I’m OK with it existing, but it should be an addon. Not something that Mozilla pushes onto people who don’t want it.

Silicon Valley has a consent problem, and Mozilla is no different.

Our home is hardwood, except for the stairs. Of course they keep yaking down the stairs, why wouldn’t they?

I don’t watch Colbert, but I swear I saw that picture weeks ago as well. I did find this which describes the letter: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-07-17/trump-denies-sending-epstein-lewd-message-drawing (I can’t see the WSJ article due to a paywall)

I’m racking my brain to remember where I had seen it

qutebrowser is my default browser. I love it!

Honestly? Let me know how much you make. I’m gonna demmand me some commision.

Because it’s unfortunately still true. I have a video-card that I can’t upgrade because it nvidia drivers keep breaking my display. I’ve had to swap distros because some don’t work well with my audio-card, or my wifi-card. I was able to get them working eventually, but pretending that it wasn’t a pain in the ass would be a lie.

This attitude of “everything works fine, and if it doesn’t that means you are doing it wrong” is why people don’t like trying Linux. We have to be realistic about the experience. It’s massively better than it used to be, but pretending its flawless is just dishonest.

Åh, tack!

I’m learning Swedish, so please forgive me, but it seems like this is saying “sausage-rain sweeps through Sweden”? Is this a joke that I’m not fluent enough to get? or is this how it would really be translated?

I rewatched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Measure_of_a_Man_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation) a few years ago when ChatGPT started blowing up. It aged pretty well, IMO

Nice! I use Debian all-day every-day, and I think it’s a great starting distro, if a bit dated sometimes. I’d be a little cautious of Debian 13 as it just came out of testing, so it might have some lingering bugs. But if it works for you, then it works :)

Don’t let the haters get you down. As a long time linux-enthousiast, you are 100% correct. It absolutely still has troubles and doesn’t “just work”. it’s a lot better than it used to be, and it’s on a great upwards trajectory!

But we as a community are overly dismissive of real problems, and I think that does a lot of damage to our reputation.

Obama: “The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican.”

I’ve watched the Democrats move to the right since then

Not sure who they think they’re winning over with that.

Their rich donors

I’m not sure what causes people to blindly worship the party to the degree that they do…

It’s because politics has become the new “religion” for most people. I grew up in a cult, and the amount of crossover in thinking is astonishing: “Our dear leaders couldn’t have done anything wrong, it has to be everyone else that is wrong!”

There’s nothing stopping people from getting elected to the party and forcing change.

Except for, ya know, the Democratic leadership, demonstrably.

You can keep dancing around the fact that they cheated all you want. I find it very telling that you can’t even keep your original argument straight.

No, the court agreed that they are allowed to cheat.

“We don’t have to play fair. We can cheat if we want.”

“It didn’t say they cheated.”
