I can’t tell you how many times I emailed someone last week asking that they don’t send me any sensitive information over insecure channels.

Firefox… I mean, regular old from the app store Firefox… Not even Waterfox or anything, just Firefox.

How did you end up at Brave without knowing Firefox could do all that?

The Latitudes are balls in the worst way. Including the new “Pro” models. I’ve had i7 and i9 Latitudes that are slower than my i5 XPS 13, and yeah that thing sucks too but at least it sucks predictably.

I bet you a dollar that the ratio of votes on your post will be some number by January 11th.

I bet you a dollar that President Trump will not live to see 2037.

We’re just two people making bets here. Anyone want to sidebar on this action?

Just keep old computers is all. Eventually your spec will be considered ‘retro computing’ and you can still enjoy the thousands of games that are playable on real hardware.

You posting on the Internet is also useless digital garbage, so put your money where your mouth is and go do something productive.

Hilarious, no notes.

I haven’t played Rust since before they added stores to the game but Garry was a douche since before Gmod paid version came out - though I’ll look into the Linux and lying.

Why do we hate the mingebag now? Mind you, I haven’t bought Gmod since 2006 or '07, so he’s had my money for a while…

Right but if you’re trying to score political points and ensure you can bend a open source project to your will, you do.

Not saying they’re right for doing it but it’s not so outside the realm of possibility that we should say “who does that?”

I’m sure you’re aware that businesses, especially with donations of that size, might engage in emailing contacts prior to donating…

Here’s $100 but you have to spend it on materials for research, not executive salaries. It’s called a restricted donation. You may hear that colleges and universities have million dollar endowments but still send out fundraising emails. This is because you might get a $200k donation from an alumni that is only to be used on tuition for student athletes and, yeah, you take that money because that means $200k that you don’t need to spend there… But that you can only spend there.

So you’ve got to keep that money around unless you use it for those things.

All grants come with strings. You can go to grants.gov and click on hundreds of them.

Yeah, my thought exactly, I doubt Wawa has a fancy term for it but it’s better than all your staff coming in or calling on Thursday to see if next week’s schedule is posted.

I had someone say “Well, yours doesn’t do ads” and, in the year of 5 manufacturers pumping out 10 different SKUs a year, we had the same model phone.

I said “Yours doesn’t have to, if you set it up that way.”

The answer? “Well, c’mon, play the video.”

Like, yeah, let’s just brush past the… What? Five or six tap solution? And before anyone asks, not a romantic opening. Generally people don’t make passes at bridge trolls who evangelize for open source software.

Just use Firefox Mobile to watch YouTube.

Ad blocking through uBO and can enable playing with locked screen.

It’s like, I have a 13" laptop, a 15" inch one, and two monitors at my desk with a dock… But so the my director… Actually, he doesn’t have the 13" one! Am I actually the director?

It’s weird but they are all different. I’ve never had an issue where I see an Xbox X and hit the PS X. Normally if a game wants X(PS Flavour) the X itself is blue, potentially with a black circle around it. If a game shows you an X(Xbox Flavour) it shows a blue circle with a different blue X inside. Nintendo generally just shows a top button glyph or if they do show the X it’s usually monochrome, except for Americana flavoured SNES which was just top purple and since GC had the vertical kidney bean X… Well, Nintendo only recently became a problem I suppose.

So, basically, the in-game glyphs do differentiate themselves.

Yep, edited for clarity. I’m not trying to play all of them every day but when I don’t feel like reading or thinking, I can pick up Boltgun or NFS for 30 minutes and have fun but when I’ve got the time and patience, I can hop into the bigger games.

Paper Mario and the Origami King - Partner picked up the game around launch, played up to the final boss, put it down for a few months, came back and restarted their save. Infuriating but whatever. Then, they dropped it after playing for a few days.

Finally, in need of a ‘simple’ RPG to balance out the rest of my in progress games right now (Yakuza 4, W40K Boltgun, NFS Unbound) I picked it up and am about 30% through, so I’ll probably play a bit more of that.

Stellantis is a Dutch group. If we head to Michigan and get the CEO, they’ll just appoint a new one… Unless you’re suggesting the Americans invade the Netherlands…
