When does a professional come into play? You assumed you're deficient, you asked chatgpt, and now you're asking for anecdotes from HN. Go get some blood work done and talk to a professional who actually knows about these things.

> I personally tend to get cautious when there is a proposal that x will solve the problem that occurred on y date, especially 3 days after the failure.

Microsoft has been working on eBPF for a few years at least.

If you're really concerned, they have discussions and communication channels where you're invited to air your concerns. They're listed on their github:

Who knows, maybe they already have answers to your concerns. If not, they can address them there.

It's been a minute since I've used Librewolf so maybe things changed, but I remember that not being able to sync between devices was the biggest difference. There wasn't an account login option in LW, but there is in Waterfox.

Other than that, I dont remember any real differences. Waterfox has been fine for me because of the sync, but if you don't need account syncing, LW is fine.

It seems I'm wrong, but I always thought it was a given that a company's main goal is to make money, so the mission statement is used to define how that's going to be done. (Whether they follow it or not is a different can of worms.)

New comment by ohmyiv in "McDonald's Discontinued Its Salad Offerings in America – Due to Lack of Demand"

ohmyiv — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 23:51:47 +0000

McDs customers mostly know what they want: _cheap_ burgers, fries, and sodas. If one wanted healthy food, they'd go elsewhere. In the area I live in, very few want a salad from McDs, they instead go to sweetgreen, tender greens, moonbowls or any # of salad specialty shops around here. If one wants a good juicy burger, they go elsewhere also. L.A. is not short on great burger and salad joints.

For many people, McDs will never be equated with healthy food no matter what they try. That ship sailed a long time ago.

It's a different cut and generally cheaper (ymmv depending on the store). Tri tip is generally more expensive. It's a sirloin cut forward of the bottom round.

I asked for better sources not more vague gossip articles. Did you even read them?

The only better source would be from the "married" couple. But you can't get that so internet confirmation it is for you. Sad. Not even a good "sleuth". No wonder you avoid the privacy aspect.

You know what would have avoided all this? Minding your own business.

Have you checked out older and/or discontinued stocks of name brands like dell or HP? I've seen those for $50-$100 on Amazon and ebay. I remember seeing an older 2021 dell (or possibly hp) touchscreen 2 in 1 for like $80 or so (I think it was on amazon). Might be worth it more than a random brand.

Amazon has a ton of cheap laptops w/10-12" screens priced around $250 or less, including some touchscreens and older big brand manufacturer models. There's a few that are $100 or less. I'm definitely not vouching for the quality or usefulness though.

Serious answer is: emailing the admins/mods will get you a better response than a bunch of us guessing.:

Do you have another source instead of this vague article about a vague video of someone claiming stuff?

> Nitpick (or is it?)

We're all nitpicking no matter what our thoughts are on the design. I have my own thoughts on the design, but I'm more excited about the product than to put any more care in what the website looks like. It's easy enough to ignore and doesn't have an effect on the product.

Those aren't conflicting statements.

It started off as a project made solely for SerenityOS (as in no relation to other OSes). Now they switched and have been working on Linux/MacOS/Unix versions. The development thing is that they're not ready yet for any release.
