  • Every picture is just a gif with the same frame repeated over and over.

  • Gif is just an image format. It supports still images, too, and many if not most other image formats also support animations.

    But it is true that with most displays, images are never truly still.

  • Unorganized bookmarks tend to be a lot less useful compared to open tabs once you do actually go back to them. I already organized my tabs when I opened them.

  • Extensions like Tree Style Tabs that display tabs as a vertical list are really good for that, especially if they also let you group the tabs in collapsible sublists. Some browsers have vertical tab bars built in, but it's considerably less useful if you can't collapse part of the list.

  • Firefox plugin that’ll allow me to type parts of the tabs domain or title and it’ll filter the results.

    Is that different from searching all open tabs by typing % [keyword] into the address bar?

  • For research purposes it's usually not necessary to keep every tab loaded, though. Extensions like Auto Tab Discard make open tabs about as resource-intensive as bookmarks, for a lot less extra work and much cheaper than new RAM.

  • You can search specifically for open tabs in Firefox and probably most other browsers (enter % [keyword] in Firefox' address bar). If you tend to have related tabs near it, it's less work than opening all those tabs back up through bookmarks or history.

  • Keeping them open keeps them more visible than if you only rely on bookmarks or browser history. Personally I use a browser extension for vertical tabs (Tree Style Tab) that allows you to make subgroups, which does a great job organizing the tabs - I could replicate something similar with bookmarks, but that would be additional work.

    I also use an extension that automaticaly unloads tabs after a while (you can toggle it off on a per-tab basis, of course), which helps a lot with keeping down resource use.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • and you can sort posts by “latest comment” which replicates the old-school forum experience pretty well, but nobody does it that way

    I do it that way, at least on posts with a manageable amount of comments where I actually care about the content of the comments (e.g. threads about someone asking how to do something).

    Virgin Bloody Mary is really good.

    Or just ... alcohol-free beer.

  • What's an album with a completely unique sound

  • Fingathing and The Big Red Nebula Band by Fingathing. Kind of a big beat/instrumental hiphop thing, the band already has a fairly unique sound but it stands out even in their output.

  • Feature parity or get out

    Jump

  • Pretty much, yes. It also used to be lighter in resource use than GNOME, though IDK if that's still true. XFCE and LXQt are definitely lighter than both Gnome and Plasma, they are a lot more stable in the sense that they don't change that much from release to release, and they play nice with third party window managers (e.g. tiling WMs).

  • Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to surveil everyone? (Is it practial?)

    Jump

  • Does it? OCR is still pretty bad, it's definitely going to be more annoying than plaintext. It might be worth it, but that doesn't really make it that much less of a pain in the ass to deal with. You might need to use symbols that aren't alphanumeric (along the lines of QR codes) to make the conversion to plaintext more reliable. I don't think we have something like that right now.

  • What if you start sending encrypted letters and don't write your name on it anywhere? Though that would definitely be annoying for the recipient.

  • I'd have to change desktop environments, because my current one only has "experimental" support in the latest version, and my distro is years behind, anyway. Your choices are pretty much KDE, Gnome or building your own desktop with a standalone window manager, and I don't like any of those options.

  • Feature parity or get out

    Jump

  • I just don't want to switch out my window manager and all the helper programs that make it work as a full desktop. Currently I just use LXQt+i3wm, and LXQt will take quite a while until it's anywhere near feature parity with Wayland, and AFAIK i3wm doesn't even have plans for a Wayland port (though I know that there's decently similar tiling WMs for Wayland). I don't think any of the oldschool low-resource-intensity desktop environments I'd consider using have a decently feature-complete Wayland port right now.

    It's possible that it's not actually that much work to cobble together a new configuration with a Wayland-compatible tiling WM and a bunch of separate applications for screenshots, clipboard management etc., but I currently don't care to find out.
