Mozilla pushes DuckDuckGo. That is a feature, not a failure.

Lol no?

I said "Internal SSD" not NVME SSD. So some description fail on my part, I meant SATA SSD.

Not really. The forker wanted to remove the word filter. Likely so that they could be a racist POS in the open without any filtering. The fact that the fork immediately died is actually pretty funny.

Done

Wow, your entire reply is one giant straw man. Jesus, you created an entire cinematic universe for your straw man as well where your straw man was creating other lesser straw men.

I can tell from this comment reply that you have no interest in arguing in good faith.

One thing that needs to be addressed that you said though, I support climate change activism. I do not support whatever the fuck this is supposed to be. Random people on the street can't do a single fucking thing about climate change. Largely it is corporations that have some control.

The only way that you can make any sort of difference is at the ballot box. Instead of doing this garbage and making everybody hate you, you could be out speaking to people, explaining the dangers to them, winning them over to your ideals with logic and reason. Throwing a tantrum like blocking a road does nothing but let everyone see that you are a child and incapable of using your words. It's not even The correct target audience.

I said before the random people on the street can't do a single fucking thing about climate change, which is true. However they can do something about changing the hearts and minds of those around them. Do it enough and we can vote these fuckers out and put some real climate change legislation out.

Covid denialism, etc etc. 99.9% chance that these women were hardcore in the Q bubble.

If a site breaks because you're using ff, the web developer behind it is clearly a fucking idiot. If it works in chrome it's going to work in FF, unless you've done something extraordinarily stupid.

And that's the rub. You have to very specifically choose your hardware for Linux. Or at least you had to back then. It's not quite so bad now, but back then it was a real showstopper. Especially broadcom. That caused me no end of issues back in the day.

Random old stuff is available via Windows update. You'd be hard pressed to not have it just pop up and work.

Maybe for some old serial/parallel stuff you would have issues, but for anything USB? It's gonna be on Windows update. The days of searching the internet for random drivers mostly died with Windows XP and pretty much completely died with Windows 7.

And back at that time if you installed any flavor of Linux you were lucky if the OS install didn't fuck itself over, also God help you find drivers, assuming that they even existed. At least xp would function.

As of windows 10, windows will always function on pretty much any hardware out of the box. Some obscure Chinese WiFi dongles might have some issues, but main board drivers are always right there.

Linux users have this weird echo chamber where they seem to think that Linux just works. It can but it's a 50/50 chance that it won't and you'll spend hours troubleshooting. Also os updates on Linux have a high probability of borking the entire os.

Windows, for all of it's many many faults, generally does "just work". It might not be perfect, but it will function.

You do know that blocking a road like this without a permit is a crime, right?

It's also clear you didn't watch the whole video, because at the end of it you can see cars backed up for many many miles.

They started blocking the way around too. Additionally, why should people risk damaging their own vehicles just because of the selfishness of a few assholes?

• Buy 2tb NVME for 60 bucks
• Buy NVME usb 3 gen 2 enclosure for 20 bucks
• Get drive speeds comparable to an internal ssd
• Profit???

So I understand some of the comments here now, it's because you guys haven't seen the whole video: https://youtu.be/e8fDM60MS84?si=18kK8J--5nWTqeFG

No. Do not use chromium based browsers, period.

Firefox + unlock origin is all you need

A federal judge has ruled former New York mayor and Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani liable for defaming two Georgia election workers whom he falsely accused of tampering with the 2020 election results.

Sign up for Fact Checker, our weekly review of what's true, false or in-between in politics. Judge Beryl A. Howell entered a default judgment against him “as a straight-up sanction” for his failure to provide necessary documentation to the plaintiffs.

Giuliani will still go to trial in D.C. federal court on the amount of monetary damages he owes to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss. But Howell has already ordered Giuliani to pay roughly $132,000 in sanctions between his personal and business assets for his failures to hand over relevant information. And she said those failures, combined with Giuliani’s own admissions, compelled her to rule without a trial that he defamed both women, intentionally inflicted emotional distress on them as part of a civil conspiracy and owes punitive damages.

