Today's new bit of Firefox UI clutter https://superuser.com/questions/1750467/how-can-i-remove-firefoxs-list-all-tabs-button

(I'm sure it's useful to some but I have few enough tabs I can see them all just fine.)

@hollie Looked up my apartment building here and it seems to be around 910 feet. https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/

@hollie My off the cuff guess is that it'd be easiest to look up a topographic map that includes the house.

Huh. I think maybe my "choice" between unsustainable stress levels from existing on the road with cars, or relying entirely on walking+public transit, isn't really a choice so much as society disabling me.

@lioness This is just real life. -Bunni, an introject

Highly recommended. It's a grid puzzle sort of game where you pick up spells that you can then activate by moving in a specific pattern. I don't want to spoil it, but it's much longer and deeper than it first appears.

@Kroppeb Except I just inherited this code. I have to continue working with it.

Love reading a new codebase to understand it and immediately finding 2 bugs. 😭

@b0rk Dunno because that sounds like exactly the sort of thing I would do and get confused about and forget.

Why didn't anyone tell me growing up that imagination is basically cheat codes for the brain?

@b0rk I do. It was kinda just the default when I started, and I never really thought about learning alternatives.

@b0rk If there are 2 filenames with a common prefix followed by a character that needs escaped, tab completion won't escape it for you.

I've also had issues with distos installing "bash-completion" by default, which tries to be smart but sometimes gets in the way and removes filenames you want from consideration.

@voltagex Thankfully CodeWeavers is supporting me in this, it wouldn't be possible otherwise.

@voltagex There's nothing for Mono specifically, but Winehq accepts donations through SFC: https://www.winehq.org/donate

It was just pointed out to me: keeping Mono maintained is important for preservation. .NET Framework images can't always be recompiled. That's most obvious with Wine, but sometimes upstream Mono is used for that too.

This has been in the works since April: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/21796

I'm not explicitly mentioned in the post, but effectively the maintainer duties for the Mono project now fall on me. It sort of worked out that Wine Mono (which I maintain) became the primary user of Mono that hadn't moved to modern .NET, with the other common use case being winforms on Linux. I might be the only person left who cares enough and has the generalist knowledge to muddle through.

Thinking how cool it'd be to like, shed a bunch of possessions and have a seasonal living arrangement: winters here, summers visiting people throughout the country and working remote (ideally sharing with someone so housing isn't wasted). Probably never going to happen, but it'd be cool.

(I'm about to go visit someone and it's so much easier in summer.)
