You can now select any emoji for a reaction in the version that was just released (at least on Android).

Maybe there's some extension to fix this now, but I always hated how GNOME's workspaces were just small boxes on the opposite side of the overview button/hot corner. And even more so that they were a row, not a grid. KDE's exposé-like grid that separates all the windows on all the workspaces is so much more useful to me (not sure if that's enabled by default though).

You can get pretty close to emulating Unity's interface with Plasma, especially if you use Latte-dock. But there are still certain things that can't be done; the biggest to me is having the menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) in the title bar of all the windows (a global menu at the top works though). You can get a button that then gives you those options, which is close but an extra click.

I think some of the contention here is that you believe those protesting the restrictions are the same as those who are most hurt by them. But I don't think most people here are upset that people who have no safe place to go, don't have money to buy necessities, etc. in the best of times, are facing terrible difficulties and are upset.

Maybe it's different elsewhere, but at least in my own state (Michigan), protesters seem to be people who are frustrated that they can't go about their daily life as usual. They tend to better off than many and can do things like drive to Lansing to protest, with the most vocal yelling about how they need haircuts, not being able to keep their lawns in perfect condition, and how they can't go to their cabins up north. And plenty still believe this is all just a big conspiracy and government power grab (tons at the protests didn't wear masks or socially distance at all).

People in my city (Detroit) are getting hit the hardest in the state, partially due to poverty (and race, but around here the two are inextricable). It's not those working-class people who are protesting: they're too busy just trying to survive and stay as safe as they can.

LCDs around the gauge cluster seem to encourage the display of extraneous information and eye candy, from making what should be a simple gauge extra gaudy and shiny, to adding useless images and readings all around (look at these leaves! Your car is so efficient!).

My friend had an old Saab with the "Black Panel" button, which turned off all internal lights save the speedometer. If other readings became relevant (e.g., running low on gas), that gauge or light would illuminate. I drove a Peugeot 208 a few years ago with a similar function. I wish I could find a vehicle with something similar, but design is clearly moving in the opposite direction.

What? The U.S. invaded Afghanistan first, in 2001. Iraq came in 2003.

My build (just downloaded as a fresh install) is #20351804. Add-ons are a menu option now, with UBlock Origin as the only recommended one. Actually, it might be the only one available at the moment?

Been waiting for uBlock Origin support for some time. I'm really glad the developers decided to support it! UBlock Origin seems to be the only suggested add-on in a fresh install. Just tested it briefly, and it seems to work great.

I often see this sentiment here. And part of me, of course, agrees.

Of course, it would also mean the total upheaval of human society. Not just in terms of our environment and physical space, but all of our customs and culture. What's the point of any rite of passage if the group you enter is ever-expanding, never diminishing?

How would we even look back at what we've done, our own past, and have it matter if our future is essentially infinite? Death provides us with a context to make our lives meaningful. I cannot for the life of me even begin to imagine the sort of society that would emerge if humans didn't die.

Which crippled the console, because you couldn't play games online without updating. And if that wasn't bad enough, soon after you couldn't even play new games offline. I used my PS3 as a backup computer when I was at school (came in handy when my laptop died), so I didn't update it. When I bought Dark Souls, I found out I couldn't play it.

Doesn't it depend on the screen and user preference though? On my old Thinkpad's screen grayscale antialiasing looks awful (fuzzier and harder to read), to the point where I've filled bugs when some aspect of a program's UI doesn't obey my system settings.

Ubuntu gets Firefox updates within a day or two of release. It's been like that for years.

I can't remember if Nog was addressed directly, but in the recent DS9 documentary Ronald D. Moore (one of the show's writers who later went on the make the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica) commented that there were several minor characters that the writers really liked and, therefore, kept thinking of new stories for them. That actors like Eisenberg portrayed the characters and imbued their roles, especially at first, with such personality definitely resulted in the writers bringing them back and giving them interesting arcs.

The most blatant example of this was Jeffery Combs and his portrayal of Weyoun, a character who died at the end of the episode where he was introduced. They then invented the backstory of his race being all clones just so they could bring him back.
