I mean, if you could donate directly to Firefox development and not for "anything Mozilla wants to waste it on that day", maybe the donations would go up.

How would more than one account help in this scenario, exactly?

People swear btrfs is "safe" now, but I've personally been bitten by data corruption more than once, so I stay away from it now.

I wouldn't want my start menu to load the entire Java runtime before opening, that's the issue at hand.

Thanks for adding nothing at all to the conversation.

The FSF seems toothless when it comes to actually enforcing anything regarding license violations.

Well, if it doesn't find anything it's just a waste of time at best.

Only if you twist the definition of politics so much it becomes a pretzel, but sure.

New comment by jamesnorden in "Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act"

Technically because citizens are also allowed to lobby, but in practice only corporations get to play, so it becomes "legal bribing".

New comment by jamesnorden in "The beauty and terror of modding Windows"

jamesnorden — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 12:20:01 +0000

It's so dumb that with Windows you need so many software just to undo Microsoft's "innovations" and make it somewhat usable. I finally switched all of my personal Machines over to Linux a few months back, since I felt the gaming situation was finally good enough, and I'm never looking back.

New comment by jamesnorden in "Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable"

jamesnorden — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 11:31:58 +0000

>This whole thing feels like a subversion, instead of having graphene independent from devices and widen the attack vector, now the spooks can just focus on the “supported official device” only.

Graphene is currently only supported on Pixels, so not sure what you mean by that.

>motorola is a US company

Motorola is owned by Lenovo, a Chinese company.

I hope this is sarcasm. A permaban as the first action is never a good idea.
