Oh, I think, you’re right. It was a patch by openSUSE at first, but then they integrated it in about:config.

Just saw this while flicking through the changelog and hadn’t heard of this when it was released. Perhaps too niche to report on for news pages. So, I figured, I’d post here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just to kind of confirm this:
ls -l does not show them like hard links, but rather like soft/symbolic links.
But when I do tail -f /path/to/file.txt on a file (to keep it open in a process) and then delete the file, I get this output in ls -l:
3 -> '/path/to/file.txt (deleted)'
The 3 seems to just be an incrementing number for each file opened by the process. And then, well, obviously the file isn’t now called “file.txt (deleted)”. That is just a name the kernel makes up when ls -l asks it what’s in that directory.
So, presumably the kernel keeps a separate copy of that file in memory until the process closes the file or is terminated. And then exposes it through this pseudo-softlink rather than making use of hardlinks.
I’ll go on a trip over 2½ days in autumn, and for dietary reasons, I can’t really expect to find food there. So, my current plan is genuinely to just bring my own food for the whole trip.
And yeah, it’s just 7 meals, a bag of food is probably enough. But in my head, I’m already trying to work out the logistics of transporting a shopping cart’s worth of food there. 🫠


The section “4. What editing does to the mark” talks about that. Probably best to look at that illustration again, but basically those edits would interrupt consecutive runs of detectable text, but if a run is long enough, it can still be detected with statistical significance.
So, it doesn’t have to check the ‘color’ of the words from start to end uninterrupted, but rather can also detect color sequences in the middle of the text.


Yeah, they can’t easily rotate keys, because the text can’t tell you which key was used.
They could switch to a new key e.g. every month and then just check every previous key during detection. But that would slowly increase the likelihood of false positives, so no idea if that’s a good idea either.


Funnily enough, Firefox basically has it, with its Tracking Protection. The vast majority of ads use tracking, so get blocked by it.


With “refine”, I would guess they’re talking about refining a task, so breaking it down into smaller, more concrete/actionable tasks.
Because that’s usually meant in dev lingo, and because the other possible meaning of improving already-written code/docs is kind of already covered by “review”.


I believe, the right term to call that, is abuse of their dominance in one market to force their way into another…


You’d also need some way to automatically install the right package, if a dependency is missing. And you’d need to make this work seamlessly on all distros.
As a dev, I want my users to be able to use my software with as few clicks as possible. Ideally, just one. I’ll also accept two (download + run). For expert users, we can talk about 4 clicks, where they’d still unpack an archive after download.
But anything beyond that, especially if they have to first troubleshoot what dependency is missing on their system, that’s just not happening. They’ll just give up and delete my program, because they don’t want to invest time into getting it to run, when they don’t even know yet, if it does what they want. I know, I would.
I’m too lazy to make a meme, so I guess, I’ll post it here.
This should be called a pitch fork:



I believe, they chose a different behaviour for RMB, because otherwise you can’t right-click the background anymore to create subfolders etc., when you’re looking at a folder with lots of files/subfolders inside.
I don’t know, if Windows has a solution for this. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised, if they don’t.


I also really wouldn’t get my hopes up that it’s particularly different from GTA 5. The setting is still just realism, so they can’t change much in terms of gameplay or art style, not even the storytelling can go too far off the rails.
The graphics and world simulation will likely be more, uh, realistic, but you’d really need to get a lot of enjoyment out of fine details for that to make much of a difference…


You are the one certifying that the contribution can be released under LGPL-2.1-or-later.
I mean, that is entirely non-negotiable, but it also effectively means that you’re just not allowed to generate larger chunks of code.
Because it’s impossible for a human to know that a generated chunk of code was taken from another project in a (largely) verbatim form.


If we’re talking just text content with not really any interactive elements (beyond a navigation menu), then look into “static site generators”.
They allow you to write your blog posts or whatever in Markdown. You can pick out a theme. And then they’ll generate HTML+CSS+JS, which you can push onto a web server.
I mean, you do still need to subtract this:

You can use an extension Cookie AutoDelete.
Mind that you need to allow cookies for pages where you want to stay logged in.


One thing that, uh, amuses(?) me is that apparently there’s still a national emergency from 9/11: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/03/2025-16941/continuation-of-the-national-emergency-with-respect-to-certain-terrorist-attacks
You know how Hitler rose to power by abusing a national emergency regulation? You know how there was worry of Trump doing a fascism, back when Obama handed over to the guy? You know how Trump literally announced beforehand that he’ll do a fascism, when Biden handed over to him?
Both could’ve chosen to terminate the national emergency. Neither did so.

You can still move your folder from
.config/librewolf/to.librewolf/and it will use it from there. At least, it works like that in Firefox (potentially to be removed in the future, but there’s no real reason to remove it any time soon).But yeah, I don’t know how that works together with KeePassXC. I mean, if it worked on LibreWolf before, then presumably moving the folder back to
.librewolf/should fix it until KeePassXC is updated…(And yes, the
.config/directory is specified by the XDG standard.)(Also, good shout about the directory being relevant. I guess, that’s also why the extension is currently broken for me, because I was a bit too eager to switch to the
.config/dir. 🙃)
