First, you're stronger than i. Congrats on the life shift.

Second, "not having constant input" can be viewed as a skill. Meditation is a way that I have practiced that skill (I'm quite out of practice these days).

I recommend doing guided meditation. It's not the thing for everyone, but it helps some.

I wish FIDO had paid more attention to SQRL. It's long in the tooth now, but with some attention it could have been a better solution than passkeys, IMO.

I'd argue that the concept of isolated environments is great. Python's implementation... leaves something to be desired.

It's still a bit hacky, even in Python 3. Tools like uv and pdm exist in the gaps to smooth it out.

That said, it's something that the core community is actively working on and it's not something users will face day to day.

I say this as someone who moved from PHP 3 to Python 2 to Ruby to PHP 6+ to Python 3 as their goto language over the years.

That depends on whether you treat "limericks" as a trochee (long-short, i.e. "lim-ricks") or a dactyl (long-short-short, i.e. "lim-er-icks").

Firefox still doesn't have a native vertical tab bar.

That is only mostly true now. There is an about:config setting you can turn on in FF 129 (released this week) which will let you have native vertical tabs. The implementation is only about half done, but it's good enough for me to use alongside Sidebery Tabs.

You can track progress on vertical tabs in Bugzilla. They are also working on tab groups, but that work is at an earlier stage.

All in all, I think we'll see vertical tabs in the next 6 months or so? As a devout Firefox user and resister of the Chromium monopoly, I am really excited.

Through the magic of buying two of them....

TIL about Rainmeter. This thread has done some good, beyond the obvious good of mocking Dev Home.

Makes sense. I can't blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you're not paying you're the product, after all.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

Not as much as Google though, so I've been feeling like it's been getting better and better, but it's just a comparative feeling.

I tried to switch to Tidal, but I found their app not as good, their integration with Sonos lacking, and no parental controls, which is important to me. Music selection was pretty good. A lot of niche stuff isn't there, sadly. For example I sometimes listen to college acapella groups, and there just isn't as much there. All the popular music is there though.

Reading the article, you do some registry edits to tell Windows that it's in Europe. Then you uninstall as if you were in Europe. No word on what other consequences this might have.

I don't fully agree with these, but these are the cases I've heard of:

  • Deeper integration with webcams
  • USB authentication devices like Yubikeys

I think these are better served with extensions or specific browser protocols that communicate with native apps in order to keep the crazy web world more isolated from the high-value computer world, but what do I know? My guess is that someone at Google went "You know, we're creating a lot of these specific protocols to communicate with webcams, printers, and now we want to do authentication dongles. You know what? They all use USB? Why don't we just create a general way to access USB?"
