Assassinations usually make things worse. Just look at what happened to the string of coups in South Vietnam during the Vietnam war.
Or, can you think of a time when assassination actually did improve matters?

Bravo, blazera. It's always nice to see some concern for the truth on the internet. I mean this very unsarcastically.
I don't think I've ever seen somebody publicly changing their mind on the internet until I came here. Perhaps there is something special about lemmy.
The internet needs more of this. Maybe lemmy can amplify public mind changings like this somehow...

Yep. I read a quotation from this show elsewhere. I thought it couldn't be right, so I found the show and listened, looking for perhaps some missing context that might soften the quotation a little. No. Just no. No amount of context can ameliorate the terribleness of Lindsey Graham.

Do I have to post an image? Is the OP's image an example of what to do or what not to do?

How many characters would I be moderating? I believe in structured moderation, where I am only required to monitor the interactions of the same 32 or so characters in this community. Moderators under this system work together by not monitoring each other's characters. So, that works out to a strict 32:1 character:mod ratio.

You only saw the tabs open on this workspace.
But yeah I don't have hundreds of tabs open. It is incompatible with my workflow. Only the "tabs" directly relevant to whatever is currently happening in the current workspace are kept open.
A link either gets read or it doesn't. If I don't have time to read a link somebody sends me personally, I just tell them that. I don't string anybody along about a link I know I will never read. I can't allow for any link backlog. That leads to . . . dark places.
Also, I don't really use bookmarks either. When I disable search suggestions and use firefox suggest, it leave more space for history. It works so well I don't really need to bookmark anything. Frequently opened sites make their way to the top on their own.
In the image, these are not tabs. These are firefox windows, being rendered as tabs (and as stacks) by sway. I just switched to sway, and found that browser tabs no longer make sense. They were designed in the UI dark ages to make up for how terrible Windows XP's WM was. Now, though, sway can do tabs just as well as firefox can, and sometimes, even better. It is better to unify the management of all windows under a single WM, rather than this ad hoc mixture of the real, global WM, and a fake firefox-only (or terminal-only) WM. That way, all windows are managed with a single set of keyboard shortcuts. I also found firefox's toolbar to be way too thick. So, I used `userChrome.css` to hide the tab bar and adjust the toolbar's height: ``` /* Hide the tab bar. */ #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse !important; } /* Adjust the toolbar height. */ #urlbar-container { --urlbar-container-height: var(--tbh) !important; } #urlbar { --urlbar-toolbar-height: var(--tbh) !important; --urlbar-height: var(--tbh) !important; } :root { --tbh: 26px !important; /* ToolBar Height. Adjust this one. */ --toolbarbutton-inner-padding: calc((var(--tbh) - 16px)/2) !important; --toolbarbutton-outer-padding: 0px !important; --toolbar-start-end-padding: 0px !important; --urlbar-margin-inline: 0px !important; } ``` Put this file at `<profile root>/chrome/userChrome.css`. You'll probably have to make the `chrome` directory. Then, in about:config, set `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` to `true`, to get firefox to read `userChrome.css`. Oh, and don't forget to tell firefox to open new pages in new windows instead of new tabs. I have also found it useful to map the `firefox` command to `Super-C`, so that I can make a new firefox window without needing to have some other firefox window already in focus. I have *also* found it useful to keep an empty firefox window open in some unused workspace on its own, so that after I close what I didn't realise was the last open firefox window, firefox does not close entirely.

It did last time I tried compiling AOSP. At least on the default settings. After I told the build system not to try building in parallel, I got that number down to 8 gigs. Still way too high. There's no way anybody could develop AOSP on a phone.

Those quote marks around the 'wins' are just great.
This is (another!!) one of Drew Devault's projects. Like harelang, it would be a gigantic simplification of existing software. And yes, it is written in harelang. It was originally a test to see whether harelang could be used for OS development. (It can.)

The same applies to Android OS development. All of it. Android requires a very powerful 1000 USD desktop or laptop computer with 20 gigs of ram and 200 gigs of SSD hard drive space just to compile. This is unacceptable.
Meanwhile, mainline phone linux, like dreemurrs archlinux or postmarketos, can be developed using the same phone it runs on!!!!!!!! All you need is a 20 USD bluetooth keyboard. It is fully awesome. Imagine a world where anybody with just a smartphone and a bluetooth keyboard could be an OS developer!

Wow, that's awesome! I mean yeah I'm sorry to hear your ink faded in the heat, but at least some good came out of it: that's a whole new mode of failure I didn't know about. Hey, maybe I'll try putting a test page in the oven's warming drawer or something.

Oh, neat, Mastodon! I didn't know for sure whether this was reaching Mastodon. I only posted the one image. I didn't know I could post multiple images. Now, I know not to try, for compatibility reasons.

Navalnyi's finest hour. May he rise again in three days.
This one isn't in plaintext this time. I learned from last time that there are issues displaying plaintext on a phone, where there isn't any guarantee of 80 available columns. I thought that wasn't a tall order, but it turns out, it is. Also, I really wanted links. And I'm sorry I was so late in posting this. I have trouble finishing things...
I'm going to be living in Jyväskylä for about two months. I will be arriving in October. Anybody here living there right now?
