vvv , to linux in Firefox "tabs" in a tiling WM

something to consider here… Firefox lazy-loads out of focus tabs when you start it, so if you’re a tab hoarder, it’s nice for just the one active tab per window to load when you start the browser.

I’m not sure that you can get it to do the same with “out of focus” windows. or maybe I have a tab hoarding problem.

hallettj ,
@hallettj@leminal.space avatar

Yeah, the first thing I do when I log in is restore my Firefox session, which includes several windows with quite a lot of tabs. I also use the Auto Tab Discard extension so I can keep lots of tabs in my workspace without having all of them loaded all the time.

linuxPIPEpower ,

in case you don’t know, you can discard tabs natively without an extension in FF now by going to URL about:unloads. it’s a newish feature in the past year or so. much more rudimentary than Auto Tab Discard but gets the job done with one less extension.

My favourite part of Morbius was when it became a meme because of how bad it was, and then the soulless robots in the movie industry who make the decisions noticed there was a lot of talk about Morbius on the internet and re-released it so it could flop a second time.

Mechaguana ,

Its je crois

Zagorath ,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

In English, the phrase I was going for was “I would think”. It’s correct in English, and means mostly the same thing as “I think”, with slightly different connotations. I’m not exactly sure how to verbalise what those connotations are, just that in this case it felt better. I think in this context it made it slightly more comical/sardonic?

Obviously, “je croirais” is the correct literal translation of “I would think”. But does it not work to carry a similar connotation in French? And if not, is there some other phrase/conjugation of croire I could use to get across that tone?

Unfortunately my French knowledge is almost entirely academic, so knowing how to use it with more nuance than literal word-for-word changes is a bit beyond me, outside of where that is obviously academically inappropriate.

Mr_Blott ,

Je croirais would more mean “I would believe” (conditional) as in “I’d believe it if I saw it myself”

In English it’s not conditional

    You are very much mistaken

    Mechaguana ,
    @Mechaguana@programming.dev avatar

    It exists but there is no condition in what his said so the conditionnel cannot apply

    Tetsuo ,

    IMO “Je croirais” is related to the verb “to believe”.

    “I think” would most likely be translated to “Je pense”.

    A thinker is a “penseur” in French.

    So basically, you could end the sentence (or even better start it) with “Je pense”.

    Here I would say “Je pense que [Insert doubtful info]”.

    BenVimes ,

    When I was learning French I was told penser and croire were interchangeable in this context.

    Tetsuo ,

    The issue here is more the fact that “Je croirais” doesn’t exist.

    It’s close to “Je croirai” which is simple futur (Futur simple).

    So what you said is closer to "I will believe ".

    The past tense that would work here would be :

    “Je croyais que” (Imparfait).

    But yeah you could say “Je croyais que” or “Je pensais que” both would be fine.

    Mr_Blott ,
    Evkob ,
    @Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

    You’re mistaken, “je croirais” exists, it’s the “conditionnel présent” (conditionnal present).

    Example sentence: “Je te croirais si t’avais des preuves.” (Translation: “I would believe you if you had proof”).

    Zagorath ,
    @Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

    the fact that “Je croirais” doesn’t exist

    Okay this I’m very confident is incorrect. I’m very open to the idea that it might not be correct to use in the way I used it here, but it definitely exists. It’s the conditional tense, first person singular conjugation of croire.

    Tetsuo ,

    Yes, it’s a complete fail on my part.

    I wanted to verify how to conjugate this verb and ended up on a classic website “Le conjugueur”.

    But you can’t use that website anymore without accepting cookies. So I went to the “Le monde” conjugueur but it just didn’t show conditional present.

    That being said I knew and used many times “je croirais” so I don’t know what went through my mind :(

    Mechaguana , (edited )
    @Mechaguana@programming.dev avatar

    You would need to add a condition to conjugate it that way so it becomes a conditionnel présent, but coloqually you are still under this belief, so I thought it was best to just assume that the present simple was best for your answer.

    However you could say you were going for the futur antérieur, but I would think isint in the future…

    UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.

    EPQ stands for “Extended Project Qualification”, and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.

    A-level? Enhancement subject? Is that like something you can hand in for extra credit?

    hellfire103 OP ,
    @hellfire103@sopuli.xyz avatar

    A-Levels are a British standardised exam, at the same level as the American SATs. However, they are much harder.

    An enhancement subject is (AFAIK) a way of getting more UCAS points, which increases your chances of being accepted at some universities.
