The Gnome Foundation Struggling to Stay Afloat

    Those decisions include layoffs, most notably Caroline Henrikson, Creative Director, and, Melissa Wu, Director of Community Development.

    Seems they might be listening. If their first two hits are 'community development' and 'creative director', then we can only assume they have probably come to the same conclusion you have stated.

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.
  • BrownianMotion BrownianMotion 3d ago 8%

    Opera GX has promised to keep MV2 in their code. So I'll just keep using that until I see something different. The other thing is that Opera GX has built in ad-blocker which is pretty much on par with third parties.

    Firefox is not the "great browser" you think it is. It has had its fair share of fuckups and failures over the years, like laxed security certificate updates leaving users in limbo.

    Google didn't come and just out do Firefox. It was the other way around, firefox fucked themselves with poor management and failure after failure, and people left. Chrome was the new boy in town, and that is why firefox is where it is today.

    Also, I would never use firefox, if I do need an alternative browser renderer, I use WATERFOX which is far more privacy compliant than firefix ever has been.

    Well apparently you don't understand it either. My point is that there are opposing weather patterns that occur over larger periods you are unaware of.

    It's only you grasping to at insults to have your cringe whinge because someone doesn't believe in your opinion.

  • Social media is becoming infested with climate change denial and misinformation
  • BrownianMotion BrownianMotion 3w ago 5%

    You are also sharing disinformation as well. You say climate change, but you do not define it.

    Many people are aware of El Nino / La Nina and that they cycle roughly 7 years. What most people don't know, is that there are cycles that occur every 25 years, and more that are even longer than that.

    Now consider when those cycles happen to coincide, there is an increased change until those cycles move back out of sync.

    Yes there is climate change, but a large majority of it is out of yours or anyone else's control.

  • Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?
  • BrownianMotion BrownianMotion 2mo ago 100%

    Quantum Computing is still climbing the slope from TT to the Peak of Inflated Expectations. There is still little to no major hype, as its still in "R&D/testing" it is slow, it is expensive (Very) limited due to all the surrounding tech required to make it work like cooling, containment etc..

    Compare this to AI.

    AI is at and heading down from the Peak towards the Trough of Disillusionment. It was easy (relatively) to implement, easy to evolve as how nVidia did, simply throw more silicon at it. The Hype was easy to generate because even while totally misinformed, media and other people out there thought they could easily sell it. Even though most of what they claimed was turd, it sounded amazing and a game changer even in the early stages, and businesses lapped it up. Now they are feeling the pain, and seeing that there are still major hurdles to get past.

    They called an "emergency meeting" this week to solve the mystery
  • BrownianMotion BrownianMotion 2mo ago 40%

    Was that price change overnight? Like its $14 today, and last week it was only $5?

    I'd find it very hard to believe that a change of $9 at a shit sandwich shop would happen overnight. But lets call it $2 per year, that means it was from 2020 and that doesn't make sense either.

    Lets call it $1 a year, with a covid bump in 2019. That would be from ~2016, with a bump in 2019, and assuming that this year is not included since you have not completed you fiscal year yet in the US. So that is a change over 8 years.

    If you must use Windows, download it legitimately from MS website. Use RUFUS to burn the ISO image to a USB. Remove the restrictions you hate.

    This is an open ended question, it seems we need to encourage people to join here as well as being on their preferred platform (which is not ours to discourage or be derogatory about). I still frequent the "that site" because I want to help - but honestly I dont want to help "that site". Not that I am really doing so. However, it feels weird if I do have to say "we are also on fede.. blah blah" and lets be honest about this -- its less support, but by more knowledgeable people (??probably I believe so). How do we get them (and lets face it, Franco) over here to support OSS. I know Franco has paid subscriptions but opnsense is OSS, the community is more than happy to help out if it is not paywalled.
