Look at the post history, that's the entire context of my comment, I see gsf all the time on the blame train, even while they sprinkle salient points that seem rational here and there.
How exactly did you interpret the opening line of 'still constantly trying to sow dissent' other than to have a broader context than just this particular post. Hand waving it away on their behalf sure seems more like taking part in the gymnastics.

3 weeks left and you're still constantly trying to sow dissent and disfavor on Harris with masquerades of play-nice bullshitting. You seem to be engaged in constant mental gymnastics adjusted to whatever thread topic is available to whataboutKamala in a negative light.
Do you have any self introspection or is it all high rpm cognitive dissonace at this point?

Yes, I've done that, but I don't want more icons on desktop and I'm out of room on the taskbar for even more goddamn icons. Unfortuantely the muti-account-containers isn't quite what I want, and the other suggested plugin hasn't been updated in 2 years and also requires a separate binary download to work, which just screams malware and if off the table entirely. Thanks for the suggestion any how. I'm still looking. Cheers!

That looks like something similar to what I'd find useful, but the requirement to download a separate binary to use the plugin feels like 100% malware and I will not touch it.

No he's right even while Matt M is being a massive piece of shit and ruining the WP community cohesion. DeliciousBrains iirc was the original ACF dev org that was bought out by WPE who do a lot of cornering dev using buyouts/investments and then go about with their internal commercialization of tooling built on GPL without contributing to the upstream platforms. WPEngine still aren't the good guys, they're just the victims in a case where the expected good guy WP founder and Automattic leader Matt Mullieswaggiesomethingrather turned out to be bad guy that is just as ethically and morally compromised with a little more salt for flavoring.

Talking in the third person seems to just be a from of tolling for fun, and it's all well and good, but in that context I garner doubts about the veracity of your claims as you seem to go about roleplaying a caricature style built around your username.
I didn't intentionally mis-gender you, I have a tendency default to the fewest letters to refer to a random person online not knowing biological gender or preferred pronoun and gendering without any intent to insult or distress.
[He = less typing, and only requires 2 bytes of data vs 4 bytes to be stored and sent/resent for every view of a message. I continue to argue like a nerd that he/her is by far the best all-around option to adopt as the universal 'generic' pronouns, as they/them is a plural usage that typically implies more than one. When you have one person with a they/them pronoun in the same discussion with a group of people that are de-facto referred to as they/them due to the representation of a plurality, it creates a definitive lack of precise communication on the subject of reference. They/them only works in a singular pronoun when you don't have multiple subjects to represent in and out of the context of a discussion. Exactness of language to discern intent and meaning is exactly what preferred pronouns are useful for, but they/them introduces it's own complexities of structure and content for an individual's preferred identification, IMO. This admittedly doesn't take personal traumas into account, but traumas are something to be dealt with through positive mental health therapy, be it self directed or from outside help, to overcome it them.]
I'll gladly use your preferred pronoun and gendering once I'm aware you have such request, but you shouldn't use it as a whip to distract/dismiss criticism entirely unrelated to pronouns, that sort of self service can be diminishing of your own trauma.
I certainly don't know the reality of living trans AMAB and experiencing trauma from a lifetime of perceived mis-gendering, but I do wish you well, and hope you have a support structure around you of friends and family that are understanding and supportive.
Drag has some things to work out, as we all do in different ways, but I hope their life works out for the best on their own terms. Maybe in time people will get used to Drag talking in the third person, but the comedic styling needs some practice to level it up.
Cheers.

You're looking at the full mc package rather than just mcedit. Even then, Midnight Commander is absolutely worth that whopping 7.9MB of space it takes for all the functionality it provides.
Openwrt is not an example to use to compate against a package size, as it's target built to fit into small firmware storage spaces on all sorts of random hardware. That's comparing existential philosophy with oranges.
Would you download a car?

The only Dad advice you nerds need:
mcedit from the Midnight Commander (mc) tool is the superior text editor.
I don't even run arch, btw.

