Nice. I’m planning to install it after work.
The tab previews are pretty nice. Good QOL, assuming it doesn’t kick my GPU into overdrive to make it.
Skip the sharp blow and use a microfiber. You can get them in packs of like a million from Costco and they work way better than anything else.
Yep, this is what I go with. Yeah sure, my insurance doesn’t cover them and they’re a little less durable than the ones I get from the optometrist, but I can buy four pairs and still have not equaled my deductible.
If “a state of emergency” doesn’t protect workers who are fleeing said emergency in the same way that jury duty and voting rights do, then they are broken and need to be fixed.
My midwestern US schooling taught me almost nothing about African or diaspora history beyond the slave trade. When I learned that there was a whole big huge continent whose history I didn’t know, I was fascinated. Simultaneously, I was awakening to the systemic injustice that Afro-folks experience in the United States, and wanted to learn as much as I could about their background and context.
I mean, in fairness, at least the Mig-29 and F-117 are contemporaries, and deployed by enemies. I’ve seen playsets that include (iirc) an F-16 and a B-17 dogfighting against one another.
Maybe so, but I would say they’re more alternatives to Firefox than any of the Chromium forks are to Chrome (except Arc, I guess) by nature of the fact that you don’t have to strip telemetry out of the Gecko codebase in order to ship a private fork.
It’s also worth noting that almost all of this stuff was open-source. If you wanted to, you could still use most of it, continue development on it (and in some cases, such as FirefoxOS, its development is continuing without Mozilla’s involvement). Not so with stuff killed by Google.
You currently only have three choices in web rendering engine, unless you want to go REALLY esoteric:
Blink
WebKit
Gecko
Blink is Chromium, meaning Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, Vivaldi, ug-c, Konqueror, etc. It is built, maintained, and controlled by Google, and currently has an approximately 81% market share on the internet.
WebKit is Safari, and is only really usable on Apple products (and is the only engine available on Apple’s mobile products outside the EU). It enjoys about a 9% market share as a result of its wide install base.
Gecko is developed by the Mozilla Foundation for Firefox, yes. But if you want any sort of web independence, you have to have a browsing engine that is not controlled by a major corporation. Otherwise, you’re just going to have a duopoly that can make whatever web decisions they want to.
Can’t possibly be the bridge as a whole. When I said “certain sections,” I meant, like, every third square centimeter or something. If the entire bridge inertial dampeners were completely offline, our heroic crew wouldn’t be jumping madly across the bridge, they’d be a thin paste of organic material on the wall.
Actually, having individual sections fluctuating could explain some of the wilder dives Kirk & Co did during battle sequences, now that I think about it.
Really, Don? This is your big play for the news coverage this weekend? Weak.
Yeah, but they’re maneuvering at appreciable fractions of the speed of light when they travel at impulse, so there’s no way anyone survives if they’re all offline. They have to mean that the primaries are offline, or they’re offline in certain sections, or something like that.
When you’re talking about a ship’s capacity that’s approaching five digits, that stuff would have to be moved around a lot.
Foodstuffs from the Conestoga is behind the new sensor package from Starbase 80, but we can’t install the sensor package until we get to a drydock, so we have to move it over there and get the ingredients for Thanksgiving out–but we’re also supposed to deliver half of the potatoes from the shipment to the Boyle when we pass them at Deep Space Two, so we have to crate them into a separate container, and the stasis container we need for them currently has Vulcan plomeek bulbs in it for a diplomatic function on Tendar IV, so we can’t move them over until Wednesday. Meanwhile, in Cargo Bay 2, we literally have a whole entire shuttle that for some reason the commander of the shuttle deck decided just had to be put here, but that means that the restraint units are inaccessible, so we’ve had to jury-rig some force fields to hold everything together. Plus, because of some sort of requisitions mistake, we got sent a double pallet of PADD-xe’s, when what we really needed were PADD-xt’s, so that was taking up every spare parts locker and case in Cargo Bay 3 until we could offload them to some environmental observatory or something, but then Lt. Cmdr. La Forge had this weird idea yesterday to pull 250 of them and try to network them together for…something?..and they’re still strewn all across the floor since he left to deal with a plasma injector leak yesterday afternoon, so I guess we should put them away? I mean, I don’t even know if they’re still functional–and THIS is when the Vendorian terrorist leader decides to pull up and have a tentacle-measuring contest? Does he have any idea how busy we are right now? I don’t have time to deal with artificial gravity fluctuations or inertial dampener overloads today, I’ve got potatoes that are about to rot!
Well, that was just an example. We can ban the cars in more places than just school zones, I’m happy with that.
And when the trauma you’re expected to deal with is “run a glowy light over any plasma burns and bring anything else to Dr. Crusher,” I think a physical therapist could probably get qualified in a few hours at most.
One thing at a time.
Help clear sickbay in preparation for casualties, prepare plasma burn kits and dermal regenerators, monitor comms for damage reports and put together response teams.
Firefox is not eliminating MV2 extensions. You can stick with Firefox.
