They don’t care about Firefox. Chrome is the browser market, they have weakened extensions, they implemented DRM, and here we are.

Anyone else feel like ~99% of their life was kind of wasted?
I’ve improved my life quite a lot but it’s hard to give advice to others.
The comparison mindset is really bad though. It literally doesn’t matter what another monkey on this planet does. Your thoughts about how to improve your life are ones you have to discuss with yourself (maybe guided by a therapist). There is no wrong way to live but you have to make the choice on how you want to.

USB-C as a connector can easily last a decade, much longer for just power delivery.

Would this work or just make people upset?
It would just lead to the decay of society where nobody is responsible for their own commitments.

AirVPN discloses server seized in 2015
Such a strange comment.
Surely they kept it private because it’s bad for business. Then they randomly respond with this on a forum post?

From the article
The problem seems to revolve around brands that haven't acquired this licensing
It seems to just be rent seeking? Since it’s retroactive there probably isn’t a security change and malicious hardware can spoof being licensed, though this is unclear. So it probably only hurts legitimate small brands.

Systemd 256.1 Maintenance Release Fixes Home Directory Deletion Bug
TL;DR for anybody worried. systemd-tmpfiles --purge was too broad in scope (and has a confusing name) so now you must be more specific when using it to avoid accidentally deleting things.
