Used @Vivaldi for the entire day today and I gotta be honest, I got used to the non-Arc-like tabs pretty fast.

Tab stacks are cool, I wish drag and drop was smoother (or at least gave better visual feedback), but overall I think it solves my need for organizing tabs quite well.

I set new tabs to always open in a stack with the current tab (i.e. if I open a link in a page in a new tab, it creates a stack for it) which helps with keeping things tidy when going down a rabbit hole.

I also mapped the Quick Commands dialog to open on cmd+t, mimicking Arc's spotlight-thingy. It is fast and works quite well, especially after configuring it to open links in a new tab as well.

Gonna keep using it, I think. Arc still works and probably will for a while, but I'm preparing for the day its updates cease. Plus, Vivaldi seems to deserve some spotlight, there's obviously a lot of care put into it.

G. #Kuzmanovic . Fréquence Populaire Média

🚨 Vladimir #Poutine a bel et bien participé au sommet des #BRICS2025 à Rio !
📺 À voir ici : youtu.be/s91VEpdsBgs
🐑 Certains répètent comme des moutons que #Poutine n’était pas présent.
👉 Faux ! Il est intervenu depuis Moscou, en visioconférence, lors de la séance plénière officielle, dans un décorum pleinement estampillé #BRICS.
Pour Fréquence Populaire Media, et afin de rendre ce discours accessible à tous pour que chacun puisse se faire sa propre opinion, j’ai traduit son intervention intégrale, que nous vous proposons sous-titrée en français :
💥 Refus de l’hégémonie occidentale et de la globalisation néolibérale.
🌍 Défense d’un monde multipolaire et souverain.
📣 Appel à la refondation des institutions internationales.
💱 Promotion des échanges en monnaies locales, hors du 💲.
👉 Pour information, la délégation russe était la deuxième plus importante du sommet, avec notamment Sergueï #Lavrov et Maxim #Oreshkin, directeur de cabinet de Poutine et pressenti comme l’un de ses successeurs.
🤔 Une fois encore, je suis sidéré par la légèreté avec laquelle la plupart des médias français et des "analystes" traitent ce qui se joue aujourd’hui dans le Sud global.

Brain: What are you doing?
Me: What am I DOING!? I'm trying to install AutoKey on #Linux Mint.
Brain: But you had it installed and running.
Me: I know. But it wasn't working correctly and I believe I had an incompatible version installed.
Brain: Did you follow the #GitHub instructions about uninstalling and making sure you have the right php dependencies - and then reinstalling the other version?
Me: Yeah... I think so...

Imprisoned: Anas Abusrour's Story

Of Course Trump Doesn’t Want to Release the #EpsteinFiles

Not only was Trump intimately close to #JeffreyEpstein, but there is a wealth of reporting tying the #billionaire #pedophile to intelligence circles. Trump is once again protecting the #elites he claimed he would fight on the #campaign trail.

Hello, World!

I first learned Unix from NetBSD, moved on to running Linux myself in the 1990's along with FreeBSD and sometimes NetBSD. I'm also a former Solaris and OpenSolaris fan, and was an enthusiastic OS X user for a decade starting with 10.1.

These days my main machines are Fedora and recently NetBSD again. Work is programming microelectronics CAD software on RHEL.

I made this alt with the hope of following more of what's going on amongst BSD users, rather than just running a couple machines by myself.

It's not exactly retrocomputing but it kind of is. Someone has started a project to make an Apple Lisa-like UI that runs in the browser. It's not just a font/icon thing. The way you did things on Lisa was very different than how we do things nowadays. It was a document-centric not app-centric workflow. It's pretty neat and pretty faithful representation. At first I thought it was infinitemac.org project which runs Mac and NeXT emulators in the browser running the real operating systems. That too would be an interesting project for someone to explore. #RetroComputing #Apple #AppleLisa alpha.lisagui.com/

Jazzilla

@Bernard

Correct. Address and significance here:

noauthority.social/@jazzilla/1…


Howard Lutnik didn't go to work on 911. He was a chief exec at Cantor Fitzgerald at the time.

