Sounds pricey. Discs are cheap.

I’d guess that the down votes weren’t because it wasn’t true, but rather simply that the fact made them unhappy. Not the best use of down votes, but understandable.

Which has its own downside, that being the up-front cost.

“Press Play on tape.”

“File found. Loading…”

(takes a bath, goes for a walk, reads a book…)

Ah the memories…

But where to store it all now?

I came here to say this. I don’t really do networking so I don’t have much care for this issue, but the clarity of the explanation was enjoyable. Plus I learned a couple of little things too.

I don’t know, maybe it is like Midas. The things he touches turn into something coveted, and therefore valuable, but also of little to no practical use, just like gold.

Yeah; seeing this pop up on my feed so close to another story about the increasing concentration of wealth to landlords in Canada made me both chuckle and then sigh.

something something wmds…

Didn’t I see that in a cartoon? Sam and Ralph?

It’s not bad, but personally I prefer to keep my task bar separate and horizontal, which I don’t think would work with this. Plus my ultra-wide would make it more work to reach than the top and bottom.

I’d post my desktop but it’s been getting so buggy lately. Task bar flickering, widgets getting squished. But I can’t even look into those yet because I’m trying to figure out why my desktop sessions aren’t being saved or restored anymore. Is this just life using Tumbleweed?

Apple making robots, what could go wrong? (Looks up phone number for Tom Selleck)

It’s about love and companionship and everything’s fine! Just give us all of your personal information. We won’t do anything bad, we promise!

Assuming they don’t own them already as a sort of pressure valve. Yeah I’m getting that cynical.

Classic Scylla and Charybdis. Good luck on your odyssey.

The people that have problems with Windows and have to ask for help, shouldn’t be using Linux because it’ll confuse the poor souls even further.

My mother got so fed up with her windows problems that she asked me to put Linux on her computer. While she still had problems after that, she found them manageable and was happy with it ever since.

The people that know exactly how to configure and use Windows with zero problems have no need to use Linux

Nobody has zero problems with either os. The difference is whether you want to deal with problems that are just technical, or due to incompetence and profit motive.

Huh, hadn’t seen that bit before, thanks for that. Ok, well that is disappointing. I did notice this bit in there too though:

What about security benefits? Even though most of the security-relevant code for Vivaldi browser is in Chromium, there is also some security-relevant code in the UI. If you think that specific security-relevant parts of the UI should be open-sourced to make Vivaldi more trustworthy, let us know, and we’ll consider putting it out as part of our code bundles, so you can check it for yourselves.

It not much consolation, but it’s better than nothing. As it stands though, FF still has too many problems for me. I’ll have to see how this ad blocking thing shakes out though, might have to revisit my decision then.

It is source-available though, so that’s a plus.

If by Opera you mean as it was back in version 12 before it got sold to some chinese company and completely changed, then yes. Nothing to do with what opera is now.
