Remember when we consistently spelled it Micro$oft? Not only was that ruthless humiliation incredibly clever, but as we all know, it eventually brought us the year of the Linux Desktop.
Now if we just stick with Microslop a little longer, then I'm sure Satya Nadella will course correct any day now.

The boiling frog metaphor may or may not be an urban legend, but I'm pretty sure the boiling Vincent metaphor is 100% true. In fact, I'd gradually turn up the water to boiling temperature myself if only my shower would cooperate.

Dear GitHub, I understand that this is a challenge, but could you at least show me, like, 5 or 10 files at a time? Just the prospect of pressing "Next file" hundreds of times is daunting already, let alone properly reviewing them.

I appreciate how Playwright gives us `test.slow()` to hide the magic number, so we don't have to feel as bad that we're just bumping the default test timeout.

This is some top-notch deceptive design. Everyone knows most people breeze through sign-up forms: enter email, accept the terms, submit.
Now take a closer look.

My work day: use Volta to install pnpm, run it, find out I need Poetry, which I can install after installing pipx. Then find out that Fedora is missing some packages I need, switch to Ubuntu, go through the whole ordeal again.

With yesterday's release of Firefox 138, vertical tabs, tab groups, and the new profile manager are now all available. I highly recommend giving them a shot; it feels like a completely new browser.

Attached: 1 image Mozilla has been talking a lot about AI, which I personally don't care much for. Luckily, that doesn't appear to be coming at the cost of Firefox development, because there are a couple of features coming up that I'm pretty excited about! The following are all available in Nightly already. #Mozilla #Firefox #Profiles #TabGroups #VerticalTabs
