Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What’s next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type “McDonald’s” before I can actually navigate there?

Don’t give them new ideas, Sony might jump in and patent that too.

Feel like this might be more true every year, not sure the plastic even matters.

They’re still out there technically, but they get jankier every year. The new UI they released… last year? put the nail in the coffin for a lot of the fancy ones, but there are still options out there to skin your Steam UI.

It’s chromium based, but it’s pretty custom at this point. Chrome extensions are still compatible, but the interface/etc will throw you a bit if you’re looking for something that’s a direct swap.

I’ve been using Vivalid, they have ‘Workspaces’ (as its Tab Group analog) which is different but in a way that was a pleasant surprise and kind of reminds me of older systems. Imagine working with one tab group at a time and the rest disappear when you’re not on that workspace.

If you didn’t laugh when they came up with the slogan “Together, there are more of us!”, then I don’t know what’s wrong with you.

I love Scavenger’s Reign, and don’t remember any of the characters names or the basic story at all.

I feel like it’s just a long world building art project.

Wow, Lemmy knows me, knocking it out with an absolute top tier pick at the very top of the hot comments.

Good taste, my friend.

I don’t like some of the other decisions in Garuda, but it’s become hard to get away from it when even regular non-technical people who see it are like “Whoa, what is all that” and you literally just finished installing it and didn’t even change the wallpaper. It’s a very different feeling from what I’m used to with Linux and I’m into it.

That’s 20km, only about 12 miles.

I found a guy on linkedin that has the same name, just slot him in and pretend nothing happened, wouldn’t even have to change any of the campaign marketing. Dude looks to be in his 20s and manages a coffee place, definitely more than qualified.

Yeah, anecdotes are a thing, one of my grandpas smoked a pack a day too and he beat yours and made it over 100. Our personal experiences don’t trump collected data though, we’re not the average experience and we can expect most to trend towards that.

I think they were just going off US averages. Our average lifespan has been declining past few years but it’s pretty close to 75 if you’re poor.

Gabe hasn’t always taken care of his body, but he’s rich, he’d be likely to hit around 88 in the US. The average lifespan in New Zealand is also a bit higher, so if he stays there then it may add a few years.

I wish firefox was faster but benchmarks are pretty common, it’s not hard to test. It’s kind of an unfair fight at this point honestly, large swaths of the web are just built for chrome. There are other benchmark options out there, but even using Mozilla’s own kraken benchmarking solution, it loses tremendously more than it wins. I honestly really respect them for not building their benchmarking system to make their solutions come out on top.

In some benchmarks the lag from firefox is very significant and then on the other hand, when firefox does win, chrome is usually right behind it. It’s not ideal.

A lot is kind of an understatement:

“In 2022, 81% of Mozilla’s revenues were derived from Google”

With that level of support, I don’t think an ultimatum would be required.

Lol, I did mean the former, but yes, I was imagining automation/etc taking over the role of most jobs.

I do feel like the former or something close to it should be our goal as a society.
