Well I have some good news, look up the AltTab MacOS tool. It does exactly what you're after and it has been a life saver for me.

That's a cracking result! I'll definitely keep an eye out and hopefully the second hand market is healthy.

I think the SE never really turned any heads from the flagship causing the second hand market to be lively. With these new touted SEs, they're looking to be as good as iPhone 14 (maybe pros) which has a very wide reach.

Hoping the SE 4 in the new year will be sub $500/£500.
You'll also see a lot of MMA fighters train up in the mountains to the same extent.

Re:Why privatisation has been a costly failure in Britain on Tuesday July 11, 2023 @06:46AM (#36679118)
Good ol', "Know the cost of everything, but the value of nothing".
I feel the problem with the way the UK builds apartments is just so unsatisfying. The ones built targetting the luxury demographic seem to be habitable and provide ammenities that a commuinity would have. Such as grassland and seperate outdoor space.

Outside of these the rest just don't provide actual living spaces. They seem to be thrown up without any care for quality of living.

Edit: I do agree with you, I just wish living in an apartment didn't feel so reclusive.

In addition to your points, having a net-migration of ~600K[0] and only ~255,000 homes being built[1] per year (March 2022-2023), we're getting stuffed. Barely enough supply to house the new people coming.

Re:100% Open Source CS:Go on Saturday June 03, 2023 @11:13AM (#36177300)
Probably a good thing as from my understanding there is an uncertainty whether a version of CSGO will exist. For example there are some old patch versions available from circa ~2013 which are still playable.

Not sure if that will be possible after the move to CS2. You would think so, but at the very least, "Kisak-Strike: Gentoo Offensive" will exist.

100% but when the alternative seems just so bleak it's hard to be positive.

Re:Stop Developing This Technology on Thursday February 02, 2023 @06:48AM (#34625304)
What utterly horrible minds in that comment thread. The justification that other bad things happen means we can reasonably create more evil is disgusting.

Those posses a complete lack of a moral compass.

An IBM recruiter reached out to me a while back which caused me to go and have a dive into IBM. From what I found IBM is mostly consulting.
Re:Fourth membrane is discovered in the brain on Friday January 06, 2023 @06:38PM (#34282970)
From what I've read, neuroscience is in its infancy and there is so much which still needs to be understood. The brain is immensely complex.
Besides the question of the legitimacy of this post. I would encourage everyone to go and explore horrible practice of honey production. Along with the effects honey bees having on native species and wild bees. Which ties in to effective pollinators and why we hear about "rapid decreasing bee population".
So we're going to fix/build infra so we can get their population levels higher... Just so we can eat them.

What a sad world.

Re:Electric car drivers in the UK must pay tax from 2025 on Thursday November 17, 2022 @12:13PM (#33642121)
Considering such a large amount of a cars pollution comes from tyres and break dust it's true.
Additionally it seems they have removed the "sort by most popular" on channels. Incredibly fustrating.
I think resentment is the word we're all looking for.
Amino acids - it's suboptimal to eat only one source of protein. I suppose more so on for a vegan. Just as well no one does that. Of they do you're no longer attributing "poor amino acid profiles" to veganism as you are to the person responsible for terrible diet.

B12 - Animal products come from animals filled to the brim with B12 supplements, of which a huge majority of global B12 supplements go towards livestock. Also along with over lovely concoctions of antibiotics and drugs.

There's nothing wrong with cutting out the middle-man! Not least when so many flesh eaters are also deficient in B12 themselves. In need of taking the same B-complex as vegans.

We have the capability to enjoy life like no other generation before us. The difference is previous generations did not have the resources to destroy like we do now. With that being the case we must be sensible in how we enjoy ourselves, by being mindful of our existence and impacts.

It seems utterly ridiculous that you would rather go on precedent than case by case rational decision making.
Learning Turkish for my SO has caused me a lot of pain. Forget the fact that she has ~20 aunties and uncles trying to remember their names and "role" is a hell of a job!

No, not at all. I don't claim to love and have compassion without backing it up.
