I still think about you every now and then...

@vivaldibrowser Found another issue. Periodic reload on pinned tabs do not survive a browser restart. Is there a place where I can log these issues?

@vivaldibrowser Seeing some major slowdown on websites with CSS animations since the version 8 update. My @Ubiquiti dashboard has ground to a halt, as well as other animation heavy sites. Was fine with the previous version. Google Chrome and Edge is still smooth.

@vivaldibrowser All fixed! Thank you for the amazingly quick turnaround time on this!

@vivaldibrowser Changing the theme from Dark to Dark (Modified) seems to have done the trick. Any reasons as to why?

It was murder. Definitely a murder.

When a crow dies, other crows often hold what people call a “funeral”: they gather around the body to investigate what happened.

Researchers, including teams from the University of Washington, have documented this behavior—known as crow thanatology. Rather than mourning, the crows are assessing risk. They study the scene to identify potential threats (such as predators or poisons), learn which locations or situations are dangerous, and share that knowledge with the rest of their group, improving the flock’s chances of survival.

I remember running the MS-DOS 6.22 defrag while in Windows 95, rebooting, and finding nothing worked afterwards because DOS didn't support long file names. Needed a complete reinstall.

If you recognize what's happening here, you're part of a generation that also spent endless hours fine-tuning autoexec.bat and config.sys files.

And if you're not sure what's going on in the video, I honestly envy your youth.

@alphacoder It keeps fighting me when I try to put a leash on it so we can go for a walk.

Social media has become a ghost town, haunted by echoes of friends and days gone by. Fleeting views into lives that have drifted apart.

🫡 So long EE-Extras Snapshots, and thanks for all the fish.

Why am I receiving this?

[Gareth Stephenson @GarethStep]

@OneDayOnlycoza Am geek, never had this problem.

[Gareth Stephenson @GarethStep]

I'm not sure, but I think @OneDayOnlycoza is missing me? 3 emails in one day (only)!

@BusyFocusApp Folks, when are you going to release this? It's starting to feel like vapourware.

Hey @MicrosoftEdge, why does my browser go into 100% CPU usage when the machine is left idle for a short while? It stays in 100% usage when resuming use. None of the user-level processes are using the CPU. Are you mining/training on my dime?

[Gareth Stephenson @GarethStep]

Oh dear
