Deeply frustrating - I felt like Mozilla was gaslighting me -- I spent 3 minutes double-checking that even after updating Firefox minutes ago the option is still not visible to me. Making an announcement when fewer than 40% of your customer

I resonated with what seemed to be a portrayal of appreciation of daily life and work (even if it isn't glamorous or cushiony). The daily pause the main character makes as he leaves for work -- looking up at the sky, to be present and

I recently migrated a few of my Electron apps to Tauri -- was easy and fast in my case -- went down from 130mb installer to 3mb installer. Worth considering! https://github.com/whyboris/Simplest-File-Renamer <- 130m
