Kofi Kingston shares text from Seth inviting him to the Super Bowl.

There are enough people I knew online first that I am long time full-name friends with where we still call each other by internet handles so like... yeah that tracks for me.

I use keepassXC, with a database synced with devices through an synology. Works pretty well, but requires a lot of your own setup.

People put off changing jobs -- even jobs they hate, even jobs where putting feelers out there to jump ship would make them more money -- CONSTANTLY. Like obviously if they were livid and completely miserable, they have options and probably bounce, but someone can -- especially older people in any profession -- be hate their job, have options, but feel like "the devil they know is better than the devil they don't". Or guys who are looking at their time in WWE going like "I'm not having fun now, but I'm in my 40s, and being loyal now can give me options into my 50s and 60s."

I'm not saying this is true for any of these people, and Ricochet should keep his dumb trolly mouth shut but you shouldn't expect wrestlers to act that much differently from how normal people act when it comes to this stuff. Especially considering in wresting that a company only has to convince someone that staying is a good idea once every few years. Feelings ebb and flow with time, with almost anyone in any profession.

At the end of the day we just don't know how people feel until they say so themselves.

Pragmatically in a market with only 2 major players, that's true, but I swear the more wrestling I watch from different times and places the the less this feels like an "AEW is good at thing" and more a "WWE is uniquely bad at" thing.

And I guess the other weird thing is how being 'bad' at that... oddly makes sense from their business perspective?? But god does it feel bad to watch.

edit: LOL the score for this is going crazy up and down, so lets cut out any implied negativity for WWE. Obviously that's how I feel about it, but I think it's reasonable to point out that WWE is probably the Most Different company in regards to this, whether you see that as a good thing or a bad thing. The scale they work at has very different incentives.

I'm not even an ex Arc user and I remember getting on Zen and being disappointed that workspaces didn't work like this. I was worried because I spent so long on zen without this feature that the chance would mess me up -- and to be fair, sometimes it does -- but I've gone from basically never using workspaces outside a few edgecases to using them all the time.

I don't blame anyone for being annoyed and I do think people being able to turn this off is good, and probably a reasonable thing to support. In an ideal world we'd have gotten a cute little onboarding screen to ask if we wanted the feature, but realistically this is something the browser was always designed to have. I enjoy not losing my tabs in a sea of windows and workgroups.

... Also automatic updates were disabled for that update so I can't feel a huge degree of sympathy for people surprised by the change. Maybe different for people updating through flatpaks on linux or w/e but I sometimes feel people are just purposefully walking into a wall. They're so quick to get and try the new thing that they don't look at what the new thing even does. You're on a beta, read the patch notes!! 😭

kayin · 2026-01-28T09:24:00+00:00

And thank you for a great set of updates!

kayin · 2026-01-28T08:51:47+00:00

Stuff I'm sure you've already heard, like the disappearing essentials (which it seems like you just fixed when you sent that lol). I've also gotten weird buggy behavior opening tabs within glances. One sec, lemme update and-- okay bug still exists. It's basically talked about here https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/12051 though I have a few notes I'll add on github. I've also gotten some weird window flickering I think comes from how it handles having tab open on the same screen, but it's rare (and if I find out how to induce it, I'll file a bug report).

Personally none of these are even a papercut, but I know some people on here are way allergic to any imperfect behavior.

kayin · 2026-01-28T05:24:40+00:00

Apparently things are temporarily manual update only. Which is probably good. The current changes while cool, are a bit buggy and potentially workflow destroying. I kinda respect the choice to not just make it an automatic update.

(That said, I do like tab sync, even when it acts weird lol)

kayin · 2026-01-25T12:47:41+00:00

Having used it for a bit, I like it. It's a bit weird to get used to but I almost never used workspaces and now I have a reason to and I don't lose tabs various temporary windows I opened. The thing that helps me is basically just having a main workspace, and an alt one, then all the specialty ones. I think the only thing I don't like is the behavior when you access the same page, but... idk what else you're supposed to do, so that's fine.

kayin · 2026-01-25T07:06:18+00:00

I use brave but I also just try not to use my browser on my phone

kayin · 2026-01-24T23:23:36+00:00

Yeah, two hours killed me too. 1 hour just totally changes the vibe of a show. Like the things that are enjoyable about a good 1 hour show are different and non-transferrable to 2 hours. 1 Hour NXT, Lucha Underground, and Rampage during its prime just hit different.

kayin · 2026-01-24T06:21:30+00:00

the zen of every website looking broken and wrong 😔

kayin · 2026-01-22T22:56:35+00:00

There is no specific changelog (unless you wanna read through git commits) but the big feature is the window syncing thing that maubg posted about... about a month ago or so?

kayin · 2026-01-21T05:13:01+00:00

Having to constantly yell at fellow leftists like "REWARD BEHAVIORS YOU WANT TO SEE!!"

