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.


Can confirm; on a Pixel 3 (blueline) and Lineage 20 is fully supported.

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.


To be honest I have no quarry against RDP. You download a sandboxed app from the store and just use it. Meanwhile Citrix offers an installer that puts 3 services on your computer and then you need to run another another installer to be able to use conferencing.

Why does shadow.tech and even self hosted Rainway can offer a seamless gaming desktop experience on a simple client or browser while billion dollars Citrix lots of services running on background?


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 /`


This will block systemd however. The nice thing about the emergency shell is that you can use systemd things like trying to mount filesystems. And you can later isolate multi-user to continue the boot when you finished your fix. /bin/bash would be atleast useful to try to get a root password set.


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.


Teams is garbage compared to Discord or even Slack imo. Complete garbage UI.


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.


Nothing on this page says the project has been abandoned and the last commit is 3 days ago:

The email seems to imply that it's "dead" in that while it has an active community and active contributors, it doesn't have any active maintainers.


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


I submitted the link and it's been pointing to this email since the beginning.


It’s possible the mods merged two threads or similar. Check for top-level comments if curious.


We changed the title but not the url.


Hi dang, i don't know where else to contact you. I see you posting comments about there being multiple comment pages. Is there anything that could be done to avoid that, like allowing more comments per page (e.g. up to 10 of the current pages?), infinite scrolling, having a more visible "more pages" button, having the button not only at the bottom but also at the top, etc. ?


He recently said in one of those comments that they're working on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25038589


> Hi dang, i don't know where else to contact you.

Scroll down to the bottom, and hover/click "Contact" to get the email address.


Much better title, thanks :).


I don't hear that very often from submitters :)


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


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

For the front page? Do you have a layout in mind that works better than simply zooming in?


If there’s nothing else clickable around the graphical element then making a larger but invisible touch target around it would be an approach to consider. No visual changes, easy to do with css etc.


god, no

  -- from my shatphone that causes all the misclicks


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.
