Comment Meanwhile in the UK (Score 1) 305

There are extortionate energy prices which are several fold what they were just two years ago and an inept government who are seemingly powerless to do anything about it and willing to watch the populace go bankrupt paying inflated prices on energy, food, mortgages, insurance. Across the board the british are being extorted.

True but they could fix that by making the Firefox codebase more modular so they can exclude the bloat. Having firefox for your codebase sounds ideal for Thunderbird due to the lack of investment in maintenance of the project. And the thing is, even if it makes the software bulkier, whats the damage? In todays desktop compute environments of multi ghz, multi gb memory and disk space. Perhaps not ideal but not particularly a problem.

I was super excited about this, it's not often you can get excited about a piece of software. The installation takes a _long_ time. You're thinking it's a lightweight music player, but wow, that took a solid 5 minutes or more to install. When it launches the default interface, the actual music player portion of the interface is _tiny_. It's so small I would need a magnifying glass to see the buttons clearly. Basic QA testing would have avoided this surely? What a let down.

There was no food delivery. Amazon's groceries completely dried up during the pandemic, they had barely anything listed on their website. The 5 major supermarkets in the UK weren't offering home delivery as they were suddenly fully booked for the forthcoming weeks of available bookings. Good thing the mortality was low as the vast majority had to brave the gauntlet of supermarket shopping during a pandemic.

Ok so nothing comes out of the event horizon, sure. But while you're free falling and accellerating you don't feel the effect of gravity. And humans are so small maybe the gravitational force between our feet and heads isn't significant enough to cause any stretching? Maybe you wouldn't die until you collided with other matter or the acceleration became so great it causes your body to rupture?
