Yeah, web browsers cost hundreds of millions per year to maintain, they’re mind-bogglingly complicated and costly.
I’d really hope the Linux Foundation would help contribute towards the budget, but LF is quite pro Chromium.
I don’t think end users can even come close to funding Firefox development, unfortunately.
Also their initiative to recognise images and generate alt-text for screen-reader users.
My sister is blind and screen readers are close to useless on the web, so it was great to hear Mozilla is working on that.
But we are becoming more self reliant, and we are collaborating with non-US countries more.
You know why Klingons were so hairy up till disco? Because wigs were cheaper and look better on camera than full body prosthetics did.
That is complete bullshit. Klingons were never designed to be reptilian. There have been reptilian races shown in Trek long before DIS.
Klingon design settled on how they look throughout the 80s, 90s, and 2000s because that’s what they wanted them to look like. They’re a hairy, mammalian species.
But now they have a lot better prosthetic technology so let’s reinterpret the designs for this new show.
You can reinterpret without throwing away everything and making a clearly entirely different species. Like going from mammals to reptilians. And again don’t try to bullshit is into thinking making a reptilian species was impossible until 2017.
But then we get to your last paragraph and you completely lose me. How you made that jump from what I said is just, bravo
That’s exactly what you said. Your mental gymnastics is insane.
Again, people who can’t understand that stories produced in live action actually have to exist in reality and make choices for practical and not just creative reasons are absolutely insufferable.
Jfc, there’s an insufferable person here and it’s certainly not me. You are the one who doesn’t understand.
Stop with this stupidity and mental gymnastics. It’s not impossible to make Klingons mammalian, because we’ve already done it for decades, and we again do it now.
Why are you lying by saying that the change was done for a “practical” reasons and that mammalian costume design “doesn’t exist in reality”?
You can change costumes and makeup without completely changing unnecessary parts.
Klingons went from being established as clearly mammalian and very hairy to a completely different reptilian-in-appearance species (also with an entirely different culture but let’s ignore that), then back to mammalian.
They also made significant changes to Andorians. The hair, facial structure, skin tones, and antennae changed, but they were still clearly Andorians, so nobody cared. If they made them red with yellow hair and a rhino horn instead of antennae then it would be rightly ridiculed.
The assertion that if you’re against what early DIS did to Klingons then you’re a racist who wants Asian caricatures is absolutely insane. What are you smoking?
Seems like an interesting way to get people to slow down (people will want to time the melody not just hear a sudden clash of notes), but it’s a bit irritating to see an AI-generated article being posted here.
It’s frustrating to read this. Repetitive and verbose, like a student trying to pad out their homework to meet a word count.
Starmer seems to have done an alright job in getting closer to Europe, and European leaders seem more warm to him than our previous few leaders (to put it lightly).
I just wish he’d been a bit bolder and not ruled out things like rejoining the Customs Union during campaigning. I get why it was done, the press would’ve called him undemocratic and other such nonsense, but in case Kier hasn’t noticed, the press doesn’t like him anyway, so don’t pander to them!
I seriously hope Labour drop the “No rejoining the EU or CU” pledge for next election. It’s only doing us harm.
As for the patting Trump on the head and offering state visits thing… Meh. I don’t like seeing it either, but if gestures like that help avoid Trump having a hissy fit and economically destroying the UK, then I’m all for taking the pragmatic approach. If the choice is ever between the US and Europe, though, the choice is obvious 🇪🇺.
It’s hard to avoid spillage on yourself throwing overhead, so it’s best to throw from your side
And for the love of god don’t throw it overhead
It isn’t an OLED screen. It’s an E-ink one. I don’t know where you got this idea that it’s an OLED from.
It absolutely bewilders me.
If I had anything approaching her levels of wealth, I’d be on a beach sipping cocktails, going rock climbing, getting railed by goth girls, or trying all kinds of new hobbies that the normal person wouldn’t have the time or resources to try.
She spends her time doing this, and sitting on twitter trying to get retweets from people with swastikas in their profile pictures.
Time is the one thing that’s finite for her, and she’s choosing to spend it on this bullshit. I can’t wrap my head around it.
TVs generally don’t come with unlocked bootloaders. That shit is locked down big time.
That would certainly be ideal, although there’s great difficulty in finding 50"+ monitors, and they cost a huge amount more
Sad people buy more to try to make themselves happy. Retail therapy.
People who serve ads have a vested interest in knowing when you’re unhappy and what makes you unhappy, so they can capitalise on it.
Jaguar Land Rover may be owned by Tata, an Indian financial holding company, but they’re still based in the UK, designed in the UK, built in the UK.
That was broadly the same for Mini too until the most recent generation, where the EV version is actually a Chinese car.
It’s nothing like that at all.
A keyboard is not a piano. Nobody can reasonably expect it to be a piano.
You’re talking about a very different situation to the one I am talking about. I never advocated for companies buying up exclusivity deals, particularly not when the development was done by publicly-owned institutions. I’m not sure where you got that from, because it sure as shit wasn’t from anything I wrote.
I agree it’s the world we should live in. But it’s not exactly realistic. And I’d rather discuss ways we can make our lives materially better as opposed to self-flagellation over a perfect solution while mocking anybody who proposes an imperfect but better-than-status-quo solution.
There is so many people letting perfect be the enemy of good on Lemmy.
Charge parents with neglect if they should have been expected to notice and respond to problems. That should be a jailable offense.
Great, send everyone to jail. Overcrowd prisons and put children into care. All because a parent let their child on social media…
I’m more saying the age limit is clumsy here
It isn’t. We have age limits for all kinds of things. How should this be any different?
Social media is completely different though, since parents are in direct control of the devices their kids have access to at home, and what’s available on their home network. Parents have the power to handle this themselves, so they should be expected to do so.
Parents can also control whether children buy alcohol, yet we still have restrictions on children.
Bloody hell, this is a damn documentary.
