Once again showing the world you guess and bullshit with authority while not doing the bare minimum to educate yourself. Or do you think 4MB is 20% of 84MB?

If you're going to "help" someone, be right for a change. The screwed up symbol was the multiplication symbol. It's 20x less, or 5% of the original memory use. Stop spreading your ignorance.

I remember it was a Shakespeare play. "full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing"

If features that don't impact you and you can ignore while browsing impact you it's not a dedicated mode you need, it's ADHD medication.

We're sick of GNU Linux. We're making NEW Linux.

I've never met a highly skilled person who is perfect. Neither have you, you may just pretend you have.

No one said rust is magic. But but attempting to claim that whole world of memory safety issues being resolved is somehow countered by a single vulnerability is not just dumb, it's mindbogglingly stupid.

Rust isn't perfect. But claiming the old tools were is just spectacularly ignorant, especially given the recent history of CVEs related to those "well-working, _old_ tools".

Rather than your dumb fucking US vs THEM approach, how about you advocate for both sides to improve their code?

So if you restart Firefox (at which point the process and its resources are released by the OS) and it doesn't fix your memory problems, what makes you say Firefox has a leak?

And just what do you suppose a browser that already browses and has a plugin system to customise your browsing do to improve the browser?

To get out from under the SEC regulations then they are going to be buying a presidential election for anyone. Elon Musk dropped a quarter billion just on Trump's last election and he's going to spend the same amount of money getting the Republicans the midterms. Maybe some more.

Years ago I saw an interview with a multi-millionaire woman who was complaining that she couldn't get the time of day from congressman anymore because the billionaires could outspend her. That's the level we're at.

It's not just that you and I don't matter. If you've only got a few hundred million to spend that's not enough anymore to buy an election. That's how much money and power we have given the billionaires. Or should I save the trillionaires...

People who don't understand history think the idea of a currency free from any manipulation by an economic agenda is a good thing. The reality is very different. You only need to look to major economic depressions during times when some countries still had currencies backed by gold or silver. The inability to control the economy through monetary supply caused those specific countries to suffer from economic depression far longer than other countries.

The long timing and severity of the great depression for the USA, France, and Belgium is widely acknowledged to be caused by them switching back to a gold standard after WWI. In fact several countries floated their currency to enact economic controls (France) specifically because there was no other way for them to get out of depression.

But please, tell us who much you want to fuck yourself with your silly math cosplaying as a currency.

That is an incredibly dumb assessment precisely because you completely failed to address the problem of the cable. The number of people who have accidentally ripped their headsets from the head due to the cable is near enough to 100%. A very very significant portion of people have damaged their cable or their headset, often beyond repair. The defining failure mode of the Rift CV1 wasn't the headset, but the fact that no replacement cables are available. Heck one of my friends ruined his motherboard thanks to yanking the cable with his arm mid game and reefing the USB port straight off the PCB. I ruined one cable just sitting on my arse when it was run over by the wheels of my chair one too many times.

The people who strived to eliminate the cable are the opposite of idiots. They addressed a very real problem. I loved my original Oculus Rift. I loved my Rift S, but wholly fucking shit did a whole world of usability open when that god fucking awful experience of being tethered and tangled was eliminated. And I played most of my games sitting on my arse.

You are not most people, and clearly you've never met or conversed with most people. Get out, spend a bit of time on VR dedicated forums, or even just reddit. You'll find your opinion is in the strong minority. Side by side latency comparison is useless. The question is does it work for the use case or does it not. The existence of 144Hz+ gaming monitors doesn't mean that most people are perfectly fine gaming at 60Hz (in fact the majority of people are).

Latency has zero to do with why VR "couldn't break into the mainstream". At least not since Oculus resolved the motion sickness issue caused by latency back in 2013. By the way VR headsets have well and truly outsold the Nintendo 64. So if you don't consider that mainstream it's worth noting you also didn't consider a ground breaking and highly successful and popular gaming console mainstream either. I really question either your knowledge of the industry, or your disingenuous use of the term "mainstream".

I guess if I was into Kung-Fu that might be a thing?

Chinese movies are a lot more than Kung-Fu these days -

Still pretty hokey, but no hokier than Hollywood CGI robot monster movies from 15 years ago.

Because they know the next county over will hire them in a heartbeat to avoid paying the money to train another cop. We made it stupidly expensive to train police because we made it the corrupt mess like we do with everything...

So they will just pick a case that's open and tie it to that and move on.

If you want to make them accountable you have to change how you vote. The lack of police accountability is a political problem. You can't solve it with a few minor policy tweeks

Dole whip is not frozen non-dairy dessert. The term Frozen non-dairy dessert means a very specific and very unpleasant thing when you are out shopping. It's how you spot fake ice cream. Dole whip is pureed Frozen pineapple. Well yeah that's technically Frozen non-dairy dessert the term is not used in marketing Dole whip. It doesn't have to be because you don't make Dole whip with palm oil...

If you see those magic words on a bucket of something pretending to be ice cream turn and walk away. I miss Klondike bars too....

It's not that they really enjoy it it's that they have some health or ethical reason that makes them settle for what they don't actually want.

And that market isn't really all that big. If you look up the current state of the impossible burger and beyond meat both companies are struggling...

As for AI yeah there's a market for people who just want slop in endless supply. But it's usually people with nothing going on who just need limitless content to fill a day. Like a lot of old farts I've got a bad back and I'll admit that I consume a lot of garbage while doing a ton of physical therapy. Crap I never would have bothered with if I wasn't spending a couple hours a day doing PT and I needed something to listen to to get my mind off the misery of it.

But that's not really a big enough market for anything but niche producers. Right now they can survive because AI companies are burning through cash giving away free service but that's going to stop pretty soon.

And marketers have already looked into it. Those folks have absolutely no morals whatsoever and they don't care what they sell as long as it sells. And AI slop doesn't sell. The only thing that's useful for is scams and it's only useful for that right at the moment because the lower quality is a good thing Nigerian prince style and again it's being heavily subsidized by venture capital.
