Isn't just wonderful that clothes come with their sources? If you slice the different parts off with a seamripper, lay them all down, trace them on new fabric, cut them out, and stitch them back together, you can effectively clone and fork garments. I realize that this is probably real obvious to most people, but it only dawned on me recently.
So, that’s what I’ve been up to, most nights my laptop is stowed away to make room for the sewing machine on the nav table. It all began when the store that made the patrol cap that Rek and I wear stopped carrying it. The seams of the old worn-out cap were cut, new 14oz canvas was bought and the cap was cloned, twice! I enjoyed the process so much, I made a new messenger backpack, fixed ripped panels on my winter jacket, sown tartan wool arm warmers and some other things. At one point, I realized that I was wearing six items of clothing I had made or mended.
I have some old clothes i loved but are unfixable stowed away for exact the reason of remaking them in different fabrics 😁

This is frustrating because the unnamed people advising that were wrong. It confuses trapping page focus in a modal to blocking users from using the rest of their browser. Also, ugh APG.

If you find someone advising it, be wary of their UI / accessibility chops.

Accessibility advice around modals have commonly taught us to trap focus within the modal. Upon further research, it seems like we no longer need to trap focus within the (even in modal mode).Zell Liew (CSS-Tricks)

Great compilation!
I guess most of those failed not because they were bad, but were really different of what Linux should be, they tried too much to be just like Apple and naturally failed, but I am glad to see that now we are getting much better things like those that are much better and not proprietary!
Probably, my favorite on the list is Unity, however, it also failed due to their other products fail... But I think GNOME is much better nowadays! Unity felt like Windows 8 UI.
