  • Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I've been very happy with Debian (Sid).

  • The big issue is that by adding more and more features, a browser has become an operating system and so complex that you can't hope to make a new one from scratch.

    The last "new" browser engine (that wasn't built by a corporation) was KHTML which was stolen harvested first by Apple for Webkit and subsequently by Google for Blink. KHTML then rotted without support.

    The most recent attempt was to build Servo in Rust. Mozilla "ran out of money" (they depend on Google for their existence), and it's already rotting.

  • Gonna respectfully disagree back at you. You don't have to get a $100 crapsung, but most people whose work depends on a good phone still don't need a $2000 top of the line phone.

    An iPhone SE or Pixel ?a phone is more than sufficient for almost anyone anything more I'm probably going to call opulence.

  • Lol all my fridge has is some condiments.

  • The point I was trying to make is you can choose the mood (or the mindset) with which to face your current circumstances.

    Either what you face is a situation or a problem. By definition a problem has a solution and a situation does not. If it's a problem (there is a solution) you work on the solution. If it is a situation (there is no solution) you can't change it, so just accept it and move on.

    I find that I get joy everyday from the little things - tasty food, good company and nature. I don't let the big things dictate my mood.

  • Life is what you pretend it is. A study found that a year after a life changing event (losing a limb/winning a lottery) most people were not any more or less sad.

    You can consider that you are a forgotten one of billions of on a tiny speck of rock lost in the vast swathes of space-time and so nothing you do matters.

    Or you can consider that all that space-time and other stuff has about as much influence on your life as your life has on it and choose to ignore it and enjoy the life you have free of consequences.

    Or anything in between.

    The only constant is that life is short. What do you want to do with your limited time?

  • I didn't mean to suggest that. Simply that he was a business man doing business in a capitalist society. If you lose the talent of your main chef, what do you do? You ride his name and legacy for as long as you can.

    That's just the world we live in.

  • Late-stage capitalism is hardly all on his shoulders.

  • They talk amongst themselves about how shit the code is.

  • "Bleeding long term hires" are reading the tea leaves. Better to get a new job when you have one, finding a job when you need it is much harder.

  • Talking about tech startups:

    Depends on the startup. If they have a good team, they might get acqui-hired. If they have any patents or other IP, they might get acquired (for not much). Investors get the bulk of these types of exits, and the founders and employees get screwed.

    If the startup doesn't even have that, they may just wrap up the operation and go out of business.

  • Last frame needs to be dead Sean Bean. He needs to die in the memes too.

  • I never figured out why, but I couldn't get any version of suse to work properly on my computers. I've been with Debian (sid) for about a decade now, so not the most up to date criticism here.

  • My guess is dragons breath is produced by a combination of two glands that produce chemicals that are hypergolic. This is seen in nature in bombardier beetles (which use hydroquinone + hydrogen peroxide).

    The smell would certainly depend on the combination of chemicals, but a hot burnt and charred smells are probably common to all possibilities. The unburnt chemicals are likely to be irritants, being either strong oxidizers or reducers.

    Overall, even after the main blaze has cooled, I would expect the area (and downwind) to be unsafe for humans and respiratory issues for those exposed to the remnants.

    • warning: typical Lemmy user may not smell like lavender. Your results may vary.
  • No, no, see... They bought Indian oil from India. You know India, known for their oil reserves. Totally not Russian I tell you.

  • Do no buy GE. Super trash all of their appliances.

    As for recommendations - LG seems to be ok so far.
