Firefox being slow has almost nothing to do with Mozilla’s incompetence or the browser’s inability to handle websites.
When devs build websites, they usually build them for the most popular browser, aka Chrome. They couldn’t be bothered to help the minority of people who use Firefox. Also, cost. Building a website to work with 2 different engines is more expensive than building it for just one engine that’ll work for 99% of users. That’s why a lot of banking websites never support FF.
Another primary reason is Google’s Monopoly. Almost everyone uses some Google service or another. Google’s websites are tailored to perfectly fit Chromium, not FF. This is why you’ll sometimes see websites break or even crash. YouTube’s recent ambient mode made the site choke quite a lot on FF. An average Joe ain’t got the knowledge to know or even troubleshoot the issue and they’ll just shift to Chromium, where everything just works.

Oh, you mean to tell me that paying for a gazillion streaming services individually is somehow more expensive than bundling them all together with cable? Who could have seen that coming?
Cable wasn’t exactly popular where I was growing up. I mostly watched movies in theaters or through DVD’s.
I remember a time when all the Disney content used to be on Netflix. That was the first time I actually invested in a streaming service. But, then they decided to make Disney+ and I went, “Well it’s time. Argh Matey!”
The Netherlands. And by popular, I mean in my locality. Growing up, going to the theater was a luxury experience. I had a friend who was better off and he and I shared CD’s of movies and video games and so on.
Free TV was mostly politics, news and religious stuff (maybe I remember it that way because my Dad mostly used the TV). About the only time I was really invested in television was when the 2006 World Cup aired.
Someone will most likely create a fork to remove this or an option to disable it will probably be baked into about:config. I don’t visit many sites that use DRM. When I do visit sites that require it, I’ll usually shift to Ungoogled Chromium or Brave.
Another one of my major fears with this change is whether Google will decide to make Chromium closed source and the implications it can have for other chromium based browsers.
I’m going insane. I cannot for the life of me find a suitable way to listen to music privately.

If you want something on Android, check out https://github.com/vfsfitvnm/ViMusic. It uses YouTube Music as a back-end and can recommend stuff based on what you listen. It also supports offline playback. On desktop, you can use https://codeberg.org/Hyperpipe/Hyperpipe. It also uses YouTube Music as its back-end.
If you want ultimate privacy, then download your favorite songs and use VLC or self host them and stream it from there.
Am a Dutch person and can confirm. However, it’s a word that has multiple meanings and cannot be directly translated. In the literal sense, it means cozy or quaint, but can also mean time spent with loved ones, meeting with a friend after a long time, or a general feeling of togetherness.
One of my many gripes with Inkscape is the steep learning curve. If this new application fixes it, I’d see myself using it as long as I don’t have to rent the software.
Blender took me a lot of time to master. It’s not exactly bad. The only thing is stuff is hard to find. And if you don’t use it frequently, you’ll eventually forget how to use it.
During COVID, I decided to give Blender a shot. It did work out, and I started creating some cool stuff. Then a few months passed, and when I reopened it, I was like, uh…

Invidious doesn’t use YouTube’s API. It merely requests content from YouTube either directly or through a proxy. So, I don’t think it’ll disappear forever unless the developers stop working on it. It’s probably gonna be a game of cat and mouse where YouTube figures out how to break Invidious, and the devs keep finding a workaround.
Meanwhile Apple: Introducing the revolutionary new iSpoon, complete with a 4K OLDED touch screen and a built-in Siri that tells you how to chow your cereal properly. Starting at the low price of $1600 $1099.99.
But of course, don’t forget to buy the iBowl, iPlate, and iNapkin as well, because who needs an ordinary cutlery set when you can have everything in true Apple fashion.
(Disclaimer ⚠️: The iSpoon can only be used with the iBowl.)
I’m making this really simple. If you want to learn more, I’ve linked the necessary Wikipedia articles.
So, imagine you have a group of atoms attending a party. These atoms (primarily uranium) are jumping around and having a blast. But there are some mischievous atoms known as neutrons. They’re the troublemakers, and they crash into this party (literally) and start a chain reaction.
These troublemakers (neutrons) crash into the uranium atoms at high speeds, causing them to split. This splitting releases an immense amount of energy, just like those party poppers that launch confetti everywhere. The uranium atoms breaking in half release more troublemaker neutrons, which then crash into more uranium atoms and keep the party going.
But things can get out of control if we don’t keep things cool. So, in comes the chill factor – a coolant. It’s like a cool drink that cools down the party and assures that things don’t heat up too much. Now, we need a DJ to create the right atmosphere, and that’s where a control rod comes in. These rods can absorb the troublemakers (neutrons) and regulate the intensity of the chain reaction (fission reaction). They’re like the bouncers at a bar, ensuring things don’t get too rowdy.
I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.
