Oceania tends to refer to the region, including both Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia, Micronesia, and the many small island nations.

Sometimes, we are “collectivly” treated as a continent, despite being almost all island nations with no land boarders.

We need a better funding model for open source.

Praying that people will donate enough to support your browser isn’t exactly great and really doesn’t work for most open-source projects.

Unless they are doing something new in that space, it’ll just he smooching up to big donors in back rooms.

At least Firefox is open about their deal with Google.

Expanse tight beams are on their way

I’ve had… thoughts on this lately.

I do social dance (wcs) as one of my several hobbies. And I kind of compare ot to church now. We go once a week, we do the thing, and we have a community around it, with community leaders.

The world might be slowly leaving religion behind, but I have to wonder of we’re losing something else in the process.

(Find some WCA classes in your area, we’re all weird as fuck, it’s a often a community of introverts with a niche interest in common, and set rules of interaction (would you like a dance?))

is it decades of hacky code, or decades of battle tested code?

I haven’t touched wordpress in… many years, but I’ve seen far too many developers look at old code and call it junk… only to break things horrifically when they attempt a rewrite.

Gotta ask yourself how Israel has hostages to exchange on “day 1” of “this” conflict

A port of a browser is relatively minimal effort. Typically, the changes are largely cosmetic, and occasionally skin deep.

There’s a reason none of the ports of Chrome caught the recent snafu with Google having its own special addon that fucks your privacy.

Developing a browser, Firefox or Chrome, takes a huge amount of effort, and are on a similar scale to both Windows and Linux. It’s a lot. There are a lot of places to hide things. Taking all of that, and making V2 continue to work… well it’ll be alright to start with. It’s probably a flag somewhere currently. But in 2 years time? 5 years time? It will take a lot to keep V2 working, let alone back porting V3 features that people may actually want.

Just use Firefox instead.

Ypu sre right in that the stock market, especially the US stock market, is a cluster fuck.

But it’s a cluster fuck that mostly goes up, with solid returns over the last 10-20 years in index funds. I’m not going to cut my nose to spite my face on that, especially when the populous alternatives, like being a landlord, tend to have serious ethical concerns.

For examples of why the market is fucked, something your argument clearly lacked, the biggest indicator for me is that news of large buys/saells tend to move the market much more than the actual buy/sale.

(Personal theory, derivatives pretty much control the market, and a buy/sell doesn’t interact with calls/puts typically, but the news of a sale gets people to interact with calls/puts)

The trick is to choose what to not give a fuck about.

Jack black doesn’t give a fuck about others opinions of his appearance.

He does give a fuck about death threats.

Seems pretty sensible and reasonable to me.

DAM DAM?

ACDSee even shows thumbnails for Affinity Photo project files

You’re telling me there’s an image managing program out there, that works with Affinity, and for some reason people aren’t talking about it???

If they had library management even close to what lightroom offers, I’d be there.

I may yet jump ship for photoshop.

I wanted to leave snarky comments about the only news worthy symptom would be the ability to pass it on to other humans.

I stand corrected.

I think it’s far more likely there’s some sales goal and or performance indicator at play here.

I’m really hoping for thermite. A lot of thermite.

The CDC told reporters on a call that it has not seen evidence of human to human transmission of bird flu and that it has tested close to 40 people since March, including the Michigan worker.

If, and only if, we see human to human transmission, then we sorry. Not before.

Reminder: helldivers hasn’t yet been re-enabled in the countries it was restricted from.

Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.

I set my default to duck duck go, and it’s getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity

This is pretty much it.

The city knows about your protest so they can plan accordingly.

They may also make requests of your protest, eg, could you self organise your own traffic wardens to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

It’s just that in America they realized if they complain enough, they get to rub they’re hands gleefully at the thought of all that electricity they’re going to sell, AND all the public money they’re going to get to upgrade the grid!
