Hmm… I think that’s related, but not quite what we’re looking for here. Maybe this one would work better.

I’ve had Fedora on several computers, and everything worked for quite a while while. Eventually though, things just began to break randomly - probably a sign of me not doing much maintenance.

The most common issue was Gnome Software center failing to update anything. I just ignored that app, and continued to upgrade through the CLI for a while. Eventually, I just got tired of that, and installed Debian on my HTPC.

Now I can finally treat that computer the way I want. Just install, watch videos, update when needed, and ignore the rest. I have another computer for satisfying my tinkering desires, so this one is just for the videos and very light browsing, but not much else. Therefore, Debian is the perfect distro for this kind of use.

Carbon Capture and Utilization = Capture the CO2, turn it into fuel, burn it and return to square one of the climate crisis.

Carbon Capture and Storage = Basically like digging up coal and burning it, but in reverse. The end result is less CO2 in the atmosphere and more carbon locked away underground.

This thing produces ethylene, so there’s a huge temptation to use it for CCU, instead of CCS. I guess you could still turn that into more stable forms, such as plastic, but don’t we already have too much of that.

Wow, that’s pretty clever.

What does it do?

Oh, that’s a very good point. Makes me wonder why Mozilla doesn’t talk about donations very much. Must be a strategic decision or something.

As someone who is severely allergic to ads, I really don’t like this transition, but I understand why they’re doing it.

Mozilla seems to be facing a tough problem. How do you make money when your core audience isn’t enough to support the company, but you can’t realistically pivot to a new audience without kicking out all of the old users. Would it be better if Mozilla just faded into irrelevancy and focussed on developing Thunderbird instead? The FOSS community would have to continue to support Firefox, which would slow down development to such an extent that it probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with the rest of the web.

Maybe one day plastic processing plants could use larvae to eat the waste. We’re already using microbes in this way, so why not extend the same idea to larger creatures.

Also, there’s the actual Chad, which is bigger than Texas.

Some times you bump into these special connectors that follow no standards at all. If a manufacturer can’t squeeze an already custom board into a case why not just spit it in half and stack them on top of each other.

What happened in Iceland? I really thought they would have inherited this kind of stuff from Norway.

When in doubt, always guess it’s a Swedish loanword. You’ll be right surprisingly often.

I don’t have numbers that would directly address that. However, there are lots of statistics on the number of mobile users vs desktop users when it comes to the traffic in general. This trend has been clearly visible for about 15 years now.

Here’s something I found on a short notice. link

LOL. Those 3 weeks must have been really exciting at Llama Group. I can only imagine how the conversion went when the engineers tried to explain what FOSS means and the CEO understood none of it.

Not that many people use real computers any more. At work, you may need to use a computer, but you probably can’t change the browser. At home, you have the PCMR folks who use a computer and probably also care about browsers. Everyone else just uses a tablet or a phone for browsing the web.

Speaking of the web, most people interact with specific websites through an app and an API, so they don’t even launch the mobile browser until they have to visit a site that doesn’t have an app. The world has changed and browsers aren’t as relevant as they used to be.

Is sleep hygiene important in your life? For example, you watch youtube videos close to bedtime?

But Google would much rather keep all of the data for themselves. If you could actually control what’s happening in your phone, it could interfere with Google’s main business model.

Some wise Lemmy user once said something like this: “Windows is an enterprise OS with consumer features. MacOS is a consumer OS with enterprise features.”

If that’s really the case, MS doesn’t really care that much about the consumer market. My guess is, most of the money comes from various companies anyway.
