I've never understood why people dislike UI changes so much. Yes, I'm talking about the Firefox Nova change, but even bigger, there always seems to be backlash whenever the UI of any software changes. I've always enabled changes as soon as I can because I love change! It makes whatever I'm […]

[NSFW fan art of a dragon washing game I haven't played] Anyway

A poor quality low resolution drawing of a dragon is shown twice. In the upper rendition, the dragon is being hosed down with cyan water, and a caption says "Expectation." Below it is the exact same picture but with a pink blush and a black censor bar and the caption says "Reality."

An office of “remigration” in the State Department. This is the Nazi lexicon - and practice - entering straight into U.S. government. Disgusting. www.thehandbasket.co/p/state-depart…

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’

The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

I updated to macOS 27 Golden Gate and I'm loving it so far. I finally feel like I found a desktop that's more beautiful than the riced KDE desktop that I made a few years ago. #apple #mac #macos #goldengate #macos27 #Desktop

A desktop screenshot featuring a cozy, nighttime Pokémon-themed wallpaper with various Pokémon like Lucario, Piplup, and Mew. A terminal window is open in the center running fastfetch, displaying system information for a MacBook Pro.

My first company, Opera, was built on word of mouth. The same applies to my 2nd company, @Vivaldi. We have never had the means that Big Tech has. In the case of Vivaldi, we have even avoided investors, to not end up like Opera. We have also made it harder for our selves. We likely could have […]

When I was visiting my grandparents, they had their TV turned on and were watching the "History Channel". The show was about Nostradamus, and next in line was something about Ancient Aliens. That is telling a lot about the current state of the world.
