DB: the train is late 5 minutes. Actually 20. Actually 45. Actually 97. Actually the train was just cancelled 1 hour ago for no reason, but we were too afraid to tell you because you might get mad 👉🏻👈🏻

Animals are really smart. Racoon would never make a dumb post like this one, for instance.

Specially torrenting safely. In some countries you can get fines for torrenting.

Both Bing and Yahoo have outbid Google in certain countries in the past. There’s a new wave of AI powered startups with tons of venture capital. I could imagine them making sizable bids.

But I get what you mean. The main difference to your scenario is: search money will definitely not totally disappear, Mozilla has huge savings, and they can just finally pivot and focus on making a real premium offer that people would want to pay for.

They have enough cash reserves to last 3 years without any income. But 15% of income is Google free. If Google disappears, they will surely get an income hit, but someone else will gladly pay some price for that position, perhaps half of what Google is paying. People are really blowing this out of proportion.

People who vape are using nicotine much, much more often because it’s just so much easier now. And it taste like bubblegum. The whole idea of vape as a means to quit smoking was a myth created by vaping companies. Nicotine is also bad for you, not just the smoke. And then there’s the issues of the other compounds inside vaping liquids that should be heading into your lungs. It’s insane we let this get this far.

You got it wrong actually. Firefox is not really actively using all the ram. It’s more like reserving it. The system does that too. When the actual used RAM gets low, Firefox releases some of this unused RAM.

Yeah. Firefox will gladly make itself comfy in my 32Gb… It’s annoying because just because 80% of RAM is “used” doesn’t mean it is really.

I’ve no idea. I haven’t used it single college.

Always been.

VS Code is an electron app, mostly likely coded by some flavour of Javascript developers, so I doubt it was ever planned to go in the same direction as Visual Studio. VS Code follows a design very close to what Sublime made popular.

Beer is nutricious, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore the very damaging effects of alcohol and give it to children. Children should not be on social media unsupervised. Social media isn’t a source of information.

OK?

The new software design trends is to break free for skeumorphism completely. “tabs” are no longer tabs, they are buttons or whatever. Firefox is doing the same.

How can this harm children?

And the most dangerous part here is the whole rethoric of “if you disagree, you are a Russian shill”.

Linus has never been the best communicator, but he usually speaks the truth. But this is just bonkers and wrong. Not everyone living in Russia has “ties with Russia” other than “they were born there”. If this is about sanctions, he could have still just told them that. But instead he just disrespected contributors completely and then double down in it by being xenophobic.

Yes, but this action sounds as effective against Russian espionage as burning any clothes that has red blue and white in them.

I can barely cycle in some of these sidewalks.

That would not work in my neighbourhood. Narrow sidewalks, very old and bumpy. And they would block a wheelchair user.
