Additionally, would be nice if they could stop fast start shit from fucking up your network connection on a cold boot, including on desktops, a problem that has now persisted for YEARS.
Is it too much to ask for Windows not to fuck w/ my power settings after every update? When I tell my laptop to shut down, I don't want it to hibernate, or sleep, or fast start, I want it to kill itself.

I still use Firefox and other Mozilla products but I just got this email from Mozilla:
"We’re in the final days to reach our goal of raising $4.35 million USD from the Mozilla community. We’re close, but we’re still short."
I just want to let them know their CEO probably has $4.35 million USD since their salary a few years ago was about $7 million USD. Maybe ask them?
I do feel like, if the USA can't take people off the ISS or put them up there anymore, they should hand the front airlock keys over to someone who can.
I see Steam has removed the link that was previously the only way to locate your screenshots folder, gj idiots. idk why they are so desperate to stop people being able to find the fucking things, or why so many aspects of their interface remain so inexplicably terrible after all these years.

“In 1764 [Benjamin] Franklin wrote to a doctor [on the topic of tending to poor patients]: '’Half the Lives you save are not worth saving, as being useless; and almost the other Half ought not to be sav'd, as being mischievous. Does your Conscience never hint to you the Impiety of being in constant Warfare against the Plans of Providence?’
A general conclusion is indicated. The eugenic temptation runs deep in the liberal tradition.”

I'm so pleased GG is back https://youtu.be/Dms8xrs5nZ8?si=0m8T8PPYyIhvnt5P
Refunding Stalker 2 because, as yet, haven't managed to successfully launch it. Each time I click on it, it wants an hour to download a 120GB patch, then sets about compiling shaders until the heat death of the universe. When they figure out how to make the game launch in less time than it took to develop, I'll give it another look.
Do you want to see a German dude turn a broken bluray player into a scanning laser microscope? I can't possibly imagine you don't. https://youtu.be/liGuhbFh4IQ?si=V-gaRvzg3c7Xedne

Btw Pantheon is finally out on Netflix. I think it’s one of the best animated series / best sci-fi series (animated and not). It revolves around the concept of ‘UI’ (uploaded intelligence) which feels like a parallel to AI. The themes it takes on are super smart. Very compelling. We binged it when it first came out and it’s now more widely available.
I just want a Boolean search engine that returns zero results for my query, instead of going 'oh, I recognise one of those words, here's an avalanche of irrelevant shit for you to sift through.'
Downloaded the Broken Arrow playtest, launched it, it instantly crashed. Consider my expectations tempered.
Okay, this is the monitor I have been waiting for. When and how much? https://www.acer.com/us-en/monitors/spatiallabs/acer-spatiallabs-view-pro-27
For a while back there, Roy Scheider really did look like Sly. It's the eyes.
someone really needs to make a browser extension that does a better job of highlighting *where* on a busy page the term you've ctrl+F'd for actually is.
