Mozilla’s not going to undermine the thing that’s going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

The malware is other League players.

However over time you notice some things. First, it doesn’t let you sit incorrectly (like with your leg folded under your butt). Second, you can sit in in for hours (covid work from home situation) and be perfectly fine. Third, after 3+ years of ownership, it’s immaculate.

This right here. People expect to sit in an expensive chair and get a soft, plush, “comfortable” feeling. No, that’s not what a quality chair is for. A quality chair’s purpose is to let you be 40 years old, sit in it for an 8 hour workday, and get up at the end of the day with zero back pain (at least, none from sitting in the chair).

I forget how uncomfortable chairs can be until I travel for work and have to sit in something else for a whole day.

I spent $300 and $400 for my two used ones.

A true quality office chair, like the Herman Miller Aeron, and not one of those awful “racing chair” game streamer pieces of junk.

Doesn’t even have to be brand new. I bought both of my Aerons used, and I think their manufacture dates are like 2008 and 2013. I’ve had them for many years, sat in the 2008 one every workday for the past 10 years, and it might as well still be new. I see no reason that I won’t sit in it for the next 10 years. I could have gone through a bunch of crappy Office Depot chairs in that span.

At what age do you tell boomer parents the truth about Christmas? That their daughter who moved away to the “bIg CiTy” so she could get an “eDuCaTiOn” and pursue a “CaReEr” and “dRiNk LaTtEs” is actually happy there, is not going to come home from Christmas, fall in love with the blue collar boy who never left town, and magically discover the rural housewife life is what she actually wanted all along?

Capitalism: “No.”

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for any sort of epic crash.

I expect that home ownership is going to become solely for the upper-middle class and up, and that home prices won’t make any serious downward movement.

I expect the housing crisis will eventually start to ease as areas become more accepting of high-density housing development, and that will become the sole province of people with finances beneath the home ownership class.

Essentially, the establishment of a much more distinct and explicit two-tier system. Prices in one will have minimal impact on the other, much like how any swing in prices for small passenger boats has no impact on the price of yachts.

Everything I own, except the burial plot. I bought that for death.

Bidet standing up. Making it brown rain.

How has it been like 20 years since Slashdot was relevant, and we’re still getting the same, “LOL install Linux instead” comments?

Like, I’ve been using and loving Linux since the late '90. But damn, I’m expecting to see “Micro$oft” in these comments any moment.

Put a large collection of albums into your “Library”.

Now try to pull up a list of a single artist’s albums within your Library.

The “Library” management is so remedial that it’s basically a joke. It can’t measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It’s completely unusable for a serious music collection.

It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.

YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It’s inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.

Old graphics. Not bad graphics.

You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

It’s ridiculous how much Mastodon advocates downplay this.

I strongly prefer Mastodon over the alternatives, but the onboarding experience is BAD for the average user.

YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

There’s a reason it’s called “bodybuilding” and not “brainbuilding”.

Rapoport (at least on Twitter) only said the supposed raid on Halas Hall did not take place. He did not refute the report of a raid on Williams’ house. And as far as things stand now, no one has explicitly refuted the claim of a raid of Williams’ home. Even his lawyer’s statement specifically said, “There’s been no raid on Halas Hall.”

It seems like everyone is tiptoeing around the supposed raid of his home, as PFT noted in their story an hour ago about where things stand. We still have no confirmation of a raid on his house, but everyone is very carefully only refuting the half of the raid story that relates to Halas Hall.

There’s a lot of rumors and unconfirmed reports that this is about more than just “health and family”.

All I’m gonna say is that we’ve seen coaches have to step down for their health, and it’s never looked like this. Usually the team is incredibly open and supportive, while the Bears seem to be trying to get Williams as out of sight and mind as soon as possible.

I don’t know the reasoning, but somehow I doubt we’ll be seeing any #ALANSTRONG banners at Soldier Field.

At some point it will be too obvious. Instead of making it too big, have it scale back down, then back up, etc.
