I'd argue the official name de facto doesn't matter when there's been 5+ names for it in the last decade and nobody can keep track of it. Vast majority use it via their phones or in-browser GMail, I suspect. (On topic: I use

Seems to me that either "Hangouts" (or whatever it's been most recently renamed to) is "major," and so many might argue it proves you false regarding "steady," OR it's not major, and discord would thu

Looks like the title should be corrected to possibly enable discussion of the actual article rather than the paraphrased misleading title given here. Should be: "Television: It’s Called a Medium Because It’s Never Well Done"

My covid takeaway is to be more certain than before that: > [a war-mobilization type of effort, where industries start working together for the goal] is a pipe dream. I'd love to be convinced otherwise. While technically possible,

Fun fact: they've been available for over a decade at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back a few years more than this 2008 article. Never personally used one, though. https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/ge

I think they mean they disabled issues altogether on the two github projects. I would give the benefit of doubt and assume they went through and responded to all open issues beforehand. Maybe even put things in a "known issues"

This is weird to me; I never open a new tab in a manner that exposes me to that... it's always typing into the URL bar and then hitting alt+enter, or middle-clicking a link. (Plus session restore)
