National Lampoon is a humor magazine that went out of business in the 1990s. In the early 1980s they did a three part series called "Cliff-Hanger Justice" it was about Wile E. Coyote suing Acme Corporation.

Maybe it's just me.

A few years back I was using RedHat, and I gave up on Firefox because videos would not play smoothly.

Now I am using FreeBSD, and I have recently gave up on Firefox because of a few issues.
1. Buttons often don't work. For example, the "Show More" button on Google does not work.
2. Pages often don't load on first attempt. Whether I click on a link, or enter a URL, the pages just don't load of the first try.

I just gave up. Sorry but, for me, Chrome and/or Chromium, seem to work better.

Not in my experience. And I have had fairly significant experience.
Automatic transmissions start slipping, or shifting hard, or the modules go out, or something. Often it is often not practical to replace.
Manual transmission hold up much better. And if there is a problem, it is much easier to fix.

Will it change the Linux compatibility layer? Will all the software run just the same?

The Wall Street Journal used to be a very good newspaper with a moderately conservative viewpoint and an extreme (some would say nutty) Radical Right editorial page. Now it just exists to provide a veneer of respectability to whatever scheme the hard Radical Right has cooked up to demonize a new Other (or resurrect the demonization of a previous Other) and hoover more money out of the pockets of the median Citizen.

Darl McBride used to refer to the "spiffy agent technology" that was going to find the allegedly infringing code, so that particular grift is nothing new.

I am old and my sight grows dim, but I am pretty sure this all happened before the first 0.01 version of Linux was released.

The cost of going to theaters is way up, while the quality of the movies is in the dumpster.
Then there is the whole unpleasant theater experience. People talking, using phones, filthy theaters, and so on.
How can people not be burned out on the superhero crap by now?
The movie will be streaming in two months anyway.

"If you must write a check, he said, try to deliver it in person or take it inside a post office to mail rather than relying on your own mailbox or public drop boxes. "

That was the neighborhood advice going around our area 1-2 years ago. I myself was skeptical that mail theft was going on as I had dealt with the Postal Police when managing an e-commerce site and I knew they are very good at finding things like this. Unfortunately it turned out (1) I was wrong: there was mail theft going on in our neighborhood but (2) everyone else was wrong too: the mail wasn't being stolen from blue boxes; it was being lifted from the bins behind the slot in our postal service center. The perps were eventually caught but it took far longer than I would have thought.

Destroying earth. Last I heard, it uses as much energy as the nation of Argentina.

I mostly use my 13 y/o freebsd box. It feels freer. I don't have some corporation spying on me, and telling me what to buy and when. It does what I need it to do.
I respect that other people have different needs, and values.

Welcome to capitalism.
