Thorium Reader is what I used, both on Windows and Linux

pretty much every war movie

the classics have got Saving Private Ryan, Nolan’s got Dunkirk, Best Cinematography’s got 1917, Ghibli’s got Grave of the Fireflies (released same day as Totoro even)…

for anti-war that’s not depressing, there’s also AFAIK the over-the-top Helldivers

for things that feel “clean” instead of bloody there’s the elegant video game Nier: Automata

what does that mean

to be precise: not exactly shut down, but made it really expensive

literally 1984

I consider multitasking a discrete part of the OS, not Liquid Glass. i do have some thoughts on it though

for what it’s worth there are gestures they don’t tell you that make the multitasking so much easier: toggle maximization by tapping the top of the window, and then as they mention you can snap it to either side by smashing the window in a direction

also they added back drag and drop to Split View in iPadOS 26.2. after three months they finally have a stable release of this multitasking thing

I have found multitasking useful especially with stage manager, but I completely understand those who don’t like it and just want an option to restore the old multitasking. I also miss Quick Notes (workaround through a shortcut button just isn’t the same)

i find it great on the iphone too, especially with the new swipe interaction to go between tabs (not the safari kind; like in the app store swiping from today to apps). the cornering of buttons works wonders. plus i personally dig the aesthetic though i understand a ton of people don’t

ah i have had that happen before lol. it does copy spaces but it doesn’t overwrite your main clipboard so i don’t have qualms about it. every app you’d expect to support middle-mouse drag except notepad/gedit/kwrite/etc supports it instead of pasting unless you use chromium without the relevant extension or remain static over a textbox.

it did make things feel better and easier-to-interact though … on the touchscreen ipad. it looks like hell on macbook

“hard to justify”, on par with “mostly harmless” turn-of-phrase (9)—ＷＯＮＤＥＲＦＵＬ

(i mean like the expression itself lol i love it i’m stealing it; my goodness what have they done with the menus)

interesting; how does one copy from an empty field by accidnet? /geniunely curious and oblivious

but it’s quite intuitive to realize what it does

laddies and gents we’re going back to afghanistan

It’s not just about digital privacy. It never talks about data privacy. It’s about consumer protection and social media’s nature being harmful. The only European law violations mentioned are anti-scamming + “𝕏 refuses to make its public data available to researchers”. It’s also explicitly in favor of KOSA, which lets the FTC ban anything it wants from children’s eyes online. It’s quite implied that the article supports banning social media for youth.

Is comparing social media to a dangerous drug over the top? Not according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s office, which in 2023 released an advisory titled “Social Media and Youth Mental Health” (download it now before RFK Jr. suppresses it!), which summarized extensive evidence of mental health damage to children and adolescents who consume excessive amounts of social media.

Okay, that comparison’s still wayyyy over-the-top.

Apparently I was wrong: Most heart attacks are caused by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease . The article says that Bernie Sanders doesn’t have heart disease nor familial history of it, though. Hope you live long!

A heart attack is not an ailment. It’s like getting bruised: certain people in certain situations are more likely to get it, but it’s not a disease or condition and just randomly happens. everybody gets heart attacks

most of my friends who grew up there never noticed the absence of the e until a spellcheck pointed it out, same might go for you too

it’s not just legal usage; in AmE it’s supposed to not have an e anywhere

interesting. a quote from the oxford style guide mentioned (for BrE, of course):

• judgement (moral, academic etc)
• judgment (legal decision only)

the guide’s own wording also says “… moral judgement”. so according to oxford legal decisions can be called “judgments” but everything else should be called “judgements”?
