Gimp's single window mode was made the default years ago now, so that's not a great example anymore - there's scientific software that uses that paradigm that might work better, but most of that isn't OSS. Also, Libreoffice being slow and having bad font rendering seems pretty inline with Word nowadays...

> Gimp's single window mode was made the default years ago now

Good to hear. I use GIMP pretty seldomly and that was always the first menu option I had to hunt down.


Oh, I see Google's angle now. They want to make android a viable desktop OS in order to have more users using android Chrome rather than Windows Chrome, because the former lacks extension support, and thus ad blockers. Of course, you can still install brave or kiwi browser or Firefox to your heart's content, but most people won't. It's brilliantly simple. It's not too bad for power users, they'll probably use a different browser, or for developers, given the work they're putting into the Linux containers, but for most users...we'll see the expected result.

This shows a version of Chrome with extensions.

> The Google Chrome interface mostly aligns with the current large-screen Android version except for the Extensions button, which is currently only available on the desktop browser.


Wow, I don't know how I missed that. Guess that theory goes out the window!

Murder can easily be brought up as a state charge, which cannot be pardoned by the president. Only governors can pardon state charges.

I truly did not get that complaint until I left the NY/NJ area. Wow, it is shocking how bad restaurants are here in the US outside of a few regions. It makes me realize why so many New Jerseyans end up coming back!


The bad food is a plus. The most orderly civilizations generally have the blandest food. Almost all societies with good food are chaotic and disorderly. This is true even within the US—nobody raves about the food in Vermont or Utah—and nobody raves about how clean and orderly New Jersey is.


What the fuck is the purpose of having a civilization if everyone lives like a puritan instead of enjoying their lives, also Japan exists to disprove this


Japan is blessed with incredible natural ingredients, but it's famously mild and light on seasoning compared to other Asian cuisines. There's a whole historical tradition as to why Japanese food avoids strong flavors: https://www.sushiya.de/en/washoku/shojin-ryori/


You don't enjoy the food in so called 'Real America'? Taco Bell and Wendys are all a MAGA needs so its good.


Bad and expensive.


If you were right, it wouldn't be so egregious. Unfortunately, due to lower hiring standards, expedited processes, and a general nonchalance towards the law, plenty of legal immigrants, green card holders, and even natural-born citizens have been wrongfully arrested by ICE because they fit the profile of who they're looking for. Just look up "ICE deports legal immigrant", and you'll find dozens and dozens of stories about various cases involving it.

And regardless of if it's intentional, if it's negligence, if it's just an acceptable margin of error, either way, if you're a legal immigrant, you very much do still have to worry about ICE.


Yeah, that's what the attendant is paid to do (I live in New Jersey). They've tried many times to make self-serve gas legal here, and I won't have it!


No, they also manipulate these people and convince them into doing terror attacks they otherwise wouldn't. Essentially, the FBI radicalizes them, encourages them to do terror attacks, and gives them the means, then "stops them". It's a disgusting pattern of behavior. Had the FBI not been involved, they would not be dangerous.


Yeah, just IntelliJ and PyCharm (it's in the IntelliJ repo), that is correct.


The two cents are not literally monetary - your opinion is literally the two cents. You're contributing your understanding to the shared pot of understanding and that's represented by putting money into the pot, showing you have skin in the game. It's contributing to a larger body of knowledge by putting your small piece in - the phrases you suggest don't have that context behind them and in my opinion are worse for it. The beauty of the phrase is because the two cents are your opinion, everyone has enough, because everyone can have an opinion.

The lens through which you're analyzing the phrase is coloring how you see it negatively, and the one I'm using is doing the opposite. There is no need to change the phrase, just how it's viewed, I think.


And if the button doesn't work, what should pedestrians do?


Walk? Waymo already stops at crosswalks (marked or unmarked) if a pedestrian looks like they are crossing or starting to cross. That is more than I can say for human drivers. I’m confused why you don’t think this is just a win for pedestrians given how messed up things are now.
