Too long to read? I get it. Here’s the summary. Download Firefox.

Yes. One option is to download it from here: https://librewolf.net/

cat `find /sys -name pp_power_profile_mode`

If by "advanced mode" you mean the "expert" installer, it's not in graphics mode so you wouldn't need the ctrl key.

Edit: Actually there is also a "graphical expert install" apparently, but anyway you may be in text mode. You could instead pick rescue mode from the menu as well.

Did an AI write that, or are you a human with an uncanny ability to imitate their style?

Did this highly scientific study contemplate the possibility that this is in part the result of people feeling like they're more justified in turning to piracy if a game is burdened with Denuvo?

Spoiler: It does not, so far as I can tell at first glance. It appears that the model is constructed entirely from DRM-crippled games that got cracked, and then then the estimate of how much revenue would be lost by going DRM-free from the start is extrapolated from that based on the assumption that it makes no difference. Maybe it's true, but the acknowledgement that it "can and often does cause problems, and some developers have chosen to avoid Denuvo altogether because it had such a negative impact on how well their game would run" sort of suggests otherwise.

It appears to be @linuxprepper@podcast.james.network for those who want to follow it.

To have it post to lemmy I believe you'd just need to address things to e.g. @fediverse@lemmy.world

Isn't this basically just the old trick of estimating (x * y) as (x + y - 1) when x and y are somewhat close to 1?

I missed the Internet Archive yesterday when @pluralistic@mamot.fr casually mentioned "Keppler illustrations for Puck" as if we'd all know what that meant and the best-looking link that came up on search was to a collection of them there.

People have to understand the concept of the fediverse

That's the argument. Do they, though? I sure didn't when I first signed up.

Okay I watched the few seconds of video at the end of a three-hour long video apparently about Facebook where he mentions "federated social media using open decentralized technologies such as activitypub" as it is known. The ratio of time and effort he's inclined to devote to each topic speaks for itself. My understanding of what he says: "Sounds complicated. I'm not touching it until all my friends are already there."

I'm not saying you're a nazi, but if you think the main problem with social media is that everyone calls you a nazi you should consider the possibility that you might be.

Under the slogan ‘Think of the children’, the European Commission tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens. When the scandal was revealed, it turned out that American tech companies and security services had been involved in the bill, generally known as ‘Chat Control’ – and that the whole thing had been directed by completely different interests. Now comes the next attempt.

you’re invited to a special program that lets redditors purchase stock

I loaded a page on reddit due to a search result and found out that I'm among the chosen few. Message sent yesterday. They must've gotten fewer takers than expected on the first round of invites if they're now offering shares to people who haven't posted, commented, voted, or done anything else on the site for the past 8 months.
