I don't understand why browser-makers don't leave window management to the window manager. Split view has been standard in Windows (and probably Linux?) since 2009. I know Mac doesn't really do split windows without additional software, but that's an Apple-being-awkward problem.
just putting windows side by side is not enough. i need to be able to treat those two side by side windows as a unit: see how i use it as an example here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47913202
no windowmanager anywhere supports that. even tabs could have been solved by window managers. but then we could not get inactive tabs, and the same is true for the tabs in splitview.
if lack of support for inactive tabs are no issue and if you don't use workspaces much, you could use those as a workaround. but that unfortunately at least gnome workspaces are not flexible enough for that. (i'd need dynamic creation of workspaces without automatic destruction, and i'd need gnome to remember which window goes into which workstation. that used to be a feature on some windowmanagers, but i haven't found any that can distinguish multiple windows from the same app.)

I agree that it is odd, but it is unfortunately a natural consequence of the dilution of the term woman to include people in their 50s that up until yesterday were men.
We need a new term, kind of like how Thailand is handling the situation for so long. It is clear that there cannot be just two genders.
> use the subscription plans you already have, avoid paying for API usage, and keep the setup simple enough that you can try it in a few minutes.
That interested me, but the article does not explain how to do this at all. I was hoping it would tell how use my work's ChatGPT Pro subscription via the CLI without having to pay per token over their API.
Why does my computer freeze and become unusable when the RAM is 90%, then? That myth is complete nonsense - RAM is like a seatbelt or a crumple zone, serves as a buffer between the user and crashes, and will hopefully never be tested under use.
I had to reinstall MacOS Lion manually recently, as Macs do not have a BIOS and require a MacOS environment to begin installing Windows. I was installing Windows on legacy Macs, because it gives me 30+ years of software and performs well, unlike MacOS (5 years software if lucky, unusably slow performance on older hardware). I intentionally did it all the hard way offline from a Windows host, so that I could replicate it without depending on someone else's flakey servers (which incidentally refused to serve me OS installer images)
I detest crummy Unix-style online stub installers and package managers, because the original downloads are always down when you need them, and it's much harder than it should be to force offline replicable reinstallation.
To my recollection on the machines that shipped with Lion (circa 2011) you’ll want to set up a protective MBR with the appropriate drive dimensions on the GPT, to get it to install windows like with boot camp.
To my recollection on machines with discrete GPUs this is what triggers the appropriate hardware configuration (BIOS boot, disabling the internal GPU and switching the MUX to only route via the AMD card)
Thank you very much for that! That might explain why one of the macbooks I installed Windows on seemed to have laggy screensavers, whereas the others (Air) seemed to work just fine.
I installed the MacOS Lion installer from a memory stick to the internal SSD (partition 1), Mac OS Lion itself to partition 2 (minimal size) and Win7 to partition 3 via Bootcamp, and it works well, aside from laggy screensavers on one of them, and losing around 10GB to the Mac Lion installer partition 1 (I don't know if there's a way to force it to install MacOS to 1x partition, rather than 2x, while fully offline)
