I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?
Most notable word that hasn’t changed much for 1500 years: “chicken”
That was a lot of reading to learn that the two things were:
He had some kind of problem with the laptop Wi-Fi driver on his new install of Ubuntu, and — pressed for time, away from home — decided that the best way to fix it was to reinstall Windows.
He’s unwilling to give up games whose devs have chosen to make them impossible to play on Linux. It’s not clear which one he’s hooked on, but Apex Legends, to Fortnite and Valorant are mentioned.
The post-human future where descendants of OpenAI chatbots are the dominant life form will presumably be full of pyramid schemes, spam, ransomware, and phishing attacks.
Lucky for us that scientists have since discovered so many new sources of news to keep us busy.
What’s said at The Verge is simply “he says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox” as a way to bring in more revenue, but that it would be “off-mission.” That does not indicate that he, or Mozilla, are going to be likely to attempt such a thing. It does indicate that he seriously overestimates his own power and that he’s thinking like an ad company CEO, but it’s not an actual threat to shut down ad-blockers. Well, probably not — we don’t know exactly how he phrased whatever he said. I would hope that his colleagues have since explained to their CEO that “by the way, no you can’t actually do that, it’s not even possible.” It would not bring in more revenue. It would very quickly reduce revenue to zero.
Some of the things they are doing are self-destructive enough, without imagining such implausible ones.
The one that looks tempting which I might actually get around to playing some day if I buy it is Hades.
“It is a reasonable assumption that this would be in the interests of a foreign state”
No, it isn’t. Unless that state has the best interests of UK citizens at heart, I guess.
I wonder how much was for 2011 releases because apparently 86% of my time in Steam games this year was in Skyrim.
What’s the minimum recommend amount, like 500 megabits?
It’s a race to become too big to fail.
Every time I see another AI headline, the Gamers Nexus “AI” video starts playing in my head.
You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you’re a robot.
Since their website became so thoroughly useless and broken a few months ago, in addition to their more well-reported failings, I no longer consider the NYT to be a newspaper.
What do you know, it’s a mysterious “thing” that everybody is going to love. Will they redesign cities around it?
Vivaldi is not free software and is therefore not worthy of consideration as a replacement for Firefox.
Wow, that’s even higher papal density than Luxembourg!
Regular, non-expert internet users find it fun, or even amusing, to play gacha games. And yet the sentiment about a potential new gacha game panel built into Firefox has been overwhelmingly negative. While sophisticated gamer aesthetes find those creations gauche or even offensive, other cultures find them perfectly addictive.
Most of the people that see gacha games as a valuable use of their time on this earth belong to demographics that are dismissed by all you internet weirdos. It’s an incredibly mainstream experience now. Regular people have no problem collecting trading cards, making the numbers go up, and spending money on in-game purchases. If Firefox wants to keep up with the times it needs a built-in gacha game so that it can protect the privacy of all the billions of people who will see it and understand that Firefox is the web browser and gacha game platform made for them.
My guess is that it’s not the specific user agent, it’s twitter doing something stupid with the intention of trying to open that link in its app which since you don’t have it then falls back to the system default web browser.
There’s a “redirector” extension which can be configured to replace links to “x” dot com with “xcancel” dot com if you really need to go there more than once for some reason.
