i don't care what people ingest so long as they are responsible for the results. that includes long term health care and near term things like broken bones from falls or whatever impairment leads to. once anyone becomes my burden i become the boss. at least i strongly feel that it should work...

i hear you can reach mach1 if enough people jump in to beat this particular horse to death

i just built a 2950x threadripper system with a radeon 590 in it last week. i'm using it for a workstation and virtualization host of some other development environments. support via mesa has been great as far as i can tell. Valve has done a great job with it-just-runs windows games. i even have...

this is why i look forward to the Librem 5 - https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/

nothing on iOS is NOT webkit if it's a browser. Apple does not allow 3rd party rendering engines. they suck. Firefox on Android i've found to be pretty damn good

you're funny. they can already do that if you use Chrome. i think we all know the answer to this

cool! now when Windows wants to reboot for updates, i get to cycle my linux machines too! .... ZZzzz

i say this as someone who has been in the field for a little over 20 years and has no particular love for 'www' - leave the url the fuck alone. there is no good reason to alter The Truth in a subtractive manner. you want to paint it green? put a lock *next* to it? cool. but leave the damn url...

^^ this. all browsers on iOS are a bad joke. Apple does not allow 3rd party rendering engines, so really you're getting a wrapper around webview or whatever they call it. basically pick the least invasive/creepy one - likely Firefox. and i thought i read a while back that IE on Android where...

dang i would clean my computer but i got hungry and now i have no more tide pods left :(