Just got this right before midnight in my MS Admin app alerts. If you dont configure the policy, in September it defaults to opening web links in Edge regardless of OS default browser setting. I woke up this morning to One Drive doing its usual thing being HOT GARBAGE, now I'm going to bed with Teams becoming HOT GARBAGE. Full Excerpt: -- Web links from Microsoft Teams chats to open in Microsoft Edge; Teams chat will open side-by-side with link MC669480 Plan for change Published date: August 21, 2023 Affected services Microsoft Teams Tag MAJOR UPDATEADMIN IMPACTNEW FEATUREUSER IMPACT The Microsoft Teams desktop app for Windows will open web links from Teams chats in Microsoft Edge to enable a new web and chat side-by-side experience. By opening web links in Edge, users will be able to see those links side-by-side with their Teams chats—web links will open as new browser tabs and the Teams chats will open next to them in the Edge sidebar. This new, single-view Teams experience in Edge is designed to minimize switching between windows and to help users stay in the flow of work while referencing web links. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 126334. This change to use Edge to open web links from Teams chats follows a similar, previously announced change in the Outlook for Windows app. Customers impacted by this change in Outlook were notified via MC541626, MC545904, or MC548092. Admin controls are available as detailed below. Read more about how we’re optimizing the experience between Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Edge: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2023/02/16/discover-new-ways-to-multitask-with-microsoft-365-and-edge/ What's New in Teams | Microsoft Inspire 2023 Notes: This change does not affect a device’s default browser setting in Windows. This only affects commercial users signed into Teams with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) accounts. The policy described in the following section configures which browser is used to open web links for both Teams (chat) and the Outlook for Windows app (email), or, if you did not receive an Outlook for Windows app Message center notification, this policy will only apply to Teams (chat). When will this affect your organization: Timing: Microsoft Teams desktop app for Windows: This change will start rolling out late September. Outlook for Windows: Roll out in progress. If this change affects your users, you will have received either MC541626, MC545904, or MC548092, and can refer to them for specific timing. Note: Depending on your Outlook for Windows update channel, you may experience the change in Teams first. Action: Use the Choose which browser opens web links policy to configure which browser will be used to open web links and to set whether users will be able to make changes to which browser opens web links in both the Teams desktop app for Windows (chat) and the Outlook for Windows app (email). If you did not receive a message center notification for the Outlook for Windows app (email), then the setting only applies to Teams (chat). If you did receive a message center notification for the Outlook for Windows app (email), then the setting applies to both Teams (chat) and Outlook for Windows app (email). You will not be able to manage each app individually using this policy. If you’ve previously configured this policy for the Outlook for Windows app and wish to maintain that configuration, no action is required. Note: There are no Microsoft 365 subscription restrictions in using this policy to configure which browser opens web links in Teams. Use of the policy to manage the change in the Outlook for Windows app depends on your Microsoft 365 subscription. If you received the Outlook for Windows app Message center notification, please refer to MC541626, MC545904, or MC548092 for details on whether configuring this policy will apply. If you have not configured the policy, or wish to change it, find the details below. How this will affect your organization: Links from Teams chats will open based on the browser configuration in the Choose which browser opens web links policy. If no configuration is selected using the Choose which browser opens web links policy, web links from Teams chats will open in Microsoft Edge. Only links set to open via a web browser are affected. Links that are set to open in a client app or within Teams itself will continue to do so. User experiences will vary by policy configuration; please see the next section. You can manage this experience at any time. What you need to do to prepare: If you’ve previously configured this policy for the Outlook for Windows app and wish to maintain that configuration, no action is required. Use the Choose which browser opens web links policy to configure which default browser will be used to open web links and to set whether users will be able to manage which browser opens web links in both Teams (chat) and the Outlook for Windows app (email). You will not be able to manage each app individually using this policy. The Choose which browser opens web links policy is available using the Cloud Policy service for Microsoft 365 (formerly the Office Cloud Policy Service) or as part of the Administrative Templates for Microsoft 365 Apps. Enabled: Configures which browser opens web links from the Teams desktop app for Windows (chat) and the Outlook for Windows app (email): Microsoft Edge Web links will open side-by-side with users’ chat or email in Edge. Default browser Users will not be able to change this from the respective apps’ settings menus. Disabled/Unconfigured: Web links from the Teams desktop app for Windows (chat) and the Outlook for Windows app (email) will open in Microsoft Edge. Web links will open side-by-side with users’ chat or email in Edge. Users can manage the browser change: Via the in-product notifications explaining the side-by-side experience. At any time via the Teams settings menu: Settings > Files and links > Link open preferences Note: If you want to manage this change for your entire organization so that Teams only opens web links using the device’s system default browser, you will need to configure the policy to Enabled and select Default browser.

[July 4th, Independence Day.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)) Independence Day (colloquially the Fourth of July) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence, which was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, establishing the United States of America. The Founding Father delegates of the Second Continental Congress declared that the Thirteen Colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain, King George III, and were now united, free, and independent states. The Congress voted to approve independence by passing the Lee Resolution on July 2 and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, on July 4.
