  1. One of the few features I didn't care for, so I've not got that one.

    I have replicated netcaptor, my first tabbed browser, the entire point I use tax mix plus. The workflow is logical.

    Open new tab in background opens the tab to the right, just next to me, to read next.
    Close a tab, move left
    Etc

    I can't live without this, closing a tab and shifting the focus right is madness.

  2. Re:Used to use Firefox on Firefox and the 4-Year Battle To Have Google To Treat It as a First-Class Citizen (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Tab me plus is critical for me, utterly critical, took 3 Chrome plugins to replicate it, but it's behaving as intended now.

    Firefox it's unstable and Alpha, for the new plugin framework

    Firefox mobile is atrocious, I do not know how you use this at all, as stated the sensitivity and hold down time, click detection for opening the context menu on a url is AWFUL. Chrome leaves it for dead on mobile.

    I suspect Firefox is to be gone in the next few years, sad. I loved it very very much and was a die DIE hard supporter for a very long time, but too little, too late.

  3. Whined about it on this very site for a solid 5 years. Really really loved a lot of things about it, infact almost everything except performance, it's woeful when you load it up with many many tabs (chrome, is not like this)

    Sadly, they fixed the performance issue, by destroying all their plugins and switching plugin types, so I've stopped using it.

    As for mobile systems, well that's sad too. Firefox is awful on mobile, just the interactivity with opening a tab. I tend to hold down "open in new background tab" - I always browse like this, always. Continue reading my article, read my followups after. The 'clickyness' and delay / sensitivity on the hold downs and font selection on firefox is terrrrrrible on mobile.

    On the other hand, Firefox for mobile, I THINK supports plugins (of some kind) - I particularly miss the ability to "close tab if already open elsehwere" when you open a link. That's very useful. But no plugins on Chrome mobile.

  4. You changed, not us. We're just no nonsense, common sense. SJW types are part of a very weird cult.

    At the end of the day, we should change our business hours, but we won't.

    Until then, I like being able to get home with sunlight available, thanks. I just wish we'd double it, not halve it, in winter.

  7. Then they share these lists. Despite new being abrasive here. I was quite tame on Twitter, but Will Wheaton got me on a list, for being a fucking baby, been stuffed since, blocked by thousands I've never spoken to.

  8. Quite true to be honest, the tolerant people seem to focus on firing, shaming and guilting people not in their cult. It's kind of frightening.

    One more thing, "DeroirGaming" or whoever it is? Their tweets regarding it in full are still up and completely polite / not offensive and not looking to stir shit.

    This girl brought this on herself. Considering she's a blocklist user, I change my stance, fuck her. Soak it up girl. You're obviously a politics player.

    Oh wait, I just checked, this stupid girl is definitely part of the "my politics or nothing" crew. I've never, ever interacted with her, but she's taken time out to subscribe to a twitter blocklist and I'm blocked by her. Thanks Randi Harper / Wil Wheaton, sigh.

    Gotta shut out that 'other think'

  11. My understanding is, the guy who messaged her, was very tame in his reply, it was a direct reply to her tweet and I believe he works or worked with them or he was some kind of official partner.

    He also was quite tame in his response and gender had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, his behaviour the remainder of the night, was very much polite and lite, he really wanted nothing to do with an internet lynching and was just disapointed by her reply.

    Her reply was a quote tweet (ie: a shaming) to make them look bad and went on to a gender whine.
    I've become very sick of this gender politics / identity politics bullshit, she was foolish to defer to the "I'm a woman so he's not allow to question me" however that being said, firing her seems a bit excessive.

    I'm not sure why this belongs on bloody slashdot though, more political stuff eh?

    It happens all too much, people get fired for things they say online. The 'tolerant left' are doing this significantly lately. If you're not in with the gang and say something they don't agree with, bam they're trying to get you fired.

    (The right likely do this too, but it's the hypocrisy of the left and the excessiveness the past few years which makes it feel cult-like and screwed up)

    It's just not worth it.

    I've seen a plethora of articles outlining why Tesla has legitimate financial management issues. These shorters aren't all about "fuck Tesla" it might simply be "this seems like a profitable trade, this company should be crashing, let's see if I can predict when"

    Some of them, it's emotionless, no politics, it's just how it is.

    I dunno if they are managed bad, but boy have I seen quite a few articles, including charts.

    I'm skeptical they achieved 7000 or skeptical they can HOLD 7000, perhaps they did do it? Dunno.

    Actually based on some charts, news announcements and government policy (in China) I suspect a good portion of it, was used to funnel money out in to the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand property markets.

    China has continued to crack down on the currency, to a point it's difficult to hide laundering money into a 4 bedroom AAA quality property in downtown Vancouver. This has impacted housing in Vancouver (as well as the recent tax policies in that location) as well as the price of bitcoin.

    I spent several months in my last role (which was tangential / partial management) trying to convince the other managers at my level and above me, to stop damn well referring to the staff as "resources" it was so dehumanising. They were just tools.

    I really don't take an issue with this to be honest. They're supporting an old OS for a heck of a while, that hardware is incredibly incredibly old.

    You can continue to use Windows 7, you just need slightly newer hardware. It's not that unreasonable.

    I'm a pretty archaic nerd but hanging on to ridiculous old hardware has held us back. Look at 64bit support due to crappy Atom chips and netbooks. Windows Vista and 8, should never have had 64bit. But Windows 10, STILL shipping in 32bit? Cmon enough is enough.
