I think what you are looking for is Containers. FF uses containers to wall things off from each other, whereas Private sessions are still all sandboxed together, as you discovered. I know this is quite different from how Safari, for example, handles things, but you can accomplish the same things, just a little differently.
Oh man, I feel you. Worst thing for my last cat was he had to get radiation therapy for his hyperthyroidism. So he had never been away from home overnight and they have to keep them like 4 days until the radiation is out of their system enough to come home BUT they say no cuddling or sleeping next to them for another 3 days. He was SO SAD when I would push him away to the other side of the couch and when I had to lock him out of the bedroom for the first time ever.
Meanwhile, my $30 Roku can accurately look up a movie and what services I can play it on by voice while my $30 freaking REMOTE on my $500 PS5 still has no clue…
Haha, yep that's a good example!
Yeah that's a pretty fun stage. I personally still like a lot of the OG stages like Frasier Wells, Cote de Abroz, Mineshaft and Pirka Maneko , but anything else by Rally Guru is amazing too (like PS Valstagna, Torsby, etc).
Looks like you're on your way!
Two pieces of advice I'd give—it didn't look like you ever did the handbrake while you were doing the first stage. I'd def practice handbrake turns some more as they are vital to getting better times on stages with a lot of hairpins. (Jeux Verte is a great stage for practicing this.)
Also, you might switch to numeric pace notes asap. They're going to be numeric in the new WRC (if you use the standard ones) and K-right vs Care right is never very clear using the original RBR call system, so it helps with that as well as being a few more variants than what you get with mediem, sharp, k, hairpin, etc. Plus if you get a stage that hasn't had the pacenotes reworked for it by Luppis, it is easier to figure out the mental conversion in your head with numeric. (Eg, I am crashing and dying when I treat this like a normal 5, I need to subtract 2 from all the calls on this stage to make it through alive.)
Well, yes. I probably still would. But that's me. And also, you're talking about "instant access" when actually if you want access to a specific and popular book there's usually a wait of a couple weeks to a couple months. So some people who really want that book are going to want to read it right now and might buy it for the instant access whenever they want?
At any rate, there are people who use the library and people who don't. I read like 2-3 digital books a year usually—only when the library failed to get a physical copy, basically. But I only buy a few of those books for home use (physically again) because there are only a few that I really like enough to own. But that has been the case with library users practically since libraries were invented, so it's not that new a situation.
Scribd I can't speak to as I don't use that at all, but it kind of sounds like Kindle Unlimited, so… if they're paying the authors, it needs to be adjusted enough to where the authors are getting a decent cut per use. This is the same as with Spotify and music. It's something that has to be worked out obviously, but there's nothing to say it couldn't happen as far as I know.
I think the point is if you like the book you hopefully buy a copy for yourself? I tend to read like 40 books a year and if I didn’t use the library extensively the foundations on my house would crumbled under the weight. As it is I still end up acquiring probably 5 or 10 new books a year despite everything.
(But at least they’re ones I know are good.)
As everyone else has said, I don't consider it a problem. Earth is pretty far over carrying capacity as it is.
This. This is why I am in the “I still buy CDs” camp. DL the album and if I’m still listening to it a couple days later I buy the CD, assuming the artist still even releases on CD…
If you're just testing on it you can get away wit pretty much anything as long as it's Apple Silicon. I would think a used M1 Mini is probably your cheapest bet, and as a bonus you can use it as a media serve for Plex of something when you're not testing on it.
If it's got to be a laptop form factor, then yes, an MBA is probably your best bet.