He's now the US commerce sec, a role previously filled in the first Trump presidency by Wilbur Ross, Director of Rothschild, LTD during the 1990 Trump bankruptcy bailout.

Lutnik, lower portion of the meme, is attending Rabbi Schneerson's annual ceremony.

Lutnik bought the house that Epstein used to use on East 71st Street (owned by Wexner). Wexner bought the mansion next door and moved Epstein there.

Before Trump changed the law, corporations had to pay a 35 percent tax rate on their income. Now, Trump's bill locked in the corporate tax rate at just 21 percent.

How does the bill make up the lost revenue? With cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, starving working families and stopping people from being able to see a doctor so that corporate giants can pocket billions more.

in reply to anonymiss

For me it´s just a late-stage us-imperial theater for the plebs.
We all know, this list will never be released, ever!

Still it is funny for an non-`merican to observe: The MAGA crusaders once marched for "truth"—until the "truth" got too close to their daddy and his friends. On the other side anti-MAGA crowd still thinks Trump is some demonic anomaly, not the latest product of a rotting empire. Just sayin´

But who knows, maybe the list will come out one day… in 200 years, for some nerdy historian or bored archivist to scroll through. 😁

Spain, Ireland and China to join more than 20 states to declare ‘concrete measures’ against Israel


More than 20 countries are convening in Bogota next week to declare “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law”, diplomats told Middle East Eye.

The “emergency summit” is due to be held on 15-16 July, co-hosted by the governments of Colombia and South Africa as co-chairs of The Hague Group, to coordinate diplomatic and legal action to counter what they describe as “a climate of impunity” enabled by Israel and its powerful allies.

The founding members of the group included Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.

States due to take part in the summit include Algeria, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Honduras, Indonesia, Ireland, Lebanon, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Portugal, Spain, Qatar, Turkey, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay, and Palestine.

OpenCV 4.12.0 Is Now Available


Highlights include: GIF decode and encode for imgcodecs, improved PNG and Animated PNG files handing, animated WebP Support, and especially the new HAL for RISC-V RVV 1.0 platforms.

The University of Pennsylvania did the right thing and changed its policy, but Newsom is stubborn as heck. With all the problems facing California (immigration, crime, drugs, homelessness, etc.) and a 12 billion budget deficit, Newsom and the Dems chose to pander to trans activists.

This didn't have to happen, and it's all on Newsom and the Democrats in Sacramento. They were given the chance to comply, but flat out refused to sign a resolution agreement.

"The suit comes just days after the California Interscholastic Federation and the state’s Department of Education declined to sign a resolution agreeing to comply with the U.S. Department of Education’s push to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports.

CIF and the state Department of Education sent letters to the U.S. Department of Education declining to sign a resolution agreement on Monday, saying that they disagreed with its Office of Civil Rights’ analysis. CIF and the state Education Department declined to comment, citing pending litigation."

New boss eyes my golf shorts, #hawaiianshirt with a cat, #sandals, and jokes "say, do we _have_ a dress code?"

"Eh. Think we do - employee manual hasn't been updated in at least a decade though, and noone has ever given me any grief, and I dance all over it in the summer. In any case, not only do I know that there ARE bodies, I know where they're buried and in most case I buried them to begin with. So if quibbling over dress code is a priority for this company we have way bigger problems."

Oklahoma's Dept of Ed will use right-wing propaganda outlet PragerU to create a test for determining eligibility to teach, measuring applicants' belief in "American exceptionalism" & acceptance of transphobic gender ideology: foxnews.com/politics/exclusive…
Surely other GOP states & Trump's DOE (using funding as leverage) will follow, making acceptance of far-right beliefs a requirement for teaching, just as it's become for hiring federal workers & allowing people from other countries to visit the US.
