Centaurs have arms... So it fits as is imo

It's still not that old (~10 years or so iirc), it takes time for a third party to be major contentender. Earlier on you're more likely to see third party wins in more local than national level elections.

It's not an insta-win for third parties. But that's ok, because local elections matter, and that's where you'd typically see results first.

I wouldn't say they are wrong, I've got plenty of issues with Firefox that aren't in chromium-based browsers. Mostly with media playback, but on Android the toolbar hide on scroll is a mess, no matter what it just covers the page. Makes it really hard to use a menu or click a button depending on where it is. I also have some locally run services that throw js errors in FF but not in cromite, chromium, or chrome.

Doesn't mean I don't prefer FF because I acknowledge it has problems. I don't generally view videos in my browser anyway, and I disable the hide-on-scroll feature. And if I have a particularly problematic site (the js errors), I open cromite or whatever.

The bigger issue isn't people talking about bugs, but downplaying the role the foundation plays in supporting users. That, imo, is where a lot of misinformation and disinformation seems to live.

That is not what the article says.

I'd even go as far as to say many of them today are just copying Jobs. He was a terrible person.

Oof, seriously. And /e/os is an odd recommendation over graphene.

Just to mention a not-foss, but extremely well done DAW, cheap ($60 personal use, $225 commercial) and goes through 2 major versions before you'd need to pay again, free to download and try WinRAR style, supported on windows, macos, and Linux, etc, etc - reaper.

If you need a solid DAW, with support for all kinds of plugins and a dev team that's not a bag of dicks trying to screw you over with a cloud subscription and AI, this is it.

Neural networks, OCR, called one of the "godfathers of deep learning", etc, etc.

He's a brilliant, well known scientist.

I'm aware of them.

Let's look at some of the most historic:

  • NY Presbyterian Hospital - with no real efforts on their end to prevent the violation of thousands of records, they got a whopping fine of.... Under $5 million.
  • AHC - lack of risk analysis, failures in procedures and policies, etc - Just over $5 million.
  • Data breaches - usually around $4-5mil, the worst case being Anthem, about 80 million people effected - $16 million in fines. A record.

Criminal offenses? Yeah, plenty of those - with individuals, usually related to that information then being used for other purposes (scams, theft, etc).

But a company like Microsoft, you're going to have a hard time convincing me it's going to ruin the company. The history of HIPAA violations and their fines tell a very different story.

SCP or a share on a NAS, personally.

Since the start. Forget working with them, it's a rough go to even try and communicate with them.

And that goes back to mailing list days, creating a personal grudge against Gnome so firm that I haven't used it since the early 2000s.

Thankfully there's KDE for my general use and a wide variety of lightweight options for other uses.

Oh, I read it as half the people won the birth lottery, the other half exploited people.

As a 50/50 split for the person yeah that's what it would be

Just how I read the images sorry :)
