If you pause the video you can scrub by dragging the end of the bar. It's terrible UX but it's technically possible

Apple designed the silicon to have an "x86 mode" for the memory model ordering, as well as an undocumented mode that makes certain arm instructions set flags similarly to x86. There's a good write up of the reasons here: https://dougallj.wordpress.com/2022/11/09/why-is-rosetta-2-fast/

The Jews I know decided not to get vaxed and have caught COVID 3 times each so far...

I admit nothing!

Excited to see how this plays out. Looks like there's basically nothing implemented yet though.

And that's a wrap: nobody got a majority. Looks like we get to wait for vote 2

The Xbox One consoles were never hacked because Microsoft went paranoid crazy on the security model

Just call it a11n or a12n and nobody will know if they can't count or if you can't count

I've been using Photoshop for like a decade and have at various times tried using Gimp as well to see if the free competition is better. Pretty much every time I'm struck with how many features it is lacking and how bad the performance is... it was getting less than 10 fps just trying to edit a regular sized image. I'm sure with years of experience I could become good enough at gimp to handle the same tasks as Photoshop but the learning curve is so steep just to learn a program that nobody else I'm collaborating with is using.

In my opinion, the real Photoshop competition is something like Affinity photo/designer-- no subscription fee, great support, and UX that is actually nice.

Have you ever used gimp? This is objectively false

I'm pretty sure it already generates thumbnails for the posts, so they may be able to reuse that code for the sidebar. Or @Ruud could just point it at a smaller image. One of these choices is much easier than the other :)

The paradox of lactose intolerance is that, if everyone is tolerant of lactose intolerance, eventually we'll all be lactose intolerant after drinking only lactaid
