Parents basically can't do anything leisure-related with electronics or the Internet, at all, if they shut that stuff off at 8:30 every day. Which might be for the best anyway, but it is so tempting to still try to keep up with movie

Plummet implies a straight-line dead fall, or close to it. It derives from lead weights (hence the similarity to "plumber") attached to a line, used for sounding depth of water or for marking a straight vertical line. The "ve

Marvel films have cheap, lazy cinematography, for the most part, so they leave a lot on the table in the name of (I assume) saving money. Every Frame a Painting mentions this in a few videos, especially their poor use of music and failure t

IMO distros shouldn't be packaging the world anymore, anyway. Base system from the distro, everything else from a separate, probably cross-distro package manager. The trouble, of course, is that this is hell for a Linux desktop system,

Sweet Christ. 150mg? Goddamn, I hope my tolerance never gets that bad. That'd be so expensive. 1/10 that at once is enough to get me fucked up enough that, if I had taken more, I'd just be asleep.

I bet if I polled friends and family the ones who know the name OpenOffice would outnumber the ones who know LibreOffice 2:1. And it's only that favorable for LibreOffice because I know quite a few other computer nerds.

That works until Chrome (not open-source derivatives) tops 85% or 90% of market share and the entire Web (by which I mean Cloudflare and AWS) start CAPTCHAing browsers that don't present a Chrome-proprietary user session token.

Accessibility and UI inconsistency are going to be serious problems with that. And UI inconsistency's already the curse of the Web—definitely not something that needs to get worse.
