Weak.

100% on Safari with just Wipr.

I know. I don’t disagree. I’m just tired of everything being desperate to collect invasive amounts of information about me.

Because they invariably record way more data than they need to.

How bout just don’t install privacy-invading data collection services alongside a fucking device driver at all.

Some kind of angry potato

What is a workspace browser

We heard you like tabs so we put tabs in your tabs.

That’s all they are, really. Sets of tabs you can switch between. It’s not a bad concept if you’re using web based stuff exclusively, but I didn’t find it as useful as multiple desktops.

lemm.ee has been great

That was awesome. Totally worth sticking with.

Laserjet 4Ms were incredible printers. Rock solid, reliable, cheap to run. I used to work at a place that did personalised junk mail stuff, and they'd do it by laser printing in b+w over pre-printed colour, using a giant shelf covered in Laserjet 4M+s (with ethernet cards). They could churn out hundreds of thousands of custom pages per day with that batallion of printers, and ran it all with one teenager and a cupboard full of old printers used to donate parts.

They were constructed like consumer electronics aren't any more - a thick, sturdy bent steel chassis with plastic panels over the top. You could strip the whole thing down and rebuild it without very much specialist knowledge, and parts were cheap.

I took one of those printers when I left and continued to use it for many years. The only real issue with it was it was kinda slow and a bit noisy, otherwise it was perfectly usable. Eventually got rid of it when I moved in with my partner, but my dad still has it. I bet it still works.

Shit no! You know what you can’t change if/when they inevitably leak your data? Your fucking hand.

Impressive. If I recall correctly those things had like a 5mm metal shaft molded into the stick. I don’t think mine ever broke, despite some fairly heavy use. I recall the auto fire switch being pretty flimsy though.

Ah didn’t spot the start button. Yeah I remember the label saying A and B despite only having one button.

Cool.

I had one of these with my Amiga, favourite joystick ever.

What’s megadrive about them? Is the pinout different?

I had one. Those controllers were incredibly cheap and plasticky.

Do they taste of borscht? I bet they taste of borscht.

That is fucking awesome.

I love the BBC, I hate seeing what it's been forced to turn into by threats from a succession of Conservative governments. I still pay my TV license despite pirating all my TV and movie content for years.

No part. The part that's clearly putin ball gargling behaviour is your commentary on it.

What in the russian propaganda bot fuckery is this?!

Web standards are public, discussed openly, heavily scrutinised (including by security researchers) and available for any browser developer to implement.

You want to go back to the days of Realplayer, Acrobat Reader, Flash, etc, when individual companies made their own privately developed closed source apps?
