Just like us.

Of course, that’s precisely the point.

I ditched FreeBSD and Slackware when I got tired of installing everything from scratch on every major release. Compiling stuff from source was interesting for learning and seeing how amazing open source can be, but it wasn’t fun long term.

Then I ditched Ubuntu because there was always something not working on laptops, usually related to hibernation/sleep and/or webcam/wireless. I was frustrated with how little care was put into making sure such basic things would simply work.

I’m currently very satisfied with Mint. Everything just works out of the box and Mint X is a lovely theme for old folks like me, who appreciate a proper good looking desktop and can’t understand what all the hype is with dark/flat themed UIs these days.

You do realize that makes it even more disappointing, right? I mean, trying to understand what Brexit was after voting for it? My goodness.

Ah ok, so Brexit was caused by Russians now. I thought it was caused by the people who voted to leave the EU.

That’s a fallacy. Teenagers are the victims here. So I’m obviously blaming greedy corporations, lack of good parenting and proper regulation from authorities.

This comment won’t fix it for you, but I can definitely relate to what you’re saying. I’ve spent so much time optimizing my web games in a way that they run more-or-less consistently the same in any modern browser, it was probably as much work as it was put in the games themselves. I do maintain my own engine, so I was aware of the cost.

The thing is, now Firefox is officially one of the last browsers employing their own rendering engine. The other one is probably Safari. I’m not aware of any others that do that. All other major browsers are using Chromium under the hood, and we know how this industry ruthlessly optimizes things for popularity. I won’t delve into how many software layers of responsibility are involved in playing a video game in a web browser. My point is, if something is “passable” for a couple popular browsers, very few people will bother with checking why the less popular ones might have some sub-par performance.

The Go programming language allows developers to fetch modules directly from version control platforms like GitHub.

This is absolutely not just specific to Go.

Where else?

Teenagers should not be on social media. I rest my case.

Two people were arrested in raids carried out across several states.

I bet those states lie somewhere in the south.

Bottom line: Lunatics gonna be lunatics, with AI or not.

I still use Ecosia.org for most of my research on the Internet. It doesn’t need as much resources to fetch information as an AI bot would, plus it helps plant trees around the globe. Seems like a great deal to me.

So it’s official now, they are at the same time evil and stupid. These guys aren’t even pretending to be good anymore.

Thank you.

I can’t take seriously articles about the Internet that don’t even capitalize “Internet” correctly.

That ship has sailed. Hence this being called a “post-PC era”.

Everyone is abandoning Android

What do you mean?

If the kid was left behind, it would eventually become Blanka.

Tab groups have always been there. They’re called windows.
