it’s not just google. over in windows-land, informational text and documentation that used to be presented in locally-stored help files or displayed on screen are now links to bing searches that open in edge. because having documentation isn’t profitable, i guess.

i dunno which it cycled through last…

“party of your lifetime” in my ass

or

“the great despair” in my ass.

both from wf1999 ost

it’s probably gonna be plasma6 by a hair over cinnamon on a rolling distribution. as much as people shit on manjaro here and on that other site, it has never broke on me–whether i update constantly or let it go 2-3 months between them.

but if the de and the underlying os are magically compatible, and those and programs kept up to date, never obsolete, and new ones appear for it as needed or desired… then sorry, it won’t be linux… i’m going back to something like 95osr2, 98se or w2k.

friends don’t let friends microwave pizza rolls.

i cast BSOD

what’s your favorite birthday pie?

which piece first?

i usually go for the ends and work my way to the middle.

it was a $2.04b jackpot. would have paid out that much as an annuity over like 25 years or something. taxes would have been withheld from those payments.

the ‘lump sum’ option was $997.6m, which is what the winner opted for. after taxes the amount received was actually $628.5m.

whoever pulled the $424m out of their backside took another dose of taxes out of the payment that already had taxes deducted.

none. sounds like you’re cursed to ride the windows train for life.

i’ve been using firefox and its predecessors since the very beginning, all the way back to pre-release navigator.

i do have (and have always had) other browsers installed (using ‘portable’ installations of them, mostly, these days). currently those include vivaldi, opera, librewolf and waterfox. at least one of which is added along side firefox on each desktop (most often also with a firefox dev edition). these are mostly for testing but also to separate specific online tasks into their own browser. the chromium-based ones are used for very specific things requiring addons that don’t work well or at all with firefox.

unless i need to in order to assist a client, i do not use chrome as provided by google, and i do not use edge from microsoft except for its primary function: downloading another browser when i don’t have a flash drive handy with its installer already downloaded and saved to it.

having actually read the policy documents in question and considering the intent and purpose of the changes that mozilla is making, i have no plans on changing my primary browser.

me too. i’m in total control.

i see 'em, i eat 'em.

even the old ‘xp mode’ for win7 was just a vm.

tuna & peas with shells & cheese

just on top of smashed (baked or boiled, cut, mushed with a fork, buttered) potatoes is pretty good

peas is often added to tuna noodle hotdish. you can put the frozen peas in with the noodles as they cook. they’ll be ‘done enough’ when the noodles are.

dried peas make a damn good soup.

like the fuckface ever graduated on his own…

the only thing i sometimes wish i could do–snake only gets you so far on my nokia.

but i usually just carry a book when i go somewhere i may have to sit awhile. when i’m reading, most everything gets tuned right out.

in case you really, really wanna go there and see that billion dollar body: warning: do not click unless you have good insurance and a puke bucket nearby

putin?

i was impressed with cosmic when i gave it a spin here… it has a lot of potential… just still very ‘incomplete’ currently.

error. must be between 150% and 1000%

a tipped employee who does that work for years will also see shit for social security later on, as that’s based on your reported and taxed earnings.
