I love this, go get that refund! Should have happened a lot earlier though

Lovely feature, been using it for years 👌 I have my calendar, email, homeassistant and zabbix pinned

They also don't move when the normal tab bar becomes scrollable due to too many tabs open, which is pretty neat IMO

I wonder how its packaged too, is winget firing off an MSI in the background with a silent flag?

Not op, but nothing significant IMO unless you're a web developer (in which case it's worth considering using the dev edition instead) or just want the latest features.

The ESR on Debian gets updated reasonably frequently with backported security patches and bug fixes

Happens on both LinkedIn and Instagram, never actually checked what causes it...

Wouldn't be surprised if it's some click event listener firing off a synchronous xhr telemetry request when you close the popup, which freezes the main thread long enough to make the browser think you've selected some text

I was pretty careful in specifically not naming this a "win", just "great". A true "win" would be a recent model as you mention.

Personally however, it's not 1980s/90s anymore where recieving a service manual with your purchased property was the minimum standard - I feel the bar is pretty low in general when discussing companies' attitudes providing owners with the full documentation and firmware for their property

I thought this was noteworthy, taking into account Tesla's previously horrible attitude towards people who repair and rebuild totalled teslas, where the company subsequently remotely disables onboard features such as autopilot and the ability to use a supercharger as soon as they find out. This car has neither of those features of course, but it at least hopefully sets some kind of precedent.

Despite the age and production quantities, it's still extremely rare for any company/manufacturer to actually release these materials to the public IMO - particularly including the firmware and diagnostics tools on GitHub, meaning owners don't need to waste time reverse engineering their own vehicle, or be stuck paying someone else to figure out why it isn't working...

Hopefully this move helps encourage more auto manufacturers to start releasing resources for their vehicles to the public, instead of restricting these to specific dealers (some of which thankfully leak some to the public 👌)

Dbrand has a really strong case here IMO, since they pretty heavily edit the internals and add a few easter eggs, which are still visible in Casetify's final designs

Dbrand discovered Casetify allegedly copied 117 different designs, down to the many digital manipulations it made to the images. Dbrand says it holds registered copyrights for each of these products, all of which were registered before Casetify’s product launch.

Also, TIL:

Disclosure: The Verge recently collaborated with Dbrand on a series of skins and cases

You mean like a share button on a site that opens the lemmy Create Post page, on a user's registered instance, with link address and title pre-filled?

I think the federated nature of Lemmy alone makes this more trouble than it's worth, and you'd need to consider that Lemmy users don't all use the same web interface - some use Photon, some use Mlmym, some use Alexandrite etc. These changes would need to be introduced in each individual one most likely...

I think it's easier just to allow users to share the link to lemmy themselves. On desktop they can copy the link, on mobile they can share to Jerboa or whatever app, just provide the buttons for either I guess

Probably not the answer you want, but if other road users are being dangerous around you then it would be ideal to try and look out for yourself more, if at all possible.

At intersections make sure drivers can see you, when in traffic try and stay visible in their mirrors, avoid blind spots whenever you can, and try to "read" what others are doing with their car - as some won't indicate to show their intentions. Speed is an important one too - if a driver was to righthook/cut you at an intersection, can you evade it or stop in time?

Try and adapt your riding style to a way that allows you to maintain visibility of yourself, and the environment around you on the road - drivers are protected in a metal box, but we aren't

Edit:

The real fix for these issues is separated bike infrastructure IMO, as well as better education for drivers about people on bikes

Release the dogs on them. Live Nation has done nothing but rip off concert goers and harm small bands with their ridiculous fees and contractual venue restrictions, and this is without even touching on the horrible ticket scalping issues that they refuse to do anything about.

If I'm also recalling correctly, if a venue is signed up to Ticketmaster they cannot independently host events - everything has to be done through Ticketmaster 🤦‍♂️
