No. Mozilla is a nonprofit that includes Firefox, but is not Firefox.

Bias is one of the first things anyone learns in statistics, they didn't just poll Firefox users to figure out who likes browser choice. The article says who they polled.

Yeah I do that. There's no like, lag difference, the crap I get rid of is apps I don't use and have forgotten about.

I don't install any app until I need it, with this restart. That way any app that gets on my new phone is there for a reason.

Once in a while I do this to my current phone, too. Works great, I've done it like a dozen times.

I get caught off guard in morrowind any time I have to jump up stairs.

Oblivion is full of jank, too, obviously, but it's the things that are annoying all the time that get me.

and then we have senators that gave away power of attorney but still have power over the US.

Age limits are necessary. Term limits would at least patch the problem.

Well that's the point. It'd be bad to celebrate other human beings losing their homes.

That's why they're protesting outside the landlord celebration of people losing their homes again.

I feel like there's just not a significant market for that.

Plenty of things that want that small size don't need the better processing, and relatively few things that need that better processing are concerned about space.

I agree, it's a shame.

It's pretty common to still allow private ownership of historic places, but with additional rules associated with them.

The silly part is if this mattered, why wasn't this already part of that? I suppose it's a social inertia of a kind, and this will likely resolve by getting it recognized as a historic building.

See, while I don't like the invasiveness of it, that's also their business model. If they put it behind a subscription instead, it wouldn't be right to say "this information is important and needs to be available, stop charging for it," when charging for it is part of why they provide it. Private companies have a right to not do business with those that won't pay for their services, even if that payment is your data.

Europeans (and everyone, morally) have a right to privacy that conflicts with the method of payment. This website resolved that, if it can't get paid in it's chosen form, it won't provide its service. That's fine. I don't support this decision, but it's not

If this information is vital to the public, that's a separate issue entirely, and it needs to be available in some form that isn't sold. We can't rely on a private entity not employed by a government to do this of its own free will.

He specifically stated that before, and also in general just focused on making steam accessible. Some people have issues with steam and what it has for annoying DRM, but compared to what EA and Ubisoft did with their platforms, Steam doesn't shine itself down your throat, doesn't bloat everything, and has a massive library.

Well this is a data center oriented tech, anyway, and the current implementation doesn't need that.

Right that one is LOVE2FU

In the US, it depends on motor size and a few other things. Also varies by state. But that's often true.

Honestly the best thing I've done for my mornings isn't even a routine per se, it's just "No social media".

Texting is fine, texting does the social I forget. Getting distracted is fine, as long as it's something where I am and not a screen. Being bored is fine, when I'm bored I'm likely to try to think of things to do, which reminds me of the things I already have on my list to do.

I'm pretty bad at this rule, but the days I manage to stick to it are good days. I can have social media once I start the things I'm actually doing and have made some progress.

I just use a lot of phone alarms for stuff I absolutely cannot forget.

What's your reset routine? I don't have one, haven't heard of it, but dang that seems like a common sense idea I should have.

Hey man I've had quality knockoffs from Wish. Wish is great if it's not much and you wanna gamble a little.

But, so is Amazon, now. Better return policy, but you pay full price so the gamble is way worse.

Totally is BS. You could switch to lady/ladies. It's a bit old-fashioned, but isn't automatically being taken that way. Dunno if that helps you but if it doesn't help directly then at least you could then remember that more letters means more people, so ladies is plural.

You could also go full gender-neutral and just use person/people. Doesn't help if you need to specify they're women, but I bet most times you wouldn't actually need to do that.

I second skipping over the motherboard for a budget-but-upgradable build. Video card is the most important thing, so as long as the motherboard supports it, it's good enough, and the vast majority will.

That said, second hand graphics card still isn't a bad idea, since when you're finished with the build some years down the line, the video card will be the oldest component.

Instead, get an NVMe M.2 hard drive, and a PCIe expansion for it since that budget motherboard probably won't have native support. Expansion cards costs hardly anything relatively, and native support can be added to the list. A great hard drive makes ok RAM better than OK and cuts level loading times significantly. Honestly, adding a great hard drive to even some tiny budget dell desktop with built in graphics makes an ok budget gaming computer.

If there's money left over get a good sound card or whatever peripherals you'd prefer, maybe Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (budget mobo probably skips them) and RAM if the budget mobo is still a recent one. Despite the TV likely being good enough, too. I wouldn't focus on the motherboard until you're picking out the high-end CPU, which is expensive but also just a lower priority than the other stuff, so a good monitor is on that peripherals list, too.

That dell comment is from experience, I made one into a surprisingly decent Minecraft/Roblox machine for a relative. Only thing that stopped it was the HDD it used. A solid-state drive is sufficient, m.2 is just future-proofing.

I know. I want what he's done to be a bad term, like it would've been. But the bar is just so low. Mediocrity is good because the bad are actively bad (and fascist)

First off, good for you, deciding someone is trash for having an opinion, I'm sure your parents are very proud.

I didn't get that from the buzz afterwards surrounding that quote, I got it from watching the debate live. But you know what? Those rich assholes' lives SHOULD change. If their lives aren't different, even if they got a higher tax rate, then it's not enough, and without them having to tighten their belts, everyone lower than them will continue to starve.

He's Joe Biden, the dude who attacked social security as a senator. Saying that to the rich IS saying that to everyone, for him. And look, wow, during his term as president, nothing has fundamentally changed. Go figure.

If we pretend Trump wasn't a thing, I'd say Biden is really living up to his campaign promise of "nothing will fundamentally change." By that I mean, he hasn't personally done anything amazing or terrible, and he hasn't gotten in the way of others, either.

For instance, this has the fingerprints of Bernie Sanders all over it, who chairs several committees in congress, including the relevant one for this. Has Biden stopped Bernie Sanders? No, and while I wish that fact wasn't a win, it is.

Bernie isn't alone in being the only good thing about our current government, either, but Biden also hasn't removed some of the terrible things the trump administration set up. The Environmental Protection Agency has rolled back a bunch of things I'm very upset about. It is my personal belief that he's heavily influenced by certain groups (insurance) but is trying in other areas.

Biden isn't at all supporting policies that are just common sense if you live anywhere else, and while the UK isn't the best, I've discussed this with a British friend and I still include them in that. In short, you have more protections from your government that they need to try to remove first.

In my opinion if Biden had been elected after Obama or after a normal Republican he would've basically had a quiet presidency and been one of the ones you don't really mention in history because nothing happened. Standard calls for corruption, but not worse than any regular senators. In today's world, that's positive, with Republican candidates promising to abolish the department of education, but in another world where things aren't full of neonazis and fascists, I'd be saying it's awful, because I would have wanted a president that would change things for the better, and now I'm just beaten down enough to be ok with "Nothing will fundamentally change."

Sure, but getting arrested still isn't a crime.
