Chromium & Firefox web browsers are now installable as Snaps on Ubuntu.

And any other distro supporting snaps for that matter then.

Universal simplicity: once the application is installed as a Snap, you'll always get the most recent version as soon as it's released by its developers.

How intuitive...

Computer programming:

1%: I have melded with the machine and we are as one with one singular purpose.

99%: It's a wonder I can even move the mouse without the computer telling me to fuck off.

“Do people actually use Mastodon?”

Nope. Nobody is here. Absolutely no one.

it's getting to the point where I hate using Discord because for some baffling reason it logs me out of my in-browser session whenever I go from home wifi to work wifi and back again, requiring full 2FA and everything

fix your shitty session management guys

‘Stephen Hawking’s final words to the internet: robots aren’t the problem, capitalism is’

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution.”

The Master Programmer had been in the temple for many years and could be relied upon to know these things. He thought for several minutes before replying: “I don’t see why not. It’s bloody well got everything else.”

Lee Camp makes a really good point about the gig economy. 8% of Uber/Lyft drivers are working at a financial loss, which means that 8% of Uber/Lyft drivers are literally paying money to give rides to strangers.

That ain't right and some research has indicated that those figures might even be higher.
