Be depressed

Instant star from me. Looking forward to the Gnome port.

This American Life and Heavyweight

Two-horse chariot races (bigae) were held in the Campus Martius, the area of Rome named for Mars, after which the right-hand horse of the winning team was transfixed by a spear, then sacrificed. The horse’s head (caput) and tail (cauda) were cut off and used separately in the two subsequent parts of the ceremonies: two neighborhoods staged a fight for the right to display the head, and the freshly bloodied cauda was carried to the Regia for sprinkling the sacred hearth of Rome.

Alrighty then

If you’re on Android and use Firefox, you can use the Disable JavaScript extension to disable JS on sites with paywalls, like NYtimes. While not perfect, it works remarkably well.

Also works great on Desktop.

The “translator” was probably just some hapless programmer who fed it to ChatGPT, and does not speak a word of German nor gets paid enough to check.

Same here. No longer on Reddit every day since I deleted Relay from my phone. But I do still tack “Reddit” at the end of my searches since it makes my searches much, much more useful.

Found this open source, docker based, self hosted app for editing PDFs a few months ago. Works well enough for basic operations the last time I tried it (though not sure if it can delete columns from tables): https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF

Figured I’d post the link here in case it helps you or anyone else.

Totally valid point.

To what end, though? The man blew 44b on a site that apparently was only worth 5-10b, and that was before he ran it into the ground. He also destroyed his reputation and the mystique as “genius entrepreneur” which the world can now clearly see he never was.

I can’t think of a single net positive. I think it’s an age old tale with people with too much money: he fell victim to an over inflated ego and too many yes men aiming to please. He started to believe he really was brilliant.

Sad thing is the man has so much money he still can’t fail, personally. He’ll have destroyed Twitter and even more people will lose their jobs. And autocrats around the world will be pleased. Musk will just shrug, tell himself it wasn’t his fault, “it was the libs” or something, and move on.

Eta: the only winners here, as per usual, are the shareholders.

Jesus, that is beyond awful. I’m really sorry she had to go through so much bullshit and I’m really glad she’s speaking up.

On the one hand I agree, it’s not just the OS that’s replaced, it’s also the programs that run on it (unless they use cloud based apps, of course).

On the other hand, the Germany example you mentioned was 15 or so years ago. I imagine Linux has matured a lot since then.

Would Jan Lul be relevant to this discussion?

Regulate Big Tech and be done with it.

Is Brave safe from these shenanigans? Asking for a friend.

That man’s got no god damn sense.

What’s a good playthrough you can recommend?
