Well, perhaps we need to look at not really open hardware and software. We also need to be careful of the influencers.

We need an AI checkbox for investors!

Why not just top it off with Kaperski anti-virus. LOL!

Every new nuclear reactor type has had its own accidents, which leads me to believe that there is no such thing as a nuclear accident. I have studied not only Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukishima accidents, but also the SL-1(Agonne Low-Power Reactor), SRE, NRX, EBR-I, Godiva, and Demon-Core, accidents, as well as Hisashi Ouchi's terrible fate. They show you how small, compact, and sexy a fuel core is, but they down show you all the nitric acid and tailings. They don't show you this: https://youtu.be/MJ6667Noex0?s... , and they don't show you the dismantling of the Molton Salt Reactor--because it still has not been cleaned up.

Scrapbook ran fine on older XUL Firefox, and continues to run under Basilisk. When I loaded my old data, which is some 4,000 web pages in several branches of science, I realized when I had lost when Firefox was XUL-nerfed. I tried to post something here on Slashdot about Scrapbook, but like most of my submissions, it was ignored. Scrapbook was so useful that Mozilla came out with its attempted equivalent competitor Pocket as a service, but the old Scrapbook users perhaps did not want the privilege of paying for a lesser program as Scrapbook. There have been attempts to make Scrapbook in current Firefox, but it's a uphill battle. I am wondering if Mozilla really killed XUL for the aspirations of Web-aps, to kill the free extension market.

Scrapbook was one of the best Internet research tools, which let the user save entire web pages, with depth, and highlight and add notes.. While there have been attempts to recreate it--a programmer is no longer allowed to make such a powerful extensions, such as XUL provided--and now, the AI proveyers have peddled their influence on Firefox, which will launch Firefox further into creepy spyware territory.

What a great way to dived a brainshare.

Well, it's another Linux distro. I would be concerned about the default browser. Still, I'm sticking to Mint for now, though we Linux users are fickle lot.

I told Okabe that I hadn't visited November 20th, 2025. Perhaps I was wrong.

It's small, flaccid when "hard" even when Windows reads our love letters.

I mean, HAL would kill you, but at least your personal stuff was yours--not like Microsoft Recall.

After all of these years, finally, someone who knows what brand they really used in Guyana. Excellent!

Use AI, for what? I know how to write and use a computer, think, walk and chew bubble-gum.

Windows has slid so far downhill. You have no privacy, it's not your computer: It takes longer to even attempt to set Windows for any kind of privacy--than it takes to install Linux Mint. Even then, who could trust Microsoft at their word? Why is there any data in Edge's cache--on a computer that it never gets used on? The Group-By "Feature" is only for assisting the AI, and has no use for a human. Privacy is so lacking--that I don't even want to plug a drive into a Windows box that has data on it. "My Documents" is a lie. You can beg the OS for privacy all you want, but WINDOWS IS NOW THE INFECTION!

Then you have a computer that will want to update at the worst times. I could always tell when the computer is downloading updates. Even when it's not updating, there is marked, questionable processor usage. As, installed Windows is capable of waking from sleep to do chores--even while your computer is in a hot backpack. Meanwhile, Bluetooth rarely reconnects, file-transfer was nerfed for W10. Performance-wise, Windows was more on-par with Linux before--so where are all those processor cycles going? No, I don't trust Microsoft with my GPU, at all. Excess Windows System-Logs still take a long time to sort on a 12-core 4+-GHz rig? What!? No, you still cannot stop a misbehaving application? By default Windows will still want to use SSD-eating virtual memory on a system with 64GB of RAM. The System GUI has been stripped bare of icons. Microsoft still does not understand that Windows is installed on various hardware, and that hardware needs to be examined and maintained. Microsoft tries so hard to keep you from using the quick-launch bar, the only thing they got right. The Windows 11 Start menu, is but a pale shadow of the Windows 10 version. No, Microsoft, I can tell that the computer wasn't fully booted (delayed start) with your bloated OS since XP. No, Microsoft, computers need to be rebooted, completely in Windows 11.

Unless you need an exception to a web page's stateless protocol, no cookie is needed. Tracking you is likely not what the W3C had had in mind, when they created XHTML, XML, HTML. all from SGML. You have been falsely been taught to believe that tracking is necessary to load the simplest of webpages. Basically, unless it's something that you need to log in for, no cookie is likely needed. BTW, tracking is not advertising; to refuse to be tracked--does not mean that you are blocking ads.
