Zen is a fork of Firefox, supports Firefox extensions, and retains the built-in access to the Mozilla extension/theme stores from vanilla Firefox. If you go to install an addon, it even gives a popup to “Add to Firefox”.

It’s a good browser with only minor issues. I’m on Win10; automatic updates don’t always succeed, and it seems like it blocks some communication between the 1password desktop app and the browser extension because I have to sign into each separately. Otherwise, I prefer it to Firefox in pretty much every way.

Which society?

For wanting to leave a legacy that will last, and a message for anyone or anything that finds it? No, that’s not insane, that’s understandable, I think.

What will determine the insanity quotient is the message you want to inscribe.

IT here, please don’t drag us into this… unless you’re looking for help. We enjoy malicious compliance just as much as anyone else.

Great, now all those good-looking emergency personnel are going to be tied up answering marketing calls instead of driving out in their nicer vans to help up elderly people who’ve fallen.

It’s funny you say that, because in my experience what you’re describing is Arch. Mint, meanwhile, was the first time I’d used Linux and had it “just work”. What distro are you using that you don’t have to “fiddle-fuck around” with it at all?

No joke, that’s the distro I’m going with 🙌 Mint is great!

Even if all the processing remained on my devices, I still wouldn’t want or trust it. Microsoft could change that policy at any time, claim something like my logging in to my local account constituted agreeing to their new terms, and expose screenshots of my password manager in an unsecured public data store.

Fuck Windows Recall, and fuck Microsoft generally for being so fucking awful to their customers but mainly fuck them for forcing me to finally make good on my threat to switch to Linux. I’ve been using Windows for over thirty years and switching off their spyware for ten, but this is the final straw.

If you knew why you got downvoted you wouldn’t have had to ask. But you asked, and you got an answer; what you think isn’t really relevant.

My eyes and ears revealed the double standard, for it was glaring.

You would not believe how many more bags you can fit in that one bag if you fold them, rather than crumple them!

Exactly! I can cook, I just choose not to most of the time haha!

Ah, I’ve never worked food service (which I view as privilege; it sounds like it would be very hard for me as I struggle with sensory overload and emotional overwhelm, even in less busy and stressful environments) so maybe that has something to do with it.

I hear you on the creativity; while I was still young and learning, my ex-wife did refuse to eat my cooking after the second recipe I “modified” “creatively”. But really there was just too much lemon in the lemon chicken, and it’s not like it was mostly lemon. Just very lemony 😂

That’s odd; I only enjoy cooking when I’m cooking for others. If it’s just me, I don’t give a fuck; pb&j, or I’ll order, or Soylent… Or I just don’t eat, much easier.

Everyone talking about how octopi is incorrect and at the time of this writing not a single comment contains the correct plural:

octopodes

Edit:

The equipment for making paper pellets includes hammer mill, dryer, pellet making machine, pellet cooler and pellet packing machine. For small-scale production, the dryer, pellet cooler and packer are optional.

So convenient!

No, you just don’t like DBZA because you watched it wrong.

So I have a nice phone, a very nice monitor and mechanical keyboard, and a good computer. And all with the right to repair philosophy. Same for my wife and kids.

Jeez man, I’m happy for you, but most of us are stuck with stock model bullshit that broke in 2016. Go brag about your consumer friendly right-to-repair family in c/BuyItForLife.

(I kid, of course 😊 Solid approach you have there, smart and sustainable)

Depends, but it’s best when they react like they’re at a black metal concert: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SomGqAYB-jE
