This is English, but Canada specific as far as I know.

"Fucking the dog" - means to slack off, particularly at work.

"I fucked the dog all day at work today" basically means I got nothing done.

It is distinct from "screw the pooch" which means to fuck something up badly.

But what, practically, is the difference? If more and more websites use shit that only works in Chrome or Chromium based browsers, the effect is the same. The web doesn't work as well for Firefox users.

Oh look, yet another fucking post complaining about new users posting about their experiences switching to Linux. This should be a welcoming community welcoming to all Linux users new and old.

I can see why you might think that, but that's not how it works. All of the text is downloaded up front, but is hidden initially. It is made to appear as you scroll, but it does not get the text via additional web requests. If you view the page source, or inspect element you can see it all there.

Yeah, the look on Shadowheart's face when she returns the gesture is perfect.

For anyone interested, that's called a palimpsest.

a manuscript or piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing but of which traces remain.

I think they just ublocked the dbzero. Or at least I saw a post about it recently saying they've unblocked the piracy communities. I assume that's what you're referring to.

Well... not that shocked.

It's also trivial to skip the launcher by adding --skip-launcher to the Launch Options.
