Apart from the Edge browser, they have almost nothing else: no OneDrive, no Weather or Contacts apps, and no Windows Mail or whatever it's called this week

Similar experience - almost everything just works in Steam, you just might have to go in to the menu and click a box to tell it to use Proton. More and more games don't even require that, though, they have native Linux support.

With the announcement of Switch 2, I've been working at finishing up Switch games. Currently doing FE3H. I got it on first release and did one route, Claude's. I'm now working on finishing the other three routes. I just finished Edelgard's route, and started Dimitri's a couple of days ago.
After that, next up is Okami HD.

Comment on Firefox now supports native vertical tabs in 136.0 release in ~tech

I'd go nutty dealing with top tabs trying to find what I'm looking for.
Although my first side tab experience was actually based on a screen ratio thing rendering a browser unusable without them - I had one of those old Acer Aspire One netbooks with a 1024x600 screen. The vertical space was so tiny that just being able to ditch the tab bar was a massive usability improvement. I got used to it then and I've stuck with it for 15 years since!

Watching the sidebar icon, dragging it to the left all the way seems to be essentially a shortcut to clicking close on that.
Can't comment on the new window part. I usually have two windows open all the time side by side (ultrawide monitor that I use like two old 4:3 monitors just with no bezel) so I don't open a new window very regularly.

Also a Fed although in a much more secure position (posting from my phone while work computer is busy doing its boot up security stuff - at least it doesn't take 30 minutes to start all the security software like it did a few years ago, McAfee sucks but we're mandated to use it). It's been a wild couple of years these last couple of weeks.

The part that really caught my eye is that apparently, the incoming aircraft had been routed on to a relatively unusual approach. They would usually land on runway 01 (the longest central runway), but were switched to runway 33 on approach - a shorter runway but long enough to handle a regional jet. For those who don't watch CGPGrey - add a 0 to the end and the number roughly corresponds to the compass direction you use to approach the runway. These runways are close enough in orientation that the jet could be easily redirected with minimal disruption at the time it happened, about 10 minutes before anticipated landing, but far enough apart that the helo pilot could easily get confused between traffic approaching 01 and 33. They very well might have had sight of what they thought was their target aircraft, as they reported they were in visual to the tower (who very shortly before the accident apparently observed the closeness of the approach and instructed the helo to maintain visual and pass behind the jet), but actually had sight of one that was closer to landing to 01.
A map of DCA Reagan runways to get a visual idea - 01 is the long north/south runway, 33 is the one that starts about halfway up the length of 01 on the right. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Washington_national_airport.jpg

It really wasn't a good area for the helicopter pilots to be going at the best of times. -

Time to break out the good 'ol rifle, it's open season on the most dangerous game!"
[1] An old west declaration of "outlaw" pretty much meant a person was effectively no longer considered a person in the eyes of the law or government - they had no rights, no privileges, and no protections.

I'm still working on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Picking a game that takes 150 hours or so to full clear all the routes is not helping me finish quickly, although it's been enjoyable hours! I have about half of one route left.
Oh, and getting distracted by starting Tactical Breach Wizards because I didn't have my Switch nearby and wanted to play some tactics isn't helping get it done either... Fantastic little indie game though!
