I wasn't very happy as a user with an interest in tech/internet history to find my old bookmarks and notes had been hijacked by the new renamed project. The Original Freenet (Hyphanet) was quite interesting. The new one, less so, especially with the name hijacking.

I wanted to host our company wiki in Fossil, but there is no way to import it because Fossil completely separates versioned project docs and the built-in Wiki function. Our git-based wiki could be imported into Fossil as "docs" but would not receive the nice formatting, GUI editor or dedicated page that the Wiki function does. There is also no benefit to manually converting it all to Fossil Wiki as some of our wiki editors work on raw markdown.md files and commit changes by git which is not possible with the Fossil Wiki; everyone would be forced to use the online editor only, whereas currently we have a choice of markdown or Gitea's editor.


Found a link to the Fossil forum thread I opened about this very problem of the split between Fossil Wiki and docs:

I don't understand why browser-makers don't leave window management to the window manager. Split view has been standard in Windows (and probably Linux?) since 2009. I know Mac doesn't really do split windows without additional software, but that's an Apple-being-awkward problem.


just putting windows side by side is not enough. i need to be able to treat those two side by side windows as a unit: see how i use it as an example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47913202

no windowmanager anywhere supports that. even tabs could have been solved by window managers. but then we could not get inactive tabs, and the same is true for the tabs in splitview.

if lack of support for inactive tabs are no issue and if you don't use workspaces much, you could use those as a workaround. but that unfortunately at least gnome workspaces are not flexible enough for that. (i'd need dynamic creation of workspaces without automatic destruction, and i'd need gnome to remember which window goes into which workstation. that used to be a feature on some windowmanagers, but i haven't found any that can distinguish multiple windows from the same app.)


> "This is a quite a unique situation, and I think the young female has a keen eye to actually spot it," [Chris Newman, director of the National Centre for Reptile Welfare, said]

What an odd thing to say.


Why so? It seems both things are true.


I believe the odd part is "young female" phrasing. And I agree, it is odd.


I agree that it is odd, but it is unfortunately a natural consequence of the dilution of the term woman to include people in their 50s that up until yesterday were men.

We need a new term, kind of like how Thailand is handling the situation for so long. It is clear that there cannot be just two genders.


And naturally an article about a misplaced house pet summons commentary on transgender rights.


Someone made a nice player website for the Aadam Jacobs collection (probably vibe-coded): https://aadamjacobs.dunlap.ai/



The Tracy Chapman, and Midnight Oil recordings on there are pretty good:

Visually it seems nice, but seems to be completely missing any volume control button(s) or widgets?


> use the subscription plans you already have, avoid paying for API usage, and keep the setup simple enough that you can try it in a few minutes.

That interested me, but the article does not explain how to do this at all. I was hoping it would tell how use my work's ChatGPT Pro subscription via the CLI without having to pay per token over their API.


> Unused memory is wasted memory.

Why does my computer freeze and become unusable when the RAM is 90%, then? That myth is complete nonsense - RAM is like a seatbelt or a crumple zone, serves as a buffer between the user and crashes, and will hopefully never be tested under use.


Wagic the Homebrew and MtG Forge are both high-quality FOSS Magic the Gathering simulators.


I love the smell of bloatware in the morning


Once installed, I've found Electron installs tend to balloon from 80-200mb (installer) to 1.5GB or more (Electron + dedicated browser cache)
