Honestly, I can't even say I'm disappointed. I've lost all hope in Facebook.

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.

The person who solved the Poincaré conjecture was Russian mathematician, Grigori Perelman who declined the prize as it was not also offered to Richard S. Hamilton, upon whose work he had built.

A collection of mysterious and unsolved math problems, also known as "The Millennium Problems" are 7 extremely challenging and complex mathematical problems selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. Solving any of these problems would not only advance our understanding of mathematics but also earn the solver a prestigious $1 million prize. To date, only one of these problems (The Poincaré conjecture) has been solved, leaving six intriguing and unsolved mysteries awaiting discovery.

It's not about the cooking, it's the f*ck ton of dishwashing left.

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?

As long as this doesn't impact Firefox, I don't care...

Used to have a funny picture of my cat as my profile picture on Signal, but I removed it later on. Now, I don't use one on my personal accounts.

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.

Till then, Inkscape all the way.

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.

I'd make 3 Horcruxes. One I'd place in a stone or seashell and chuck it into the ocean. I'll put another in a NOKIA 😂. Since living beings can also be made into Horcruxes, my third pick may be a Phoenix.

The meme was designed in LibreOffice. It worked surprisingly well. Only open source software was used for the creation of this meme.

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.

According to Guinness World Records, the first person charged with speeding was Walter Arnold from Paddock Wood, Kent. On 28 January 1896, Arnold was seen going 4 times the allowed 2 mph speed limit in his Benz. The constable pursued him on his bicycle, issuing a ticket for £4 7s (roughly £260 in today's money), of which 10 shillings was for speeding.

My favourite part is when the prophecy could have applied to Neville or Harry. This meant that Voldemort had the option to kill either one of them. Ultimately, he chose Harry. However, there was a possibility that Neville could have been The Boy Who Lived. It's a shame this plotline didn't make it into the movies.

It's fun to speculate how the story would have proceeded if it was Neville Longbottom & The Philosopher's Stone 😂.

When Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, he did paint her eyebrows, but over time, they wore away due to cleaning and maintenance to the point where it’s no longer visible today.
