I know this is me being unhinged, but when they're that clean, I get stuck on wondering what they might be hiding. I think I'm broken, I can't accept the possibility that he might just be a good dude.

Carnivores tend to taste like their diet which can obviously vary a lot. You'll find a hundred different answers, but mostly it's not great, if we had something like a 'farm raised' option it might at least be consistent.

Planned obsolescence is built into googles processes.

They've created an environment where your primary method of advancing in your career is only creating new things and there's little to no options when choosing to support existing things. Some things have survived by chance and/or something to keep employees busy, but it's unintentional.

I know this won't work for everyone, but I just quit playing games that don't work or even from publishers that do shitty things and there's still plenty of games out there. There's a lot of shovelware out there, but there's also a lot of good stuff out there.

We'll just make a new Unix time on 19 January 2038.

Unix Time 2: 2 Fast, 2 Furious.

I'm obsessed with the idea of a slow-paced FPS game now. Imagine logging in once or twice a day, picking a shot and seeing if whoever it is is still there the next day.

Oh man, you're getting rare enough with that name that there's probably not a lot of options. Nothing to gain and kinda weird, but that's unique enough that it's probably 5 minutes of google to figure out.

Did I miss a piece? I don't see anywhere in the original statement where firefox is actively recommended, just mentioned as an example.

They're still out there technically, but they get jankier every year. The new UI they released... last year? put the nail in the coffin for a lot of the fancy ones, but there are still options out there to skin your Steam UI.

Wasn't that effectively the Libertarian motto for a bit? When they weren't veering down some insane tangent that they all picked up on on that particular year?

It's chromium based, but it's pretty custom at this point. Chrome extensions are still compatible, but the interface/etc will throw you a bit if you're looking for something that's a direct swap.

I've been using Vivalid, they have 'Workspaces' (as its Tab Group analog) which is different but in a way that was a pleasant surprise and kind of reminds me of older systems. Imagine working with one tab group at a time and the rest disappear when you're not on that workspace.
