Well, it does say it would be a floating colony, so it would probably be up where the atmosphere is about as dense as Earth’s, and above the sulfuric acid clouds, which is quite a bit more feasible than on the surface. That’s something actual real scientists and engineers have looked at. Still not overly feasible though, and there surely won’t be a 1000-person colony there by 2050. Even if NASA, SpaceX and the rest of the industry pivoted to Venus rather than Mars, I’d doubt that could happen. And I’d trust pretty much anyone more than this guy to pull it off.

Nah, nah, it was the International Phonetic Alphabet. Can’t have something like that on the 'murican internet.

I’d be on board with this, but as you say it’s a show of a community’s coordination. Are there any lemmy communities coordinating anything? I couldn’t see any in a brief search, but I very well might have missed something.

I have been using BitWarden, and it’s pretty good, but I’m shifting over to Keepass now, syncing the database with syncthing. Means I don’t have to trust they won’t be breached, but it is definitely a bit more of a faff to get set up. For anyone unsure, I would definitely recommend a managed service like BitWarden though. I got my sister on it, who would probably have a single password for everything otherwise, and she got the hang of it super quick.

For all the memes, Arch has not once broken on me.

None of that is chromium. Vivaldi could have built that on top of Firefox, but didn’t. As to why Firefox is better, the very fact that it’s an alternative that is keeping up technically is a benefit. It’s less a ‘V-shaped engine’ monopoly and moreso a ‘V8 engine made by a specific company’ monopoly. They have far too much control over the direction of web standards. Much of what they are doing is actually good, but it should then be spread based on merit, rather than because they directly control almost the entire market.
