Those machines should be airgapped and no need to run Crowdstrike on them. If the process controller machines of a steel mill are connected to the internet and installing auto updates then there really is no hope for this world.

no it was released in 128.0

With performance optimizations seemingly having lost their relevance in an era of ever-increasing hardware performance

What a ridiculous assertion.

You need to read The Register: https://search.theregister.com/?q=bofh

Ultimately, we’d like to incorporate as a worker-owned cooperative.

Since forming, we’ve written a code of conduct and established some barebones internal moderation procedures

If you are serious about this, my advice to you:

• Get a legal advisor in your jurisdiction who can help you draw up a company constitution that describes how your cooperative works, your organisational structure and how profit sharing is structured, and register the company.
• Consider how workers will be compensated before you have any revenue. Are you going to look for private funding? How will equity be split between investors and worker shares?
• If you aren’t taking private funding, are you expecting members to work for free up until you start to turn a profit?

If you are still going to look for collaborators before registering the company with a written constitution, make it clear whether those collaborators will have equal rights as co-founders along with you and your existing members. Any ambiguity here is likely to cause serious problems down the road which could completely tank the effort (i.e. lawsuits). This is why I would advise you to start with a registered company constitution right off the bat.

If you’re more inclined to work as a loose anarchist collective without a formally defined organisational structure, you need to lead with that. Don’t describe the project as aspiring to be a worker-owned coop. The best way to do this is to create an open source project and allow open contributions. However, if you want to keep your work closed and proprietary then you need to realize that as soon as you create something that has value, you will need to have an agreed way to share ownership of that value. This will require either a registered company or some kind of foundation.

Because they don’t want to scare advertisers.

This tells you everything you need to know. If Firefox was acting in the interests of users then they wouldn’t give a fuck what advertisers think.

Firefox is not pandering to advertisers. If anything, I feel they are compromising with them

I don’t want to compromise with advertisers. I want to block them and not be tracked by them.

So where is my choice as the user of the browser that is running on my machine and using my internet connection and tracking my data?

But if it’s successful, it’ll rock for us.

If you think this will make one iota of difference in advertiser behavior then you must have been born yesterday.

Isn’t AdBlock Plus the one that takes money from advertisers to have their ads whitelisted by the ad-blocker?

Fuck this guy.

At first I thought this guy was speaking on behalf of Mozilla, but he doesn’t work for Mozilla.

He works for the US government.

The point is that this is not something that users want, it’s something that advertisers want. Why is Firefox pandering to advertisers and corporate interests? No user wants this, and Firefox is supposed to be a non-commercial browser built with the interests of its users in mind.

• 218/250 were fully playable at good framerates (60+). He notes that the more popular a game is the more likely it is to work flawlessly.

• Of the remaining 32 games that had problems, 12 of them defaulted to the iGPU on the CPU instead of using the Intel dGPU. He had to disable the iGPU in Device Manager to get them to use the dGPU. 11 of those 12 worked flawlessly after making this change.

• 5 games crashed on launch (Avatar: FOP, Batman Arkham Knight, Sim City 4, Left 4 Dead 2, Saints Row 2)

• 6 games ran but with graphical artifacts (Bioshock, Dirt Rally, Ghost of Tsushima, Starfield, GTA4, The Witcher 3)

• 11 games ran but with poor performance (Starfield, Alan Wake 2, TLOU1, Hellblade 2, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Yakuza Like a Dragon, Metro: Last Light, +4 more not specified).

• He also had problems running with multiple monitors.

• Older games seem to mostly run fine, newer games seem to be the ones more likely to have problems.

the team found that time on the moon ticks by at 0.0000575 seconds faster per day (57.50 µs/d) than it does on Earth. Based on that number, other calculations can be made—if a person were to live on the moon for 274 years, for example, they would be 5.76 seconds older than they would be had they lived on Earth all that time.

The FM tuner is a narrow band pass filter centered at the carrier frequency - it doesn’t try to track the modulation. The FM demodulator then uses a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) with a phase detector in a feedback loop, so that the output of the VCO tracks the modulated input signal. The input to the VCO then represents the baseband (demodulated) signal.

Now do a study of the link between social media use and life dissatisfaction.

Progressive governments made the normal people’s lives hard - forcing political correctness, ignoring illegal immigration and the issues caused by it, allowing petty crime go unpunished and so on. People are just tired literally fighting for their lives

Ah yes, all those people literally fighting not to die from political correctness.

I don’t know much about .NET but this looks like it could be a compatibility problem with the version of the .NET runtime that you have installed. Try downloading the latest version of .NET runtime from microsoft’s website and see if that fixes it.

No, “we” don’t.
