I had a similar experience looking up the code for ⊥, I didn't realize the world has given a very specific meaning to the words "latex bottom"

How long have you used it and how is it?

I'm pretty curious about those kinds of distros, and don't really like how nixos is completely hosted on github (and all the drama that constantly comes from the community, and the bad documentation for many things, ...).

However, guix seems such a niche project that I feel like it can't really be used.

I agree with you about the API, it seems to be one of the first things to go.

Though, killing it would be expecially dumb in this case, as it is what made trakt famous in the first place. It's really useful to have a scrobbler for every major service, and I use it for a dumb side project.

I'd really like to know what else they think they are adding with their service that is worth $60/year. The data comes from tmdb, the trailers are youtube links, reviews and lists are created by users (when they are allowed to). Sure, they package it all together, but I wouldn't call the website a masterpiece of neither form or function.

I hope that the current backlash will make them (temporarily) revert the change, but this is still a clear signal of the path they are willing to take. I'll be looking for other services.

Nobody mentioned it, so it's either really obscure or way too obvious, but: Nirvana (1997).

A game developer finds out that the main character in his next title has become sentient and must save him from endless suffering by deleting all copies of the game shortly before it launches. I saw it many years ago, and really liked it. It hasn't aged perfectly, but all the important cyberpunk bits are there.

It is not different from how the previous shared libraries worked. I guess it's there to stop cheaters from buying a single copy of the game and sharing it with throwaway accounts.

Since you are sharing anecdotes, let me join.

For me FF has always been extremely stable, and I too regularly keep 100+ tabs open, on much more limited system resources. It is so stable that I've completely disabled history saving, and if there is something I want to read later I just keep the tab open. Never had an issue.

Tree Style Tabs also pushed me to have many tabs, because now I can actually organize those that I've opened and find them later.
