Recovering skooma addict.
Get yourself a good nicotine vape rig. The kind that has a big tank so it’ll last all day and you can use whichever flavoured vape liquid you like best. Switch to that 100% of the time, right away, no exceptions. Don’t worry about how to quit vaping until you’ve gone without smoking for at least a few months.
It’ll be hard, but not nearly as bad as it is if you try to quit both smoking and nicotine at the same time.
Nonsense. Everyone knows that atomic power was given by the mighty hand of God.
I don’t think that kind of anti-labour attitude is likely to be prevalent among people who play daily NYT word games. A more mainstream response is probably more like “whatever, nerds.”
I’ve just switched my GPU mortgage to interest-only. Saves money in the long run, probably.
Having apps that do what users want but try to hide it from reviewers really highlights the absurdity of letting Apple decide what software you’re allowed to run.
The Featured Snippet quoted an article from the Mayo Clinic, highlighting the words “Caffeine may cause a short, but dramatic increase in your blood pressure.” But when she looked up “no link between coffee and hypertension”, the Featured Snippet cited a contradictory line from the very same Mayo Clinic article: “Caffeine doesn’t have a long-term effect on blood pressure and is not linked with a higher risk of high blood pressure”.
On the one hand, Google sucks. On the other hand, if people are unable to a) understand how those two snippets are not contradictory, and b) read at least one very short simplified-for-laymen Mayo Clinic article about the topic before thinking they’ve learned anything at all about medicine, it’s hard to see the problem as being primarily due to Google. There is something deeper, and worse, going wrong when people habitually take that kind of extreme shortcut to thinking that they know the right answer about almost anything, and it has little to do with whether any one-sentence snippets they’re given are biased or accurate.
Just think of all the juicy benefits of replacing journalists with machines. They’ll never stumble or cough while presenting the news, they’ll never call in sick, never age, never get mad as hell and decide to not take it any more, never resign from the editorial board in protest no matter what garbage you tell them is the news. Machines are just better suited to the job, it’s inevitable.
Iceraven is one alternative worth considering.
It’s probably related to this: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/merge_requests/63
F-droid Fennec had build problems lately due to google removing big dependencies from its android package repo or whatever, so it’s well out of date for now. The latest version there has at least that one well-known security problem that was in the news a few weeks ago. I don’t know why you’re getting notified about it now, I have it installed and didn’t see that. But if you’re risk-averse then you probably shouldn’t currently be using it to visit websites that might be malicious.
Recent comments over there suggest that progress is being made at last.
Believing people who say that sort of thing about the meaning of perfectly cromulent words like “fish”, “bird”, and “berry” is like going to the butcher shop to learn about horsemanship.
GPU has fallen off the bus.
If you’re lucky, it’s an nvidia driver problem. If you’re not, it’s a hardware problem.
One time, I accidentally said “pngtuber” in conversation with an elderly person. I decided to flee in embarrassment rather than try to explain what it meant.

Well, he’s not wrong that it’s “super hard” to see any benefit of Denuvo for anyone other than the beneficial owners of Denuvo Software Solutions. Gamers might have a better than average ability to suspend disbelief, but that “new study” was pushing it a bit far.
Your particular complaints are better addressed to almighty God I suppose. So long as you don’t blame linux kernel devs for them it’s all the same to me.
Address your complaints to the government of the USA. Or, if you have the right to do so, cast a vote in the upcoming election there to prevent it taking a big step in the opposite direction from a world in which it might consider anything like similar sanctions against Israel.
You may be amazed to learn that there aren’t many international sanctions against the USA at this time, but I imagine you could probably get into legal trouble for collaborating with Americans if you’re in, I don’t know, North Korea maybe.
We need to overcome those obstacles, otherwise we’ll get so soft and stupid and distracted by nonsense that we willingly opt for fascism.
