Reddit is going to earn this so fast lol
vkizl··on Multiple ways to compute e in Raku
Raku = Perl 6, just in case you're wondering.
vkizl··on Chicago book returns surge 240% after city eliminates fines
My point is that I don't understand why the GP brought up the poor, which are kind of a wild card ("won't someone think of the poor???"), when they are perfectly capable of returning books in time.
vkizl··on Google Begins Testing Extension Manifest V3 in Chrome Canary
Disagree. Chrome feels snappier. Firefox stalls sometimes when rendering and can't achieve 60 fps on some websites I use. (Not Google properties)

They still are the fastest and the most secure, and Manifest v3 is faster than uBlock Origin since no javascript code needs to run.

I won't be using Chrome anymore once they implement this since I like my element-hiding rules which I wrote myself, but for the common rabble, Manifest v3 will be an improvement.

Off-topic: because of this, I was thinking of moving to Vivaldi and it's really sad how unpolished and slow their UI is... it's almost as if it was a beta, still. I wonder if they use it themselves...

It seems to me that they want to reinvent the entire Chrome UI but they don't have the necessary manpower to do it properly.

I've played several multiplayer games for Windows and I've only seen Fortnite do this.

Being poor prevents you from returning books in time.
vkizl··on Steam for Linux client adds support for Linux namespaces
To me it feels weird to use binaries from outside the repos, period. On Windows double clicking an exe file feels natural. On Linux "chmod +x something && ./something" is icky.
vkizl··on Apple Co-Founder Says Goldman’s Apple Card Algo Discriminates
Wozniak has got an opinion on everything and the media says we have to care because he co-founded Apple in 1976.

Really, what makes him an expert on this? Why should we pay attention to what he has to say about it?
