Unused RAM is wasted RAM ❤️

Shit, I never thought about it that way, but you may be onto something here. Not only tabs were heavy, they weren’t isolated into processes in most early implementations (IIRC that was the big Chrome selling point early on) and could crash your whole browser, so it made me extremely nervous opening too many tabs as I could lose it all with one error.

Funny. In French, we call it a “pronom impersonnel”, meaning non-personal pronoun.

Eh I’m not hard set on full spec compliance. I use ZSH, it’s not technically POSIX compliant but close enough that I virtually never have to think about it. Technically correct would probably have been “sh derivative” or something.

Pretty much my situation. Work stuff, Windows machine, but Linux/Docker workflow and I refuse to let go of my POSIX shell.

Fuuuuck I rented that game so much back then. If it wasn’t available every other weekend at my local video store it was 100% my fault.

I think it’s at the very least true in the sense they’re both things many people can’t afford

You’ve never put your head under water?

Vance's liking of Yarvin Curtis' NRx philosophy, which openly dreams of neomonarchist technocracy[0], Peter Thiel's funding and support of both Curtis/Nrx and this administration[1][2], this administration's ties to Project 2025[3], including the lovely Russell Vought[4], hat's planned in it for the first 6 months of Trump's term in terms of getting rid of democratic safeguards, dismantling government institutions and concentrating power into the executive[5], is already well under way to execute[6]... Combine all this with the things he's been doing publically, like aligning with Putin, and threatening Canada's and Mexico's annexation over a couple of pounds of fentanyl and the trade agreements he signed himself 9 years ago, the constant barrage of executive orders, many found inconstitutional, but in such a volume that it's completely overwhelming appeal courts, and Trump directly threatening judges not to cross him... I don't know how you manage to call any of this "fear mongering", when it's all just things they themselves said and did. The only variable I can see here is how you interpret all of this, and I don't understand how one can both support democracy and think what they're doing is not completely messing with its very safeguards.

Wait till they officially start calling for a constitutional amendments and they suddenly start losing some of their own rights. But by then who knows what it’s gonna look like.

It’s all gonna hinge on the next couple of weeks/months with Trump, IMHO. His (probably perceived) handling of the situation, and how much he can limit the damage for your average voter will probably dictate the results.
