and frankly people got really pushy about a thing they don’t even pay for

He doesn’t owe anyone anything, and he can decide to run his open source project just as he pleases, but it could have gone so much better. People are mostly just disappointed, I feel like.

Or in America, “We’re going to sew you back up, but first, please enter credit card details and sign here regarding your payment plan”

What’s the value proposition here? Free no-questions-asked replacement if it breaks? Free upgrades when new models come out (though they have no real incentive to keep developing new “forever mice”)?

If my mice on average last, say, 6 years and cost $175 (I splurged on a high-end one last time), the subscription will have to be less than $2.40/month, and since customers absolutely hate subscriptions, especially if there’s no real benefit, probably even less than $1.50/month for most to even consider it.

In fact the Logitech mouse before my current mouse lasted 12 years and cost me $75, so that’s a max subscription cost of 50 cents/month for it to be comparable.

I’ve had about 1000+ tabs open before, but I’ve gotten better at keeping them under control. It’s very normal for me to hit a couple hundred, once in a while, though, before I go through them all and weed out the ones I’m done with. Right now I only have 24, but 19 of them are my pinned tabs that are used all the time.

Shamelessly stolen joke. Here’s the original tweet, which I think is much better too: https://twitter.com/0xAsync/status/1607541407937339392

Or for those who don’t want to visit Twitter:

Which is why I’m not donating right now, even as a satisfied user of Firefox for 15+ years.

I’ll happily donate 5 bucks now and again to Firefox development, but I don’t want my donation to go to a 5-6 million dollar CEO salary.

For everyone who’s read Discworld, I imagine that’s Dibbler.

Like == but more strict. The == operator will do type conversion, so 0 == '' will actually be true, as an example. Sometimes (honestly, most times) you may want to compare more strictly.

Stronger magnet

Slam!

Very randomly. Some of them consist of only four legs, the tail and the head - no body.

It was a joke based on: “The average pack size […] in Europe 5.5 wolves”

As a European, I gotta tell you, it’s super creepy seeing those half wolves walk around with their packs… You guys are lucky your wolves decided to split up in 8-packs instead.

I read it as hairdryer at first

Ok, you’ve convinced me that I need a shitload of fries. Off to the hairdryer I go!

I’ve found that they don’t always fit properly in all female Micro USB connectors, but they are quite interesting.

What about the predictable beginning and the predictable middle part, between the beginning and the end? I usually just skip those too.
