Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a try!

Sadly not, I’d also be interested in one!

I very much dislike Mozilla’s direction over the last decade. They’re introducing user-hostile features that subtly break normal browsing experience, even when disabled[0]. Not like Google is better, but I’m also trying to get away from Mozilla.

[0] On Firefox Mobile, there’s a “feature” which makes the address bar auto-complete domains of companies paying Mozilla. I noticed this with Netflix - I never visit, but when I start writing a URL with n, roughly every 10th time Netflix was suggested. You can disable this feature, but this doesn’t actually disable it. The address bar no longer auto-completes with Netflix, instead it just doesn’t autocomplete! So 9/10 times I can write n and press Enter, but 1/10 times I press n and search for the letter n.

Mozilla doesn’t care whether they break features, as long as they can make more money. I strongly dislike this approach by the supposedly “good” browser manufacturer.

I get what you mean, the lows were pretty low (especially any relationship stuff). But the highs were also high, even if they were rare. If they can capture that without the lows, there’s a good chance we’ll be getting good new material!

Just one thing, “drag” apparently isn’t even short for “Dragon”, but “Dragon fucker”.

Depends. In this scenario, how Welsh am I?

Yeah. If you spray it on a hammer and hit someone’s head with it, it knocks them right out.

Life finds a way

Just like the ocean is the best body of water for children who want to learn about swimming

And that’s why scoped styles are a godsend!

Global styles were simply always a terrible idea.

Okay, let’s call it a semi-rolling release. Having breaking changes every 6 months is still very often for a set-and-forget system.

Then you’re still entirely misunderstanding the point.

Though still far easier than a calzone

Them’s the real connoisseurs

While I enjoy using Aurora, there were a bunch of issues popping up over the last few months (e.g. display freezes). I guess that’s the danger of a rolling release cycle, but I’m not sure it’s 100% as foolproof as it needs to be right now.

I say we still do it, for good luck

Dude, the places that measured 50x the normal amount of radiation aren’t measuring 50x the amount right now. I’m aware that coal adds radioactive material to the air, but that’s just not relevant to the topic. But I’m tired of explaining that, have a good one.

Yes, lots. After the accident a bunch of places in Germany measured far higher-than-normal radiation levels. There were lots of unclear signals going through the government and media - the different states had different recommendations and there were lots of confusing/opposing signals going through the government and media. Some examples:

• the government recommended taking iodine tablet, which promptly sold out
• people were scared of the rain being sour, so they really tried not going out during/after
• people sprayed down their children after playing outside for fear of residue
• confusing/cautionary signals around fresh dairy and produce meant that many only consumed canned goods for a while

All of this happened during the formative years of a large part of our population. Can you understand how this does give a foundation to the fear?

Nuclear disasters are not happening despite there being hundreds of plants in operation. It’s all just FUD spread by the fossil lobby.

One happened a couple of years ago, and I guarantee you more will happen - as long as humans are involved in the cycle, things can and will go wrong. Modern designs make this far less likely and hopefully reduce the worst outcomes by a lot, but how sure are you that all our reactors are secured against e.g. sabotage? What if an enemy nation invades and gains control of the reactor? What if individual systems get attacked by drones? We’re entering a new age - don’t underestimate what terrible things can happen this time around.

Also, Fukushima happened due to natural disasters. Climate change is changing what magnitude of disaster happens where, so they might hit reactors that aren’t prepared for these disasters. Is every nuclear reactor worldwide safe from a Fukushima-type accident under all possible conditions?

I’m not at a computer with the source on it, so if you get to it before me, how many rust drivers are there? How many that would use the rust dma wrapper?

… of course there aren’t many Rust drivers so far, since the project is still young, and it’s evidently still facing hurdles and not really accepted by everyone. But if there’s already a couple of Rust drivers and Rust has explicitly been accepted into the Kernel, we’re already past your “this would make it easier for hypothetical rust drivers that might hypothetically exist in the future”, so why argue such irrelevant points?

More broadly there are times when duplicated c code has been condensed into a library or something and added to the kernel.

And that’s what has been blocked here…

I don’t know if you’re trolling. Of course people aren’t afraid of exactly these reactors blowing up again. They are afraid of nuclear accidents in general. There’s always a chance for things to go wrong, otherwise we wouldn’t have had Fukushima a couple of years ago. Some link in the chain can always fuck up.

“Coal puts out more radioactivity into air” is an incredibly stupid point. “More radioactivity” than what? People aren’t going through the same precautions they had to when they lived through the last fallout. That’s not real in this context.
