sensor ids, clone them on your vehicle, then drive by one of these 3rd party sensors while committing a crime (well the crime part is illegal). The point is someone can steal your 'car identify' by doing this. Today's that's not too useful. Maybe tomorrow it will be. Perhaps there's a push back against cameras and cities switch to tire tracking instead. It'll matter then. Or perhaps these ids are already being tracked into people's overall profiles. Similar to how people who take their phones onto roller coasters end up getting higher insurance rates because that movement data makes them look like bad drives, someone could clone your ids, speed past a few sensors, and now your rates are going up. It wouldn't be some criminal organization targeting you, it'd be some random kids thinking it's a cool/funny prank.

There's a bunch of other random 'pranks' you could as well, especially as cars are getting more automated. I doubt Waymo encrypted their tire ids. Clone theirs and give their car false alarms of flat tires. How will they react? You can mess with people on the road too. I bet you can get a lot of people to pull over if you feed their car false pressure readings. How will the car software react to readings coming in from multiple sensors with the same id?

The chance of any of that affecting you is small, but it's something the industry will have to deal with so they might as well get ahead of it and secure all their communication pathways sooner rather than later.

Do people not remember the hell of scrollable and nested menus? It was horrible trying to go to a menu, scroll it down, go to a sub-menu, scroll that down, then go to another sub-menu only to accidentally move the mouse off it and you now have to re-open that entire menu structure. The ribbon got rid of most of that. The one thing it did a good job at was giving every element a unique and visible shortcut key (once you learned the shortcut key to display them). The ribbon was far easier to use with your keyboard than the menus were.
