I actually had a problem where on Chrome, I would be signed out of my google account every time I restart my computer, while on Firefox, everything works normally. I use Firefox now lol.

this article has not been edited, is from 2022, and says the feature was rolled out in June.

There’s also viscosity, adhesion

I don’t think red hat is even on the list, so the fact that they’re making even bigger bucks doesn’t really matter.

I would say arch is more of the buzz lightyear shelf meme, you think you’re being unique and cool but really its probably the most popular enthusiast distro

I checked the list of 370k english words I downloaded from github a while ago and yeah, its true other than the variants of homeowner (homeowners, homeownership)

I was looking at some other random words, heres some I found:

• self: weaselfish, damselfish
• eye: greyer, honeyed, journeyed, etc
• bear: beard

this got me interested so I wrote a program to find each time a small word bridges the gap between two larger words in a compound word, honestly the funnier part of its outputs is the weird ‘compound words’ its finding, like “asp: aspirating: as, pirating” or “at: deepseated: deepsea, ted” (ted, apparently, meaning ‘to scatter hay for drying’). Occasionally it finds good ones, like “ices: apprenticeship: apprentice, ship” or “hen: archenemy: arch, enemy”, and it did find the meow one. It does allow the small word to contain the first word in a compound word, because that can still give some interesting ones like “warp: warplanes: war, planes”. It probably would have been a lot better if I had actually used a list of compound words, it tries to find its own very slowly which does allow it to find any possible combination for any word

anyways, here’s the list

Some pride in your country is definitely good, but its equally important (if not more) to notice things that could be improved and examples of other places that do things differently.

lol boeing gets like half of their money from the government, I don’t see the government suing them anytime soon

Check how large your photos library is on your computer. Now wouldn’t it be nice if it was 40% smaller?

jpeg xl lossless is around 50% smaller than pngs on average, which is a huge difference

JPEG XL in lossless mode actually gives around 50% smaller file sizes than PNG

its royalty free and has an open source implementation, what more could you want?

I have a reverb g2 and the only linux projects that support it don’t work with the controllers

Microsoft is going to kill WMR in the next couple years so I’ll probably switch then, luckily it seems like people are working on controller support already so hopefully that’s stable by november 2026

Mozilla could definitely be putting their development time into the areas that the browser is actually behind in

I use firefox, I mostly like it, but it still doesn’t support chromium style tab groups (no, that one extension is not similar), and its webgpu implementation also doesn’t work on most websites more than a year after Google made their version available by default

Read the response from the thing that read the Arch wiki

I got some used chromebooks on Ebay for $40 each (3855u, 4gb ram, 32gb ssd), I would recommend them if you don’t have any money to spend on a laptop. It’s not going to be running anything super demanding, but its shocking how much it can do.

Some things I have run on it and had a decent experience: Blender, FreeCAD, Portal, TMNF through proton, Celeste, Minecraft Java, MuseScore
