Joke's on you, I read Homestuck, I've been trained to put up with the weirdest typing quirks you can imagine.

Feels like a historical rhyme to all the toolbars people would install into their browsers, only now it's extensions.

We need leaders, but nobody wants to follow a nobody, and nobody with clout or name recognition or anything that might give them that necessary sense of authority wants to do anything with what they've got. And it doesn't help that leftists don't respond well to being told what to do by an authority figure.

I'm not saying we're fucked, but I am saying it was never going to be easy and won't be going forward no matter what metric you're using to define movement or success.

The best thing an individual can do is do whatever they can in the sphere of their influence. That's going to look like something different for everyone, too, so it's hard to give specific advice or marching orders, however you want to frame it.

For me, it's making sure to talk to members of my community and hold our mayor and council accountable by showing up to meetings and making our voices known. But I live somewhere where that means something. I'm lucky. I don't know what to say to people who don't feel like that's an option for them.

Good to know about the change in ownership. I wonder if that's why they were so radio silent on updates for so long. During that time, I flipped to Floorp, which I've been pretty happy with.

I've been enjoying OnlyOffice myself! (LibreOffice is fine, I just like the UI of OnlyOffice more.)

Why do you feel they're better than a spoon?

I've got one; bought on a whim at the local farmer's market from a beekeeper. I kind of hate it though.

Is that some kind of Disney font?

I agree with the comments that things aren't exactly clear cut and there's definitely room for doubt. Besides, he is innocent unless proven guilty.

Headlines where I have to remind myself not to downvote the OP for sharing news even when I despise the person being reported on.

You called it. " One of the mission’s main goals is to build a centralized platform that will house a huge collection of datasets collected “over decades of federal investments,” as well as datasets from academic institutions and partners from the private sector."

The foundation of modern software is cracking under the weight of burnout.

 

Customer service support company 5CA has released a statement contradicting claims by Discord that it was the victim of a hack last month.
...
5CA says that a preliminary investigation showed that the incident may have been the result of "human error," though it offers no details as to what exactly that implies.

I believe folks have mentioned ZenDesk was involved and this is probably the true source, but the waters have been getting kind of muddy. I think it's important to keep putting pressure on this situation until the truth falls out, if it ever does.

 

Going forward, it will group any text ads on the Search page into a "Sponsored results" section that will appear at the top of the screen. ... Once you scroll past the section with ads, you can click a button to hide all sponsored results.

Sometimes when I'm randomly hit with an unexplainable negative emotion, I think of it in terms of having a permanent curse that just randomly debuffs me.
