I won't bash Mint, because I think Mint Cinnamon is great (if a little ugly out of the box).
For the past 3-4 years, though, I've been using Fedora and I've been very impressed. Almost as cutting edge as Arch, yet it's well-tested and in my experience rock-solid stable.
The market can remain irrational for far longer than you can remain solvent
Although it's ambiguous how much of this is due to AI data centres and how much is the natural ramp-down of DDR4 production.
DDR3 also increased substantially in price a few years after DDR4 became available.
Some extensions have a verified/recommended by Mozilla seal of approval, so these extensions would be checked by a human to see that they comply.
Obviously they can't check every update of every extension in existence, but even just the above is an improvement and certainly not useless.
I don't think this could be enforced by the API without also seriously limiting what extensions can do, which people would go crazy about if they did.
The activists brought it up in their defence, though?
No, but Amazon's are very often the cheapest by far, easiest to find used (since more are sold in the first place). On Prime days they're often very cheap.
I imagine most of the profit comes from buying/renting the books.
There was a lot of BS advertising not long ago about it being a web browser "for gamers", whatever that means.
Open source is the exception, and it's important to note that.
Now you may be thinking "well duh", but I've seen plenty of people, even fairly techy people, refuse to use good FOSS software because they think they're being monetised somehow and that because there's no ads, it must be from secret data theft.
There are a number of sources for it. I'd have thought you've seen them since you're posting this nonsense
But sure, here is one.
Why are you fine with holocaust denial and genocide? Do you also deny the Holocaust?
What a disgusting little bigot. I hate racists.
Indeed. Unfortunately in the age of abundant air travel and being able to do basically everything online, including remaining in contact with people, it's not hard to just move out of the UK if you're super wealthy.
We absolutely can and should tax assets that can't be moved out of the UK, though, like land. A multi-millionaire can move all kinds of things out of the country, but they cannot take their land with them. Land value would of course go down or stagnate, but I don't personally see that as a bad thing.
That said, even if you took all billionaire wealth in the UK (while somehow simultaneously preventing a crash in the value of those assets), it'd last months. It wouldn't be a permanent solution. State spending is £1.2 trillion, a small amount of billionaires aren't going to plug the gap for long.
There's no simple solution to the financial situation this country is in.
E: I guess people don't want solutions, they just want someone who agrees with them.
Why would the government bail them out?
The government doesn't bail out retailers. Does Woolworths, Netto, and Wilko not ring a bell?
E: you're American, so they probably genuinely don't ring a bell.
