Our perceptions about the past will be further and further shaped by an oroborous of AI hallucinations and embellishments.

Honestly if your site is buggy in a way that effectively breaks the browser, maybe you should be punished.

I recommend 14 days in jail for the site owner, and, if egregarious, the engineer as well.

Not life ruining but just enough to be annoying. Just like their website.

In most browsers you can hold the back button for a second and it will let you skip back more than one step.

You can right-click on the back button in Firefox to see a list of previous sites to go back to.

Yeah, it’s the same feature, just two different gestures. (And long tap works with Firefox on Android, btw.)

Probably should have mentioned it, but I was on my phone browser where that option either doesn't exist or isn't surfaced well. A long press on the back button just does the same thing as tapping once, so I'm all out of ideas.

Probably should also mention which phone browser on which phone OS.

Why on earth would I go out of my way to publicise that information in a public forum?

And some websites consume the entire history that a browser displays in that menu

Has definitely happened to me. Especially if I try the "click back a couple times quickly" method first.

Globalization can run both ways. It can also create much more sensitivity to disruption as bets are placed in a system with a lot more moving parts.

I suspect it was a freak occurence, but I actually had incredible luck running Haiku on an old laptop back in the day. It was incredibly fast, and just about all the amenities you'd expect worked with no or minimal intervention.

In the last year sometime I ran the Haiku live image off USB on my only laptop (2011 X201t), it worked fairly well.

Me too. The laptop was so old that I couldn't play a 360p mpg video without pauses on Windows 2K or XFCE, but it ran smoothly with BeOS5 (the Intel-based abandonware version)

Even running from an HDD?

I recently tried the latest version (Beta 5?) on a 2005-ish PC with an even older HDD and it ran surprisingly fast off that. The only thing where it was somewhat slow was web browsing.

Yeah. I installed it to HDD and it worked great. You'd think the thing had an SSD ot was so snappy. No issues with compat on the drive or anything.

As I get older I get more and more annoyed reading useless comments like yours.

Not really. More like a permanent resident, which is still pretty nice. In the past they were closer to citizens (and many older NZers who come over can be grandfathered into these privileges to one extent or another, with some extra red tape), but that has more to do with the legacy of the Commonwealth than current agreements.

I'd say _this_ is the comment guilty of making a false dichotomy.

I love systemd, but you've hit on one of my biggest complaints. The mounting promises a cohesive system and instead gives you a completely broken mess, with mounts being split across .mount unit files, fstab, and worst of all, .service unit files. It's a totally incoherent mess, and that's only _after_ you figure out why nothing is working right, and build a complex mental model of every single feature that does or doesn't work in which scenario. Knowledge you only gain after screaming and tearing your hair out for a weekend. Your reward? A totally incoherent, inconsistend mess.

I hate mounts in systemd.

And don't forget automounts! They are so much fun!
