Oh boy! And after I land that plumb job in the mailroom, I'll work my way up through the company management training program, become a Jr. account executive with my own secretary and order the boys down in the lab to get something going on the company mainframe. Say, where's the pneumatic tube around here, I need to get this inter-office memo out stat!

Comment Firefox is the best browser! (Score 1) 240

I won't consider another browser until I can have the bookmarks toolbar next to the address field instead of under it, and have separators in the bookmark lists. Firefox compact mode (has to be enabled with "browser.compactmode.show" in about:config) with the bookmark folders between the address field and the extension icons is perfect, takes very little vertical screen space away from the web content.

That I can have browser-specific proxy settings instead of being forced to using system wide proxy is also a killer feature for me, because it allows me to transparently access my home NAS stuff from Firefox (and Firefox only) via an ssh tunnel on my work laptop (my work browser is Chrome).

Comment Re:As a Vinyl lover, I approve (Score 1) 40

How is streaming more detrimental to music discovery? I've listened to more and varied music and deep catalog stuff than ever before since I got a streaming plan vs. downloading (legal or otherwise) or purchasing music in stores. Is your impression that streaming is a single button like a radio and whatever is on is on so top 40 it is? Often times I'll follow a suggestion of something I haven't heard down to the artist, the album, their other albums, etc. Not sure how vinyl would help that unless I'm hanging in a record shop all the time.

Reddit has always been a lot about porn. My guess is they want in on the OnlyFans cash and let that type of creator just stay on Reddit and monetize directly there instead of going to OnlyFans. I guess there could be other types of subscription based subreddits but can't think of many others people would readily pay for.

Submission + - SPAM: I Built a Dogecoin-Powered Pinball Machine

chromatic writes: It started as a joke—what if I could use cryptocurrency to power a Lord of the Rings pinball machine? From there, things snowballed into figuring out how to hack the coin mechanism, set up a relay board, get addresses starting with the word "Balrog", and connect it all to the Dogecoin blockchain. The result? My pinball machine now takes Dogecoin instead of quarters.
