I can press Ctrl+Tab in opera and switch to the most recent tab.

If I do it in Chrome, I see "the next tab" with no option to change that behavior.

So to me, Opera is a differet browser, even though it is based on Chromium, thank you.

Vivaldi also tries to add stuff from Presto.

You have conveniently skipped Firefox.

1) Yes. As in not having braindead cretins like at google who have killed MRU tab switching
2) Yes, also corps are more accepting of various browser choices
3) At least for me it did
4) You mean are we more protected when NOT using a browser by a company that makes money on advertisements? A tough one...

I run chrome because... it is a company's policy.

F*CK arrogant cretins at Google who have effectively killed "most recently used" tab switching.

And also f*ck idiots at Microsoft, who did the same, even though their own bloody OS does switch between tasks in that very manner.

Long live Firefox and Opera.

Reading about "stability" in 2024 feels awkward.

The only crash I can recall was with aging company laptop tortured by antivurus and similar crap, with me compiling some big ass Java nonsense and crash being vmost likely due ot overheating.

4800u (AMD's oldish CPU) beat M1 at power/perf (dependent on task, but was largely in the same ballpark no matter what anyhow) per anand's tests. Did things REALLY change drastically since that time? I doubt it.

We have x86 laptops that can last a day for what, at least half a decade now? It's just there are "u" series laptops for peopel who care about battery life and, well, rather power hungry, but faster ones, for those who don't.

Unacceptable. But so was google.com chrome pushing.

Also: fuck goddamn idiots at both Microsoft and Google that have killed "most recently used" tab switching.

To grab me, Edge could simply fix Google's FUP with tab switching.

Google's geniuses decided that switching tabs is something one needs to do with a mouse.
LRU switching, they said, is not needed, since it can be done by plugins.
Later on, they've disabled option to have ctrl+tab handled by plugins...

Firefox and Opera still support it (thank god), but neither of those is available in corporate environments, at least not where I work.

Edge, on the other hand...

You can divide 60 by 30, 20, 15, 12, 10, 4, 3, 2.

Now try that with 100.

Oh, look at that, so bitcoin can be traced after all.

Who would have thought.

Most of the "millions of members" subs are subs to which new users were, wait for it, added//shown automatically.

On top of it, Reddit is most likely not profitable.

So it is very clear why they are doing what they are doing.

This should be regulated as zoo of such standards is harmful to most if not all the parties, but most of all, the consumers.

And before you go into "OMG, government bad", think about USB-C pushed by EU.

80% of recently bought devices can charge over USB-C.

The remaining bit, can still be charged over USB and that includes a vibrator.

Claim against apple's monopoly is understandable, as its app store is exclusive.

Android, on the other hand, allows to side load apps, install multiple app stores and what not. So what is there to claim "monopoly" on.

Note that even Amazon's cloud supports services written in Go.

Go is not just language, but entire "swiss army knife" suite, with cross compiler being part of the standard package.

It is much more than just "another language", like Kotlin. Go is more than that. And I doubt it would disappear.

If anything, I find it surprising it's not more popular.

I haven't seen a person who would try it out and not like it.

I thought so too, but... it's different.

It is in fact an amazing thing.

Cross compile for my MIPS based sat receiver? Hell yes, out of the box.

Executable size? Single digit megabytes.

But shared library dependencies? NO, NONE.

Very low memory footprint.

And comparing this to Java (I work mostly with that) or nodejs? You gotta be kidding me. Check cold startup times for Cloud Run (GCP). Surprising bit is that neither python nor nodejs impress, to put it softly.

Java can get closer to GO only with "dirty" tricks like Quarkus/Micronaut bundled with GraalVM (not only using libs built for fast startup and lower memory footprint, but bunding it with modular small JVM)

It's amazing for microservices in the cloud.

There is nothing "nut" about noticing that Covid-19 is jumping from human to a human with easiness way to impressive for an "animal virus", unlike it's other family members, like SARS and MERS.

Gain of function research of a Covid family virus, in a lab created to research, wait for it... Covid family of viruses, how unlikely would that be?
