Plus Jesus loved renaming people so there's that.

If I remember correctly, yes. There was a pain in the ass a few years ago when Firefox switched from their own add-on system to one that matched Chrome's, despite Firefox's being more powerful and mature. The goal was to make it easier to port Chromes (arguably) greater variety of add-ons to Firefox.

It was an unpopular decision and it was the start of a downward decline for Firefox. People that had their browser "just the way I like it" found themselves starting fresh essentially, and without some of their favourite add-ons.

The number of people that do this is not going to even remotely shift the usage share percentage.

Firefox breaks...

(Long unnecessary nonsense that isn't applicable to anyone else)

Maybe our developers should make our tools more standard-compliant

lol. So who broke it?

Mamaw was a hound for it. And that's okay, JD!

Are you sure it was an Irish plantation owner? Most of the time Irish people in the Caribbean were working on plantations, not owning them. From what I've read, the person in question was a British person from Antrim - which is on the island of Ireland, but is part of the UK and was itself "plantationed" by Britain.

It would be weird for example to refer to George Orwell as Indian, Louis Theroux as Singaporean or Duke Wellington as Irish - after all, "being born in a stable does not make one a horse" as the Duke put it when 'accused' of being Irish.

Not having a personality distinct from your work is not the same as being a workaholic.

"Rust Belt" isn't literal, it refers to an area of the US where industrial manufacturing declined significant in the second half of the 20th century. It's called that in part at least because its previous moniker was "Steel Belt".

Uh, yeah. And there's absolutely no soft g sound in what he says. The word clearly ends in a hard sound.

Unless you hear him pronouncing it with a hard G, I don't know how you can hear college. It ends with a hard sound (voiced plosvie).

To me it actually sounds like co-ed because there's definitely a c/k at the start and d at the end, and a blustering moron's mouth noises in the middle, but I don't see how they get from that to college and I do see how you get from that to coloured. Why he wouldn't own "co-ed" I don't know because sounding like a behind the times old white dude is very much their brand

Well I've definitely given it a fair go.

It's had so many free updates because it is a visual game and so every reason to make a new trailer is new marketing. Every trailer is 3 second jump cuts of something visually interesting. Ocassionally giving away that the gameplay is still "aim the same tool that does the same thing at a rock, plant or creature until a number goes up in the ship. Use the bigger number in the ship to improve how high the number is allowed to go in the ship. Use the ship to get to a new rock, plant or creature. Oh and learn words?" I just genuinely do not understand what people are getting from it. Maybe there's a plateau in the point in the game I'm at and I am simply another 4 hours of pointing at rocks, plants and creatures until I unlock the fun, but I am old. I don't have time to unlock the fun. To be fair I've never been the grinding sort.

And I'm definitely into "explore space and build things in a non-story, non-linear way"

OK Lemmy's being weird but here is where the screenshot of 2500 hours in Kerbal Space Program goes.
