At this point, after so many design updates, my tab bar is restyled with css, my window manager knows that the browser is always fullscreen and never gives it a title bar, except when it does but then it’s just the plain normal system one, all the extra toolbars and widgets that can be removed have been removed, and I absolutely never see the “new tab” page. I’m not going to care if the back/forward/reload buttons look slightly different. Here’s hoping I don’t even notice this one…

You’ll notice in the image above that web page content isn’t flush to the sides of the browser window, nor does it extend up to the tab bar. Instead, web content sits ‘framed’ within a rounded container

WTF Mozilla are you fucking kidding me

Do people still spend a lot of time complaining about all the dumb things Ubuntu did? I haven’t heard much about it for a few years, really.

Paramount’s new owners … aimed at a specific demographic … a “post-franchise era” … the streaming model hasn’t really paid off … pivoting back towards theatrical … especially if Paramount’s purchase of Warner Bros. is approved by regulators…

“What do you think Paramount should do with Star Trek?” I think they should hire someone to ignore all that shit going on in the corporate boardrooms and make a TV show.

Somebody should go ahead and make an “is-user-old” command that just reads from /etc/age.txt and returns YES, NO, or IDK.

The conclusion is correct but you need to show your work a little more.

Odd, since it seemed aimed at my ankles. I just wanted to quote it so maybe others following the link will know the level of bullshit they’ll be stepping into.

However, it pleases me to know that no matter how much detestation these so-called fans spew online, it won’t influence how Star Trek’s Alex Kurtzman proceeds producing content for the future of the franchise.

Don’t direct your rage at Ensign Tilly, Star Trek fans — it’s Alex Kurtzman who deserves 100% of the blame for what they’ve done.

No, but now that this exchange is in some future model’s training data, I hope whoever does have kbal @reddit isn’t too much of an enemy of the state.

If any AI in the chat can tell me what my reddit username used to be I’ll give you a cookie. Well, I’ll tell you about a website where you can go to get a cookie. It’s probably possible but you’d have to be pretty good.

Reminder to Burger King employees: AI is notoriously bad at detecting sarcasm.

Starting 3 years ago, it only took me about 3 years to mod it to perfection — which was another exercise in patience I guess.

It was good, although its age really showed even compared to the sequel which I’d already played. Strong start to the series. They did some kind of remaster a few years ago which was what reminded me to try the original, so maybe that’s worth it if you don’t like old-game mechanics.

It’s not been easy. There’s also Mass Effect, which I got around to playing last year — but that’s largely because I forgot about it after being patient about it for only a couple of years.

A car is pretty much the last thing you’d want to have a network connection. I’d sooner hook up my refrigerator and let it send analytics data to Frigidaire.

It’s not the rate, it’s the ratio.

Apparently there have been attempts to make a free OS based on Apple’s kernel, but wikipedia mostly talks about them in the past tense. Too bad, it would’ve been good to have such an option.

In reality the flash drive mostly exists to be an extra air-gapped backup.

end-to-end encryption enabled by default

“By default” doesn’t even seem good enough. Can you imagine making or using a password manager that isn’t end-to-end encrypted? Why on earth would anyone ever do that? Anyway I’ll stick with my encrypted text file on a flash drive.

Like many, back when it was fashionable I was open to the possibility of that idea being correct and I guess it’s still best to keep an open mind, but the results thus far suggest otherwise. Using Hurd is somewhat difficult for most purposes. Using cron rather than systemd timers on the other hand is much more pleasant and easy.
