Not strictly true. Firefox gets inferior support from cloud services, like Microsoft. Newer versions of their Web apps are not available on Firefox.

But there should be no downside. It’s all artificial.

Ellen Ripley, no contest.

No superpowers, no special training, no special technology. Simply the wisdom to see a job that needs done and the bravery and determination to do it.

Another vote for nextcloud.

Or synchthing if you want something that is serverless, but does not support sync on demand.

SapphironZA ,

This is similar to the seat size problem.

Maybe standard seats should be bigger (and cost more) , with some option for smaller seats

You can then invite people to get on a scale to see if they qualify for a cheaper seat.

I a big tall person and I always feel sorry for the tiny people having to fly tucked in my armpit.

SapphironZA ,

And moist, lol

SapphironZA ,

Maybe car sales taxes should scale by vehicle weight.

If you consume more of the road, you pay more

SapphironZA ,

Maybe heavier cars and vehicles should have a lower speed limit then.

Could also mention the Assad Genocide next door that has killed more Muslims in 10 years than Israel has in 75.

SapphironZA ,

The US said the same thing about helping Czeckslovakia, then Poland, then Yugoslavia, then France.

Sticking your head in the sand to ignore a problem, does not do anything to address it.

They are collaborating with the Iraqi and Jordanian governments to fight the Islamic State.

You know it comes with a power button that will also switch it on for you? /s

The GOP would never be able to win the electoral college without Texas. So that’s why it will never happen.

But maybe we can trick Abbot, he might be stupid enough to fall for it?

E5 for me. I soak and squeeze the crap out of the teebag.

A tip for everyone to get stronger tee. Put the teebag in a quarter cup of boiled water, then boil it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add the rest of the water. It releases all the favour in the bag.

It’s a lot better than having that CPU on Windows.

Yikes.

Slight male navigational advantage likely due to cultural differences, researchers find (phys.org)

A team of psychologists, social scientists, philosophers and evolutionary researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in the U.S. has found evidence suggesting that the slight advantage males have in navigation ability is likely due to differences in the ways male and female children are raised....

Most men know where they are going, but most are hopeless in remembering to take the correct turnoff without their wife reminding them!

I thought it was the GNU wizards circle that decides these things.

Are you telling me I have been going to the wrong meetings?!

I swear this Linux fragmentation will be the death of it.

SapphironZA ,

Unoccupied residential properties should be taxed at double the normal rate.

And any resident who stays in the “hotel” is classified as a resident. No dodgy the taxes by calling it a hotel.

Then why is the bubble curved and not flat.

Checkmate flerthers!

Not following the recipe correctly:

The oil goes in first

Then the US army

Then, when the oil runs out, the US army leaves and your country is cooked.

SapphironZA ,

It’s also very important to vote carefully before deciding to have a baby. In most 1st world countries, you get a few family responsibilities leave days a year, that an employer cannot deny.

Under law in those countries, you are a parent first and an employee second. That comes with privileges and responsibilities.

SapphironZA ,

What I meant, is that if you plan to have kids, you may want to vote for politicians that will give your children the best future, even after they are born.

It’s also a reflection of how much money you will be spending on each ecosystem

I don’t know Blender, but from experience I found that Manjaro/arch is a bit too bleeding edge for production use. Especially when it comes to non-gaming graphics. I experienced a lot of problems with Manjaro and GPU acceleration in video editing suites. All got solved when I switched to Linux Mint.

Similarly Zorin OS 17 has been good to me. I really like their approach to the Gnome UI (i.e. they kept the newest tech, and removed the space wasting UI components.

The Ubuntu based distros typically have fewer bugs as they typically have an older base.

Fedora is also a decent middle ground.

I would suggest logging a ticket or forum post with Blender on this. It could be a blender bug or a graphics bug, but they would be the best people to advise.

SapphironZA ,

I would favour an AMD Ryzen 7000 based laptop. Much better battery life than Intel and better graphics performance.

Lenovo ThinkPad T and P series are excellent build quality.

