But Firefox also has browser profiles now (something I wanted for so long I moved back to chrome to get it), so what’s the purpose of first-party containers now? Don’t browser profiles provide a more robust, very visible delineation between different accounts/user profiles?
> (Yes, the invader could try to get Mexico to agree to host the invading army, but the US would probably find out about that plan and respond by either blockading Mexico or invading it if it doesn't immediately abandon the plan.)
Curious, how viable would this strategy be when invading via Canada?
I fell in love with elementaryOS when I first learned about it c. 2013, and followed it closely (used to read commits weekly) for perhaps a year. It was one of the first open source projects I really loved. But I eventually went back to Ubuntu because I was newish to Linux and I needed something that Just Worked™, without the funny business.
I eventually fell out of love with elementaryOS when the team seemed to double down hard on some unpopular design decisions wrt window control buttons/behaviour, for instance.
I always felt that they had taken on more than they could chew, and all the good will of their community wasn't going to change that fact. To this day I maintain that the project should have just been Pantheon, the Desktop Environment. The team seems to have strong opinions about UX, and that's where most of that matters.
I'm not the only one who thought of that, and the team's justifications for their decision to roll their own distro never came across as strong.
I've since moved on (to macOS and Ubuntu one the side), but once in a while I browse the official sub for the latest. I've never shaken off that feeling that the really talented founders could have spent their energy more wisely.
> If the elite colleges are not comprised of the rich and well connected it beats the entire point of an elite college.
Depends on how you define "elite", and I assume you mean some sort of hereditary or economic-class-based definition. But elite colleges could (and should) still work if they run on competency-based merit. I believe elite talent in as many fields of endeavour should absolutely be catered to.
> The entire notion of "elite" universities is discriminatory.
Well, when you put it that way, many things are discriminatory, for better or worse.
I tend to see a lot of criticism of the Trump administration when such topics come up. One "standard" HN tends to uphold is not following every single turn of the news cycle. This is why political discussion isn't as active here as it is on, say, political communities on reddit.
The name of your app reminds me of one I had started working on when I was out of employment: the app was going to send periodic reminders of stuff you've bookmarked/saved on various social media sites.
I was just about working on the Twitter api when Musk bought the company and restricted access. Real bummer. I got employment weeks later.
Funny I saw this just when I had pg's Economic Inequality open in another tab, with the intension of settling down later to read it. I'm now listening to it. :)
> Somehow nobody ever complains about the depictions of Jesus as a white man with flowing blond hair.
Many people do, actually. And my art history may be bunk, but comparing depictions of Jesus in Medieval vs Renaissance European humanist art suggests artists in the latter period were more keen on a little more historical accuracy.
Also, generally speaking I imagine it's a little different with Jesus and other major figures from Christianity. Inculturation has cultivated the habit of various people adapting these characters to their cultural contexts.
While "white Jesus" may not be popular because of the white supremacist legacy, there's a wonderful world of South East Asian and African Jesuses and Marys.
