But you can also use MATE still to this day, or even Cinnamon.

Granted, there are good podcasts, but I've switched my listening time (mostly commute for in office once a week) to audiobooks. I find books to be much more consistently high quality content, regardless of the source. There are bad books, but the quality tends to be higher than podcasts. I mostly get audiobooks through my library, but I also sometimes listen through Spotify.

I haven't used Windows in years. I remember needing to use WordPad to even open a Unix line ending file, even though it was counter-intuitive.

FreeBSD 15 is planning to ship with an option in the default installer to setup a KDE Plasma desktop!

Dillo works surprisingly well. I've used it on older systems running new operating systems. It does a web browser should do best: read web pages.

Nope, it uses https://www.fltk.org/

I'm from a blue class family in a non-affluent area and I could already read going into Kindergarten because my mom spent a lot of time reading with me before I got to school. This was 25+ years ago.

What does this have to do with running FreeBSD software on Windows?

Reminds me of when Cisco bought Flip Video

I will admit I'm more like to use "--" and not bother converting it if not done automatically on quick forum posts. You can find examples in my post history. But I come across them all the time in written works.

Honestly em-dashes are simpler to use than other punctuation and sometimes come in handy when it's not clear what to use.

Many devices and word processors will convert "--" into an em-dash. On longer posts, I often write in a word processor and then copy-paste to a text field.

On Android and iOS, you press and hold the "-" to get the "–" and "—" options.

On Mac, use opt + hyphen for "–" and opt + shift + hyphen for "—" (similar to other special characters).

On Linux you can enable the compose key and use it similar to MacOS (Compose+---).

It's not rocket science.

Meanwhile Microsoft removed WordPad in the latest version of Windows 11. It was a great simple word processor and text editor. It even supported docx and odt files.

I loved the N800 and was happy to see it make an appearance in that presentation. In fact I still have one in my desk drawer beside me I turn on from time-to-time. Yes it was a bit cumbersome, but I could do more with that device than any other handheld I have ever had and carried it with me for years. I wish the N900 and other smartphones on Maemo had caught on.

Yeah one non-profit is a place that people physically so I imagine a lot of people look at it on their cell phone. We have over half of our visitors on mobile.

I manage websites for a couple of non-profits. A very high percentage of traffic is from Safari (mostly on iOS) -- 40% on one site. Only testing in Chrome seems like a bad idea.

I just use Firefox and disable Pocket, search suggestions, and everything on the new tab page and it feels fine to me.

You tip at fast food restaurants?

And it is not just the US. In the UK from my limited experience visiting they use a mess of different units commonly. Certainly not all in on metric.

You're probably right, but it doesn't always feel that way when you have serial numbers on every piece of currency. And coins are so uselessly low value today that they're hard to use.

I got started with Netscape Composer around this age, as you could easily switch between the HTML view and the WYSIWYG view and see what everything does. Seamonkey is a still maintained version of the old Netscape/Mozilla suite which has Composer.

I used to spend so much time on geek.com and I completely forgot about the website!

Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E work as expected on macOS. They must be testing on that OS only.

I have a theory that Firefox gets under reported in a lot of stats because its users are more likely to use Adblockers. Statcounter for example is going to be blocked by most Adblockers; stats based on server logs will be more accurate.

I am running Leap on my main laptop. I guess I need to re-evaluate as I haven't been following OpenSUSE development lately.

Daily runs (~5k 5-6x per week), vegetarian diet, consistent sleep/wake-up time.

Considering the article mentions large/"splurge" purchases and travel, I doubt that the majority of this is to be accounted for prepping for an economic collapse.

I've interviewed hundreds of college students and recent grads and have never had this happen or even thought of it as a possibility. I can't imagine how I'd respond as it feels so far out of norms I'd expect.

Honestly Firefox is the biggest thing I miss on Android since switching to iOS. It supports uBlock Origin which makes mobile browsing so much nicer. I haven't found a better mobile web experience on iOS yet.

Works great in old conference rooms... I have a USB-C VGA adapter in my bag still.
