Have I got a pleasant surprise for you: Zen Browser is to Firefox what Vivaldi is to Chromium: a feature-rich powerhouse.
Apparently this update has significantly increased the time for my desktop to load and show. I see the a black screen with the KDE logo for approximately 10 seconds. Before, this time was negligible. It occurs on all my systems.
Edit: nevermind, today’s update fixed it.

That’s all my step 🦥
Fortunately I completely disagree.
“Imagine going back to the year 1600. Even then, Western Europe was one of the more educated parts of the planet, but back then about 20% of the population could read and write. And I suspect if you went back there and you asked someone who was capable of reading and writing—say a member of the clergy—and you said: “What percentage of the population is even capable of it?” They might have said: “If you have an incredible education system, maybe 50%.” You fast-forward 400 years to today, and we know that that prediction would have been wildly pessimistic; that nearly 100% of the population can be literate. But what similar blinders we have on today? If I were to ask you: “What percentage of the population is capable of understanding quantum physics? Or what percentage of the population is capable of contributing to medical research?” You might say maybe 5 or 10%, or with a really good education system maybe 15 or 20%. But what if the answer is a 100%? What could that mean for the rate at which human society could progress? What would that mean for the human condition? But that is just one aspect of the types of blinders we have on today, that in 400 years will hopefully seem silly.” —Salman Khan, Harvard Class Day 2014
I work at a meteorological institute in Europe and we also get phonecalls from angry imbeciles insulting the meteorologists.
My passion for science and curiosity peaked when I got the job. Now I realise everything is a pipe dream if we do not revolutionise education into something that makes more decent philosophers of us all.
Golden Sun.
The most memorable RPG I’ve ever played. The music and art style, beautiful. Especially considering it’s a Gameboy Advance game.
And I just installed uBOL on a couple of company employee laptops expecting it to be future-proof. Should’ve stuck with uBO.
