She puts on a good show … does her promos … then lambastes Californians because they didn’t put out the fire with ocean water. Anyone who said ‘Well, duh’ to that belongs in her club … the ‘if I can talk really fast I must be smart’ club.
Imperialism is different than taking the land outright.
Agreed. But a threat can be the beginning of a negotiation. Historically, the US wants the appearance of sovereignty to remain - even democracy if possible - just keep the right people in power.
That didn’t save South America.
Turn the playback speed down to 0.75 and you won’t need to drink more coffee first.
Ha! Funny even if partly true. Too bad he didn’t sue their asses!
First of all, the meagre ‘search’ in ‘Manage Bookmarks’ does not tell you where a ‘found’ bookmark IS, which makes it next to useless. (If ONLY it would tell you that in the list you see when you click the URL.)
Over the years (on DESKTOP, I can only guess the horrors on tinyscreen) I’ve developed a system of folders with generic names that I use to sort BMs as I add them. My 3 top categories - the only ones visible in the ‘Toolbar’ are OFTEN (frequently visited sites grouped by folder), RESOURCES (folders at the top are most-visited) and LOCAL (most-visited on top). I also use the ‘New bookmark order’ extension, which adds new bookmarks to THE TOP of whatever folder I put them in (easy to open and drag-into folder topic).
Works, but it’s hardly ideal, that’s for sure. Don’t think anyone at Moz has addressed this design in years.)
Practically speaking, probably not.
After many years of using FFox, I just tried a Zen install on Linux. It did not turn out as well as I hoped.
I did not have FFoxesr installed in the way the OS would have installed it (though it was still in the user folder). This meant that Zen did/could not see my bookmarks, extensions or passwords … and the options it offered didn’t work out. (It wanted an HTML bookmarks file … I had them saved as JSON … and a ‘CSV’ (??) passwords file … wherever that is … and it found no extensions folder.) So, for starters, years of customizations had to be manually restored.
But, fair shake, I did manually re-install bookmarks AND a few extensions that had saved databases (e.g. UBO, NoScript, Block site). (It ignored the sub-folders in the JSON bookmarks folders, dumping all bookmarks into the top-levels.) And I had to re-create all the settings. (Most of which exist in the .mozilla folder on Linux … easy to find.)
I played for an hour with what I put there (without a menu bar … or a tab bar, all URIs are shoved together -by name- in a sidebar … I did figure out how to see a bookmark bar). I could discern no -truly useful- advantages to it. None. That was not offset by some pretty cosmetics. So even if you do get all of your customizations past the one-size-fits-all install, for long-time FF users I see no substantial advantages to the Zen browser.
No cavalry … and no calvary either … is going to ride over the hilltop and save us. We can only keep healthy, keep learning and keep doing the best we can for each other. Yeah, it matters today. And it’s always today.
THANKS for alerting me to another source of XKCD madness!
All pets were at one time wildlife. Killing one to save it… wow.
One thing that seems to be missing from most Zen promotion is that Firefox has a huge collection of add-on options/extentions. Hard to beat of you’re reliant on several of them. Keeps me from even trying it.
Thanks for reminding me of a great film I saw in theatres long ago… I was at a con once and heard Barry (spouse and I both liked ‘Enemy’) and bought his Workshop book … good to see he’s still kicking …
and thanks too for hooking me up with Feral Historian’s stuff (like his style) which I might never have found otherwise…
Wow. I can’t believe it took me so long to learn about that. And no tour needed. Interesting, thanks!
Go ahead and send me ads, and I’ll just block your site … never go there except when someone tries to trick me into it, and then my SITE-BLOCKER will refuse for me. Our now and future business IS OVER.
“But why don’t you just trust us?” Because I’ve been online for 30 years and it’s been downhill ever since.
Wow. It was only after reading comments on this post until that I remembered WHY I was more than happy to leave Reddit behind. Too bad so many of these diseased children moved over here.
It took just one comment: ’ What is “4000ac”? ’ to start the drool-fest.
Got a neuralink? One word you never wanna hear: ‘Oops!’
Yeah! Did that once, many years back. took a couple weeks. Used a ripper program that went out on the net and got all the metadata, saved to a HD (now on the third one). Put the CDs in Logic cases (no-wear), recycled the jewelboxes.
Over time, started to drop album folders into VLC, save the playlists, at ur fingertips.
The year of the four linux desktops, I hope! (I have 3, but two need to go to the landfill).
Water scouring the surface? Or was it thousands years of wind-blown sand / dust? Dunes have ripples.
There is no water on Mars (not to be confused with liquid CO2) until somebody goes there and drinks some. Anything else is hoping for water to justify the $100billion price tag.
