Another fun fact: the music for that ad was also stolen

Applications like Teams still don’t work on Firefox because they rely on the buggy pre-standard implementation of WebRTC in Chrome, while Firefox follows the web standards.

Science doesn’t have to be slow. Politics and funding are usually the bottleneck.

All public websites need SSL.

Nothing. They should do exactly that. As usual the US government has proven that it cannot be trusted or relied on.

I plan to do the same with my kid as my parents did: PC in the living room. That way I can at least keep an eye on what they are doing. I haven’t figured out what to do about smart phones yet, but I got at least 8 years before that becomes an issue.

Online dating and 4chan are both not suitable for children

I just started playing “Dave the Diver”. It’s been a lot of fun so far. There are a lot of systems to play with, and you keep unlocking more. I just unlocked the fish farm.

Didn’t you hear? Digg is coming back, now with AI!

My personal pet theory is that these weirdo’s are just afraid of dying. Christianity is fundamentally a death cult. Die now and get rewarded in heaven. But these extreme evangelicals found a loophole: the rapture. During the end times god saves all the true believers. Boom, a one way ticket to heaven without having to die. So these lunatics are actively trying to make the end times happen so they don’t miss out and they don’t have to die.

Get a Roborock. I love my S7 vac + mop. I have two long haired cats and a kid. It’s awesome!

What is a good open platform for the tech business? My corp want to go full Teams, which sucks even more than Slack. At least most tooling has a Slack integration of some sort.

Read the article. The CMA found they were not dynamically priced. Just unfairly.

Most distros have automated updates, or ask to update on power-off. Debian and all derivatives do. As for major updates, I do those for my tech illiterate family. It’s not like they can do that themselves, but they wouldn’t be able to upgrade Windows themselves either.

Vivaldi is based on Chromium. When Google kills manifest v2 in a few months, Vivaldi will be forced to follow. They can’t maintain a full fork. So, no more uBlock in Vivaldi.

No, Linux is also great for tech illiterate people who just need a browser and e-mail. It’s only hard for people who think they know computers but really only know some Windows

It’s not about the wall. That’s just for shits and giggles (and clickbait). The real problem is that the Tesla also ran over a mannequin in rain and fog, while the Lexus with lidar did not.

Have you tried watching the entire video? The wall is just for shits and giggles. The parts where the Tesla runs over a mannequin in the fog and rain while the lidar Lexus does not is much more serious.

Have you heard of DeArrow? https://dearrow.ajay.app/

It’s a browser extension that replaces clickbait thumbnails with good community sourced ones

Old artificial hearts used to do that. It works but pulsing is better for your long term health IIRC.
