The operative part of what I said being as far as privacy, I believe their changes are mostly just configuration. There very well might be performance improvements (or hell, perhaps the performance gains are simply due to the altered configurations), but the privacy benefits are mostly just configuration changes that you can replicate on any Firefox build or fork.

Technically speaking, I think most (if not all) of what Librewolf and Waterfox do is configuration changes as far as privacy is concerned. These forks just have those changes defaulted.

You could get basically the exact same result by downloading the normal Firefox browser and using the Arkenfox configuration script (or any other configuration script you like) to "harden" your Firefox configuration settings.

The downside would be that for every new browser version release you'd have to double check your configs and maybe reapply the script after it gets updated to handle new "features" Mozilla throws in, while with a separate fork like Librewolf that team should, in theory, be configuring their browser updates to set those new configs automatically for you.

The fact that so many firebenders can now use lightning in Korra is in and of itself bullshit. There were a grand total of 2 (maybe 3) firebenders capable of using lightning in Aang's time because it was so difficult to use and required apparently superhuman levels of focus. It wasn't some new technique that once found could just be taught to everyone, it was a known quantity that was simply nearly impossible to pull off.

Now it's so common an ability that entire swathes of people make 9 to 5 careers out of it. Bullshit.

Sure. But who were they asking and what were they asking for? Biden's aides did not tell Facebook users to shut up, nor did they ask Facebook to tell their users to shut up. That would have been useless.

What they were asking was specifically for the removal and/or shadowbanning of posts and people. That would be what's targeted by this EO.

Your speech rights and your ability to exercise them are not at risk if someone just tells you to shut up.

I doubt it. Being told to shut up neither restricts nor limits your ability to keep responding. Even spamming you back with shut up messages wouldn't do that.

Ironically, you're probably better off importing the whole buffet. Curry hates kebabs, kebabs hate tacos, tacos hate fried chicken, and fried chicken hates every food. Better to have all the appetizers fight with each other rather than just have the single appetizer fight with the entree.

I read these Wikipedia talk pages where editors type verbal diarrhea to each other ad nauseum and I never fucking understand what's going on.

Is there a YouTube video somewhere that goes over all these stupid abbreviations and rules in a humorous way so I don't go cross-eyed trying to read this shit?

Shit. Beauty and the Beta has been my every fucking Monday morning show (I can never actually cstch it on Sunday so I always watch the day after) for what feels like forever now.

Fuck. That's a downer. I actually can't watch Blonde's channel, the interview format bores me to tears in general. Matt's channel I watch religiously but the main draw was always the Sunday show.

I wonder what the justification was. With Yuzu I know there was that issue with some versions being behind a paywall, but I don't think that was the case with Ryujinx.

It's hard to say. It is true that price gouging will, to an extent, be a form of rationing. You'll be more likely to buy only what you need and not as much as you're able. Logically, this makes sense. Further, if you sold it at a lower price and didn't ration the amount per customer, one of those customers would likely just buy out your stock and price gouge with it themselves.

Realistically? I do not trust anyone from another country to put American people's health and safety before their own wallet, especially not a member of a society that is specifically well-known for in-group preference and negative outgroup bias and has a caste system where many, if not all of them, inherently see themselves as "better people" than others. I guarantee you they're not thinking of the intricacies of this situation as much as you might like to think they are.

I looked at the thread on my desktop, and yeah, you're right, not censored. Then I looked at it on my phone browser, and it's not censored there either.

It's only on the scored app. Bizarre. There must be some app setting that automatically filters my own posts? I've got to hunt that down.

Semi-relatedly, I have often wondered what the media reaction would be to a Republican who said, "I'm pro-choice, because imagine how many more nigger Democrats there'd be if it was illegal."

Edit: I don't comment all that often, I was unaware that nigger is automatically censored. Is that sitewide or just here?

It's something to do with certain conditions in their boost code causing the CPU to request extra voltage it doesn't need.

Having seen how much chaos a 0.1 increase in voltage can do while trying to figure out overclocking, I can definitely believe that requesting X% too much voltage constantly would fuck up the CPU quickly.

Because they caught wind of it now. Some idiot on Twitter doesn't know how to keep their fucking mouth shut.

If Nintendo had heard about it a year ago, they'd have DMCA'd it a year ago.

That's a shame, I like Brandon. This is a lot closer than I thought he'd get, and fuck the RINO in there now.

I'd say that if there's any bright side to this the RINO might realize that his constituents hate his guts enough to have almost voted in a YouTuber in his place...but my belief in any amount of shame, self-reflection, or intelligence on the part of politicians was long ago beaten out of me.

I remember they removed headpatting from some FE game.

There's the infamous dialogue changes, e.g. an entire dialogue chain was removed and just filled with "..." between two characters in a support conversation, the "RAWR! That means I love you in dragon!" or some similar fucking nonsense.

That's a very strange statement since the article actually provides the original Japanese and it is not, in fact, the same at all.

The difference being that in a world of superpowers the average man's ability to defend himself is dependent on the whims of fate, mutation, gods, or a disastrous science experiment.

In the world of guns the average man's ability to defend himself is, for now, dependent only on the stock of the local gun store.

One of these is much more likely to be a fair shot than the other.

Never heard of The Void, but now that I look at it, it makes me wonder if a VR Escape Room experience would be successful.

I used to use Brave, now I use Librewulf.

I wish I could be more helpful and tell you why I switched. I remember it was nothing major, just some quibble I had with Brave (and I still primarily try to use search.brave.com over any other search engine), so I don't think you can go wrong with either. But I can't remember the exact reason I had for moving over.
