nudgenudgetilt posted:firefoxos Ah, so I wondered what browsers their operating system runs... and the operating system is the browser!  Opera actually has a lot of funny tech poo poo to remember... Like Opera Turbo: we render the web page for you on our server farm, then send only a minified version so that pages load faster on slow mobile connections! At some point, Opera changed the way tabs cycle in the browser when pressing ctrl+tab, so I had to tweak a setting called "Alternative Page Cycle Mode" to "0" on each new install to get it to what I was used to. These days, I only use ctrl+tab if I'm going to the previous tab, otherwise Vivaldi's ordering of the "Page Cycle" is inscrutable to me and I never know what tab it's going to cycle to beyond that first one. If I could get it to what makes sense to me (Opera's mode 0), I would like to know... But I don't know if anyone would even know what I'm talking about if I went on the Vivaldi forums with this... The mode is already set to "Cycle in recently used order" in my Vivaldi, but it works differently...

i seriously can not understand people who expect ctrl+tab to do anything but go to the tab to the right (or left with shift). like, what the gently caress was anyone thinking when they decided to stop doing that and instead traverse an arbitrary-sorted and invisible list??? whose brain is computer enough to know that hotkey but want it to work in such a nondeterministic way? edit: talkin about ctrl+tab Corla Plankun fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Mar 6, 2023 |

i actually really liked opera mini/turbo. back when mobile browsers could basically only do text and non-animated images it was extremely useful

I expect ctrl-tab to work exactly like alt-tab, except scoped within a single window instead of desktop-wide.

my only guess is ibm austin ended up with some system or parts of one and just now got around to getting rid of it. think they’re consolidating some buildings down there.

it's almost certainly in texas by way of a prior collector or warehousing. pretty sure no /l was ever installed in texas. if there's a story beyond "that's just where it landed during liquidation", it's probably a former /l admin who bought it from uni surplus, then brought it to texas when they got a job at tacc.

Track & Field for the NES, with the sports pad or whatever that you were supposed to stomp on to simulate running, jumping, etc. For the Long Jump, you were supposed to do a "running" start to build your speed up and then jump as high as you could. Your character would stay in the air until you landed. If you so happened to jump off the pad for a few seconds and then back on to it, well, who am I to say that you didn't actually jump 20m into the air out of excitement?

google fiber microtrenching is hilariously bad. they pulled out of louisville, ky years ago, but when i was there a few weeks ago scootering through one of the google fi neighbor hoods it was amazing how hosed up the fiber install looked those black lines a couple feet from either side of the street are the fiber runs

they actually cut the pavement and filled it in with tar? kinda surprised the city let them do it that way rather than trenching or horizontal boring in already established easements
