Weird vibes here. This is a beta test for a feature update to the actual browser, the part we like using. Not some AI bullshit, the actual browser.

Try it out. See if it’s good. Provide feedback if it’s bad, that’s the point. This isn’t even an announcement for a change, it’s an announcement for an opportunity to test a potential change. Just be happy they’re working on the actual thing they should be, and provide constructive feedback.

We are not just like Russia.

We aren’t exceptional though, you got that right. America hasn’t been exceptional in decades.

There’s a whole question about what I think is most important in AI.

Nothing. AI is not an important part of developing our society. Maybe it could have been, but that was taken over and dominated for profit almost immediately.

Ah but I love in the US, so I’ll just continue in constant fear. On the bright side, those marginal raises go towards the hilariously high cost of therapy.

Because this article isn’t written for Gen Z readers. It’s written for Boomers, the largest consumer bracket of random bullshit web articles like this, and they’ll read that line and think “yeah, dumb kids, they should just learn to budget, that’s what I had to do” and they’ll feel slightly superior and slightly satisfied and come back and click on the next article tomorrow, driving ad revenue because they’re too dumb to use ad blockers, and that’s literally the whole point of all of this.

Birds’ nest.

An explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it’s going to be deprecated eventually:

Firefox has “Collections” I believe. And you can sync them between all Firefox instances you’re signed in to.

That must have been it, appreciate the clarification.

I’ve used it in the past, but they are deprecating one-way ignore-delete syncing.

My understanding of rsync was that it was pretty painfully slow.

I don’t work in the dark. I work during the day, when my employment hours are. When it’s dark I’m not working anymore.

Senior dev and I like dark mode because I also like my retinas.

The videos by TJ DeVries seem like probably the best starting point there is. He’s a contributor, has built a setup script that’s meant to be minimalistic and configurable, and has tons and tons of info about running through all of it yourself.

I guess maybe too mainline for everyone here but I use an Asus router flashed with the Merlin OS (a painless easy process) and it works excellently. No issues setting up all the things you mentioned.

I can’t type if I can’t see the keyboard.

Styled Components’ type system is one of the most impressive and most fucked up things I’ve ever had to dive into.

Even better - it’s a debt. It lowers their income to below 0. It’s a tax break.

210k.

Condos in my area, part of Greater Boston, are going for $1.1mil at least, usually more in the $1.4mil range.

Even if I could somehow scrounge together 20% down that’s monthly payments of over $7k at today’s interest rates. After taxes 210 is more like 126, which is monthly a little over $10k. If I’m not saving anything for retirement and basically barely holding together the rest of my expenses and hoping to God nothing happens to my car, my body, my dog, my cat, or the condo, then I could afford the monthly payments.

Now imagine if I had jumped into that situation and then gotten laid off, like I was.

EDIT: it’s worth clarifying that in big cities, the points talked about in this article are still true, just scaled up. Adults in their late 20s/early 30s working in tech are easily making 150k+. College grads in Computer Science are getting 6 figures easily. Making $200k was the high end of average but nothing unheard of.

And the prices here adjust to that, happily.

Lol I was making nearly twice that before a layoff and still couldn’t afford a condo that amounts to half or one third of a house in the neighborhood I live in.
