This is one of the many things Homer taught us all.

Ya, it’d still be huge for Firefox, but what I’m really getting at is that even with this change, Chrome is going nowhere. They’re the big fish, they can afford to make these kinds of changes, because the people who care are a very small minority.
If coos don’t want to their they shouldn’t get paid.
I think this should be “If COOs don’t want to work there, they shouldn’t get paid”.
Or are getting somewhere else
No idea on this bit. Maybe “or should get a job somewhere else”?
The uBlock Origin chrome extension has had 34 million users.
Chrome has 3.45 billion users.
Even if every uBlock user switched, it’s less than 1% of chrome users.
Either;
A. You don’t take on any new tasks before the meeting. You’re already too distracted by the meeting to start anything new. So now you’re sitting there killing time for an hour until the meeting starts. You were doodling in a notepad, missed the start of the meeting, and joined 5 minutes late.
B. You were working on something and didn’t realise it was meeting time. Someone messages you 5 minutes after the meeting started, reminding you to join. You’ve completely forgotten what the meeting is about and it takes you a further 5 minutes to get your bearings.
A computer: does anything.
Tech journalists: is this AI?
Gaming journalists sure want a Sony monopoly of gaming consoles, don’t they?
Despite the inflammatory headline, I don’t think that’s really the point of the article. It’s much less “why even bother”, and more “do they even know what they’re doing over there”?
Any hatred the writer has for Xbox seems to be focused on how Microsoft are running things, not letting the studios take chances or even make a bit of a dud game.
As a platform, the point of Xbox is supposed to be to make things people enjoy. But MS seem hyper-focused on insane rates of growth, more users, more subscribers, bigger profits. Anything that doesn’t fit that gets cut, regardless of how well it was received by fans or critics.
I don’t get the impression the writer hates Xbox, but is just frustrated that they’ve been making the same mistake over and over again, which has allowed Sony to dominate the console space.
Yup, think it was pretty common too. Mine had it, all the photos would come out purple.
The VLC guy turned down what a quick search is telling me was “several tens of millions” to show ads. I can’t even imagine what getting people to drop ublock would be worth.
If you’re looking for something you can carry about and use to store data on, why not just a USB-C thumb drive or external SSD?
Edit; this is intended for photographers, but you can get external SSDs that create their own WiFi network so you can transfer files wiressly to and from them: https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/portable-drives/wd-my-passport-wireless-ssd?sku=WDBAMJ2500AGY-EESN
I have a Garmin Forerunner 55. It’s light on my wrist and the battery lasts 2 weeks. I don’t think it’s lacking any functionality I had on my OG pebble, but it’s got a few more bells and whistles.
“I cast lightning bolt”
Flicks switch
I’d always read it the same way. Watching Looney Tunes and realising one of the characters was called Yosemite Sam was what made it click for me somehow. I still say yoss-em-ite in my head though.
It’s a link to the Irish Times, an Irish newspaper, so this is Ireland (not the UK).
OP could have added that bit when posting it, but I can’t really blame the newspaper for not including it in their headline. Their core audience knows that they’re speaking about Ireland unless it’s stated otherwise.
It’s not necessarily about a threat to instances or users. It’s more an issue with how Meta could potentially hijack the protocol the whole thing is built on, and do damage in the long run. There’s a write up here on how similar things have happened in the past;

I saw a Vespa today for the first time in ages, and kind of wondered why mopeds have fallen so out of favour. There used always be a few 16 year olds belting about on them.
But why would anyone get one when they can have an ebike? Vespa is likely more expensive, needs petrol, you need a licence, a (relatively) expensive helmet, you need costly insurance.
Compared to an e-bike that’s half the price, doesn’t need a licence or insurance, can be ridden with a normal cycling helmet, and is allowed use bike lanes. It’s a bit of a no brainer.
