It's discussed in the firefox sub (link)

EDIT: There are some claims that this is related to anti-adblock.

Ehh I should do one of those two but it's just sitting in storage as a spare.

I recently upgraded my 12th gen Intel with a new gorgeous matte screen and the process didn't take more than 5 minutes, despite one of my arms being in a cast!

It uses a newer HTML feature called popover which Firefox doesn't support by default yet.

Both i3 and sway are very lightweight so you do get good performance, but it's the easy tiling / no-nonsense looks that appeal to me.

I'd hold off then as I would expect you to need to iron out wrinkles with regards to collaborating with others in the MS universe.

My first impression was gollum from the Lord of the Rings movie, although gollum's head is rounder.

If the cars are running all day long it might make sense to need another human to pick up later shifts. Still though, that ratio is way too high to be economical.

Canada too

Keep in mind these averages are across all age groups - I'm assuming that (like me) you're relatively young and still early in your working career where pay is generally lower.

I believe that's only true if the countries have a reciprocal tax treaty. In practice I think the US has one with most countries, but I'm sure there are exceptions where both the US and that country would expect you to pay their full taxes.

Because it's the law and is their actual legal responsibility? Take it up with lawmakers if you think that's ridiculous, but generally most western societies have (rightly imho) decided that disabled people should have the ability to get around and that businesses need to accommodate that. Since the airlines won't let passengers take their own wheelchairs on board, then they need to assist those passengers in getting to their wheelchairs.

Thanks and I do indeed use Cloudflare DNS. Glad to know that it's not some bad IP reputation thing.

Is anyone else having trouble reading the link (and can someone send me the original URL?). I just get stuck in an infinite captcha loop where I verify I'm not a robot, the page refreshes, and then it asks me again.

I actually like 11 compared to 10 (so far as I like Windows in the first place - I only use it on my work-provided computer, Linux everywhere else). People rightly complain about the advertising and tracking for why they won't upgrade but doesn't 10 have that too?

It probably also made the moose feel safer.

Maybe in some narrow cases but I'd take issue with your use of 'mostly'. Here's an article about a study that looked at the environmental damage of different diets and a vegan diet is significantly, significantly better for the environment - and that's not even considering animal welfare.

It's about reducing harm. Are all crops grown the way I would like? No. But farm animals also have to be fed these same crops, so when you eat meat you not only contributed to the animal cruelty and substantial amounts of the crop-harms you identified, while a vegetarian or vegan only contributed to a lesser amount of the crop-harms.

It's not practical to live without causing any harm somewhere, but that's not an excuse to pretend that all lifestyles are equally harmful.

I think you should take baby-steps and focus first on just getting something running for you to use. Maybe first experiment with configuring an application you'd like in a virtual machine before you spend money on hardware too.

How is NVIDIA for Wayland? I heard that previously it was an absolute nightmare, but I have Sway setup on my laptop and I'm wondering if it's time to switch my desktop too.
