It's actually the best food ever made

I wonder if/hope they will release a 16 GB model like the A770. I got one of those on ebay for $180 on a lark and it's really not bad. I put it in a dedicated media/gaming PC connected to my TV.

Wow, I'll be switching from Firefox to Task Manager!

I don't think they're pretending. Open source software is a valuable resource for basically all major tech companies, and a lot of it is driven by major tech companies. Some kind of combination of open source and proprietary software will always be a thing for them. This isn't some major contradiction, they use either model based on the specific needs of the project.

This is why some think "Open Source" is too permissive since they see it as free/cheap labor to be exploited by huge corporations.

I'm not sure that I see it that way, but I can see their point.

I'm a good enough software engineer that this isn't true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎

(The above statement is not a truthful statement.)

You can both relax! I checked each word and neither of you misspelled anything.

The MS-DOS version of this game was actually not winnable without cheats because the jumping physics changed and they didn't update the level layouts for that.

You may know this, but Firefox does support multiple profiles. I regularly open it with firefox -p "PROFILENAME" depending on whether I'm working or not. you can go to about:profiles to manage the different profiles.

I've worked in "secure" environments for the US military and yeah, open access to the internet while you're on the job is absurd to expect

But unless something changes dramatically, it’ll suffer the same fate as Mastodon or Bluesky.

I have no idea what's going on with Bluesky, but mastodon is... fine? It's not twitter and never will be.

This doesn't mean Lemmy doesn't need a bit of work, though, I don't think anyone would deny that. I don't think they've had quite the pressure to triage issues like they do now, so a decent list of priorities is probably emerging.

I'm tempted to try to help, but I'm (generously) a rust novice. I worry I'll waste their time with bad PRs.
