That's why we should follow the example of the French and do a Revolution every now and then!

As a US SSBN submariner - bring it. Give me one good reason to set 1SQ and let these birds fly. I dare you.

It turns out Google Chrome (via Chromium) includes a default extension which makes extra services available to code running on the *.google.com domains - tweeted about today by Luca Casonato, but the code has been there in the public repo since October 2013 as far as I can tell.

It looks like it's a way to let Google Hangouts (or presumably its modern predecessors) get additional information from the browser, including the current load on the user's CPU. Update: On Hacker News a Googler confirms that the Google Meet "troubleshooting" feature uses this to review CPU utilization

The code doesn't do anything on non-Google domains.

Maybe it's because you tried it on a non Google site? Idk.

Have you tried Linux Mint? That's pretty user-friendly. As long as it's a .deb, you can double-click install through a GUI, no terminal needed. There's an "app store" with most of your standard apps, like Discord, Slack, Teams, Skype or VLC, and it has an office suite pre-installed along with an email client. The first time you start, there's a welcome screen that helps you through setting up the firewall, appearance (you can make it look like XP if you want), backups, NVIDIA drivers, and update manager you can ignore or manually update or automatically update. I don't know your system, but it's pretty intuitive for Windows users (I use a Windows 10 theme). I'd encourage you to give it one more try, if you're still open to it.

So why do locks exist, if society runs on how people should behave? Why do we have a court system, if we assume no crimes will ever be committed? Why do we have laws?

So you're saying to kill both my parents, all my uncles and aunts, my neighbors, my coworkers, my sister's entire extended family, and practically all my cousins? Instead of, maybe, trying to convince them to change their ways?

Be the change you want to see in the world. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

"Oh hell, Son, I was high that day! That doesn't make any sense at all! You can be second, third, fourth, hell you can even be fifth!

You think there's good guys in this story?

Isn't this a bad thing for conservation of the reef?

Nice. It'd be hilarious if they replaced all references to reddit with Lemmy from now on.
