Uh, I still have the same question. Linking to Wikipedia doesn’t really answer the question.

I am sure that most of the cereals I’ve tried in recent years have changed since I was a child. Not for the better.

corporate America has spent the last 15 years hiring people based on their race instead of their qualifications

Wait, in what universe did that happen?

What annoys me is that they seem to just ignore any requests to fix things that are broken. For instance, I don’t want to see everyone’s incoming video by default. I have to turn it off for. Every. Single. Meeting.

And I’m hardly the only one. Here is an example of someone asking for this, back in 2020:

I suspect that Microsoft views Teams users as basically hostages since it’s often something forced onto a big user base at many companies. If you hate it? Too bad: if you want to stay employed, you’ll just use it.

…and a lot that are not that independent. I never stopped using RSS. It’s only because it’s not so easily monetized that it’s not more widely known, I bet.

I always think of Kramer saying he faked orgasms, LOL. 🤣

I’ll be honest; I bounce between several browsers - Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, and even sometimes Edge, and sometimes it takes a second for me to even remember which one I’m looking at. Firefox is great for very specific work flows I have, but for a lot of other things, most other browsers will do.

Maybe it’s because I tend to bounce around that I find it very interesting to hear that FF is difficult to use.

Came here to say this. I wish other browsers would catch up to Firefox and add this feature for when I have to use them (esp. Chrome/Edge).

Not that benchmarks matter a whole lot these days, but I think for some benchmarks it was faster than Chrome. It’s close enough to not even be a factor, in any case.

Also, it has a feature that Chrome seemingly has no analogue for, and that is: containers.

I never entirely stopped using Firefox. I still use Chrome alongside Firefox for certain things at work.

Well, the fine print on the FREEZED PEACH types is: “offer only good for cons.”

Xitter is a Nazi hang out, taken over by a sympathizer. No explanation needed.

I wonder if he ever had it.

Depending on what you have a taste for, I seem to remember seeing this in Emacs:

Wow, that went swimmingly.

All I can is that I’m sorry this is happening to you guys. Are there specific ways others can help?

Yep. I know someone that does related work for a living, and there are definite time limits and so on for exactly the reasons you say. This kind of stuff leaves a mark on normal people.

Sounds like a digital form of SWATing.

Yes, agreed.

Well, he did a cameo on Big Bang Theory, so he must be an engineer, right?

Which part(s) did he do, though?
