I’m guessing you were making a joke, but the real answer is it is a Godot tile map.

Thanks. It was a silly toy, but it scratched an itch, and was good for at least one chuckle.

Here’s a little game I made because I missed it too. https://dbeta.com/games/webdefragger/

For sure, that’s what it is designed for. A proper remote desktop system would need to be able to support low bandwidth links and gracefully drop frames if latency is high or bandwidth is low.

VNC might have seen improvements over the years, but last time tried it, it didn’t handle high resolution/detail well at all. RDP can stream practically any media in close to real time, as to where VNC really broke down if you tried to change too much of the screen at once. Ideally, there’d probably be a new open screen sharing standard that used modern encoding and decoding to allow for high bandwidth connections smoothly. Moonlight gets close, but isn’t really designed as an RDP/VNC replacement.

It is possible, although unlikely, that it is the display server for WebOS, the OS Palm built and LG bought. I seem to recall them having their own display server.

Both cursed and nice. If you plan is to have a box for emulating old games, it is really a great theme for it.

You are correct, TreestyleTabs was my jam for years, but I have moved over to Sidebery because it performs better and has better support for containers, as well as being considerably more customizable.

Not at all. Just managing clients stuff on portals that don’t allow for delegated access to a single account.

Not the person you replied to, but I can help with an example:

1. I have the browser reopen the tabs I had open last time, but keeps unloaded until I click on them.
2. The tabs are in a tree hierarchy, meaning I can collapse an entire group while keeping them all open.
3. My work involves juggling up to 50 different accounts each for a hand full of websites, so containers allow me to quickly swap between accounts signed into the same page.

I agree that userChrome.css must be modified, but once it is, Firefox is way better for vertical tabs. When you mix in the tree style that is common in the extensions and containers, there is nothing that competes, especially if you work involves managing a large number of accounts for the same few websites, as mine does. It is not uncommon for me to have 10-20 active tabs, and 80+ inactive tabs at any given time. Horizontal tabs can’t compete, and the flat nature of the tabs in Edge certainly turn into a mess quickly.

Sounds like you don’t know how international trade works. A company like Framework can’t ship to countries they don’t normally ship to not because of cost but because of taxes, embargoes, laws, tariffs, and more. It isn’t just about cost, it is about complying with laws. The countries they ship to they already know the laws. Any new county has to go through a long and painful process of learning local laws to make sure you are in compliance.

I’m privileged as an American to get almost everything I want, I get that, but you can’t blame a company for choosing to spend its legal resources where they are most impactful.

It should stop issues with full device theft as well, if done correctly, because if secure boot isn’t on and working, it will refuse to give the key. Which means, if it was setup correctly, the computer cannot be accessed without know the users name and password. This is the general accepted stack for Microsoft’s BitLocker. It becomes completely transparent to the user, but puts a decent blocker to access in cases of theft. There are ways around it like freezing RAM or packet sniffing an external TPM, but those are high level attacks.

The point is to have the system automatically unlock without the need for a boot password. This provides decent security if secure boot is enabled, but requires very little from the user. It isn’t a stopper for high threats, but a simple theft will mean the data is safe. It also ensures that if the drive is separated from the host machine, it is useless without a copy of they key. It doesn’t stop all threats, but stops a lot of them, and all of the most common.

I don’t gave a lot of use of it in my personal life, but I did switch from LibreOffice over to OnlyOffice and have been happy with it. The interface feels relatively modern and logically laid out. My spreadsheets tend to be basic tracking sheets and I haven’t made a written document file in ages, but for my modest needs, OnlyOffice is a clear winner.

Wow, that’s just waiting to get copyright and trademarked out if existence. It is one thing to make something look and feel like Windows, it is another to make it an exact visual copy and call it Windows.

If I was running business workstations on Linux, I’d probably prefer Flatpak over distro specific package managers most of the time.

I’ve been there.

General trick for unknowns like this, you can rename a folder, open the applications. If they work, it is likely safe to delete that folder. If not, you rename that folder back. A simple way to test removing something non-destructively.

They may have done a poor job of explains thing, but they are right. Secure boot is a system that every manufactured computer in the last 5+ years has support. The only reason you can install anything but Windows on most PCs is because the manufacturer let you, but they could take it away in an instant by requiring secure boot and only allowing Microsoft’s signatures to boot an OS. Valve could have done the same thing if they chose. That’s basically how the XBox works these days, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the PlayStation is the same, since it is x64 as well.
