    We don’t have anyone actively working on Windows support, and there are considerable changes required to make it work well outside a Unix-like environment.

    We would like to do Windows eventually, but it’s not a priority at the moment.

    This is how you make “critical mass” adoption that much more difficult.

    As much as I love Linux, if you are creating a program to be used by everyone and anyone, you achieve adoption inertia and public consciousness penetration by focusing on the largest platform first. And at 72% market share, that would be Windows.

    I hope this initiative works. I really do. But intentionally ignoring three-quarters of the market is tantamount to breaking at least one leg before the starting gate even opens. This browser is likely to be relegated to being a highly niche and special-interest-only browser with minuscule adoption numbers, which means it will be virtually ignored by web developers and web policy makers.

    where they help young adults and millennials deal with feelings of depression, disillusionment, and cynicism?

    You mean by eradicating the Parasite Class, dismantling vampire/vulture Capitalism, crashing the housing market by 75+%, and closing the wealth gap, thereby giving them a future that is not only affordable but also worth living and striving for?

    That sounds absolutely wonderful.





  • Despite uBlock, my first pick would be Tab Mix Plus. Firefox has yet to properly open up the API for tabs, so you still have to do some mucking around with internals, but TMP gives you multi-row tabs, specific tab-closing patterns, expanded right-click options, and a whole host of insanely useful tab features.

    I have been using TMP almost since the beginning, a good 15+ years now, and consider it to be absolutely essential to a proper Firefox setup. I would be happy to punt my TMP config file to anyone interested.



  • Honestly, there is a subtle but distinct difference between hardback and hardcover.

    A hardback book has the cover fully designed with graphics, as it is meant to be seen.

    A hardcover has a minimalist cover, without any designs since the dust jacket is what is visually flashy and attractive and is meant to be seen.

    Otherwise, the two are structurally identical, only with the hardcover having an extra protective layer in the dust jacket.



  • I remember reading about a guy who got on the list because he got blackout drunk and peed on a fence. At something like 2AM. That fence? Happened to be an Elementary school fence. So his life got destroyed because he peed in the wrong place, while too drunk to even know where he was, even though there were absolutely no children in the area to “harm” at the time of the incident.

    I am all for strong laws that put large barriers between actual pedophiles and children. But current laws are hoovering up far too many people who are not pedophiles in the least.


  • His router is tri-band though meaning it has 2 5ghz transceivers.

    Unfortunately, for many models - like the Linksys WRT 3200ACM - that second antenna (technically the third one if you include the 2.4Ghz one) doesn’t function at all without the manufacturer’s firmware. It’s a dead stick with any third-party firmware, and is 100% software-enabled.

    I have found this fact to be reliable whether it is DD-WRT or OpenWRT, and across several different manufacturers including Asus and D-Link.
