It has had a single window mode since Gimp 2.8 was released in 2002. Unfortunately it's not the upstream default, but a lot of Linux distros set it that way anyway.

LineageOS will keep providing OS updates long after Google stops providing updates for those Pixel devices, so you wouldn't have to buy new hardware or switch to another OS in a year.

There is an HTML5 Citrix client and it's a more terrible experience in every way. I hear there is an official HTML5 RDP client now too that is probably the same. Even newer "cloud-native" entrants like Amazon WorkSpaces have their own thick clients, for a reason.

Or if you're blocked by the root password prompt add `init=/bin/bash` and make your filesystem writable if necessary with `mount -oremount,rw /`

I've never used Slack but in Microsoft Teams there are Teams and Channels and they pretty much map 1:1 to Discord's Servers and Text Channels.

You cannot leave individual channels of a Team though you can mute them and you have even less permissions than Discord.

So maybe it isn't a 1:1 replacement for Slack but it certainly could compete in the field.

I guess you are thinking this tool is required because you are coming from Google Chrome extension development where you need a compiler tool to create CRX files. This is not the case for Firefox extension development. It uses plain ZIP files.

You do not need this or any command-line tool to create Firefox extensions. You can create and publish an extension entirely with Notepad, Firefox, and the built in ZIP functionality of Windows Explorer if you want.

I guess I must have fat-fingered the domain and the second article down in the history.

Any chance of bigger touch targets on mobile already? ;-P

When I wrote this comment the link pointed to the cairographics.org homepage, not Matthias' email.

VMware still works great for older operating systems. I've had nothing but trouble with Hyper-V and VirtualBox lately.

It's sad because VirtualBox used to work okay but the legacy AMD NIC and SoundBlaster drivers have been bitrotting in the last few years and Hyper-V's predecessor Virtual PC used to be great with older OSes too.

If you prefer free software KVM/virt-manager works just fine as well there's just a bit more fiddling with options to make things happy.

Acquired isn't defunct. The archaically named entity that owns your local telco cabinet almost certainly still exists:
