The workaround for me is to always resize by clicking Alt, right click, and drag. At the end of the day, that's probably just straight up easier, since you never need to bother getting close to the borders of the windows.

I recommend changing the key to Super. As holding down Alt and clicking/dragging is often used by many applications and simply won't work then.

I just learned that you can use Super + Left Mouse to drag windows around and Super + Right Mouse to resize, due to this discussion. I have been using XFCE forever, mostly using hotkeys for tilling, and just did not know :D

Thanks !


Huh, I'm over 10 years in and didn't know about the rightclick-resize either. I really like it! Thanks!

Yes, it is best to use Meta/Windows key for system related actions (copy/paste, screenshot, application start, various windowing actions), and let Ctrl and Alt be used by the applications.

I remember Tor being significantly more usable, and not having random 3 second delays on websites.

How about Quad9?

I'll have to check. I assume they are not immune to decisions of European courts either?

Does Germany require that all DNS providers block Anna's Archive? I thought that was mostly handed for ISP DNS providers.

One thing it should mean is that anyone using Cloudflare is doing so while risking that its CEO suddenly pulls the rug and closes down the service; not a dependency you want in your stack, and not a great look for a service that's supposed to be usable as a stable high-availability one.

I’m sure they’d give you several month to migrate off (and make noise to your government).

I can honestly see why you’d want to stop giving stuff for free to people taking your money.


> just said "no go ahead, keep building"? What happens to the companies if they just keep building?

As the article also touches upon, this already happened in the particular case of Revolution Wind: There, work, was forced to stop in August, then in September a federal judge blocked enforcement of the block, and work continued:

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/offshore-wind-develo...

And “what happens” seems to be that rather than appeal, the rule-of-law deniers apparently choose to not care? Work has stopped again:

So, publicly admitting that you broke the rules and are part of the reason we can't have nice things. Why?


Another meta simulation of the thing we're already doing, because apparently we needed to simulate commenting on a simulation. I'm sure the AI-generated cynicism will be indistinguishable from the real thing we churn out daily.

It's still pretty confusing: Uunchecking the box doesn't seem to do much (is it actually unchecked when you click it? There's still a checkmark); you still have to click Accept to see the text; what are you accepting?

In any case, pre-checked boxes are not valid consent under GDPR (“Planet49”).


How about 2 players playing on the same device, i.e. offline play?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dnane might be a fit.


Normally, where I come from anyway, verifiability would refer to the ability to prove to a classical skeptic that the quantum device did what it's supposed to, cf. e.g. Mahadev (https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.01082), Aaronson (https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.06930), in a strong, theoretical, sense. And that's indeed relevant in the context of proving advantage, as the earlier RCS experiments lacked that ability, so “demonstrating verifiable quantum advantage” would be quite the step forward. That doesn't appear to be what they did at all though. Indeed, the paper appears to barely touch on verifiability at all. And – unlike the press release – it doesn't claim to achieve advantage either; only to indicate “a viable path towards” it.


So the Scott Aaronson Full Employment Conjecture remains unrefuted?
