It’s likely you won’t find a rock this big when digging a basement, but as we can see here, it’s not something you can safely take for granite.

The new dabbing.

Back in 2000, Time-Warner decided to purchase AOL. AOL had spent the last 5 years bleeding (dial-up) customers to their main competitors… anything that wasn’t dial-up.

Time-Warner hailed the “merger” as the Deal of the Century.

Later, Time-Warner admitted, “We didn’t realize that all those customers we thought we had purchased could simply leave.”

Hope they like it unwashed. Ain’t gonna be no showers in WWIII.

Didn’t you hear about that about that wind turbine that exploded and spread wind all over a dozen farmer’s fields? /s

Got a message saying I was banned from a sub I wasn’t even subscribed to and hadn’t posted to. I replied to the message telling them to get stuffed. They reported me and got me banned from Reddit for 3 days.

So instead, I banned Reddit and haven’t looked back. F-'em.

Agreed. Want to add that (in my opinion, at least) Lucas’s Episodes I, II & III didn’t do the series any favors either. :-(

AI has failed so many times it has joined the junkpile of online personalities that are so bad we can no longer tell the difference between their actual errors and those created as sarcasm.
The Dead Sarcasm Cult.

I suspect it has something to do with all the neck biting.

Thanks, but I tried a few weeks back to get tab groups working for Firefox on MacOS. No joy.

Firefox add-on for Tab Groups? I looked and couldn’t find one. At some point they appeared to try to support tab groups, but gave up? I dunno. I’ve only used Chrome a little. I don’t personally care for Chrome, but I found the tab groups useful.

For YouTube on IOS, I use Brave. It does a decent (but not perfect) job of hiding ads on YT.

Mouse gestures is the killer-app for me on Firefox. Hate surfing without it.

P.S. Do wish Firefox had tab groups tho.

Big endiant is great for intellisense to quickly browse possibilities, since it groups it all in the same place.

If only someone would train a program… we could call it a Large Language Model… to knowingly group the names together so we wouldn’t have to choose between human-readable format or dB format.

Guess that will never happen because instead we’re stuck using “AI’s” to inflate stock prices instead. /s

I remember seeing a proposed language that would allow each programmer to choose what name to use for each item. Don’t like ‘open_file’? Choose to see it as ‘file_open’ every time you review the file in the future.

While we battle with each other endlessly, we keep forgetting that the computer doesn’t care.

This was pre-PnP (also pre-JPEG!), so you had to know all the addresses, IRQs, DMA info, etc, of your hardware

Thanks for that flashback. <shiver>

The US military, the largest “pro-gun” group in the world has lots of “private cities”. Wonder what their position on firearms in their “cities” is?

Are you saying societal asymmetry is a social problem, not a technical one?
