Comment Re:'Firefox Is Dead To Me' (Score 1) 226

Ever since Firefox exploded in memory use when they went multi-process, Pale Moon has been my default browser. I only miss containers because I could use multiple accounts simultaneously on specific sites for work.

Only my bank has a site which doesn't stick to common (not Google specific forced) web standards and doesn't work with Pale Moon with Firefox user agent, so that's the only reason I still have Firefox installed.

Who cares about air, water, and food as long as we have our mobile distraction screens fed with junk from billions poured into AI and hypothetical colony missions to the moon and Mars?

I was a hair's breadth from death over a year ago, thus any time since then is just standing in the queue for the final moment. Might as well join the ignorant masses and just have fun watching the fires surrounding us burn. It's a pretty light show.

Comment From a sysadmin and support view (Score 1) 189

I've had to use so many different layouts of keys (not even counting non-US keyboards), that touch typing wouldn't have helped me much. Especially while handling different brands and types of laptops all the time.

Even now that I only use laptops at home and replace them when hardware issues creep up, I still need to look at the keys because I'm a little used to the previous one with a slightly diffeerent size and the function keys are shift-swapped and home, end, insert, and delete are in that row instead of above the numpad section. Not to mention smaller arrow keys and the page up and down keys now grouped with them.
It's less hunt and peck for me, but I sure haven't built the memory in my fingers for where each key is and I often mistype WASD and QERF in games when I move my left hand even a little.
