@airfoils Incredible - thanks for the update!
The first gitlab history entry to this issue is from *18 years ago* 
I thought I had those image previews on my ubuntu 18.04 some years ago, but maybe it was only a dream ;)

A serious question: #Ubuntu #file #picker #enable #picture #preview
and an awesome answer:
"You are hitting a sensitive issue: the infamous GTK file picker bug. It was opened in 2004, and has been closed in 2018 to be moved to the new Gnome GitLab bugtracking platform. There, the bug happily lives on up to this day."...

"Jon Ross, who wrote the original version of SimCity for Windows 3.x, told me that he accidentally left a bug in SimCity where he read memory that he had just freed. Yep. It worked fine on Windows 3.x, because the memory never went anywhere. Here’s the amazing part: On beta versions of Windows 95, SimCity wasn’t working in testing. Microsoft tracked down the bug and added specific code to Windows 95 that looks for SimCity. If it finds SimCity running, it runs the memory allocator in a special mode that doesn’t free memory right away. That’s the kind of obsession with backward compatibility that made people willing to upgrade to Windows 95."

I just bought SimCity 4 (from 2010) on Steam 2 days ago for my little one, to teach a lesson of history and fun 😅

Incredibly satisfying read. Fuck all these assholes who crowned themselves the Savers of Society without asking any of the rest of us what we wanted even once https://ez.substack.com/p/moving-fast-and-breaking-things

I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.
Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.
Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.
