I can't see the numbers in future getting any better, unless big changes are made. Many pilgrims are quite old, since some need many years to save up enough for the journey, and of course the temperature's only going to be going up (even after La Niña).

It's part of the rituals to get the timing exactly right, so it's not like it can be moved to cooler months, like has been proposed for the Summer Olympics. It is moving earlier by a week and a half each year (because of the Islamic calendar) but when you're talking 51.8C that's not really moving the needle.

I'd heard talk of health-monitoring bracelets, which seems sensible.

I forgot that Lance Armstrong was in this - quite fitting for a satire.

Gotta love the Register

@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website here's to you, everyone's favourite stargazing memelord! Without you, Lemmy would be a quieter and less funny place. Cheers!

Its IMDb page is a bit sus: the reviews are an almost unbroken stream of gushing 10 star reviews, but there's plenty of people voting it 1 star too. Astroturfing or just polarising?

That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization [...], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.

The article goes out of its way to not do what you're accusing it of. I don't understand how you've managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.

I assume you're in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they'd go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?

I started but then I noticed the scrollbar and realised it's a lot longer read than I have the attention for right now - to the "read later (yeah right)" pile with you!

I think a lot of sci-fi is a warning, e.g. almost every distopian setting - I don't think that's hopeful, unless you argue that we're sensible enough to heed said warnings.

I'm curious to know the impact of ad-blockers - I didn't see you it mention in your post or blog, so I'm assuming you tested with stock browsers. Also, did you clear history and data from your Android install since it sounds like you'd normally use that?

I'm assuming that ad-blockers would be a net benefit to both battery and performance, given that in a way it's an optimisation. The boost from removing data and computation (that the user doesn't want anyway) must be far higher than the overhead of the plugin, right?

I thought Jurassic World Dominion was the final one? Wasn't that why they brought back so many of the original cast? And it was pretty terrible, and dragged heavily towards the end.

Hollywood is addicted to established IPs, find some courage and be inventive again, please.

You're forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It's definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.
