The author is doing video editing work. The point of the 5k screen is to have a 4k video displayed at 1:1 pixel and controls displayed alongside it. I.e. the author may be part of that small subset of people that actually want 5k in order to do their job.

FF has for me crashed more times in the last week than in the previous year. - Multiple installs on different Linux systems. The last crash was with a clean profile.

And then there's the disappearing dev tools - that's fun.

EDIT: I hope that there is something weird with my systems. But I fear that the rush to push this out might have been a little hasty.

EDIT EDIT Apart from the crashes the new FF has been nice. I've been able to largely stop using chromium for dev work - so not all is bad.

This is a little outdated.

The more modern theory is that walrus tusk (which was extremely valuable until elephant ivory became available) prices crashed meaning the ships had little reason to travel to Greenland for trade.

I think that this coincided with the Black death which truly devastated the Norwegian population.

My typical answer for a security question is something like "39arsrc uyrsrsaulsr8832r" and that's saved in a password manager

The problem with this is that the "security" question will often be asked over the phone. At this point an answer of "Oh I just mash the keyboard for those" is probably going to get an attacker access to your account..

Is Finnish representable in Latin1? If so you might be missing some of the suitabilities of converting from "asci" (most things around Europe weren't asci but latin1) to utf.

Random behavior is usually an indication that there may very likely be a race condition without needing the source code.

Unfortunately if your money comes from advertising your core job is advertising. So you should focus on your core business. I don't blame you for not liking this - and I don't like it either. The problem is that I like so many others probably wouldn't pay for your content/service if I had to.

I also sighed with relief. Generally this is what happens with Linux desktop through several technologies compete and one comes through after a while as the winner. Now that Wayland is actually shipping and with the whole community shortly behind it I hope to see some nice improvements in the Linux desktop in the next few years.

If someone could fix Network Manager that would be nice though...
