odelik,

“Go commit a hate crime! And one of you is definitely going to escalate beyond burning and we won’t be there to support you when you commits physical violence to a member of the LGBTQ+ community!”

odelik,

Firefox + “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies” extension makes post GDPR UX shenanigans so much better.

odelik,

So do you like Biden for this, since you’ve been blindly critical of Biden for “supporting genocide”? Since this is Biden escalating repercussions to Israel, this is a good thing in your eyes, right?

Or are you posting this because Israel is now being crticial of Biden and any critical message about Biden is OK with you?

odelik,

This is where all of you are mistaken.

These are public service positions, not professions. Thinking of these as professions only encourages entitlement, power, and greed.

odelik,

It’s a tone thing.

There’s a few regular article posters than either post articles with a certain tone to the headline or they editorialize the post title to fit their narrative. It’s similar to how you can notice how somebody you’re familiar with writes and uses language and can identify potential alt/sock puppet accounts from them.

Due to this I’ve come to believe that these people are astro-turfers with a disengenous agenda.

odelik,

I wouldn’t expect much explaining to come from a Tropical Ding Dong.

odelik,

I switched off of Firefox because of those memory leaks. I remeber when it hit the tech news circles when the community contributer that was frustrated with them went in and fixed two of the biggest culprits.

Then I just didn’t bother til somewhat recently. For the most part, it’s great and does what ilI want/need. Biggest complaint is that some UX overhauls are needed for Mobile FX, especially around tab management.

odelik,

Firefox had some major memory leaks when Chrome first launched (2008). It became noticeable with the more tabs you had and the longer the browser was opened. This was also during the days for consumer systems with 16GB max RAM & 32GB on higher end enthusiast systems.

We also have to remeber that this was 10 years before Google removed their “Don’t be Evil” motto, and there was still a great deal of trust that had been earned by tech professionals.

So when Chrome came in, had a minimalist UI (for the time) and was light weight and memory light without any obvious memory leaks, it was a performance boost for a toooon of users.

Chrome has since become a memory hog and is now being developed and pushed by a company that has become heavily enshittified & evil. Firefox has become lightweight, memory efficient, and is an FOSS product that’s not evil and enshittified making it the right choice in 2024, but is going to be an uphill battle that hopefully more tech professionals move to as Manifest V3 becomes a reality.

odelik,

They’ll have Elon Musk spread more lies on Twitter about migrants illegally voting or something.

I vividly remeber the lead up to Jan 6.

I remeber the language being used by these idiots online. Coded language telling us what was going to happen.

I remeber people exposing “private” conversation histories private forums, discord’s, etc where these groups were planning Jan 6 to the internet masses and telling progressives, liberals, and other left leaning people to stay away from the Jan 6 proceedings and not to show up to counter-protest. We knew from those exposed convos they planned on using any counter-protester presence as a patsy.

And of course, I vividly remeber Jan 6 and watching 3 different news streams the same time and and scouring the internet for any live streams from idiots broadcasting their shit on social media. I remeber hey gleeful those fuckers were, how they espoused that “revolution!”, “Hang Mike Pence.”

I also watched the Jan 6 Senate Comitte Hearings and have read through the highlights of the Final Report.

The FBI didn’t entrap shit. You fuckers planned this in broad daylight. I’m gonna Look Up when you tell me not to, because I see you for the liars you are.

odelik,

And you’ll have a choice to not install them. Or to install versions that you know how they were trained and have guardrails you approve of.

odelik,

I’m an American, I won’t get the luxuries of the EU court rulings.

odelik,

Give Trump the Boote [BOHT]!

odelik,

I mean, technically, conttaips are composed of chemical compounds. Mainly dihydrogen monoxide which is one of the most dangerous chemicals there are!

odelik,

But it’s not sarcasm.

Those are things the Blizzard employees have had happen to them. The boys club that was going on there was horrific and the women that worked there went through a ton of shit.

odelik,

I could agree on the /s being sardonic over sarcasm. With how irony has been slowly redefined over the years I can see how people could preceieve why that would be a sarcastic statement and accepted as such, cus language changes over to time and whatnot.

odelik,

That’s because the anti-Biden propaganda coming from Russian bots & alt-right astro-turfing is effective.

The astro-turfers are everywhere (including the fediverse) , and a ton of them present themselves as “concern trolls” since it’s a little harder to identify them that way.

odelik,

A spouse, housing, and 2.5 kids is quite a lot of motivation for people to work in the coal mines knowing they’ll be at high risk of lung cancer.

Now switch the damage to groups unseen instead of yourself. Yep… People just trying to survive.

It fucking sucks.

odelik,

Memories of pixel sniping just came flooding in.

The Toyota 3000GT is also really effective. My friend and I used to play this religiously back when it was new. I used the GTO, him the 3000GT. We’d spend hours doing custom tuning and testing before saving our cars to memory cards and hanging out to race.

odelik,

Hungarian kitchen? Wtf does this mean?

I grew up in a 2nd generation Hungarian American family and we cooked tons of cheap, and amazing foods. Goulash, paprikash, and pierogis are all “pesant/farmer” foods and are cheap as all hell, not to mention they boast amazing flavors. Additionally you can explore regional and family variantions on the recipes and never run out fresh experiences.

Paprika is amazing, use it, love it, live it.

As somebody that’s been working on computer hardware since the early-to-mid 90s, installing the drivers before connecting the printer was the norm. It was actually the norm for most peripherals. Just be glad you didn’t have to do manual irq assignment. Hell, that is probabaly the issue, is that the driver installer borked the irq assignment when the device already had a handshake agreement with the hardware.

I digress though, this shouldn’t have been the pattern for a modern printer in 2007, when PnP had been standard for several years at that point.

odelik,

How did Gabe Newell offend you?

The dude has been a bastion of how to run a company that delights its end-users and doing their best to run a company ethically. A staunch group of people that believe in right-to-repair as well as believing in modding and community growth of games.

Yes there’s issues on the publisher/developmer side of things, however Valve constantly works with studios to help mitigate these pain points and on-board to their platform.