Advertisement Last month, as part of the wrangling over the records he had failed to share, Giuliani agreed not to contest that he made false and defamatory claims about the two poll workers. But in the same filings, he said he was not giving up the right to argue that his comments were constitutionally protected speech that did not cause damage, along with other defenses. On Wednesday, Howell said that admission had “more holes than Swiss cheese,” and that Giuliani was trying “to bypass the discovery process and a merits trial — at which his defenses may be fully scrutinized and tested in our judicial system’s time-honored adversarial process — and to delay such a fair reckoning by taking his chances on appeal.”

But, she said, Giuliani cannot “have his proverbial cake and eat it too.”

Giuliani repeatedly claimed in the weeks after the 2020 election that misleading security footage from Georgia showed Freeman and Moss bringing in “suitcases” full of fake votes for Joe Biden. Those claims were quickly debunked by election officials in Georgia, who explained that the so-called suitcases were regular ballot boxes and that nothing untoward had occurred. But Giuliani and others continued to accuse the two of malfeasance; they received death threats and were forced into hiding.

Advertisement Because Giuliani failed to preserve emails, text messages and social media account information from the time period when he made those accusations, Howell said Freeman and Moss are “severely hampered” in their ability to prove his statements were intentionally false and part of a broader conspiracy rather than merely negligent.

Share this article Share The plaintiffs became aware of large gaps in what Giuliani provided because of records received from others involved, according to the court record. Giuliani claimed that he lost access to much of his electronic information because it was seized by the FBI in an unrelated investigation in April 2021. But Howell found that Giuliani failed to make meaningful efforts to explain what exactly was missing or to retrieve it, instead giving “vague” and “shifting descriptions” of the problem.

“Given Giuliani’s much-vaunted experience as an attorney, he plainly should have known better,” Howell wrote, and so concluded his failure to produce the information was “deliberate.” She suggested he was trying to avoid disclosing information that could hurt him in other civil and criminal cases. Earlier this month, Giuliani was charged in Georgia with involvement in a scheme to subvert the election results. The federal indictment brought against former president Donald Trump in D.C. lists Giuliani as an unnamed co-conspirator and includes the false Georgia claims as part of an alleged criminal conspiracy to keep Biden out of office.

Advertisement “Just as taking shortcuts to win an election carries risks — even potential criminal liability — bypassing the discovery process carries serious sanctions,” Howell wrote.

While his liability is no longer in dispute, Giuliani still must hand over financial information for the determination of damages, including metrics for a podcast on which he impugned the Georgia workers. He and his businesses must also pay the plaintiffs back for the attorney fees they spent trying to get him to comply with Howell’s rulings. If he continues to withhold his financial records, Howell said, she will instruct the jury deciding damages to “infer that he is intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about his financial assets for the purpose of artificially deflating his net worth.”

Giuliani political adviser Ted Goodman said in a statement that the ruling was “a prime example of the weaponization of our justice system, where the process is the punishment,” and “should be reversed.”

In a separate case, Freeman and Moss settled last year with the right-wing television network One America News, which also spread misinformation about them.

Chromium should be enough of a reason to get rid of it.

I agree, markdown for posts is great. I looked for md plugins but the seem to not be great. Honestly, I developed using wp for like a decade, but I kinda lost interest with the Gutenberg editor bullshit.

I don't get it... why not just restore tinymce?

Description

Classic Editor is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous (“classic”) WordPress editor and the “Edit Post” screen. It makes it possible to use plugins that extend that screen, add old-style meta boxes, or otherwise depend on the previous editor.

Classic Editor is an official WordPress plugin, and will be fully supported and maintained until 2024, or as long as is necessary.

At a glance, this plugin adds the following:

        * Administrators can select the default editor for all users.
    * Administrators can allow users to change their default editor.
    * When allowed, the users can choose which editor to use for each post.
    * Each post opens in the last editor used regardless of who edited it last. This is important for maintaining a consistent experience when editing content.


  

In addition, the Classic Editor plugin includes several filters that let other plugins control the settings, and the editor choice per post and per post type.

By default, this plugin hides all functionality available in the new block editor (“Gutenberg”).
