It's especially useful if you find a window is stuck off screen after disconnecting a monitor.

can’t recall if it’s out of the box or if I configured that

That's out of the box. No configuration necessary. The default behaviour in Plasma when pressing the Windows key is to open the application menu where you can start typing to find what you want. In fact it's kind of a pain to disable that, and will sometimes re-enable itself randomly as I recently found out (I prefer WIN+D to open the app menu from my i3 days, and I work in an RDP connection to a windows machine where I would prefer to be able to just press WIN to open that menu and not KDEs menu.)

What's worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn't do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.

I can't really explain it. I was as surprised as anyone when I realized I can't remember the last time I saw a mosquito.

It's Calgary, Canada. The climate is fairly arid, but there are definitely mosquitos in the area. I just haven't seen one in a long time, despite being outside for at least a couple of hours every day.

I suspect if I walked along the river more I'd see some though.

I really only know of this word because of Scott Manley

They exist here. I just live inner city and never see them.

I can't actually remember the last time I even saw a mosquito.

It's the same story in US and Canada. Illegal, but not really enforced. And when it is enforced the the penalties aren't strong enough to be a deterrent.

It's against FTC regulations in the US too. The trick is getting them to enforce it.

I’ve never heard of that type of action occurring anywhere else.

There were a couple of high profile cases in Canada a while back.

As long as it continues to be sold on store shelves, it's modern enough to count.

I can't see the name Crash and not think of the 1996 movie with James Spader. Which is weird as fuck.

 

Lemmy doesn't do spoilers the same way that Reddit does. Sync appears to still be using the reddit style of spoilers, i.e. >!spoiler!<, however on the web-ui those are visible to users, and the spoilers that web users use in the editor which look like this:

Aren't hidden in Sync. Consider this a PSA for users of Sync that may want to avoid spoilers or avoid spoiling others. Personally, I'd like to see >!spoiler!< supported more widely on Lemmy, but in the meantime this should probably be addressed in Sync.
