So it looks like the CEO of mozilla is bleeding firefox to pad his salary. Thats disappointing. Are we sure firefox wasn’t simply taken over by a private-equity firm?

I see that you too have heard the prophecy.
I haven’t used a new printer or an inkjet in a number of years now, but using my 18yo HP laserjet is a matter of plugging it in and checking it’s status under the main distro settings menu. That was also on par with the windows process iirc.
I do remember 20 years ago when I had to sideload pcmcia wifi drivers, though.
Nah, being an asshole is just a minimum requirement to becoming megawealthy with regards to anything but the lottery. —I didn’t say that immense luck still wasn’t required. That’s a given and the fact that most megarich people don’t recognize this feeds back into them being assholes.
I can’t say that I agree. If lotteries don’t bring in more money to fund public services than they pay out, then that’s a failing of a political nature. That means it could be a failing of an entire state population if that state represents a democracy, or it could be a failing of a states corrupt political class if that state isn’t a democracy. Regardless, it’s not necessarily a corruption of the winner which I was referring to earlier. Additionally, I’ve heard the “tax on the stupid and the poor” concept multiple times before, and the level of condescension towards the lower class in a discussion about financial ethics has never sat right with me. It also ignores the entertainment aspect of playing the lottery. If we really want to do away with a tax on the poor as well as the foolish, then perhaps it’s more important to end excise (AKA sin) taxes, but that’s also beside the subject.
Both but I believe to a certain degree a person can have a certain amount without it corrupting them. Beyond that point, everyone is corrupted. There are no truly benevolent billionaires because a person must engage in various questionable practices to keep growing their wealth at such an exponential rate. Basic market economics dictates that a business entity competing for a limited market share must repeatedly find new ways to make more profit by using strategies their competitors aren’t. This includes but is not limited to skirting around regulations and laws, and somebody unquestionably runs those companies.
I also think most people massively underestimate the impact that conditioning puts on a person’s outward demeanor, but that leads into a deeper tangentially related discussion. Regardless, people are complex creatures.
—To put it simply, to become a billionaire or even a typical* megamillionaire a person must invariably step on someone else.
*The only exception I can think of are SOME lottery jackpot winners.
It’s easier to steal, copy, or alternatively subpoena a fingerprint.
Biometrics, huh? You know- passwords are more secure…
We’re not the moral police. There are many Americans who are diehard pro-genocide. There are others that are implicitly pro-genocide. They just don’t hang out on Lemmy. Also, our media is focused on Israel right now. Most Americans don’t know what our military is doing elsewhere in the world and the media doesn’t cover it. It’s hard for a populist politician to take a stand against our military industrial complex when the population doesn’t know what that Complex is doing. That industry fights back.
High energy usage and a smell of cannabis. If they got a warrant for this raid then there was also a judged who fucked up.
Also according to the article she was alleged to have continued conspiring over recorded phone calls with her codefendant (after she was already charged)
Judges don’t like when alleged crimes continue after a person is already charged for similar crimes.

Life imprisonment is cheaper than execution in America.
The first and ONLY season of Altered Carbon. I love the dystopian cyberpunk sci-fi film noir style.
I love it!
The schadenfreude, I mean.
Here you go, I just double checked this one:
They’ve changed parent companies at least 4 different times over the years. This is the one found on the IHeartRadio website.
I would but much like somebody else’s recent post I have in the past nuked my install by blindly agreeing to some recommended software removals before. These days I like to double check what packages are being updated and replaced.
For Debian based/descended distros:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
And technically I also regularly use
redshift -O 3000
all of the blue light filter programs try to align themselves with a user’s geographic location and time, but I don’t keep normal hours
The users most likely to complain are also the users least likely to stop using their products.
Well I’ve just read every comment on this thread and I’m relieved to realize that our recitation of our National Pledge of Allegience at every opportunity is in-fact seen as totally normal.
