It has had a single window mode since Gimp 2.8 was released in 2002. Unfortunately it's not the upstream default, but a lot of Linux distros set it that way anyway.

LineageOS will keep providing OS updates long after Google stops providing updates for those Pixel devices, so you wouldn't have to buy new hardware or switch to another OS in a year.

There is an HTML5 Citrix client and it's a more terrible experience in every way. I hear there is an official HTML5 RDP client now too that is probably the same. Even newer "cloud-native" entrants like Amazon WorkSpaces have their own thick clients, for a reason.

Or if you're blocked by the root password prompt add `init=/bin/bash` and make your filesystem writable if necessary with `mount -oremount,rw /`

I've never used Slack but in Microsoft Teams there are Teams and Channels and they pretty much map 1:1 to Discord's Servers and Text Channels.

You cannot leave individual channels of a Team though you can mute them and you have even less permissions than Discord.

So maybe it isn't a 1:1 replacement for Slack but it certainly could compete in the field.

I guess you are thinking this tool is required because you are coming from Google Chrome extension development where you need a compiler tool to create CRX files. This is not the case for Firefox extension development. It uses plain ZIP files.

You do not need this or any command-line tool to create Firefox extensions. You can create and publish an extension entirely with Notepad, Firefox, and the built in ZIP functionality of Windows Explorer if you want.

I guess I must have fat-fingered the domain and the second article down in the history.

Any chance of bigger touch targets on mobile already? ;-P

VMware still works great for older operating systems. I've had nothing but trouble with Hyper-V and VirtualBox lately.

It's sad because VirtualBox used to work okay but the legacy AMD NIC and SoundBlaster drivers have been bitrotting in the last few years and Hyper-V's predecessor Virtual PC used to be great with older OSes too.

If you prefer free software KVM/virt-manager works just fine as well there's just a bit more fiddling with options to make things happy.

Acquired isn't defunct. The archaically named entity that owns your local telco cabinet almost certainly still exists:

Yes, in whitespace significant languages whitespace is significant. I could complain that my editor doesn't figure out how to fix all of my braces if I hit a button, after all I got the indentation right and can visually see the structure of my code should be correct no sweat.

I want to completely disable clipboard management so it wouldn't remember clipboard history (which is a security issue) and wouldn't clear the clipboard as soon as I close the window (extremely inconvenient - I often want to open a window just to copy something, close it and paste that somewhere else). But I could never find how.

If you disable clipboard management on X11 then the clipboard goes away when the application does - that's how X11 works and the whole reason clipboard management exists.

If you don't want it to keep any history but the most recent item, then just disable that.

The compilers can be downloaded for free by anyone as part of the Build Tools for Visual Studio.

These restrictions only apply to the Visual Studio IDE.

Provide a rooted phone by default.

Going back to carrying boatload of cards again is not an option.

Google Pay doesn't (officially) work on rooted phones.

There are lots of other things like that, which is why it makes a lot of sense to ship phones not rooted, while still making it easy to do so.

Peek-A-Boo 4-U cancelled the following...

There is a pending payment requests section in PayPal. The buyer finally noticed it and cancelled it.

You would think they would expire these after some time. Imagine if the buyer completed the payment 19 years later??

I learned from this guide (well the PyQt4 version). It starts off small and works up to the kitchen sink if that's what you need:

http://zetcode.com/gui/pyqt5/

There are a few others here:

The 2020 one there may be what you're looking for, more than hello world but doesn't quite all the way get to the kitchen sink, just maybe the silverware drawer.

If you want NumPy support in particular you basically have to use CPython.

The only other implementation that really supports it is PyPy which is not in any sense more lightweight.
