So can I get rid of container tabs now

Ok, this makes sense, thank you.

I'm now able to access my Jellyfin server from other devices in my home. (A browser on another machine, and an Apple TV with Swiftfin).

If I wanted to extend access to people outside my home, what's the best way?

Thank you

Vue is the only browser-based movie client listed on the Jellyfin site. Is there a better browser-based option?

Yeah WTF is this art, this is NOT the way to do it.

Fun fact about the original Sim City: the lead developer said that they wanted to model real cities in the game, but "we quickly realized there were way too many parking lots in the real world and that our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots."

Thank you for this clear, helpful answer

But... Why? Why would they get different restrictions on the basis of operating system?

update: Instapaper seems to check every box

 

I use an Android e-reader (the Likebook P6) and I'm so frustrated by the lack of a good read-it-later app. This chart lays out the shortcomings of current apps.

Pocket used to be good but they dropped support for page turning.

Does anyone have a good app for saving and reading articles on e-ink screens?

There's an Omnivore beta app that supports page turning (great!!) but... for some reason, I can't adjust the fonts on my tablet. (I have this issue with the official Ominvore app, too.) And the Omnivore app doesn't auto-download articles?!?! I have to be online to load each article when I open it, and only then can I go offline. Pocket and Wallabag don't work this way; they'll download all your articles at once and you can read them all later, even if offline.

Are there any other options???

 

I've just started using Brave on Linux (distro info at bottom) and I have a question about keyboard shortcuts & how the browser manages active windows, because it seems to be doing something different from my last browser.

I usually use Firefox, and I've set it up so that I can open a new tab with the Mail key on my keyboard. Pressing my Mail key executes this command, opening a new tab.

xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+t

But now I've switched to Brave browser, and that command no longer works. When I've got Brave open and I press my Mail key, nothing happens.

I've tried alternate commands:

xdotool key ctrl+t

and

xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+t

but no result. Does anyone know how to fix? What is Brave doing with its browser tabs/windows?

Thank you!

Yes, that's all true. But that's a good argument for "You shouldn't only vote," not "You shouldn't vote." See the difference?

If the only action we take is voting, then the tyrants who aren't constrained by law will win. If the only action we take is direct action, then the tyrants win as soon as they outgun us. If we use voting to advance things in civil society inside the lines and direct action to keep the tyrants playing inside the lines, we win.
