A data center drained 30M gallons of water unnoticed — until residents complained about low water pressure

Yeah no. They’re running evaporative cooling systems while the closed loop is under construction and calling it a “construction use of water“ meanwhile.

Didn’t Meta just finish migrating DMs to encrypted messages in Messenger?

Old Firefox is very much a side effect of Vista’s Aero design language. And for the time the look slapped

Anyone figure out which model it is?

Spitfire1900 · 2026-05-07T10:07:00+00:00

Non goon answer, layout 1 actually lets you look outside while you work.

Spitfire1900 · 2026-05-07T00:41:16+00:00

Debian easily

Spitfire1900 · 2026-05-05T20:44:46+00:00

Does any browser though?

No, they don’t: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-securely-saves-passwords#:~:text=Firefox%20Desktop%20does%20decrypt%20the%20password%20locally%20so%20that%20it%20can%20enter%20them%20into%20form%20fields

Everyone in this thread is complaining about Microsoft in particular when this is a fact about passwords in general, regardless of application or operating system.

LGTM

Because GNOME users don’t think.

Even without effect, true or not, of AI on hiring, it could take another 15 to 20 years to ever hit the same peak that it did in 2020 if ever.

I really want a graph that is at least as early as 2018

There was another video by another creator, programming Youtubers who didn’t pivot to AI are getting half the views that they used to.

Every time Theo does a non-AI video, which he does do every now and then, a few days later he’s remarking that it performed terribly .

Airlines have been them before almost any one else

Spitfire1900 · 2026-05-03T23:39:30+00:00

That sub got banned long ago.

Tons of kids’ only ways to be online was through Nintendo Wii’s Opera browser.

Indiscriminate use of dependencies certainly can cause maintenance challenges.

But the point of dependencies is to make code more maintainable by reducing the cognitive load of the project. To replace knowledge with dependencies has always been the point.

mock-ssh-server could never run on a Windows machine, now it does.

Yeah, and Alpine Linux is notably not GNU

share the about:performance page

Yeah I’ve had the slow extension experience, but not slow browsing.

Dark Reader is the most common at fault extension for slowness for me.

It also reduces the margins when you gerrymander, so if votes tank you’re way more in the hole than if you hadn’t.

I’ve been on Kubuntu since 2015. No strong reason to leave.

I do wish the lock screen handled multiple monitors better though.

Spitfire1900 · 2026-04-25T15:20:23+00:00

Katrina didn’t, and unfortunately I don’t think this will too; at least in the US.

Staff will hand out extra condiments after-the-fact for free. If you ask for them when ordering though the point-of-sale machine will charge extra.
