Bold of you to use the word bold

I need to start doing that

Is there any other browser that does a right-side vertical tab bar with compact tabs?

There's an extension for Firefox to do it, but it's a bit clunkier than Vivaldi's - definitely something I'd only switch to if I really had to... but every other browser I've seen only offers left-side vertical tabs at best, which is terrible if you want 3 monitors in a left-to-right layout with your browser on the left.

I don't know if I was blind the other day or if it wasn't there, but the headphone icon is definitely there now. Cheers!

Wasn't the entire point of not using "Windows 9" branding and instead going straight to "Windows 10" from 8 that they didn't want the last version of Windows to be 9, that they preferred a nice round number.

Isn't there a Black Mirror episode of this

I'm not a DRG superfan and didn't expect to enjoy this, but the progression feels very solid and it's a lot of fun. Surprisingly addictive.

While it's not DRG, it feels extremely faithful to the original game and doesn't have that "too-vampire-survivorsish" feel that some of these games suffer from.

I can't really pin down what makes it so playable - my best guess is the pacing of the upgrades and the mix of the 4 classes feels like it's just right. Tunnelling through walls (and the mining speed upgrades) is also a particularly interesting mechanic.

What's an example of an upgrade in another similar game that enables a "weird" build?

This is an old message I only just noticed, but maybe that's better anyway....

...because my ChatGPT app is up to date and doesn't have a headphone icon to the right of the text box. There's a soundwave icon that lets me use speech to text, but that's not what this is.

Can I play devil's advocate a little bit here, because I was really unaware that this ever worked for anything except indie artists on Bandcamp. So Bandcamp works for them or for discovering new music obviously.

I didn't know artists ever sold digital music on their websites, but that does make sense, so I checked - if I google Taylor Swift and go to her website, there it is, digital music purchase. Great.

I went to U2's website, and the only music I can buy there is vinyl. I don't want vinyl, I want digital. You can buy merch, but I'm after music, not merch. Looking further, there's all sorts of galleries and information about each album and song, but you still can't buy the music.

Other mainstream artists I googled didn't even go that far. Googling them brought up a wikipedia link, social media links, tours. All stuff I don't want. Now your list has "contact artist via social media" - setting aside the fact that it's unlikely a popular mainstream artist will even reply to anyone at all about anything, this is a real point of friction. I don't want to have to contact an artist to find out some alternative way to get their music. If I'm buying something online, there needs to be some way to buy it online and ready to go. If we have to wait a couple of days or weeks for a reply that may or may not come - the process failed.

If I had to guess, they would probably say something like "it's on spotify".

So yes it probably is a supplier problem, but it seems to me that this is happening for the majority of popular artists if a majority of music people like is mainstream. I assume if you like the majority of indie music then that's probably not the case.

Can anyone use this? Right now?

HotS isn't really dead - you can play it now and it feels as good as ever. We all want to see continued balance patches and more cosmetics and heroes and maps but the fact is that it already feels balanced and has enough cosmetics and enough heroes and enough maps.

That's not to say we won't love more or that we may as well stop playing it, but the real question you're asking here is if the game is dead - it is not dead, and therefore won't "return". You just load it up, pick a hero, click Ready - and it's "returned".
