I do like Björk but I’m not sure how much weight to give her opinions about international politics.

Microsoft and GNOME don’t seem like great examples to imitate when it comes to UI, but whatever, I can change the default.

So that’s fine, unless they hide it in about:config somewhere, wait a year or two, find out from telemetry that not many users ever discover it, and then remove it completely because they still think that having fewer options is better. If they do that yet again, with this feature in particular, and if the librewolf people don’t fix it, I might just give up web browsers and go back to using telnet to port 80.

The universe started out good, and then it took billions of years for large enough stars to form that their collapse could create supernovae capable of reaching the energies needed to synthesize evil particles.

I don’t actually know anything about it, was just going on vague memories of stuff I read on a some blog post years ago. Although “since Morrowind” is a long way from the beginning. I hope they’re all having a great time doing that tinkering.

Is there a word for the system of government where a country is ruled by American oil companies? … oh yeah, that’s it, “colonialism.” Well, maybe it will work out better this time, with such enlightened and competent American leadership to organize it.

What’s a media zombie? Someone who watches 7 hours of tiktok every day?

Good luck with your transition from porn bot to outrage bot.

It’s obviously the right idea, Cory’s been saying it to anyone who will listen for months if not years, but it would depend on governments doing something. How can it possibly happen then, if there aren’t powerful corporate interests hiring lobbyists to say it in a way that politicians can hear?

Add that to the photo album next to the one from 2025

So, higher oil prices then. Perhaps it will also make Mark Carney pause for a moment and try to get a little more in return before he inevitably gives in to US demands to buy their fighter jets.

Given the unreasonably large amount of money that Skyrim brought in I guess Todd is planning something really expensive and large-scale. These things do take time, and they’ve been busy doing other things. The disaster that was Fallout 76 for example wasn’t anywhere near finished until well after its official release date, and then Starfield was just a couple of years ago. Maybe they can learn from the past?

Unfortunately I think the odds are against TES6 being as good as we’d hope for. Even before the acquisition, most of the people who made The Elder Scrolls what it was have long since left the company. But you never know, I guess. Maybe we’ll get super lucky and it will turn out like Skyrim: Huge potential, fundamentally flawed but fixable by modders.

Can somebody please explain why Donald Trump is trying so hard to make the whole world hate the USA?

I’m not a very good swimmer… which one looks more buoyant?

They should never have stopped giving everyone the ELIZA vaccine in grade 10 computer class.

Doug Ford says it will “boost the economy.” More commuting = more gasoline sales = more economy, I guess.

Rising costs for “cloud” infrastructure were beginning to tip the balance back towards favouring owning your own web servers I think — AWS is stupidly expensive now. But once the bubble bursts I guess all the new excess datacentre capacity that’s already being rapidly built will put a stop to that. Governments adding to that problem seems unnecessary.

We’ve lost the whole cloud

There’s your problem, Europe. You’re looking in the wrong place. The Internet isn’t in the clouds, it’s down here on earth.

Most notable word that hasn’t changed much for 1500 years: “chicken”

“It’s hard to see as an economist how taking money away from the big grocers will then also lead to lower prices.”

Is it really, though? Finding some way to re-introduce to this market what we used to know as “competition” — which was once much beloved of economists — would do exactly that. But I guess that idea is too far-fetched to even come into the discussion. I only wonder how far this code of conduct goes in the opposite direction. The ruling cartel will continue to have its way.
