Prior to the website rpmfind.net, installing software was to put it mildly, a chore. Due to package dependency, you’d start the compile, and it would fail due to missing libraries. You’d then go out and find those libraries, only to have them fail on compile…due to missing libraries…it would go on like until you finally were able to compile the original package - at this point though you compiled it out of sheer spite for the universe that put you in that position.

I rate the experience a solid 5/7

It’s hilarious that people think I’m some kind of problem solver for all of their random issues they send over. I’ve even told them when they send me their errors - I literally copy and paste it into google (and now bing b/c google is becoming cluttered with garbage). Some of them just can’t wrap their head around just googling the error code or error string.

Maybe the one thing we can do is filter out the irrelevant answers, and choose the correct/closest solution, that way they don’t have to wade into the mess

I’m defintely not 3 ducks in a trench coat

There is/was a restaurant that offered IIRC $8/1 bowl, or $11 unlimited bowls (this was ~20 years ago). It was called BD’s Mongolian BBQ, the crazy constructions I saw while eating there was ridiculous. Same goes for when we used to have Indian buffets (pre-COVID). I think the most insulting thing was that these were people who based on their dress, and the vehicles parked outside, did not seem to be hurting for money

…but that’s like 78% of why I got one

The last time I looked at containers I think it was an add-on, but I don’t think (and please correct me if I’m wrong), it filtered or made active the current viewable tabs.

In Opera there’s an icon list on the left and depending on which one is selected those are the only tabs displayed, and/or made active. I’ll take another look at FF containers.

Someone mentioned ‘about:profiles’ above, I think that may be closer to what I’m looking for, maybe that combined with containers can reduce my foot print to just Firefox, thanks for the suggestion

That’s unfortunate, I was hoping for a ‘workspaces’ like feature as in Opera. I run FF and Opera simultaneaously to segregate my tabs. It would be really nice if we could get something like that extended to profiles, so I could just run FF

Neat! We had CO2 cars when I was younger. Basically the same thing, just with a CO2 cartridge plugged into a hole at the back of the car. We race to see which design got the farthest. Man that brings back some good memories