Asus Zenbooks or Expertbooks with OLED screens are also excellent. Displays are on par, or superior to Macbooks. Excellent colour accuracy.

Make sure you get something with at least 16GB of Ram, or 32GB if available.

SapphironZA ,

DRM only affects paying customers. It plays no role in effectively combatting piracy.

Only good service and good pricing is effective against piracy.

Apartheid, of a sort yes.

Genocide, not even close.

Oppression and occupational yes

Judge orders Starbucks to rehire, give backpay to fired Colorado union leader (www.cbsnews.com)

Alendra ‘Len’ Harris says she feels validated by the judge’s ruling, which she says also backs up the hundreds of similar allegations from other Starbucks workers around the country who have unionized in an effort to get better pay and working conditions.

SapphironZA ,

What about punitive payments to cover mental health, legal and financial costs related to the firing?

SapphironZA ,

That bear is going to have a good shit in the woods.

You are what you eat after all.

SapphironZA ,

Correct, Hershey’s is not for human consumption.

It was the worst thing about my holiday in America. The chocolate is universally terrible. Way too sweet, rough texture and chemical taste to the dairy content (something in the milk used).

Secondhand item came with previous owner's files on the SD card, do I return the card or format it?

I bought a 3d printer off Ebay which got delivered not too long ago, and it came with 2 sd cards - one with a build video and some demo print files, but worryingly another card that has all the previous owner’s personal files on there....

SapphironZA ,

Reach out to them and ask. The card is now yours, but the data is theirs.

I am sure if needed they can give you an online folder to upload the contents if needed.

I'm returning my Lenovo laptop that gave me tons of compatibility issues and getting this Dell XPS 13 instead. Thoughts? (www.bestbuy.com)

I’m going with this Dell and returning my Lenovo Slim 7 Pro. In my previous thread saying I switched to Windows I read that Dells offer great compatibility. I ordered this Dell XPS 13 and plan on going with Pop OS. Thoughts on this? Good choice?...

SapphironZA ,

Another vote for the framework. They are the only manufacturer actively supporting Windows and Linux.

SapphironZA ,

I got great battery life improvements with TLP.

I also found that AMD laptops do a lot better on idle power draw. Getting 12 hours of video playback out of my Asus Zenbook 14 compared to 10 hours on windows.

SapphironZA ,

I would love to watch Netanyahu and the Hamas leaders all hang together. Preferably by their genitals.

SapphironZA ,

People who grow up believing that when the innocent die, they go to heaven.

They simply don’t value human life the way rational people do.

SapphironZA ,

Is this footage from Syrian again?

SapphironZA ,

If you should shout “happy holidays” in front of that house, it all just catches fire instantly.

Thoughts and prayers for the family loving under such dangerous circumstances.

SapphironZA ,

Love it!

Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

Half of India tech industry still runs on windows 7.

And the choices of others.

It’s a TV series at this point.

YouTube screwing itself with adblockers again

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Not sure what kind of experience anyone else is having with YouTube, but recently my home page has been empty because I “don’t have watch history turned on”. Okay, fine. I won’t be able to browse suggested videos, and I’ll spend less time on their platform....

SapphironZA ,

My YouTube homepage has been set to the subscriptions tab for 7 years now.

SapphironZA ,

To clarify, I changed my bookmark to be the subscription page

SapphironZA ,

The sluggishness you experienced has a lot to do with Ubuntu itself. At its base it’s a very good OS, but canonical is messing up on the details.

Ubuntu derivatives like Linux Mint or PopOS have spent a lot of time resolving this. They perform very well for most and have got excellent stability because their software stack is a little older.

For gaming, fedora is probably the base OS that most prefer at the moment. It’s at a good balance point of stability the latest tech.

The other option if you want to go more bleeding edge is Manjaro, but expect some things to break on occasion.

SapphironZA ,

I am sure they have the pressure of expectation on the, but from how genuine they come across, they were inspired and shared their father’s and mother’s (don’t forget her) love for animals.

I am not sure that can be faked so convincingly.
