As someone who just turned 35 last week, thanks for this.

Does one count as a nonprofit if their company is losing money? :v

My favorite riff on these is when the poster is headed to an interview but saves a dog along the way, and the dog turns out to be the interviewer.

It's a Hindu/Buddhist swastika, which is still widely used by adherents of said religions.

> So you say your current position is to be rather carefully around anything by/from Google, but you trust Internet randos to build the binary of the browser you use?

How did you come to this conclusion when they stated that they'd rather use Firefox? Or are you saying Mozilla are the internet randos?

This is a good tip but unfortunately I'm on Windows on one computer and Fedora on the other.

I've been looking for a simple way to be able to listen to audio from my desktop and laptop simultaneously without requiring a hardware mixer or something. I'm currently using Scream but there is a bit of latency/delay.

Farplay seems to be more for audio recording, but would Farplay be a good solution for my use case?

> Edge has built in support for vertical tabs, tab groups, and chrome extensions.

IMO Vivaldi's implementations of vertical tabs and tab groups is superior, but Edge is definitely a close second.

100% in agreement with you. I liked the idea of Manjaro but the way they deployed Nvidia driver updates made it feel like absolute luck of the draw whether you'd have a login screen waiting for you after rebooting post-update. I've had more Nvidia driver issues on Manjaro in a year than I've had in the past decade+ on Ubuntu or any other distro.

Switched to Fedora a week ago which I like a lot so far, but I still very much miss the AUR.

I'd feel deeply uncomfortable backing up 80tb of data to a $60/year plan, tbh.

I like Vivaldi but the issue is that you're still locking yourself into Chromium's Blink rendering engine which just serves to strengthen Google's push to be the de-facto standards enforcer of the web.

I'm not quite sure scripted dialogue in a fictional TV show about murderous superheroes is the correct comparison for Mozilla putting ads in search results...
