Doesn't ctrl+/ select all in either GTK key theme?

Unfortunately, GTK 4 has removed key themes. Eventually, Firefox, Chrom(e|ium) and all actual GTK applications will migrate to GTK 4, so this is not very future-proof. I use a vari…

In-person meetings are completely different. Video conferences are as if everybody were potentially constantly staring at you, but you couldn't tell if or when this was the case, a…

Pledged.

I'm not disagreeing that (in these scenarios) EB would probably become paid-for, while Chrome never would. I'm just arguing that Chrome would become even more privacy- and user-unf…

Doesn't the same also partially hold for Firefox and Chrome, though? They wouldn't start charging for Chrome, as that's not their business model, but they might move part of their …

Encyclopedia Britannica[0] isn't free ("libre"), but it is now free (gratis). Arguably, being libre isn't quite as indispensable in the case of cultural/educational works as it is …

I'm not OP, (and people at Mozilla have probably already considered this), but why doesn't Mozilla try a far more aggressive Wikipedia-like donation campaign? Admittedly: 1. Wikipe…

Unfortunately, that's not what OP wants. What OP wants is that when they scroll, the position of the cursor remains at the same position in the buffer (the contents), even when tha…

> On linux you can use SM via vmware/wine To add to this, there's a set of Winetricks recipes for running SM on Linux.[0] (Disclaimer: I haven't tried them, though I've been planni…

XMonad's[0] default behaviour of being able to separately tell a program to go "fullscreen" (i.e. hide most UI) and control what portion of the screen its window takes up is extrem…

> NflxMultiSubs is still working. I wrote a patch to fix it, and took over maintence on Chrome. That's great! It's a shame that it's (apparently) no longer open source, though obvi…

I second the mpv-based solution, as suggested by st1ck. If you prefer vlc, it now (as of the beta 4.0.0)[0] also supports dual/secondary subtitles. Making it work seems a bit fiddl…

Weirdly, it seems[0][1][2], that the layout doesn't do particularly well by Carpalx's keyboard effort estimator[3], as it gets a total effort score of 2.260, compared to 3, 2.098 a…

They dropped their implementation of MathML in 2013. In the six years since then, they didn't fix it or replace it with a better one. I'm extremely excited by Igalia's work on Math…

> Super-W closing a single tab in Firefox If, in about:config, you set ui.key.accelKey to 91, then Super-W will close a single tab (and Super-T will open a single tab etc.). This o…

Celestia[0][1] can just about do it. In principle, it can show you what you'd see from any point in space. In practice, it's limited by the data it has (for stars, it uses the Hipp…

This is an interesting, thought-provoking comment! > (though the original MathML proponents perhaps did not) FWIW I'm pretty sure that they did. Arguments to authority are pretty t…

How's it worse? In either case, you can use TeX as your input, and if you do, you have to convert it, client-side or browser-side, into something usable by the browser; it's just t…

Pandoc and Mediawiki have been able to convert embedded LaTeX to MathML, for a while. Once Chromium supports MathML most CMSs will probably start providing suitable converters, and…

XML is faster and far simpler to parse than TeX. To the extent that you need to (if for whatever reason you don't want to rely on a LaTeX to MathML or Ascii to MathML converter) yo…
