Chrome has achieved its utter dominance through its sheer push on Google.com, YouTube and all the high traffic channels they own.

If chrome is unbundled, it’ll have to compete on equal terms with Firefox. It will truly and thoroughly help.

Oh man, it’s a nightmare and I just happened to be lucky. I ended up buying one of those passively cooled router-esque N100 boxes out of China (AliExpress) and while it was a total punt it turned out to be a great experience, and their customer service was actually good too.

Kingdel was the make/vendor and it’s been rock solid.

I moved to an OPNsense router a couple of years ago and I’ve never looked back. Hell is shitty consumer routers.

Der er selvfølgeligt et række hvis’er her. Det hele kommer an på Trump, som det har gjort siden 2016. Hvis han begynder at så tvivl om NATO så tror jeg absolut ikke det er usandsynligt at Putin prøver at presse på Baltikum.

Hvis Ukraine falder så er Baltikum næste led i kæden. Putin har som erklæret mission at genskabe Sovietunionen. Du mener ikke det påvirker vores sikkerhed eller forøger risikoen for en krig?

Yes, I’ve got a detailed plan and I’m sticking to it. In 12 years from now, my youngest will be 15 and I can start winding down. I can’t imagine doing nothing, but with some part time work I think my wife and I can stretch to make it work. Requires that the oldest self-fund through university, which I had to do, so I’m ok with that.

Currently 47, which is probably substantially older than most people here. The concept of “retirement” (winding down) seemed so far away (didn’t start saving for it until late twenties) but compounding interest really is the most powerful force in the universe.

Of course if the stock crashes, plans may have to change. I’m slowly moving towards a stronger bond mix but that lowers return and pushes dates out. It’s a hard balance.

I think I’ve accounted for everything that one can plan for; late life care costs, risk of both my wife and I living to 100 (in a financial sense, we should all be so lucky), higher spend until 75, then lowered. There’s a risk that the UK removes universal state pensions, which would drastically alter my plans.

I’m not saying don’t federate. I’m saying don’t talk about that as the primary feature when you’re enticing people to sign up to it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Agreed. There should have been a default place to sign up from the beginning. Leaning on federation as a feature is something very few people care about until they really care about it. The mass adopter just looks at where their favourite celebrity or talking head is and then move there.

I didn’t. Thanks for the shoutout, I’ll have a look.
