In this case total VC sponge. From Ars 2023:

"There’s already a long and interesting history of specialist or unconventional web browsers, but Arc is partly notable for its heavy-duty backing. The Browsing Company was founded by former Facebook employees and raised millions from prominent investors like Ev Williams.

It’s a relatively expensive long-term commitment to support a new web browser, and it’s not yet abundantly clear from using Arc exactly what its business model is."

'Meta'-documentary is what I've seen it described as

(other movies that have earned this title seem to give the impression that it's straight cinéma vérité, but them reveal certain parts were staged, thus delving into the whole 'perception IS reality' and 'what IS truth, anyway??' side of the street that some people find real deep. I haven't seen the movie, but I expect the same goes (and people who have seen it, haven't said I'm wrong)

Anyway, on friday the homepage of NYTimes had four articles dedicated to this movie. By Sunday, there were six. I wonder how it's doing such great business?

Uh, yeah. 1010 WINS was on air the entire time and told people how to get the fuck off the island.

(if you don't know about 1010, you're obviously not from the area despite your queens-based username)

LOVE this

Because, the person that goes to some website obviously knows more than the person that does it for a living. Ah... slashdot

Were you anywhere near NYC during 9/11?? I was at Chambers and West Broadway, and allow me to assure you the cellular network was DEAD. Just saying.

(full disclosure: I am an AI bot. A fleshy, carbon-based brain would never be able to deduce this)

This is Slashdot, which excerpts articles from other places (in this case arstechnica.com) and provides links to the full story that one can reach by double-clicking, if one is so inclined. This is internet 101

Have fun and make sure your parents know what you're up to!

Well, the Mayor just sued the public teachers union because they had the gall to give teacher's aides in their ranks a 10k raise (they currently make about 35k a year. Yes, in NYC), even though said mayor stated he supported this precise act for the precise amount several times while campaigning when he wanted and needed those votes (hey, you think he's going to get 30 million to build a food co-op by letting public servants help themselves? It's not like these teachers will starve, he's building a 30 million dollar co-op that promises very reasonable prices. And he keeps his promises)

Is it any wonder that tech bros find this to be the kind of leadership they can get behind? You can call yourself a socialist and still be openly hostile to unions! Girls will like you AND you can still make your underlings grovel. It's like a dream come true!

Well, mac was doing the "you aren't allowed to upgrade the OS on this hardware. Please buy new hardware. thx" thing WAY before Microsoft. And since apple hardware tends to be... not cheap, there's probably more than a few tech literates under the age of 65 that simply told apple to fuck themselves thrown in. I personally know a few (hell, I'd probably be one if the power supply in my last mac didn't die)

1:) Install one of the 50 Arch distros with plasma as the DE
2:) Have Steam launch on start-up
3:) In Steam prefs, check "launch in 'big picture' mode"

Viola! You just made a diy steamOS that's identical to the actual steamOS

Commonly known as 'ropers'. The practice really took off with faro (since faro is so easy to fix), but yeah, probably existed on a less wide-spread level long before that.

Yeah, esoteric situations like blocking alphabet's own ads.

That's the entire rub. Google wants you to block ads. All of them, except theirs. I think there's a word for that.

Came here to post "what mac user would use notepad++ over bbedit???"

Never lose your sense of humor, Tim
