That's an interesting point. I wonder if some sort of polling interface to ioctls would be feasible. On top of kqueue or io_uring or something maybe.

You could set BROWSER to a script which takes a URL on its command line, uses zenity to pop up a dialogue box showing it to you, with a button for each browser profile, then opens it in the selected one. With buttons for "Do not open&q

I first thought of Monaco, a heist game in which one character, The Mole, can dig through walls. I then thought of Broforce, a retro side-scrolling shooter, where almost all the terrain is destructible, and so if you don't fancy climbi

In the US, it would probably be enough to state-ise them, rather than nationalise them (and far easier constitutionally). The key thing is to remove the authority of tiny local government leaders over the police. Oh, and stop electing sheri
