For those looking for an alternative, I switched to Voyager after it became clear Sync was abandoned. It feels similar enough to me.

Not sure if many will take up the offer, but seems like a smart move from Mozilla. There is definitely demand for custom development and support in the embedded area. Lot’s of trains in Germany run Firefox on Linux for the information screens.

They, as far as I’m aware, are not reselling like private equity would. They actually take over operations and get ROI through profits.

Thanks. Yeah, increasing revenue generation by increasing monetization is definitely part of their MO.

Can you explain more what and how they ruined something for you? So far I haven’t heard of any real negative change to the applications themselves.

I think you are thinking to hard about stories that aren’t meant to be thought about a lot. Whether you half the population or double the resources it is just a temporary “fix” anyways. It’s just a plot device for creating conflict and killing off fan favorites without actually killing off fan favorites in the end.

Only in Chromium for now. Also I don’t see how it adds any new capabilities? I guess it is a little nicer syntax wise in some cases, but I might still prefer SCSS nested declarations instead.

Maybe its also a ship of theseus type situation. If you have to copy /etc/ from somewhere else, is it still the same installation?

Hm don’t agree with their choices, but interesting to read through the thought process. The more colorful theme seems more useful to me, even if I can’t remember the colors I use. I think its a VS code standard theme. I never really cared about customizing everything in general, I just keep what I found useful around.

A good friend has one, also only for one ear. People don’t really notice, I’d say. I don’t think it really restored a lot of hearing but he still wears it usually as it is still better than nothing. He got it pretty quickly after his hearing loss, so no idea how that would be after 20 years. He got them for free through standard health care as far as I know. I don’t think he’d be willing to pay a lot for it if he had to. But I never asked that directly. Not aure if that helps. If you want I can try to ask him some specific questions if I remember to do so.

Don’t have a link to the thread on Mastodon, but it was only in Singapore. So it is likely a troll or some glitch.

I know this is the wrong place to say this, but I really like the Windows Explorer. Dolphin is a good replacement, but it would be one of the few things I’d like to keep on Linux.

The true turing test

Anyone in Metal Gear Rising: Revengance of course!

Check out Hitler’s paintings. He didn’t get into art school, sure, but they aren’t awful. It is certainly beyond anything the average person could just draw without practice. This is just garbage.

I mean pedo shit aside, that’s a way shittier card and drawing than I imagined. A second grader could draw something more artistic, damn.

Well, Wikipedia describes it sufficiently vague: “a database is an organized collection of data”. But is a linked list on its own a database? I’d say the blockchain itself is the data structure but any software using it is most likely a database.

Good summary, a few additions from my side:

• Being public is not required. E.g. banks could form an internal block chain shared only with other banks.
• Blockchains are a database. An immutable and usually distributed database.

No, just how Debian LTS versioning works https://wiki.debian.org/DebianOldOldStable. So Bullseye is still fully supported with security updates, but now you really should have a plan to update 🙂
