Fun fact, Edge still has this stupid behavior even on Linux, so highlight and middle click doesn't work properly since as soon as you highlight it pops up that stupid menu. You have to go into the menu and disable it before highlighting works correctly again.

Signed - someone who is fortunate enough to be able to use Linux on my work machine (yay!) but is still forced to use Edge on it (boo!)

How about XPipe?

https://xpipe.io/

It can even auto-configure itself by parsing out your ~/.ssh/config so you can keep everything defined there for easy CLI access but also use the GUI when desired.

Trying to find common ground between the rational and the batshit insane, is a futile endeavor.

I agree option 1 is the correct choice, though it does appear they are slowly going that direction…

Really? Because every new Windows version is even worse than the one before it. There are now 3? 4? different places to change network settings, but only one of them actually works correctly, if you modify the wrong one it will act like it worked but will silently break all networking on the machine instead.

If they can charge 30% less without Apple's fees, then why are their prices the same whether you buy on their iOS app or direct on their website? Why have they been overcharging users who don't buy through the iOS app by 30% all this time?

Just FYI - you're going to spend far, FAR more time and effort reading release notes and manually upgrading containers than you will letting them run :latest and auto-update and fixing the occasional thing when it breaks. Like, it's not even remotely close.

Pinning major versions for certain containers that need specific versions makes sense, or containers that regularly have breaking changes that require you to take steps to upgrade, or absolute mission-critical services that can't handle a little downtime with a failed update a couple times a decade, but for everything else it's a waste of time.

How about Dawarich?

https://github.com/Freika/dawarich

I haven't used it myself, but I have it in the backlog of things to try out

To be fair, I don't know either. I mean he's supposed to, and he swore an oath to, but if nobody is going to enforce that then must he really? What happens if/when he doesn't?

I had something almost identical to this happen to me on Friday. Last year our company moved to a super locked down version of Teams, to the point where I couldn't even open images that people put in the chat because of security issues, instead the image they posted would be replaced with an error image saying that I wasn't allowed to open images, blah blah blah. That problem was resolved a long time ago though.

On Friday I was trying to send an image of some data processing to a colleague, and every time I put it in Teams, it would show up as that stupid error message. I spent a solid hour trying to figure out why that problem was back, was my computer not authenticating with MS properly, etc. Turns out my file browser was sorting by time order instead of reverse time order, and the screenshot at the top of the list from May 2 2024, was a screenshot of the error message that I used to send to IT when they were investigating the problem.

I haven't finished it yet, but Archimedes Engine by Peter F Hamilton has been really interesting so far

Edit: and if you haven't read them yet, Dragon's Egg by Robert L. Forward and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir are both really good

I’ve never understood this. You guys know you can have multiple Firefox windows, right? What’s the point of tab groups when you can just group related tabs in a different window? Between multiple workspaces, multiple monitors, and multiple browser windows, I never feel the need to have more than 5-10 tabs open on any one of them at a time. More than that and I’m clearly doing something wrong and need to clean up anyway.

Yeah that's about 2 and a half round-trips between Dallas and Houston, that's...not a lot to be calling this thing ready to go and pulling out the safety drivers.

I wonder how these handle accidents, traffic stops, bad lane markings from road construction, mechanical failure, bad weather (heavy rain making it difficult/impossible to see lane markings), etc.

You'd think they would be keeping the safety drivers in place for at least 6+ months of regular long-haul drives and upwards of 100k miles to cover all bases.
