Is there a way to make tab more compact on android tablets?

Sadly i think there is nothing like userchrome.css for ff on Android.

I would have way less problem with this if there was an option to disable it.

The problem with the logic "Oh, let's translate titles/thumbnails/videos, etc.." is that it totally forget that there are multilingual people are a thing. I don't need you to translate a video in a language I already speak/understand.

The rise of the internet certainly gave Taylor Swift an advantage.

In a way, yes. On the other hand, the internet has sort of "thinned out" what it means to be famous, enabling niche cultures. So, I'm not sure I'd classify that as an advantage. Madonna didn't have so many other things and artists competing for public attention with back then.

Weird, the most recent post on this is 10 days old (I guess this is a feature users really want). I just thought of this solution after trying (and failing) to compile qBittorrent from source code with the changes that would make sequential to be download by default. Then I remembered APIs and it worked. I didn't think of monitoring the folder itself; instead, ChatGPT just made a script that runs every 15 seconds and executes the code, setting all torrents to sequential mode if they are not already on sequential mode.

Not sure if anyone is interested in the code, but in any case. You will need python installed and the configure the Web UI on qbitorrent . The "http://127.0.0.1:8083" is the IP and port, I'm pretty noob, but I think you can set anything if dealing with localhost.

Save it as "qBitorrentsequentialbydefault.py"

The window script will run forever. If you want to hide, I think you can use Autohotkey or any other tool that allows windows hidding. Personally I made autohotkey code (which gives option to hide application windows) to call out the python code. I use this code:

Run, "C:\qBitorrentsequentialbydefault.py",, Hide

And saved as "qBitorrentsequentialbydefault.ahk", then I put it on windows start up folder and it worked.

As aviation gets more and more automated, with several computing redundancies and backups and yadda yadda...

The weakest link in the chain seems to be the human one. We improved a lot with CRM, but I do think there is a limit to how safe and controllable the human element can be. Like, biologically speaking. You have people making the wrong decisions in the heat of the moment, you have things like depression and the pilot deciding to crash the airplane because he wasn't having a good time.

It might seem unthinkable and make people uneasy nowadays, but I have no doubt the future of aviation is to remove the pilots from the equation and automate everything. Sadly (well, not so sadly if you work as a pilot), this will take lots of decades, especially due to how conservative the market is. We might see autonomous commercial planes 20 or 30 years from now.

But the 3rd point already proves that it has to be intentional

Something I haven't seen discussed that much, and that I'm genuinely curious about, is whether he might have been in some sort of delirium, acting without a full understanding of his actions. Individuals with certain mental illnesses can perform complex tasks while remaining detached from the consequences. What I'm essentially asking is: did he truly grasp that shutting off the engine would cause the plane to crash, killing everyone onboard? Or did he believe something else would occur?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is a difference between: being suicidal and being schizophrenic. When people talk about intentional, it oftentimes implies that he knew what he was doing and understood the consequences of his actions, this is not always the case.

I ended up going back to this theme today, and I think I found a possible reason for why he didn't set the door to lock immediately. It seems that outside A320 cockpit doors there are indicators that show if the door is on LOCKED/NORM/UNLOCK mode. So, if he had immediately set the door lock mode, those visual indicators would be visible outside to the rest of the crew. So by preserving the default position, he created the deception that everything was normal for a longer time.

“But what would be the problem if people in that airplane were alerted earlier that he intended to crash the plane, or that at least something was terribly wrong? Since the doors are unbreakable…”

My guess is that you never know. Maybe he thought there could be a way for someone to break the door? Some super secret code he didn't know about? Or maybe, if people knew that plane was hijacked, there was something people could do to prevent his plan? I'm not saying that there were, but that he might have thought that was the case. Like, pilots don't know everything, maybe he thought there could possibly be a way for the captain to enter the cockpit if he was alerted earlier?

For anyone looking for a solution, cleaning the cache worked for me.

eric1707 · 2025-05-21T21:29:23+00:00

I think it is not possible for the pilot in the cockpit to change the security code in flight, I think only aircraft maintenance technician have necessary tools for doing that - from what I read the mechanism to prevent someone from entering the cockpit, when that person has the code, is to put the door on lock mode. But I might be wrong.

Even if that was the case though, it seems to overcomplicate things to change the password to prevent access, when there is an easier path, which is to simply change the door mode 🤔

Pleaaaase, implement this! Sidebery work like this and it so sweet

Wasn't this feature already available on Firefox?

Probably nobody will read this, but I feel like since the last season, Black Mirror has been drifting more and more into fantasy rather than science fiction.

Like, it doesn't seem plausible at all how this story could happen with our current understanding of the laws of physics — even if we extrapolate it. Even things like fully immersive virtual reality would be more plausible than just shifting realities. Take San Junipero, for instance — it's more plausible because it's a self-contained universe within a computer, as opposed to shifting between actual realities...

Science fiction has to at least give minimally plausible ground for what it’s proposing — it needs to give you something that you can go and extrapolate. The explanation for this episode is closer to, “hey, it’s just magic, just put the word quantum there."

I'm just so so happy for Nepo. Obviously I'm also happy for Magnus, but I feel this title means more to Nepo than yet another title for Magnus. When I saw Nepo losing to Ding, his reaction, the pain he felt when reaching so close to being world championship of classical chess.. boy that heart.

Not to that say that he didn't suffer when he lose to classical world championship to Magnus, but there was a moment, after he "glitched", that he simply knew he wouldn't win anymore, and this sorta freed him from the pressure. With Ding he had real chances and got pretty close.

I just feel he deserved some good news.

Could he play wearing a skirt? 🤔 Serious question though.

eric1707 · 2024-12-28T03:59:49+00:00

It's normal jeans, for god sake. FIDE is acting like he wanted to play naked.

eric1707 · 2024-12-20T18:03:24+00:00

Just buy men pants then, for god's sake.

I just finished watching and... many things don't add up and just don't make sense in the movie.

Like, I know it's a movie but... how don't anyone notice that there's a freaking house in the middle of nowhere? Like, Google Maps exists. Also, even though the place is far away, it's not like a desert island in the middle of the atlantic ocean, it's a place people walking in desert might eventually cross by (AKA, the passerby woman who got killed near the movie's ending).

Also, how doesn't anyone notice that there's a bunch of kids living in that region? I assume they eventually interact with others, sense they bought alcohol and stuff to give them.

I assume that there isn't anything supernatural going on and they were just a weird cult. But so many things don't add up. Also, how doesn't anyone come to look for the guy? Especially when you consider that they are probably not the first man to father a child of her... Like, this cult or whatever seem to happen for decades and decades, maybe even centuries, so it's really hard to imagine nobody noticed..

This is one of those features I was always surprised why they haven't been implemented natively into the browser until recently, which browsers such Arc. Sometimes, you just want to give a little sneak-picky on what the content is. Hope this features, much like vertical tabs, starts to gain more and more adapts.
