For those of you who survived a stroke reading this, here's a hopefully somewhat reassuring correction.

The Good

Nate Graham isn't a KDE QA manager.

The Bad

To my knowledge, there has never been a KDE QA manager.

The Ugly

Graham does remain a KDE developer, and if KDE had to name a QA manager today, Graham would probably be the current contributor who would best correspond. He does claim to be a QA Manager working on KDE: https://pointieststick.com/201...

I read the article about the planning fallacy, and I can't see any relation with the tendency described by the psychology professor. According to the link, the planning fallacy does not discourage planning.

"cooling rice [...] lowers the GI"?!?
Wait, really?! So the temperature at which rice is eaten does not change its contents, but impacts how much sugar is absorbed by the digestive system??

I don't have such luck yet, but have however had enough badluck with inkjets that I can already confirm HP LaserJet (M227 series) easily beats inkjets as a whole in my use case: https://www.philippecloutier.c... That being said, it's worth pointing out the article seems to be at least partially about organizational printers, not consumer ones. So, against any "intuition", I must specify that if Epson's decision has any merit, it could be that laser would now be the better choice for personal, while ink would become better for enterprise?!?

As a product, Firefox is still "OK" 'thanks' to its limited competition. I still use it at home. As a *project* though, its perspective will unfortunately remain bleak as long as it's controlled by Mozilla. The analysis done here was already made a couple years ago (see Update 4 from https://www.philippecloutier.c... ).

Bill has a point... but he's a few years late: https://www.philippecloutier.c... Nowadays, crhypeto does have value.

Corporations are currently not held accountable for the damages created by software which they publish, in general. If making them responsible is possible and still doesn't fix the problem, THEN we can start thinking about how individuals can be evaluated.

I wish I could buy an updated version of that 1984 Bible.

Flaws won't be fixed magically. Follow up on EU-FOSSA, or just help accelerate OpenSSF's work. It could use more resources: https://www.philippecloutier.c...

The short answer to that question would be the sponsors of OpenSSF: https://www.philippecloutier.c...

The idea that bitcoin would go to zero was debunked years ago: https://www.philippecloutier.c... The reality has only become clearer since. As long as Bitcoin remains a ransomcurrency of choice, it will have value to victims. Unless legal changes prevent anonymous transactions, the only way ransomcurrencies would disappear is if ransomware itself declines... which may take quite a while!

It's just a typo. When referring to "cryptocurrency", it's not "crypto", but "crhypeto".

Firefox surely isn't losing its users because other browsers are great. Chromium is pitiful, and Firefox is better in many respects. But Firefox doesn't have the means to compete with Blink with a tenth of its market share. And unfortunately, the organization/corporation which would need to acknowledge that is one way too arrogant to recognize it has lost the engine battle before it's loo late...
