If OP were smart (and they seem like an intelligent enough person) they would’ve thrown in some false red herrings to make it not seem like them. Maybe they quit a while ago, or maybe they haven’t handed in their notice yet. etc. Hopefully that’s the case. And hopefully they reach out to a journo to get this reported on.

On the other hand hopefully their red herrings don’t get some other person falsely implicated.

Who’s saying this “as an American citizen”? I’m not, tf. I’m banned from entering the US lmao, as are most people on Earth at this point. “Everyone on the internet is American” ass comment. Most people hate the country that invades them and bleeds them dry of every resource.

fwiw I would be in support of this. It’s normal for forums to have rules against low-quality discussion.

I do have a profile picture, but I don’t think it’s crucial. Other link aggregators often don’t have profile pictures so if you’re used to those, you may not think to set one. In any case I’ve never thought anyone’s profile picture on here was particularly consequential to me.

I have no money atm but my last round of FOSS donations was just picking based on a function of how much I use a piece of software; how much I like it; and how much money I think it already gets. e.g. I didn’t donate to the Linux kernel because that’s already well-funded, even though I use it every day and like it well enough.

I think my last donations included River (the Wayland compositor I use). For the life of me I can’t remember what else there was but I tend to do rounds of donations when I have money to spare and just pick software based on the above criteria.

Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”?

You can do this… Hard links. Neither file is more “canonical” than the other.

Depends on the country. Also “can” is different to “will”. In most countries it is unlikely anything will happen if you use a good VPN.

chezmoi does everything I need. It’s really nice; would recommend.

You’ve rather boldly made that unsubstantiated claim. Who do you think these scammers are? They’re from poor countries suffering from the aftereffects of colonialism and the ongoing effects of neocolonialism, all of which cause many social problems including the kind that drive people, either through direct violent coercion or more indirect economic coercion, to do things like scam westerners.

Game dev is much more about creativity than technical excellence, for the average hobbyist. So I’d say it’s actually a good hobby to get into if you’re “not the sharpest tool in the shed”. You could even go down a no-code approach like with RPG Maker, if you’re averse to coding.

You should consider why you are so eager to invent and use a slur that is also obviously based on a real racial slur.

Because the purpose is not to be a biography or obituary. The purpose is to say something brief and poignant/emotional. People write actual obituaries/eulogies/biographies for that purpose.

I don’t have anything to talk about with others

Find an activity to do together? A game to play perhaps?

the Gecko engine is open source so it can be stuck with even if Mozilla goes away

Good luck finding people both capable and willing to maintain it if Mozilla abandons it.

The idea though that we need to switch to a new browser engine because we lost faith in Mozilla is a bit silly

I am saying the opposite. I explicitly said I don’t think that would achieve anything. Just because something constitutes a boycott (i.e. using a different browser engine) doesn’t mean that there’s a point to it.

Can you remove the drive? Could remove the drive and put it on another computer then install Linux then reinstall the drive into the Macbook?

Forking the codebase and stripping out any AI code is much easier than trying to invent another wheel.

I never said otherwise. I simply said that using Librewolf is not boycotting Firefox.

Using Librewolf isn’t boycotting Firefox. Librewolf is a soft fork and is dependent on Mozilla for updates. You could switch to Ladybird or something more obscure, but I don’t think you’ll achieve much with that either.

These days the vi command on your machine is almost definitely actually vim just running in a mode with limited features to emulate vi.

Cope

Erm. What? Try learning German without speaking to Nazis…
