Very much so. The longer the line, the more your eyes move and the easier it is to lose track of where you are. It can be worse when you move to the next line, as you lose your frame of reference from the previous line on the other side of the screen.

For horizontal space, it tends to be really hard to design for larger widths and still maintain focus on the main content in a readable way. For example, you should avoid super wide blocks of text as it’s really easy to get lost as you read. This is why you often see a max width with large gutters for wide displays, especially on pages with a singular focus, such as an article.

A separate entrance is more then just a door:

To build out the Canadian entrance, the Haskell has to create a parking lot with reduced mobility spots, install reduced mobility access ramps and entrances, and build another proper building entrance to the facility.

Looks like their GoFundMe has a good response so far, already receiving over the expected $100k needed.

OEM blades lasted over 6 years, only needing an occasional wipe down getting them working well again but not anymore. Saved $25 getting replacements from Costco rather than a new OEM pair.

The board is pushing against it and I’d doubt they’d move counter Apple leadership in this instance. While I don’t like the sucking up to Trump and the effective bribery of inauguration donations, outrage for this specific instance should be placed on the conservative group driving a shareholder vote rather then leadership that seems to be against it.

Pulling the ladder up behind him.

This isn’t coming from Tim Cook or people internally at Apple but a conservative group, I’m assuming activist investors, trying to reverse DEI programs via shareholder vote.

Maybe they will start to realize the persistent election cycle is not a good thing. I would love to see a ban on all election campaigning until 90 days before said election but that wouldn’t get past a 1st amendment challenge.

Linux works well if you need something to function as a tool, be it a NAS, network appliance, server, etc. You can setup it up with the small subset of things you need it to do and trust it’ll just run without further interference.

When it comes to a consumer device, it fails the “just works” criteria much harder the OSX or Windows. Software tends to be maintained by an army of unpaid volunteers passionate about their specific use case with a lot of infighting around how things get done. Such functionality is often developed by people with such a warped idea of usability that they consider VIM to be the ideal, modern, text editor. This is a piece of software that started life in the mainframe days, where input lag was measured in seconds rather the milliseconds, in order to minimize number of keystrokes, no matter how convoluted. This leads to multitudes of forks of functionality with subtly differing functionality often with terrible UI and UX catered to the developer’s specific workflow.

Whenever a lay persons asks how to get started with Linux, they get sent down a rabbit hole of dozens of distros, majority of which are just some variant of Ubuntu, with no clear indication of what’s different as they all just describe themselves as the ultimate beginner distro. With the paralysis of choice, they can pick one at random and hope it’ll work with their hardware without issue, spend hours figuring out the nitty-gritty differences and compatibility issues, or just give up and keep using what they already know.

FYI, you can use IMDB lists in Sonarr. First go to Settings -> Import Lists and click the add button. IMDB lists should be under “Other List” section.

You can try reaching out to a women’s rescue organization based in India. Guria India Is one I found from a quick google search that has an easily accessible phone number.

You can turn off infinite scrolling in Voyager under Settings -> General

I had a friend that subscribed to a meal plan service but it required a phone call to cancel. Instead, before each shipment, he would search for the company on Google, click the sponsored ad and then proceed to delay shipment from their account page. He did this for years to ensure it cost them money for not offering an easy cancellation path until they eventually did so.
