Used it ever since iCab went away. Tried all the rest, they don’t measure up.

I DO get tired of skating along looking for the ?

I install and use FF from my home folder. As a result, I can simply copy my ‘old’ firefox folder and .mozilla folder (containing the FF config files) into the new distro’s home. That way all of the features, settings, and extensions remain the same, regardless of the distro I’ve moved to.

Inside the .mozilla/Firefox/ folder you’ll find separate folders for your profiles. The ‘about:profiles’ window lets you switch between them.If you want to experiment with one, make an archive of its folder. If you try something that doesn’t work out, you can throw the messed-up profile away and extract a fresh copy from your archive, all’s well. There are also many files INSIDE that profile folder you can toy with. Many, many options in this setup.

Yeh! I first saw this weeks ago and missed all but the motion on the right. Keep an eye on the right side of that building across the road - yowsah!

Easy to complain about it, but when you don’t offer a better alternative, it leads nowhere.

Sit down sometime, make a realistic model of tidal power usage, and then figure out how long it’d before before ‘the moon being pushed away’ becomes visible. Once you can do that, then come back here and tell us about your calculations.

Of course the tides ‘rubbing against’ the Earth’s surface have been ‘pushing the moon away’ at a far, far greater rate for billions of years. Big deal.

That planetary core thing will probably be quite a way off, tho it last for millions of years. But the whole planet is swathed in tides, in-and-out.

Not sure on the numbers, but in videos I’ve seen dozens of places where -all- the local power cud be tidally-generated, and I suspect there’d be hundreds of places around the world. Largely depends on the geology around the local tides.

Hypercard (Bill’s baby) was great; it’s HyperTalk was a very cool alternative for many “usual” programming tasks. After it died, I kept using it until the web took off … then, in a couple of hours, I used HyperTalk to make an app to convert my stack content into HTML pages. If it had only had networking built in, it’d probably have become the (much better) basis for the Web.

Linux Mint puts out a great OS for a few thousand per month. With the start it’s got, Firefox could go on for decades without more income.

You do, except in cases where the app bugs you to update daily, like Firefox (unless you agree to let it update auto whenever they want it to.)

It’s been a long time since I used R-Box. If one would suit your purposes, the appls VLC and SM Player both take playlists and have built-in, easy-to-use EQ. (My needs are EQ are modest right-now.) See VLC’s ‘tools’ menu or SMPlayer’s ‘Audio/Equalizer’ (once something’s playing).

If you were to switch to using Pipewire for audio, the EasyEffects program has EQ in it’s big-bag-o-tricks.

Hawking proposed in 2010 that BH can’t collapse beyond the event horizon, that there isn’t one. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/hawking-meant-black-holes

In 2014 Vaz said the boundary is outside the Schwarzschild radius. http://arxiv.org/abs/1407.3823

If they’re right, then there’s no inside to be trapped in.

Isn’t another location

“previous” and “subsequent” locations in space are memory phenomena, High-energy location changes are closer together in memory. Our “time” is a bookshelf of physical events in space, one following another. Of course they’re sequential, so it was convenient to ‘measure’ the ‘distance’ between the books for purposes of prediction. But we’ve invented that ruler, then forgot we made it up. Many indigenous people have no ‘time’, and they manage.

If a one-ton boulder rolls down an Earthly hill in my direction and I don’t move, what happens is not a manmade concept. Call it what you will.

Time on the other hand exists only as a useful mental tool to describe change. When I repeat the experiment of going to sleep, when I wake up it’s still always now. That experiment -always- produces the same result.

If there’s a ‘Good Place’, then there’s one rule of ten that ALMOST EVERYONE ignores. Kings, popes, game hunters and every ‘Christian soldier’ pretends it’s complicated. It’s a very simple rule, with 4 words using only 16 letters. A 5-year-old can understand it. There’s no escape clause. Ignore it and you’ll not get there.

I’ll admit to mostly checking into Bluesky for a month in January. The user count is much higher but the quality-post count lower … unless you’re into phographs of cats and mushrooms, product-promoters, and political opinions. Forget any quality posts - a 300-character limit (but unlimited photo sizes) and 60-second audio/video limit encourage superficial sheepiality.

Not a desert, but next to one, and the water prices are higher. Probably 1000 lurkers for every liker, let alone comments … unless you’re an ‘name’ into self-promotion. Some names deliver inside info you’ll not see here.

Lemme delivers as much quality as bsky does. But you have to scroll thru more crap there.

There is A LOT of radioactive matter below the earth’s surface … constantly generating heat.

“About 50% of the Earth’s internal heat originates from radioactive decay. Four radioactive isotopes are responsible for the majority of radiogenic heat because of their enrichment relative to other radioactive isotopes: uranium-238 (238U), uranium-235 (235U), thorium-232 (232Th), and potassium-40 (40K).” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth’s_internal_heat_budget

Didn’t see that in the article, sounds interesting … where can I read more?
