Crystal Disk shows all of my drives as healthy

SSD.

I'm running an I9-9900K CPU, a GTX4070TI, and have 32gb of ram. I'm pretty certain it isn't a hardware issue...

My hardware is almost certainly not the problem; I built this PC in 2019 and everything is still working great. I have more than enough ram

For what it's worth FF seems to work just fine with the same extensions on my laptop, which runs Mint. So it's most likely something with my desktop, but I haven't got a clue what.

Wouldn't that be fixed by a fresh install though? I haven't uninstalled anything in the last few days...

Yes, I am. So I figure some of the problems are the same problems that I saw before.

But it's a completely clean install- I made sure all of the old files were completely wiped, even the profiles in /Appdata/

This makes me seriously consider whether my mouse could be the problem; I may buy a new one soon anyways. My mouse sometimes does some WEIRD stuff, it's rather old.

... I'll have to consider this. I don't have a second mouse to use, so I can't test it rn.

I'm using a utechsmart venus for what its worth.

Hmmmm that's a thought, though I'm not sure why my nice monospace font would break FF, it isn't using it. I may try this though, it's worth a shot...

Nope, just Windows Defender, I think other AVs are just as bad as malware.

I've done this; the results are basically random.

It doesn't seem to be any individual plugin. Sometimes disabling one plugin seems to fix the issues for a while, but they come back. Sometimes I'll disable multiple and nothing changes. I've tried different combinations each day this week and haven't seen anything to suggest that it helped.

Like I said, even if I run in safe mode I eventually see problems come up. It's very strange.

NGL I haven't considered this yet; it IS feasible though, I'd just have to make a bootable ISO drive and dig up my product key which is buried... somewhere.

I'll consider doing that if I can't find anything else to fix this but I'd rather not.

Nope, none at all. It's like FF doesn't recognize that it's crashing.

Black Castles

Joplin is another FOSS alternative to Obsidian. I've been using it for years; it let's you encrypt your notes in place so they can't be read without the client having the password to access them.

It also helps that they are essentially a monopoly.

I know that there are technically other game launchers, but that's always been how monopolies work. They allow a few token "competitors" that they completely control to exist.

Other than steam the only other gamelaunchers/storefronts for pc are:

• EA (Only has EA games in it, which are mostly also on steam)
• Ubisoft (Only has Ubisoft games, also mostly all on steam)
• Epic Games (the only true competitor to steam, and everyone hates them because they aren't steam)
• GOG (storefront only, I'm pretty sure they literally give you steam keys)

Only ONE of them is a true competitor to steam, Epic Games, and they don't have anywhere close to the usage steam does. The others are exclusive storefronts (that also have their games sold on steam) or storefronts that sell steam keys.

Steam is so deeply ingrained into the PC gaming space that I'm not sure most gamers understand how devastating it would be to get banned from steam or to have steam go under as a company. Their terms of service in relation to your "ownership" of games are a nightmare, if you get banned from steam your entire library disappears. Poof. Gone. Unrecoverable.

If there were actual alternatives to steam andiwere able to untie my library from them then I would do so in a heartbeat, but as it is my entire games library is trapped in steam and there isn't really anyway to retrieve it without having multiple terabytes of storage space ready to just hold all of those games at the same time.

The athlete in question is not their government, cannot prevent their government from doing the war, and is not responsible for any of the crimes of her government. Changing the rules for one athlete because she doesn't like her opponent is ridiculous. This rule has been on the book for decades. People from countries in much more bitter wars have shaken hands.

And also the other fencer literally did not rape her, this situation isn't even remotely comparable to what you just said. That's an utterly ridiculous comparison. You're making it out as though this one athlete is personally responsible for everything Russia has done in the last 2 years and should be treated as such.

Given that we have a lot of evidence that trex would swim to islands in the middle of north America to hunt (there was an inland sea here 66 million years ago), I think them having very good long distance vision actually makes a lot of sense. If they were hunting across flat crasslands and looking for food on islands across stretches of water then it would make a lot of sense that they need such good vision.

They don't need to see a mouse from kilometers away, they need to see if that big Grey blob on the Shor of the island 2km across a strait is a washed up icthyosaur, or a triceratops, or just a rock.

What would you expect out of "suck off capitalist daddies to hopefully get a job" the social media company?

Why should she be treated any differently than other athletes? She deliberately broke the rules, got a punishment, threw a fit overthe punishment, and now is getting a special place in the Olympics despite not qualifying for them? That seems kinda ridiculius IMO.

If it's any consolation trex was an animal accustomed to hunting truck sized triceratops, eating you would be like eating a single potato chip; very unsatisfying.
