    I have introduced my son to online Quake III servers where people still play regularly. The Quad Damage voiceover is still cool as hell.

    I have said it before: the only practical solution is two phones. Use a budget one for boring banking and government stuff. Use Linux phone for all that stuff that ad companies are…

    Sometimes there may be keybinding conflicts. Since when we have started to push back on bog standard expectations like usable buttons in a UI?

    I broadly agree with you about improving quality through working together. But even with tons of discussion, they still write code that seems fine from a distance but is weird when…

    I apologize for bringing you to the 29th floor instead of the 3rd floor as you requested. That's on me. I will do better next time.

    Sometimes the payoff is simply feeling good about yourself. Anything extra is just bonus.

    I have used tab groups and found then to be basically eating into horizontal tab space, once I created a bunch. Workspaces don't have that problem. I have tried vertical tabs but n…
