Didn't Texas say last year that they wanted to try being independent from the USA? I'm not from the US (anymore) so I'm not sure but I kind of remember that being said.

Isn't this like testing the waters in some way?

Honestly, I use FF as my primary on Linux, and Waterfox as my primary on Windows (just because it runs better than FF on Windows fir some reason). Vivaldi I use as a secibdary browser when:

1. I need to visist a website that for some stupid reason doesn't open on FF
2. When I'm studying or need to have several tabs open at the same time (by several I mean 100+, Vivaldi has really good tab management)

EDIT: I sent the reply without answering the question, I'm dumb. Anyways, some people like Vivaldi, some don't. If you ask in a Privacy forum (and especially Lemmy) you will find less favorable opinions of Vivaldi.

My suggestion at the end of the day is just try it out and try to make your own research on how it was created and who is in charge. As I've undestood until now (don't know if it has changed) is that the only thing proprietary about Vivaldi is the design(? Idk, someone correct me if I'm wrong) and that the CEO is not an.asshole (yet)

So what is the next step for Google? Raising YT TV to $100/month? $200/month? Raising Youtube Premium to $30/month? Google one to $200/month? Laying off employees?

I mean they gotta keep hitting that 5% growth every year, right? When does it stop? When there's nobody else at the company? When people can't afford anything anymore and go bankrupt?

When are companies gonna understand that growth for the sake of growth every year is just not feasable?

Just started using their search engine about 2 months ago, as soon as I heard the news I just dropped it.

I like the idea but if I want to send data to bing I'd use bing tbh.

When do you guys think they (companies/rich people/shareholders(?)) will realize that growth for the sake of growth is not viable and there will be a point of stagnation? Like... What are they gonna do, keep raising prices until nobody can b uy anything anymore?

They can obviously track pirated installs.

They use computational predictions and quantum mathematical calculations through a software called trust me bro.

Oof I've had an experience with these meds...

I used to take Humira for 5 years but my country stopped delivering it (I used to live in Venezuela), then I moved ti the US and started Humira again, but it was about 30-50% effective only, I still had a lot of pain

I then went through Cosentyx and Taltz, none worked. Then I tried Enbrel, same effectiveness, got it through a foundation. Healthcare didn't want to cover it and the foundation didn't approve me if I had Healthcare.

Got sick in the US, lost all my money (due to lack of money), so I spent the little I had saved to return to my country, moved to Brazil and I'm about to start Golimumab (Simponi) tomorrow, hopefully it works because I haven't gotten medication in 2 months and the pain feels unbearable.

Having said all this, if there is a speck of a chance that this helps people with AS and other similar conditions, it would make me happy. Having this kind of pain is unbearable.

Sorry for the long comment, I suddenly wanted to rant about this!

Hope it's not a stupid question but would this kind of thing work for ankylosing spondylitis??

I ask because I suffer from AS the doctor's that I've gone to are always arguing whether it's an autoimmune or an autoinflammatory disease, and on the web it says that the underlying mechanism is either of the two as well.

So it's not clear to me whether it's one or the other, or if itimplies the same thing. I've read a huge deal about AS but I'm not really good at biology or medicine to understand a lot.

Honestly the only reason I'm commenting -and asking- here, is because I want to have hope that this actually leads up to something that can help me stop this fucking pain that makes me feel like I want to die (figuratively) but I'm afraid of this being a clickbait article.

Also my English is not the best so sorry for any mistakes and for the long comment.

Isn't this ok? I'm not saying it's better... just OK?

I don't know if this is just me but why is there always a race to be the "most popular/larger platform"?

Isn't this kind of race to be the most popular the reason why a lot of platforms/companies/jobs/games/etc are suffering today? Growth for the sake of growth and forcing something to be more popular just because it needs to be more popular is just kind of sad.

It's not like "corporate fediverse/lemmy" needs more users... At least this is my opinion.

That's weird, I use Waterfox and I occasionally get to do some kind of "puzzle", but other times I just need to click the reCaptcha and it will confirm itself (with the green check)

Ironically, when I use Vivaldi, the captcha doesn't even load, and when it loads, it says it's wrong regardless of the answer I give it, so I'm always locked and that's quite literally the only reason I stopped using Vivaldi.

On Edge I need to fill in puzzles ALL THE TIME, that's also why I stopped using Edge (apart from the bloatware and the uBlock not working there)

I think this is better tbh, I personally don't like it when piracy forums/sites/whatever piracy related thing goes too mainstream. Maybe it's gatekeeping, I don't know, I just don't want another Z-Library incident.

Either way, they probably aren't even against piracy, they're probably just lazy and don't want to deal with any of the issues they could potentially face down the line.

Edit - grammar

Yep, every driver is up to date. In fact I just did a fresh windows install once again, updated all drivers once again, and the problem still persists.

The games however are stored in a secondary ssd, so the next thing I'm gonna do is install them on the main, and some of them on an external one, just in case it's a faulty SSD.

If that's not it then I have no clue.
