Firefox is my main browser, but I occasionally need a Chromium browser for technical reasons. I had been using Brave - note the past tense there. Any suggestions for my new secondary browser?

What a pile of steaming bullshit
I’m guessing it’s more about the clear bias on display, wherein certain topics are suppressed
Wait what? Imma need to see that
Aren’t they fractions rather than floating point decimals?
An individual would risk corporate lawyers lobbing suits at them they don’t have nearly enough resources to fight. In that way, it’s much like other forms of activism: individual actions are easily singled out and retaliated against.
If a ton of people were to do so, however, they might have an impact. Either the registrar would have to take steps to limit who can submit them, which might conflict with some laws, or they’d invest a great deal of resources trying to sort out the legit ones. Trying to single out people for retaliation is hard when there’s enough of them. In this way, too, it is like other forms of activism:
There is strength in numbers. There is power in unity.
If, hypothetically, someone were to coordinate such actions in the style of a crowdsources DDoS, and they could get enough participants, they might get away with it.
I’m thankful I don’t do software dev (I did two years as a working student, that was enough), but working in Data Engineering / Analytics* doesn’t make things better. I’ll overengineer the database, ETL and reporting, define a dozen measures I’ll never use, prepare a dozen ways to slice and view the data I’ll never look at and build a whole data warehouse I’ll never look at.
Eventually I remember that it exists, realise that I’ve answered all my questions by directly querying the database, except for “What am I running out of?”, which I answer by looking in the cabinet because I never update my inventory anyway.
*I don’t even know where the line is anymore and how much of my responsibilities is on either side of it
“6 for the beer, 9 for the longdrink, 4.20 for the water… That’s a total of 694.20 please.”
He uses a pencil, paper and a mechanical calculator to tally up the bill, which I absolutely understand when your career is in IT.
When the alternative is either having to search, evaluate, compare, select and configure an application for that purpose that you’re never quite happy with, or to scope, design, develop, test, deploy, maintain, eternally find things you wish you’d done better, refactor, realise you’re spending your free time on doing more of your job, regret your life choices, resolve to only make this last improvement and then call it good enough, renege on that promise to yourself a week later, burn out, curse that damn app for ruining your hobby…
…yeah, using the most trivial low-tech solution possible does look rather sensible.
My new data structure:
Given a heuristic for determining data quality, it homogenises the quality of its contents. Data you write to it has pieces exchanged with other entries depending on its quality. The lower the quality, the higher the rate of exchange.
If you put only perfect data, nothing is exchanged. Put high quality, you’ll mostly get high quality too, but probably with some errors. Put in garbage, it starts poisoning the rest of the data. Garbage in, garbage out.
“Why would you want that”, you ask? Wrong question, buddy - how about “Do you want to be left behind when this new data quality management technology takes off?” And if that doesn’t convince you, let me dig around my buzzword budget to see if I can throw some “Make Investors Drool And Swoon”-skills your way to convince you I’ll turn your crap data into gold.
I think it’s a symptom of the age-old issue of missing QA: Without solid QA you have no figures on how often your human solutions get things wrong, how often your AI does and how it stacks up.
I love þat you’re trying to bring ðe þ and ð (back) into English.
…what kind of cup? Does a Crema + double Espresso count as one or as three?
To be fair, seeing a complex equation simplify down to a concise result is kinda hot 😳
Ah yeah, that seems to have Anticheat issues.
Still, I like to term it “System inertia” - moving systems is work, and unless something applies force, getting yourself to switch is hard.
Laziness most definitely is a thing. I didn’t switch until I had to.
What’s TOF? I’m only finding answers about flight instruments and cardiac issues
Playing games in general or specific games? Because just about every game I like to play runs just fine on Linux now. The only one I ever missed was Destiny2, but then I moved on.
When on the gallows, humour may be all you have left 😄
Fedora works for me, thanks for the pointer
