What about the Vatican? Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition Roman Crusaders to just go and take a claim on the Land of Canaan!
Note to self, see if I can self-host Piped
In my particular case: because I still need to sync my subscriptions and playlists, as well as the support for adding comments.
Nightly user here, does this mean I no longer need to do the song and dance of manually adding my addons list to the browser anymore? Guess I can finally switch to stable!
See, this is one of the reasons why I haven’t listened to music in almost a decade. Paying fairly to artists is provably unaffordable for the average joe, unless a shady workaround like the streaming service subscription exists (and even then, that barely fills the belly of the artists that dedicate exclusively to art).
Google’s Polymer library working better on the Chromium engine has been known for years, and Mozilla has been doing its best to keep up with Google’s wrenches in the engine, this seven-year-old bug being one of many examples: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1367205

There is a Pokemon competitive player named Chuppa Cross IV. Which means not only that somebody was unironically named Chuppa, but also his father, and his grandfather, and his greatgrandfather as well.
While online I have most of my items under lock and key, my personal computer at home is set to boot automatically with my password (since the attack vector of “having the feds raid my home” is fortunately not an issue for me). So in the rare case that I’m no longer available, my family can just get my user names and passwords from my computer
I expect to see distros that use Flatpak as its exclusive package manager, even for the bare-metal, in the near future. Also, Linux as a remote desktop on the cloud will probably be attempted at a larger scale, given that Windows 12 is rumored to try that route.
My mom likes to do assorted crafts, so we have a few painted adornments, even a 3D painting of sorts she made using some specialized putty and acrylic paint. It looks real nice, I should upload a picture of it later.
Expecting Colombia, Peru, Chile and South Africa to be next on the pumping
