…Yes, I don’t believe that Mozilla will kill itself over that or potentially have someone commit felonies to leak info abt government surveillance and subpoenas. But FF is open source so anyone would see a backdoor or notice versions not matching. For user data FF Sync is, afaik, encrypted in a way that Mozilla can’t access.

The devs can just put their extension on GitHub or host it on their own website. Issue is just visibility.

All the layoffs were inevitable with the extremely obvious bubble in any computer related jobs. Same as dotcom bubble with a bunch of superfluous hires for superfluous tasks and ridiculous budgets that were not going to pan out. So yes now we’ll have tons of unemployed programmers and art departments from companies overhiring for at least a decade.

I had the opposite issue where I’ve tried to use other mice but they have all had some noticeable acceleration while the G502 hasn’t. I have no idea if you prefer hi or low sens. but turning the DPI way up and computer mouse sens. way low helps.

  1. find a pirate station with a high value smuggling mission
  2. keep accepting and canceling mission, filling inventory with the smuggling good
  3. warp home to a base with a place to sell

makes tens of millions in like half an hour with almost no setup. Just need a base with a warp and a trading post. Haven’t played in a bit so maybe patched out but it wasn’t in the major update prior to this one.

What is good about the service that is in any way similar to Linux, is my question. The two seem explicitly opposed in my eyes besides that Steam is using and therefore contributing to some Linux related projects.

It seems akin to supporting Microsoft for their implementation of WSL. MS also makes good some good products. They also have contributed. They are still anti-thetical to what I thought most Linux users want out of a company. Steam still seems anti-thetical to what I thought most Linux users wanted out of software.

I’m genuinely curious about why someone would use/support Linux and then use/support Steam, and how people manage to conflate the two. I’ve already posted other paragraphs in other places complaining about Steam over the course of years so I’m alr.

Yeah this is my main point, I feel the same way when people are trying to run other proprietary software. I understand just being very particular about workflow, big part of the reason I use any given Linux distro, but moving to Linux to then go through the hoops of running MS Office, which even in the best case scenario will be another app that is not easy to update, has always seemed silly to me.
