I don’t know, maybe it is like Midas. The things he touches turn into something coveted, and therefore valuable, but also of little to no practical use, just like gold.

Yeah; seeing this pop up on my feed so close to another story about the increasing concentration of wealth to landlords in Canada made me both chuckle and then sigh.

something something wmds…

Didn’t I see that in a cartoon? Sam and Ralph?

First distro I got to work was LibraNet. Easy to set up and use, ran by a father-son team. Died when the father passed away. 😥

And this is how politicians manage to confuse people by conflating politics with economics, which are two different scales. You can be an economic leftist (say by supporting health care) without being an authoritarian. Same with the right.

Apple making robots, what could go wrong? (Looks up phone number for Tom Selleck)

It’s about love and companionship and everything’s fine! Just give us all of your personal information. We won’t do anything bad, we promise!

Assuming they don’t own them already as a sort of pressure valve. Yeah I’m getting that cynical.

Classic Scylla and Charybdis. Good luck on your odyssey.

The people that have problems with Windows and have to ask for help, shouldn’t be using Linux because it’ll confuse the poor souls even further.

My mother got so fed up with her windows problems that she asked me to put Linux on her computer. While she still had problems after that, she found them manageable and was happy with it ever since.

The people that know exactly how to configure and use Windows with zero problems have no need to use Linux

I was surprised to learn recently that people are still making new screen savers for it.

…library… Alexandria…

Huh, hadn’t seen that bit before, thanks for that. Ok, well that is disappointing. I did notice this bit in there too though:

What about security benefits? Even though most of the security-relevant code for Vivaldi browser is in Chromium, there is also some security-relevant code in the UI. If you think that specific security-relevant parts of the UI should be open-sourced to make Vivaldi more trustworthy, let us know, and we’ll consider putting it out as part of our code bundles, so you can check it for yourselves.

It not much consolation, but it’s better than nothing. As it stands though, FF still has too many problems for me. I’ll have to see how this ad blocking thing shakes out though, might have to revisit my decision then.

It is source-available though, so that’s a plus.

If by Opera you mean as it was back in version 12 before it got sold to some chinese company and completely changed, then yes. Nothing to do with what opera is now.

It would be easy enough to put a toggle in the settings for a ‘classic’ mode. I can see him doing that.

It’s entirely possible to not enjoy a game that is actually good. I don’t get why people like seafood either.
