I decided to look at your history here.

I think you’d feel more at home on /b/. (derogatory)

Ew. Can’t say I’m super surprised, though. IIRC, the dev started pushing to further monetize these apps a while back by making the original versions harder to access. I mean, getting money for their work isn’t a bad thing, of course, but those are some gross and uncaring ways to do it.

So… Basically just tangentially linux-related. Also, Xenia wasn’t the original mascot. Tux came first, and Xenia was proposed as an alternative, but never took off.

Those are all Chromium now.

Finally getting a Bucees up close to Amarillo soon I’ve heard, honestly can’t wait to check it out.

Sorry, but that’s a naive perspective itself. Knowledge of advanced topics and maturity don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand. For instance, my first plunge into such topics was in 2007 at age 11.

Your typing and mannerisms are very child-like, and your responses show a naivety indicative of immaturity. Not an insult, just an observation, but I did see your post a few days ago, and the statement “Xenia wouldn’t say that,” struck me as… Prepubescent.

They admitted they were slowing users with ad blockers, but many Firefox users reported experiencing the slowdown regardless of whether they used an ad blocker.

The article I linked, however, says that they couldn’t get the delay to happen at all, so it’s entirely possible it was just so poorly implemented that it was affecting people almost at random.

Except that they’ve already displayed that they won’t. Recently, Firefox users were targeted with an artificial delay on YouTube. When caught, they claimed it was about ad blockers… Except it didn’t affect chrome users with adblock and affected Firefox users without adblock.

And this has happened multiple times over the years, where little headaches and inconveniences would crop up on Google services, all of which could be fixed by changing your user agent so the site thinks you’re running chrome.

Amazon also lets you download music without DRM, and I know Apple did ten years ago before I dropped them. I don’t think there’s a single legal option for film, though. I think the person you’re replying to is full of shit.

Closest thing? Last time I used their stuff, Apple let you download video you buy. It has DRM, though, so if they lose the license to it, it’s pretty much moot anyway.

Man, fuck Google. Yeah, they reversed it. They also automatically deny any appeals, the fuckbags.

I run it on low vram mode because the wiki says they consider low as 4GB or less.

Unless the woke mind virus, which is fundamentally anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human in general, is stopped, civilisation will never become multi-planetary.

How can anyone hear him say that and not think he’s totally deranged?

Damn, I don’t remember that part at all.

Eh, not always plausible. I got it to work on a 2GB card, albeit very slowly, but that was apparently dumb luck.

Actually, it may have been some form of wizardry in the third-party drivers I was using, because now I’ve got a more powerful machine with a better card, and things are about as slow, but with weirdly more “out of memory” errors.

So… Software designed to make things up made something up when asked to make something up? Okay…

So you think going from “This didn’t exist yet” to “This existed, it just wasn’t used,” doesn’t in any way cheapen the older stories?

You’re right, it doesn’t violate the canon.

It just cheapens it.

That might be the grossest headline I’ve ever seen.

That’s all well and good for the lore, but it doesn’t make it feel any less like a way of getting out of the corner they wrote themselves into. It would also probably be little comfort for the version of the Voyager crew that took something like 70 years to get home.

I’ve enjoyed Discovery. Not as much as other series, but I have enjoyed it. I still think the spore drive is a story that should’ve been told later in the timeline, though.
