There is a UEFI port for Raspberry Pi as well. I've been using that to run the generic Fedora ARM image on a Pi4.

Wish this was more common.

Firefox dropping the old addons API was a very necessary step toward bring the browser forward.

One of the reasons all other vendors have switched to embedding webkit/blink, is because those engines specifically supported being embedded. Not just web browsers, but anything with an embedded webview: steam, email clients, store apps, etc). Gecko wasn't even an option. Making strides to improve this (and multi-process, and a host of other improvements) meant killing the old addon api. They're getting close to that end goal (multiprocess is live, webrender is partially live, Focus and Fenix both use GeckoView).

I'm not going to pretend I was entirely unaffected by the api switch (tree style tabs isn't as nice with a duplicate tab bar), but at least it was for actual technical reasons with the goal of keeping Firefox and Gecko relevant in the future. Regarding adding new APIs, I get the impression that the resistance was to somewhat keep the goal of cross-browser webextensions. But with Google starting to limit extension utility for self-interested business purposes, I hope Firefox will finally just say "fuck it", fork the spec, and start adding APIs where it makes sense.

> Getting Firefox to the point where someone can just take the layout engine, JS engine and network code and build their own browser around them will be a huge amount of work and there isn't really any reason for Mozilla to do it.

Mozilla actually is doing this, it's called GeckoView. Firefox Focus is the most accessible implementation at the moment, but "Firefox Preview"/Fenix is apparently scheduled to replace Firefox on Android in 2020.

> Reading the comments on Slashdot these days is really sad. It's just trolls and people arguing with the trolls.

This really is a larger trend on the Internet as a whole, unfortunately. Slashdot is amongst the worst (to be fair, it has always had trolls). I've been visiting for almost two decades, but it is mostly out of habit at this point. I don't expect to find informative editorials *or* useful comments.

At the time I'm writing this, there are 100 comments on this thread. Of those, 4 are expanded, and 96 are abbreviated, and most of those appear to be arguing about systemd/binary logs/linux on the desktop/gnome/etc.

It will be marketed as "Ludicrous Speed USB"

Note that TFA is talking about DisplayLink, not DisplayPort. Entirely unrelated, aside from both involving Displays.

You're upset that firefox is moving to web extensions, so you abandoned it for a browser that also uses web extensions? And your cited example (umatrix) is also available as a ff57+ compatible web extension.

Citation? Click the "Clearview" link in TFA, click "BUY ClearviewHWY", add the 13-font bundle to your cart. Then select how many workstations you're licensing.

• 1 workstation is $795.
• 2-5 workstations are $1495
• ...
• 86-90 computers are $10270.00

You just need to catch the crash. Though it would be helpful if we could pass along some additional information about the crash..

Oh. Hmmm..

But how are you supposed to increase your "step" count?

There was some resistance to metrication in Canada.

CBC has a video about it:

According to the xbmc4xbox wiki, it's a fork of xbmc as mainline support for the xbox was removed.

Or another known versioning scheme: Ada XP, then Ada 7.

However, section 1 does set limits on the rights granted in other sections.

I've got a T510, which had a Mg roll cage and a 1920x1080 screen (which was fine three years ago, and unfortunately still about the best you can hope for).

Compare how they announced the changes to the T410 and T510 series:

Hell, they changed they key layout in 2009, affecting three keys and wrote a blog post to defend it, actually citing some usage data. Nowadays they redesign the keyboard and indicate it was based on user feedback from people who were not thinkpad users.

I'm not sure why they've decided to turn the Thinkpads into expensive Ideapads, but.. Wait, that's probably why.

I suppose I'll just have to stretch my T510 as far as it will go.
