This is true, at least some officials of the Nigerian government have stated so.

It’s truly more complicated than that. The USA electoral system is weird worldwide, but more than weird, it’s antiquated and by design, by tradition, very prone to be manipulated, and this goes from the caucus system to the elections themselves.

It’s set up for the people to feel they are actually choosing leaders, but the reality is the political representation is only achieved for an increasingly narrow economical and ideological subset of the people. The American political class is very conservative, and it always breaks my heart that many Democrats feel offended when people from other countries, like me, point this out.

Now it’s starting to make sense. Wanted to upgrade my old processor to something newer, but still AM4. Prices are stupidly high.

You got me curious about that New Hotness, NGL. Thank you for your kind comment.

Waste of energy.

I’ve tried. I really don’t want to have another “gadget” in my carbon footprint, but can’t avoid it. I’ve read in my tablet, it’s just too heavy. So, it’s gonna be a PC, a laptop, a tablet, a cellphone, and an eBook reader -_-

The only good side is I use them way more, I think, than your average person. The PC is almost ten years old, the laptop is like six yo, my cellphone is getting to 4 years of use, but the tablet is only a couple of years old and it was supposed to serve as a reader. Also, if I use my tablet just to read, it’s a waste of energy; eink devices are typically very efficient.

My father was recently a political prisoner. At 77 yo, he once was declared on liberty just to take him back after many hours standing waiting for his release, that never came. He said he was 20 hours standing, but the records only showed ~11 hours. Nevertheless, the next day I visited he had an audience but he couldn’t stand. They put him in a wheelchair so he could attend. The audience was gonna be about his release that couldn’t happen the day before, and the judge felt and stated the wheelchair thing could be a charade, because the records showed he was “only” 11 hours, tops, waiting for his release. His condition was bad, he barely slept. I had to pull him out of the wheelchair so he could pee, and months later he lost a toe, almost a foot, because his legs were failing to irrigate enough blood.

There was some equipment “failure” during the audience. It was suspended and the room was changed in the very moment. After the failure, it was resolved that my father had to stay in prison, because he still represented a danger to society, an activist with a career of 50 years. When I went to UNO, they told me that torture was absolutely difficult to prove, and prosecuting torture was basically a deadend in this case. They also completely drop interest in my father’s case, and stop responding to my communications, they basically ghosted me. Torture was common in that prison, I met a man who went blind in four days. He’s still there.

This is true, but still, that number of mentions must be concerning for many people.

Oh. That’s terrible. It’s always heartbreaking when these little dudes pass so young.

Wasn’t Mozilla Corp. supposed to be an ethical enterprise? How’s this ethical at all in any respect? How companies like these got convinced that so-called AIs are something users overwhelmingly want to use? Why, by default, users would want to fuck the atmosphere and several markets, so they can have shitty tweaked images and probably bad answers to the most simple questions?

It is not, indeed.

It’s ridiculous. Fuck the Mickey Mouse Protection Act.

I’ll probably use a QR code

Princess Carolyn looks like she is thinking “wtf is this”?

Oh, we use all kinds of slurrs for that. Actually, to avoid slurs you can say “guau”, which sounds like “wow”.

Well, that’s you. I’m not having, as I said before, any issues with Gecko, I do have many with Google and any monopoly.

Is it still kicking? Wow, never thought I’d come back to Dillo, Midori, Epyphany (GNOME Web) and links.

People keep saying that, but I don’t think there are noticeable differences in performance between both engines. Gecko is competitive, the problem, I think, comes from the web developers not bothering to optimize or test under Gecko anymore.

Wow, that carbon footprint. You must be proud.

It’s not needed. Nobody is looking for AI powered shit and they will feel it in their numbers. Why invest the pennies Mozilla can invest in a technology that big monsters are developing with billions and billions of dollars and natural resources? It’s not even reasonable, like a Pocket 2.0.
