I have a great idea. How about pasting this comment everywhere?

Fuck that, just implant those mice on my scalp.

I know it’s just part of the reason, but there’s one more thing we can be thankful for to Microsoft. I hope they keep butchering Windows, and slowly but steadily they make business applications and multiplayer games transition to Linux.

Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time and they will join you in not understanding.

I’m saying this as a 2 year convert Firefox user: mostly easily replaceable. Sure, I can browse pretty much every page that I can on chrome. However, a few sites don’t work the same way - sometimes because of the site’s conscious decision, sometimes because of Firefox.

Take Facebook, for example. On desktop, I can’t make voice calls anymore from the desktop site. For a while it was possible with non encrypted chats, but now pretty much all of them are encrypted, and FF is not compatible with that. I also can’t watch h265 videos in my chats anymore. I’m still sticking with FF, but I just can’t easily say that FF is just as good for everything (I’m still not going back to chrome).

Fall into me

And drown inside me

I know you will see

The beauty of me

Also, I’ve seen this episode of Tom Scott.

We are the plastic eating bacteria.

The satellite dish would press against your hip bone.

70 year old management member who came up with the idea of using this metric in the first place:

• “The system shows you haven’t touched your mouse for half an hour.”

• “Yes, I worked out a solution on paper, like back in the old days.”

Independence day was indeed a great movie. Who would have thought they also use X86 architecture?

Are you… Are you saying EVERYTHING can be hacked with one line of code?

Back then, when I wanted to watch a film, I checked Netflix first, then amazon video. I only reached for other sources if it was unavailable at both. Now there are way too many platforms to pay for, and they are getting way too shitty to pay at all.

There was a time when I was even feeling good going “clean”. Now everything is dirtier than I ever imagined.

Same here but with several games that don’t run on Linux. For some degree, I even understand the problem, however painful it is: ANY multilayer’s anticheat is a pain in the ass if you have to develop them for two OSs at the same time. Counter Strike: Source was virtually unbannable on Linux for way too long, and I’m still not sure where CS2 is standing now (I stopped back in the CSGO times).

I really don’t know how we could fix this, and no, cutting off THAT many games I like is not an option (some of them even barely have a (good) alternative - think of Rocket League).

Humans are selfish by definition (genes). It would be like rewinding a film and starting over.

The main problem lies within humans’ tendency to put themselves (their family/tribe/culture/etc.) before others’. I know there are fantastic people who don’t, but in the grand scheme of things, humanity will always be too selfish in general. I’d bet that will be our bane (we’re kind of slowly killing ourselves with it already).

I’m just secretly hoping that the term ‘astrocomb’ comes from Spaceballs.

God forbid I recommended you to buy an HP ever, but it feels like they’ve been awful only in the ink jet section. At least my HP laser printer (283 something) doesn’t require me to have a(n) HP Smart account (I don’t even know how/where to set up one), I’ve had it for ~3-4 years now, and it’s been reliable and trusty ever since. I can imagine they started pulling the same shady shit with the new laser printers, but this one seems to be working as of now. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: Still buy a Brother, I have only heard amazing things about them; just saying it’s not happening everywhere - yet.

I just thought I would log in to Twitch just to say hi to the streamer I was in the same game with. Twitch loads, starts to play the stream with no problem. BUT when I try to login, it says Firefox is not a supported browser. It had no problem playing all the content, showing the chat, etc. - but for some reason it still says my browser is not supported and I can’t log in. I looked it up. FF is “not supported” because it has an enhanced tracking protection feature. Twitch wants to track you, and it can’t if you use Firefox. Such a petty way; this will just turn me away from Twitch even more.

Since the API exodus, I’ve only been using Google to look up something on reddit, strictly using cached versions only (no not give any more traffic to reddit). Whenever I could only find uncached hits, I still did the click of shame.

Thanks reddit, now I can cut the last cord. I couldn’t have done it without you.

As someone who just converted from Chrome to Firefox 1-2 months ago: what alternative can you recommend to Google Drive? I wouldn’t miss everything from it, but being able to easily share data (so that they can play videos, audio files or documents without having to manually download them) is one of them.

EDIT: and maybe Google Photos. Mainly for syncing.