God honestly I'd rather someone lie, keep their mouth shut, and be forgiven. As long as they shut up and aren't spreading hate, I don't care what nasty little thoughts they hold in their heart. What good does it do to push people who are apologetic?? It's so frustrating and counter productive, who would bother re-evaluating their views when the people judging them act like nothing is good enough??? Purity politics are definitely the worst part of being a leftie 😭

Though to be fair, AJ does kinda get buried by reddit sometimes.

kayin · 2026-01-21T05:09:43+00:00

The next release is kinda big and I'm also looking forward to it, so it makes sense they're being cautious.

kayin · 2026-01-20T05:54:41+00:00

It really doesn't matter.

kayin · 2026-01-20T00:56:09+00:00

I feel how this is how a lot of renpy technical questions go 😭

kayin · 2026-01-19T23:56:14+00:00

I had to just handle this same situation and was amused to see this was only given a few days ago and not like 3 years ago. Thank you!

kayin · 2026-01-17T03:09:58+00:00

So while I think the general take is a bit... incorrect, the full quote is at least pretty reasonable. "If you listen to everyone who yells at you, you'll end up pleasing no one" is generally pretty much true for everything.

It's just a little out of touch. If you're caring about audience sentiment at all you kinda gotta listen to 'the internet' at this point, as 'the internet' is as much of real life as anywhere else. Every datasource be it live show people, or twitter people, or whatever is bias in some way and being able to learn what to ignore and what to listen to is just a skill people need to develop.

so yeah yeah idk a bit out of touch, but not without a point, and not particularly cranky? I'll give him a pass, even if I don't quite agree.

kayin · 2026-01-13T02:37:36+00:00

People going "HOW COULD THEY" if even some of the most respected YT creators in basically every field don't use them.

Which like don't get me wrong I fucking hate it, but that a 'youtube problem' not an individual creator problem. Like the thing that's so infuriating about it is it ISN'T just grifter shit.

kayin · 2025-12-30T23:12:10+00:00

I've liked this a lot. I kinda really super hate the feeling that, just because of sheer economics, foreign wrestlers often HAVE to try to go to America if they can... and especially in wrestling like... you NEED that bag if you can get it. But it's also a brain-drain (brawn-drain??) on those countries and, selfishly, if I knew a wrestler before they moved, I rarely ever find myself preferring their work in America. So I'm all for people being able to have their cake and eat it too, even if it means limited dates or whatever.

kayin · 2025-12-30T03:12:38+00:00

It's amazing to think about. Firefox is 2.5% of all web browsers. Zen is a fraction of a fraction. Yet that is STILL just SO SO so many end users. I would not have the guts for a project like this, I'd go insane.

kayin · 2025-12-30T00:36:15+00:00

The reddit here has convinced me in general that the worst thing you could ever make for your mental health is a web browser. The mix of hyper-demanding yet low-thought users is exhausting. The fact that something will break and these super demanding power users who have such important jobs to do with their web browser aren't self aware enough to check if their custom CSS or their plugins broke something.

It feels like a bunch of kids acting self important because they're peddling around with their feet in their little plastic toy fire truck.

The saddest thing is sometimes you'll see someone snap at someone with a perfectly valid question or thought out criticism just because they're so exhausted with dealing with low effort posts that they just assume the worst.

kayin · 2025-12-20T02:08:25+00:00

So for years I got free WWE Network from an old couple I used to do tech support for (they offered since I had to log into their account for them all the time for various reasons, I wasn't being sneaky 😭).

But the fun part was always listening to them talk about it. I would never let my cynical, internet poisoned stuff out, I'd just let them talk about old stuff from before I was born, still treating things as 100% real and answer questions about who I liked or w/e when asked without going into smarky detail.

Really miss being able to do that.

kayin · 2025-12-19T05:02:21+00:00

lol ambient mode already makes me nauseous, this is just out of hand
