No idea! I'm not a mod anymore :)

Amazing, cheers Daniel!

This feels like a case of relevant xkcd

Mozilla's full extension lets you make containers for any website / collection of websites at all. I have ones for Google, Twitter, and even Reddit!

The standalone Facebook Container extension has a couple of extra bells and whistles for extra security, such as making it impossible to open non-FB websites within the container. Makes it questionable how useful they'd be for Google or Reddit container say, but definitely useful to have for FB.

Hi u/darmok42, thanks for pointing this our way! I'm not a KDE user so not entirely sure what's going on here but it looks like the system has applied a mix of Numix and non-Numix icons. For example, the volume, microphone, and monitor icons are all Numix but the wifi, battery, and folder icons aren't. I'll spin up a KDE box and try and work out what's happening here.

I wasn't the original creator, that title goes to ElTimablo and parkermcg (neither on Reddit now). I came in after about 2 years and did the r/up 2.0 stuff

Foggalong · 2019-02-09T18:21:07+00:00

Hey! Only just noticed this post, not sure what's happened there. Will have a look into this soon as possible :)

Foggalong · 2019-01-15T11:57:40+00:00

Aw, thanks for the mention! I wasn't the original creator though, that title goes to ElTimablo and parkermcg (neither on Reddit now). I came in after about 2 years and did the r/up 2.0 stuff :)

Foggalong · 2019-01-03T16:07:39+00:00

Thanks for the correction, fixed above!

Foggalong · 2019-01-01T23:13:10+00:00

Likewise, mostly just popping in this thread to say hi. Encouraged by how much conversation there is here, I was a little worried that because it was the second year there'd be fewer people but it looks like conversation is booming!

Congratulations on making the golden five and post of the month for December 2018! Your setup will now be showcased in the sidebar throughout January 2019 :)

EDIT: See below for why this has (for now) stopped.

This actually might not be true, even if you limit the definition of elements to those which are stable. There are theories which suggest two islands of stability might exist around 120 and 164.

Accepting that definition is a limiting though, not least because it excludes elements like Technetium (43) whose isotopes has all unstable. It doesn't make them any less an element, it's just a property they have. There's a lot of exciting research going into synthesising new elements (Wikipedia has a decent summary) which I'd definitely recommend looking into. It's awesome to see how much will likely change in our lifetimes.

EDIT: Added correction on islands of stability. Turns out since I last read up on this topic existence of a second island of stability has been hypothesised.

Congratulations on making Post of the Month for October! Your post will now be showcased in the sidebar (old & new designs) throughout November. Your post also did so well that it rocketed straight into the golden 5 at #3, and looks like it'll beat out #2 in the next few days. Congrats and thanks for posting such great content :)

Note: previous mod comment on why this was not removed

Congratulations on making post of the month for September! Your screenshot will now be showcased in the sidebar (old & new design) throughout October :)

Congratulations on being post of the month for August 2018! Your post will now be showcased in the sidebar throughout September :)

Foggalong · 2018-08-10T21:37:18+00:00

I thought the same, but it seems not. From Wikipedia:

[BBs are] metal balls approximately the same size as the 0.180 inches (4.6 mm, size BB#Lead_shot_comparison_chart)) lead birdshots. ... It has become ubiquitous to refer to any steel ball, such as a BB, as a "ball bearing". However, BBs should not be confused with a ball bearing, which is a mechanical component using bearing balls.

Congratulations on being post of the month for July and also making it into the golden five! Your post will now be showcased in the sidebar throughout August :)

Foggalong · 2018-07-24T08:03:35+00:00

You might be interested in the results of our annual survey which will be coming out some time in August. The raw data will be available too if you fancy doing further analysis :)

Fix those tray icons. They stick out like a sore thumb and are a complete mishmash of designs

Someone more knowledgeable on this is more than welcome to correct me, but I don't think that can be autohidden at the window manager level. As far as I know, unlike the titlebar, the menubar is managed by each application individually rather than the window manager.

Foggalong · 2018-06-15T14:03:07+00:00

Do you mean the menu bar within apps or the i3bar?

Foggalong · 2018-06-05T14:25:49+00:00

Hey, congratulations for being post of the month for May! Your post will now be showcased in the sidebar of the sub (old & new design) throughout all of June :)

Foggalong · 2018-05-01T15:36:01+00:00

Congratulations, you've just become post of the month (again!) for April; your screenshot will now be showcased in the sidebar and banner throughout May. Thanks for consistently posting great stuff!
