   I do agree, and I'm more careful now. Always keep a backup, at the very least. I now symlink ~/bin/firefox to nightly because some apps seem to have it hardcoded to open "firefox" rather than what's set as defa

   FWIW I started using beta, nightly and the old "UX" channel, first on Mac and then on Linux, and before I knew it could be a problem I switched between them with the same profile all the time. Maybe there were subtle bugs I wasn&#

   I was wondering recently if I could tell Sway to use floating mode for all windows as a kind of first step to something like this. This is obviously much better, though!

   Depends on the item, but I chose a Patagonia rain jacket partly because their logo is a stitched on tag I could easily remove while most other brands print their logo on.

    I agree, so I'm interested to learn a more accurate store. And now that's I've read this article I see they even mention Cadfael. I enjoy the series, but I try to remember it's fiction, not history.

    That's what they said when they announced the Edge name – if they didn't choose an E- name (and logo), literally millions of people wouldn't be able to get on the web.

    Isn't it singular in e.g. 'Scots law'?

    Understable if you're North American, where 'Scottish' is all I really hear. But it is common in the UK, for example 'Scots law' for the legal system in Scotland.

    In the US there's the Alcatel Go Flip on T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T (at least I think the "Cingular Flip 2" is similar). https://us.alcatelmobile.com/alcatel-go-flip/ FWIW it apparently uses an older,

    It's this rewrite specifically that's called QuantumBar.

    AIUI, Mozilla is rewriting the address bar ("QuantumBar"), and you can now toggle it on in Nightly by setting browser.urlbar.quantumbar to true in about:config. I've only tried it on Linux, but it seems smoother.
