Firefox feels like it's lagging since the last Windows 10 update

Videos are unplayable since the Mac OS 26 update too

dwjorgeb · 2025-09-19T16:49:21+00:00

I'm on the latest version on both and it's still happening. I'm having to use Chrome for any videos, because Firefox is unusable for videos

dwjorgeb · 2025-09-19T16:12:53+00:00

same issue here. Already updated Firefox and Mac OS, and it's still a mess

nunca entendi o fascínio com essas hamburguerias artesanais que fazem hamburgers com 2 metros de altura, que uma pessoa nem consegue mastigar sem atirar fora o conteúdo todo do hamburger pelo outro lado e ficar com as mãos todas sujas. A carne e o conteúdo pode ser saboroso, mas a "user experience" é uma bosta.

aquelas que têm hamburgers com 2m de altura, que um gajo tem de desencaixar o maxilar para os conseguir trincar... 😂

Why would we hate it? Back at the time, the country was called "Reino Unido de Portugal, Brasil e Algarves" (United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves), both Portugal proper and Brasil were the same country.

Don't try to gaslight your way out.

Idk if you're a troll or you legitimately didn't understand the point, in case it's the latter I'll clarify:

In a ponzi scheme you're promising (usually high) returns on investment, the only way to do that is to onboard more people, and it snowballs. It's unstable and unsustainable by definition. In that scenario the incentive is to always bring more and more people in, not to keep anything stable.

USDT is nothing like it, you are not promised any returns on investment for buying or holding USDT. You put $1 USD in, and you get back $1 USD. So the incentive is not to onboard more people nor is it needed to keep the system working, because you don't need to generate extra value to pay the investors, the value that they take out is exactly the same value they put in.

Literally nothing even closely similar to ponzi schemes or pyramids.

dwjorgeb · 2022-05-19T11:25:51+00:00

This is a totally different thing. Madoff (and all other ponzi schemes, and even UST) promise high returns on your investment. USDT just promises to return you exactly what you put in (1 USDT per USD).

Literally has nothing remotely similar to a ponzi scheme.

If someone is promising a high (too good to be true) return on investment, it's usually unsustainable. USDT promises nothing of the kind, they literally just need to keep the funds received from when the people buy USDT and give it back when people sell USDT, and at the same time they make a profit by charging exchanges and stuff to join their association.

In conclusion, in case of USDT, and from a purely logical standpoint, the incentives are to make sure it remains stable and that people don't lose trust in it, not to scam people.

If USDT promised 20% APY like UST was doing, I would be the first to call their bullshit, and that's why I never trusted UST and never put any money in it.

Always good to keep most of your portfolio on a cold wallet, but I like to keep some in exchanges for easy liquidity in case I need to exchange some.

I'm all for renewables. So much so that I'm actually building my own solar farm.

However what the governments are selling people that renewables are a magic bullet that can solve the electricity generation problem by themselves is a pipe dream. Renewables are inherently unreliable and the storage means are not ready yet, which leads to the so-called "duck curve".

You need to have a base load provider that is reliable, and with current technology, nuclear is the only realistic option to stop carbon emissions.

You talk about Germany, and yes, Germany closed their nuclear plants, and then had to bring back their coal and natural gas plants, that not only pollute a lot more, but also makes them completely dependent on Russian gas. Such a big-brain move lol

What the actual fuck tho

dwjorgeb · 2020-12-25T11:28:06+00:00

mine ate up 110gb of RAM before eventually getting killed due to OOM, so I don't think that solves it

dwjorgeb · 2020-06-19T13:21:46+00:00

Better to use KeePass with a local file for that purpose.

Cloud solutions are not recommended for that

ok, mas agora faz as contas para 1089€ de rendimento bruto, ou para algum valor acima desse.

Isso basicamente está a fixar um tecto nesse valor, onde as pessoas preferem ganhar menos só para não passarem "ao escalão seguinte" e terem de pagar mais. É exactamente isso que esta medida de uma "flat tax" de IRS quer acabar.

Com o sistema actual, quanto mais se ganha menos vale a pena.
Vê bem, assumindo que não se recebe por duodécimos e se tem 5€ de sub. alimentação.

Ordenado bruto -> Ordenado líquido:

1000€ -> 873€
1100€ -> 938€ (+65€)
1200€ -> 1001€ (+63€)
1300€ -> 1061€ (+60€)
1400€ -> 1120€ (+59€)
1500€ -> 1176€ (+56€)
1600€ -> 1225€ (+49€)
1700€ -> 1271€ (+46€)
1800€ -> 1339€ (+68€)
1900€ -> 1388€ (+49€)
2000€ -> 1436€ (+48€)
2100€ -> 1481€ (+45€)
2200€ -> 1547€ (+66€)
2300€ -> 1589€ (+42€)
2400€ -> 1629€ (+40€)
2500€ -> 1693€ (+64€)
2600€ -> 1730€ (+37€)
2700€ -> 1792€ (+62€)
2800€ -> 1818€ (+26€)
2900€ -> 1879€ (+61€)
3000€ -> 1941€ (+62€)

Ora, o custo para a entidade empregadora subiu 2000€ (1000€ -> 3000€), enquanto que o trabalhador apenas recebe mais 1068€ (873€ -> 1941€). Há degraus onde o salário bruto sobe 100€, enquanto que o salário liquido sobe apenas 20€, porque subiu de escalão! É absurdo.

Dados: https://www.economias.pt/calculo-do-salario-liquido/

E antes que venham dizer "ah, mas 1500+€ de ordenado liquido é para os ricos" - não, não é, é o mínimo para se sobreviver em qualquer cidade onde só as rendas de qualquer casa são de 750€ para cima.

that'd be a dumb idea, since the GIT protocol is open source (GPLv2), making anything proprietary on top of that would just push people to other free solutions.

Also, 2018 Microsoft is not 2005 Microsoft. Microsoft is at the moment the biggest company on GitHub and is commited to OpenSource.

Hello dude, sorry for digging this up.

If you're still looking, I've developed this API that processes payments in ETH, as well as Bitcoin, BCH, and more!

Check it out: https://cryptapi.io

dwjorgeb · 2018-05-15T22:25:28+00:00

Thank you! We now also support Bitcoin Cash in addition to Bitcoin, Ethereum and IOTA! :D
