@cosullivan That's a bit underwhelming. Should be possible to pull off. Is it OK if I go for an hour per day? Like turn off everything when sleeping? What about the burglar alarm?

@salixlucida What. Are they dense? Tiny droplets that land on hard surfaces also land on groceries.

@publius Indeed. They also consider hyperlinks unimportant and want to hide the "ugly" (in their eyes) underline, completely disregarding the meaning of "hyper" in "hypertext".

@publius That sounds a good added value for usability. Even the creator of Mastodon removes hyperlink underlines because he thinks they're ugly, ignoring usability.

@publius Indeed. And if not the designers, then their misguided managers. I have worked for a large custom web site creation company, and had to fight our design directors nearly every single project. Instead of protecting usability and the visitor of the site (which, one would think, helps converting visitors into customers), they protected CEOs. From a sales perspective I can understand that: we need to get paid, too. But if visitors don't see that links are links, you've done fucked up.

@solderpunk Bookmarks are a thing in web browsers, does that count? And the Notepad++ editor and many programming IDEs have bookmarks or other kinds of marks, that allow jumping back and forth. Does that count?

@solderpunk Understood. Sad to hear RStudio doesn't have this. In web pages the bookmarks can be set in-page by the author, using named anchors. Then we can focus such an in-page bookmark by using #name as the address suffix.

@cosullivan Did you share your upgrade advice request on multiple sites / in multiple communities? I find that some of my accounts on some platforms get a lot less reactions than others.

Today, a fire happened near or on a railroad track that I happen to use every business day to commute to the office. Trains got canceled or delayed. Instead of my normal commute time of 2.5hrs, it'll be 4.5 by the time I get home. Is that the best the "best country in the world" has to offer its citizens? Can't we do better? #publictransport

@ParadeGrotesque That was way harder than it should be! Gotta brush up on my geography. Especially in eastern Europe things changed a lot.

You thought MS Windows #Defender was a good #cybersecurity tool? Not by itself. Read this showcase on how a fully-updated #MSWindows can be compromised nonetheless: https://www.fo-sec.com/articles/compromising-mdatp-endpoint

@ParadeGrotesque I own a Roku and a Google Cast. Do people even realize those are entire computers? Running Linux? Streaming TV from the internet 24/7?

Whoops: #vscode is vulnerable to malicious plug-ins stealing authentication tokens from other plug-ins and even from its integration with Github. A hijacked token allows unlimited access to sources. #cybersecurity #packagehijack #pluginhijack https://cycode.com/blog/exposing-vscode-secrets/
