Yes, yes I will, well Chromium forks.
Yeah, I’m not going to switch to a Manifest V3 browser because Firefox puts in access to an optional AI agent. If Firefox makes it so you can’t turn it off, which I wouldn’t think is likely, I might switch to something like Librewolf, but Chromium? No.
“Chilling moment”
They never stop trying to convince us, do they? This is only chilling if you’re an ultrawealthy sack of shit.
A nice M.L.T. - a mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe…
This is precisely the concept of Asimov’s short story All the Troubles of the World.
Ah yes, the Cox Communications model.
Hey I just did it! I completed my migration today. The only reason I keep a desktop around at all is for gaming and I’ve been locked into Windows for years because of it, but no more. Steam is a given, but I’m running games off Epic and Gog through Heroic and standalone games using Lutris (ESO and Elite Dangerous so far). Not a single problem with any of them.
Mint is great, the only complaints I have are minor and I can easily deal with them. Like when you launch things, you don’t always get a cursor animation to tell you you successfully set something in motion and you just have to wait for the window to pop up. That kind of thing.
Strange, I put the same link in one of my comments and a mod removed it.

I like JavaScript a lot and would be excited by its use in this context.
Ah yes, White Christmas. That episode fucked me up. It’s a depiction of hell, straight up. And heaven is depicted similarly in San Junipero - not sure if you have seen that one.
Awesome. 👍 There’s variations in stoves and beans, etc, so if for some reason they’re too al dente, just keep cooking in 15 minute increments until you’re where you want to be.
That looks and sounds great! I use navy beans in my seven vegetable soup.
The great thing is you are in control. My navy beans, for example (and you should try them, they have such a great flavor when cooked in salted water as described) - if you don’t want mush, just cook them for 1 hour (instead of 2) after the soak. They will be discrete and the skins will be intact and they will be absolutely al dente. I bet you’ll dig them.
For 1/2 lb beans I use 3 cups water and 1/2 Tbs kosher salt.
It does make a difference. It’s not preservation, the beans will still go bad, but soaking and cooking in salt water reduces the water available to microbes and inhibits their growth. The result is (and I have observed this directly) the beans last about twice as long in the fridge before they start to have that “I’m not gonna eat that” appearance and smell.
Surely you knew one or more guys who were overly excitable/dramatic or one or more girls who were like… the opposite of feminine? I knew them, I can think back now and see in my head the faces of the ones I would suspect, lol. I recently had one of them reach out to me through Facebook (I’m not on Facebook but my SO is) and sure enough, she has a wife now and I just thought “yep, that tracks.”
Can someone explain to me why Rust enthusiasts are so evangelical about it? I get that it’s memory safe, OK - super great. But rewriting a stable, small-but-important legacy tool doesn’t seem like a good place to prove its worth. Surely there are a million better places? And yet when I heard about this, it totally seemed to track. I’ve never touched Rust but I already find its proponents to be strangely focused on it. I never felt such religious zeal with regard to a programming language.
If they’re truly dumbfounded by all this, then they’re so braindead that they very likely voted for it. No sympathy at all.
Cyberpunk has a city that actually feels like a real city to me.
Same here, I got hired as a “webmaster” at a place that had been using some Yahoo web services for their website and they had dialup Internet accounts for everybody in the office. For the same money I got them access to a fractional T1 and set up a server on an old 486 gathering dust in the back room. We served up their webpages from in-house. They thought I was a god, I was just a big fat resume-padded liar who stayed up reading Usenet all night lol. Those were the days and I’ll never forget that distro:
