  • But good luck funding a team to keep up with commercial companies’ pace.

    You answered the question yourself. The worry is that without a hard fork that is fully maintained we'll continue to have a dependence on Mozilla. It doesn't need to be a new engine, but it does need to be an independent one.

  • 95% coverage for life and even if you get it, it would likely be very mild. Pre-1989 is 93% coverage IIRC.

  • This is Texas, not Tennessee/Kentucky/Arkansas.

  • This reads as if Ken never watched an interview with/of Pete Buttigieg.

  • Librewolf is a pretty easy choice.

  • “Together, Tom and the incredible employees at the Forest Service will work to execute the agenda of President Donald J. Trump to make America’s forests healthy and productive again.”

    That choice of word does not inspire confidence.

  • And the Sheriff was in Hogg's pocket. Just a lackey.

  • I think it's worth pointing out that "net worth" ≠ "liquid holdings" (money available to spend on a good visa). I remember the first time I spoke to a financial advisor and he told me that they (UBS) had calculated our net worth at a little over $850k even though our savings were ~$10k and our monthly burn rate was just about 100% of our earnings. Their fuzzy math is ludicrous.

    EDIT: All Donnie's plan would do is instantly halve the value of the dollar.

  • I am not sure why but one day every international Skype user I know switched to Viber. I wonder what impact Viber had on Skype.

  • I am going to make this statement openly on the Internet. Feel free to make AI generated porn of me as long as it involves adults. Nobody is going to believe that a video of me getting railed by a pink wolf furry is real. Everyone knows I'm not that lucky.

  • We need a truly FOSS browser that developed and maintained by the community. Librewolf isn't it unless it fully forks away from Mozilla. We need a new engine and we just don't have one yet.

  • Over 15 years ago I proposed to a number of universities what could best be described as an apprentice program. Our clients were interested but because there was no defined income stream to the university (they wanted us to pay them to allow us to teach their soon to be graduates) nobody bit. We have been sounding the alarm about Gen-X retiring for years, but nobody wants to hear it. Now a lot of my colleagues are starting to leave the sector or move out of the US to and scale down their hours. Covering their roles is going to be a struggle.

  • Certifications are there to assure the employer that A) you know something B) you are able to be trained. The reason you use 20-30% is because few jobs on the planet require you to know everything. The certification assures that you are at least well read on whatever 20-30% is thrown your way.

  • Funny. As an American concerned about US controlled cloud hosting, I have been opting for Swiss and Icelandic options instead for years. (For my personal stuff)

    Funnier still is that some of our clients are some of the largest firms in Europe and they are all opting to move to Azure against our very strong suggestions that they keep the systems in-house. Watch the EU pass on-shore hosting requirements. That'll be such a shit show.

  • I remember this one. I bought it when it came out right from the magazine rack at Walgreens (how I bought most of my comics back then).
