If the price I saw when I picked an item is different to what I pay at the counter, I’ll never be back at that place again, even if it means I’m paying less.

Translate the Commandments to Arabic and display them to see the world burn.

Does anyone know if it’s legal to do so in the EU? I hope the EU has (or will come up with) laws to prevent these types of enshitification.

It depends I think. I found Chrome to be a tiny bit faster but then ads bogged the page down so most of the time, Firefox is faster for me.

In some very rare cases when I need to disable ads blocking, Chrome is indeed faster but I’d rather abandon websites rather than disable ads blocking.

So if you love ads, Chrome is better. If you hate ads like I do, Firefox is miles ahead.

I use Firefox everywhere which means I have ads blocking everywhere, including and especially on Android. All my tabs are synced and are easily transferred between devices.

My experience with maintaining open source projects (though mine are very much smaller) is that it’s quite similar to a business: you just have to deal with stakeholders and people who think they are stakeholders.

I had all the same experience at work:

• Some unknown person from an unrelated team contacted me because something that my team does not manage broke. I tried to help a few times and I suddenly became their personal IT support team.

• Another time someone not even working at my company demanded that I drop everything and fix their problem, because my name appeared in 3rd parties libraries.

It’s sad that open source authors don’t always receive the recognition that they deserve.

Thank you for your compliment. I love it. The floppy disk is 1.44 non-freedom MB, not 0.015264 miles of CD drives.

I would suggest:

• 1KB = storage capacity of 1 kg of 1.44 floppy disks.
• 1MB = storage capacity of 0.0106 mile of CD drives.
• 1GB = storage capacity of 1 good computer in the 2000s.
• 1TB = storage capacity of 1 truck of GB (see above)

PS: just to be clear, I meant CD drives, not CD discs.

You make me want to buy a Steam Deck, even though I don’t play games much.

Jerusalem: Jewish invader movement makes plan to steal large slice of Armenian quarter

See the white, metal looking thing in the image? That’s another tracking device from the government to track people wherever they do. They even put it in all 4 of your wheels so they will know when to issue you a traffic ticket. Remove them. /s

I regret looking up the clip: https://youtu.be/jNFOVkB6JjQ

Sorry to say to my UK friends, it looks like these people have no manners when it comes to debating. Asking a question and then proceeded to shout over them. I’m surprised they still have viewers.

Epic wanted exclusives by pulling games from other platforms. I will never spend a single cent on Epic Games. I’m happy to spend it on Steam, especially games that I have pirated before (Commandos series for example) or indie games (Banished anyone?).

For bigger games such as Civilians, I’ll purchase it on Steam and then pirate so I don’t need to run Steam. I am a big fan of patches to remove the intro screen.

I pirate because it’s more convenient. No launcher, no update, no DRM, no need to be always online. I still purchase games but still play the pirated version.

What if 5G radio wave is there to push vaccines hidden in sunscreen into our body? /s

The original video showed that just changing the Agent string fixed the “problem”, so it has nothing to do with ad blocking.

Early Christmas present for FireFox, yay!

Snap is what finally forced me to explore the vast selection of distros. Mint Linux is working well for me. I do miss Plasma Desktop though.
