Gonna get my news one pixel at a time just like grandpappy did on his 9600 baud.

It’s actually incredible for getting real reading done without my ADHD taking over and opening up 30 tabs of “ooh whats this?”

I would pay good money for a mod that has Jayne as a crewmember, and any time you ask him to do anything he just walks away murmuring “I’ll be in my bunk”

NMS did such a better job of looking like a movie poster than Starfield could ever have hoped to.

I do, in fact. I get that they are typically open-source, and I also understand how ridiculously difficult it is to create one from scratch. If LibreWolf or whoever want to make privacy focused browsers based on mozilla foundation or google that’s fine and I support it, but I’m personally curious if there are any mainstream browsers that don’t have any (or minimal) reliance on google and mozilla foundation.

lol if it ever gets to that point i’m just gonna go straight Lynx.

Oh good, more rust! (j/k i don’t have the feverish hatred of rust that some people seem to)
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 day ago:
That’s still a fork of Firefox, isn’t it? I was hoping to find a reasonably modern browser that doesn’t rely on gecko or blink. I’d be okay with a WebKit browser but I don’t have a Mac.
- Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox 1 day ago:
If anyone has any suggestions for browsers hook me up, I’m running out of browsers with thier own engines to try. I don’t see much point in using, say, LibreWolf if the engine is still the same as Firefox (Gecko in this case). Maybe I’ll give NetSurf a try and pretend like it’s 1996 again.

- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
I wonder what causes that. The only time I’ve had customization reset is if I wiped the metadata during a server migration on accident, or decided to clear it intentionally.

The writer claims that plex drives people towards recommendations even after disabling the recommended tab, that’s the part I’m trying to figure out.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
From their blog post about it:
An unauthorized third party accessed a limited subset of customer data from one of our databases. While we quickly contained the incident, information that was accessed included emails, usernames, securely hashed passwords and authentication data. Any account passwords that may have been accessed were securely hashed, in accordance with best practices, meaning they cannot be read by a third party.
The passwords were hashed and, I’m inferring from their language, salted per-user as well. Assuming a reasonable length password (complexity doesn’t matter much here, what we want is entropy) it would take a conventional computer tens to hundreds of millions of years to crack one user’s password.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
They’ve taken other measures as well. Nobody knows the details besides them, but they blocked an entire cloud provider called Hetzner because too many people were using it for pirate Plex servers. They absolutely have to maintain the image of being legitimate.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
Sure, you can disable a lot of features from the home page, but even the remaining bits push you toward Plex’s ecosystem with things like recommendations. And I’ve even seen people complaining about needing to re-disable promotional content after updates. It’s simply a shady business.
If anyone would care to tell me where I’m being pushed towards Plex’s ecosystem I’d love to understand what the flying fuck he’s talkin about. The only thing I could find that could generously be called part of the Plex “ecosystem” are the social features. Also I’ve had a server for 15 years and I’ve never had to re-do my customization from an update.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
seriously. it sucks that plex had to increase their price to $250 but they resisted that increase for like 10 years. nobody is forcing anyone to rent plex lol.

NSFL sometimes stands for “not safe for life” but either is fine with me.

So with things like fish that can change day to day are they required to just update it every day? that sounds nice.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 3 weeks ago:
so i switched myself and my parents to arch linux over the past 3-4 months and I can say definitively that those specs are fine for CachyOS (an Arch Linux distro). My mom is using my hand-me-down 970 with its lovely “we charged you for 4gb of vram but actually only 3.5 of it is fast haha sucker” and it runs great paired to an old i7 6700k
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 3 weeks ago:
I think what we’re seeing is the result of their stock depleting actually. AI has been buying up supply for a while, and I don’t think the consumer markets are able to compete.

I’m always afraid to test ESC during a cutscene because I’ve been burned by games that auto skip cutscenes when you hit ESC. Who does that.
