I wasn't lying to you - I'm just conflict-averse!

Probably because it takes a fair bit of time to build a fab.

We're thirty-plus years into the World Wide Web, and Firefox is still the only browser that gives you reasonably good cookie management.

I would also like to see Mozilla putting more of its funds directly into improving their browser's core performance, and less on expensive side quests like buying Pocket and Anonym.

But let's not forget that Google has billions to counter Firefox's millions, and since the vast majority of JavaScript on the web is used to load advertisements... Google is incentivized as an ad company to provide the fastest JavaScript performance they can manage. They want their advertisements loaded as quickly as possible, of course, so they can sell more ads and pull in more of that sweet sweet advertising cash.

Hopefully not! Fortunately there doesn't appear to be a "Koenig" in the astronaut corps, at least right now. And Trump will probably insist on any lunar power plants being coal-fired anyway...

I gotta say - it was pretty cool to have a livestream from the capsule for so much of the return!

I think it's a combination of the two. In my limited interactions with Copilot, it has seemed almost Siri-level bad; but it's also true that Microsoft chose to shove it in everyone's faces in every place they possibly could.

When I've used both ChatGPT and Claude, even very recently I've still noticed a number of silly errors and oversights; but in general their responses have at least been helpful overall.

Well, finding the culprit should be easy - just look for someone who made a whole lot of disk orders from AliExpress over the course of a few weeks.

Correction: LinkedIn was originally just a job-and-resume posting site. And while the vast majority of its end users still treat it as such, the site's owners have been desperately trying to turn it into something else - more of a Facebook/Twitter hybrid - for almost a decade now.

I log into LinkedIn maybe once every couple of years. When I do, the first thing I always see is a huge number of pointless drivel posts that have no place on a "job-and-resume posting site", which in turn reminds me of why LinkedIn sucks so much.

Jellyfin FTW!

How the heck does plex have 120 employees?

As to why this was just posted now, it's because - of those 120 employees who went to the retreat, only one survived... and it took him almost 9 years to escape.

Well, speaking for myself - I may "rent" them but I also immediately decrypt them and store a local copy elsewhere.

I don't buy media I can't decrypt, one way or another.

I likely would still be using my Kindle 3 Keyboard, except my dog got hold of it at one point.

I still think that was the best form factor they've ever offered.

Obligatory.

At Walmart, extremely low quality everything is available year-round.

I remember a documentary from decades ago (1970s or 1980s) where they made the point that, at that time anyway, middle-class people had an equivalent standard of living in many ways to what turn-of-the-20th-century rich people accomplished only with a fleet of servants, simply because of technological advancement - we now had microwaves, toasters, instant TV dinners, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, automobiles, etc. etc.

This is mainly intended as a tangent, and is not intended to be relevant to the current discussion.
