Even Vista was ok, it was just pre-installed on computers that could barely run it and UAC was overtuned but it was solid with the later service packs.

In my experience the USB 2.0 drives are slower to boot initially and install, but I think they decompress to RAM since for me it has never impacted performance while using the Live functionality, so if you are ok waiting for boot/install they are just fine.

My bad, I misremembered, it was "View Image", "Open Image in New Tab" was what Mozilla claimed was the solution in the bug tracker. It was removed in v88

The "open image in new tab" context menu option, off the top of my head, it has been 1000 small things with them, no 1 outrageous removal, but tons of them that didnt make big impacts yet still annoyed people who used them.

Edit: It was actually "View Image", "Open Image in New Tab" was the alternative that remained. It was removed in v88

For excel as an example isnt it already like that? One click to the ribbon/menu, one click to the option, and maybe a 3rd if that option had a nuance dropdown

If the prosecution obtains it as evidence, I would think evidence handling procedure would make said discarding a no-go.

Thorn, an old letter used for "th", it got substituted with y in old printing presses hence "ye old" came to be, it was originally pronounced "the" when printed text said "ye" for a while as the letter faded from use altogether. Some phone keyboards apparently have it really easy to type (iirc it is to hold down T on most of them)

on Do you like systemd? · c/linuxmemes · 15 pts · 321d

Part of the problem with it is that it is very difficult not to use it, for instance if your code uses dbus, that makes systemd a dependency and almost all of the tools are like this. Want to use alternate software with systemd init? A-OK! want to use systemd tools without systemd init? Too bad! This inter-dependence is what I think makes it break the unix philosophy, its components dont like to be replaced or used outside of the "intended" environment of systemd init, keeping it from being replaced without breakage on lot of systems.

On my install for instance, systemd is roped in by xdg-user-dirs (and hence steam), flatpak, fcitx5, and cups. And that is just a few. So the init system isnt a problem to me, the lack of drop-in replacements for its suite of tools is.
