I put on a bit of weight a few years back and got up to 99kg. I joked with my partner that if I ate 1kg of cheese, I’d be 1% cheese.
So like, I’m not saying it’s right, but I understand where they’re coming from with the “more, more, more” mentality.
People who are good with tech VASTLY overestimate the general public’s tech literacy.
The entire thing is the author wanking himself silly over his knowledge of pop culture references from his childhood. Some of it reads like it was written by a 14 year old who isn’t all that into books.
The bit about the gaming suit that wanks the user off but also means you’re exercising so you get fit from wearing it was honestly one of the cringiest things I’ve ever read. If I thought the author was capable of the level of self reflection required, I’d have thought writing that part of the book was him acknowledging that the book is literally a work of literary masturbation.
It should have received the same response as The Room; a bad book only made into a cult classic by the people laughing at it.
Ya, it’d still be huge for Firefox, but what I’m really getting at is that even with this change, Chrome is going nowhere. They’re the big fish, they can afford to make these kinds of changes, because the people who care are a very small minority.
If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid.
I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.
Or are getting somewhere else
No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?
The uBlock Origin chrome extension has had 34 million users.
Chrome has 3.45 billion users.
Even if every uBlock user switched, it’s less than 1% of chrome users.
A computer: does anything.
Tech journalists: is this AI?
The VLC guy turned down what a quick search is telling me was “several tens of millions” to show ads. I can’t even imagine what getting people to drop ublock would be worth.
If you’re looking for something you can carry about and use to store data on, why not just a USB-C thumb drive or external SSD?
Edit; this is intended for photographers, but you can get external SSDs that create their own WiFi network so you can transfer files wiressly to and from them: https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/portable-drives/wd-my-passport-wireless-ssd?sku=WDBAMJ2500AGY-EESN
“I cast lightning bolt”
Flicks switch
It’s a link to the Irish Times, an Irish newspaper, so this is Ireland (not the UK).
OP could have added that bit when posting it, but I can’t really blame the newspaper for not including it in their headline. Their core audience knows that they’re speaking about Ireland unless it’s stated otherwise.
It’s not necessarily about a threat to instances or users. It’s more an issue with how Meta could potentially hijack the protocol the whole thing is built on, and do damage in the long run. There’s a write up here on how similar things have happened in the past;

What about all the bowling cattle you had to castrate for those balls?
