I’m just confused why this has annoyed users just NOW since the button has always existed. It was just a down-pointing chevron before it got changed to a new icon so it’s not like it suddenly popped up and took space away

Just a reminder that Boox does not release the kernel source code and is thus violating GPL2
Mark Stevenson, lead artist of DK64, has already said in an interview with Nintendo Life that the use of the Expansion Pak to fix a bug was just a myth. This kind of bug did exist but was fully outside of the context of the Expanion Pak:
That story has become more-or-less accepted fact, although Stevenson believes the truth is more complicated. “This one’s a myth. The decision to use the Expansion Pak happened a long time before the game shipped, in fact we were called in by management and told that we were going to use the Expansion Pak and that we needed to do find ways to do stuff in the game that justified its use and made it a selling point. I think the bug story somehow got amalgamated into the Expansion Pak use and became urban myth.”
“There was a game-breaking bug right at the end of development that we were struggling with,” he clarifies, “but the Expansion Pak wasn’t introduced to deal with this and wasn’t the solution to the problem. My memory is that, like all consoles, the hardware is constantly revised over its lifetime to take advantage of ongoing improvements in technology and manufacture methods to essentially make the manufacture more cost effective and eventually profitable. I think there we’re something like 3 different revisions of the internal hardware by this point and the bug was unique to only one of these versions. We did eventually find it and fix it, but very late in the day.”

Stevenson later in an Games Radar Interview explained that the Expansion Pak was used for having bigger maps as well as being able to do more advanced lightning techniques:
Artist Mark Stevenson remembers it being beneficial in terms of standard things like level size in Donkey Kong 64, but there were also more creative uses. “One thing I remember that we did use it for was that we had a lot of dynamic lighting in there, which was hard to do and expensive,” he recalls. “One of the engineers wrote a system whereby you’d go into a cave area, and there’d be a swinging light - the first swing of that light, it’d record all of the colour changes on all of the vertices in that area, and then save it as data and just play it back as an animation rather than going on to calculate the lighting constantly. You’d get a little bit of slowdown when you went in, but after that, it was nice and smooth.”

Looks pretty sleek but no way am I going to drop 500 bucks for it
This feature got added in Konsole 21.04 which was 3 years ago
European here and I still find it distasteful and unnecessary for a release announcement post. Since you’ve mentioned you’d like to mod [email protected], I hope you won’t be considered to mod this community.
Very ironic after the call for community mods
Just in case somebody only reads the title and wants to ready their pitchforks:
And to reiterate a couple important points we’ve communicated in our previous updates published in March and May:
- The webRequest API is not on a deprecation path in Firefox
- Mozilla has no plans to deprecate MV2
Another case of abusing the word “enshitification”

Agreed! On a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 X, I also had a big, big boost of battery life. It’s really great how far it came in comparison to a few months ago!
That’s the solution if you immediately tried to login and it didn’t work.
Twitch login has in general very misleading error messages. The exact same message with unsupported browser also appears if you take too long to login
This should come in a 2.0 update “before Christmas”
In the article, it specifically mentions “Business users” and I can torally agree on that. Not many people use iMessage here in the EU or Switzerland anyway and for business I would say practically zero. I have seen bussiness use Threema, Wire, Telegram, Slack or Google Meet.
And heck, if businesses here have customer live chat with messenger, it’s either WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
I personally never had to use iMessage after the rise of WhatsApp - neither privately nor in bussiness.
Were you able to get the orange one for yourself?
I got myself the green one and my partner the red one. Pretty excited to get them!
As far as I know, since 2019 the Hue bulbs or lights are Zigbee + Bluetooth. I haven’t heard of a Bluetooth-only bulb yet
Since the Hue bulbs are using the Zigbee standard, you can still safely buy them in the foreseeable future and just connect it with something like SkyConnect, zzh!, Conbee, etc. and use it with Home Assistant
That’s totally true, though, in this case with LEDs I feel like the rebound effect is less of a problem here. The LEDs are not only using less electricity, but they’re far brighter with addition to using less electricity for that brightness. It means that even if somebody decides to fill their room with 5 LED lamps with 806 lumens instead of 1 incandescent bulb, they’ll still waste less energy - in addition with 5 LED lamps of 806lm making your room look like the sun is shining inside.
To be fair, they supported two different git backends, one of them being go-git which was the one corrupting repositories. However, it was never enabled by default, you specifically had to build Forgejo with a specific tag to instead use that as the backend. If you just built normally or pulled ready-made containers or bins then it was always the default git backend.
