Gif is just an image format. It supports still images, too, and many if not most other image formats also support animations.

But it is true that with most displays, images are never truly still.

Unorganized bookmarks tend to be a lot less useful compared to open tabs once you do actually go back to them. I already organized my tabs when I opened them.

Extensions like Tree Style Tabs that display tabs as a vertical list are really good for that, especially if they also let you group the tabs in collapsible sublists. Some browsers have vertical tab bars built in, but it’s considerably less useful if you can’t collapse part of the list.

Firefox plugin that’ll allow me to type parts of the tabs domain or title and it’ll filter the results.

Is that different from searching all open tabs by typing % [keyword] into the address bar?

For research purposes it’s usually not necessary to keep every tab loaded, though. Extensions like Auto Tab Discard make open tabs about as resource-intensive as bookmarks, for a lot less extra work and much cheaper than new RAM.

You can search specifically for open tabs in Firefox and probably most other browsers (enter % [keyword] in Firefox’ address bar). If you tend to have related tabs near it, it’s less work than opening all those tabs back up through bookmarks or history.

Keeping them open keeps them more visible than if you only rely on bookmarks or browser history. Personally I use a browser extension for vertical tabs (Tree Style Tab) that allows you to make subgroups, which does a great job organizing the tabs - I could replicate something similar with bookmarks, but that would be additional work.

I also use an extension that automaticaly unloads tabs after a while (you can toggle it off on a per-tab basis, of course), which helps a lot with keeping down resource use.

Seems like that would massively depend on the length of your hair.

USA during WW2: concentration camp. Only for the Japanese, though, Germans were A-OK!

Does it? OCR is still pretty bad, it’s definitely going to be more annoying than plaintext. It might be worth it, but that doesn’t really make it that much less of a pain in the ass to deal with. You might need to use symbols that aren’t alphanumeric (along the lines of QR codes) to make the conversion to plaintext more reliable. I don’t think we have something like that right now.

What if you start sending encrypted letters and don’t write your name on it anywhere? Though that would definitely be annoying for the recipient.

Well, if not talking about disability is more important to her than getting more money … though she sounds like the type who will just pester you for additional money if she falls short.

Oh yeah. It sucks trying to search for tips, solutions etc. when you only know the localized terms, and it’s rare that help resources in different languages are even somewhat useful and up-to-date.

Also, localized voice acting tends to be lame. For one reason or another they’re rarely as good as the original ones. Conversely, I found that German voice acting for games that were originally written in German can be quite good - it seems that localization just doesn’t have the same energy as the original.

I suppose I’m relatively spoiled as a German.

FAAMG or whatever they call themselves now) are now laying off massive amounts of workers to replace them with poorly implemented AI.

I do remember setting my webbrowser to English to avoid YouTube’s absurd automatic title translations, and that was before the LLM hype …

Other countries pass laws that require big majorities all the time. Why are 40+% of senators against it in the first place?

Trying to identify the one issue that prevents sensible laws seems like a fool’s errand to me.

Fairly obvious if you grew up in a non-anglophone country. It’s part of the reason why certain kinds of people set their machines to English even if everything is localized well. And it’s not just error messages, most of the good learning material is in English, too, especially for niche or very recent software.

Makes me wonder what kind of device you’re using in the shower, though.

Same with Robert ‘Muller’. His name’s spelled Mueller, so by German language rules it would seem it should be pronounced ‘Müller’ (‘ue’ in English being a substitute for the umlauted ‘u’).

This one gets a pass from me because the German vowel “ü” doesn’t exist in English. Are you going to complain to ze Germans that they can’t natively pronounce the th, too?

Israel is in Asia.

In February 2024, Epstein, along with four other Jewish elected officials from New York (Liz Krueger, Brad Hoylman-Sigal, Brad Lander and Lincoln Restler), signed an open letter on the Gaza war. The letter condemned Hamas and other groups in the Middle East for attacking Israel and seeking to foment antisemitism and anti-Zionism around the world, while also criticizing the Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu for civilian deaths in Gaza, its settlement policy in the West Bank, and leniency towards violence by Israeli settlers. The letter’s signatories called for the Israeli government to prioritize negotiations to release hostages held in Gaza and voiced support for a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[6]

Seems like a somewhat decent guy for a politician, too.
