I'll probably vote for the devil I know, because I actually like the direction the city is moving in, largely. But also completely tossing a government every election makes for poor long term planning, as projects get scrapped by successors over and over again. I understand the intent of most of those projects, so I'm willing to give them some time to execute.

On trustees, I basically do a quick check to make sure none of them are batshit crazy. If they're sane, I abstain. If there are crazy candidates that risk doing societal harm in my ward, I'll vote against the crazy.

In circa 2003-2004, it was as close to on par with browsers at the time as it would get. I think the WebKit fork did damage to the momentum. By 2008 with KDE4, the rework that split it and Dolphin into to products was basically the final nail I think, as development work effectively stopped.

The name of the paper always cracks me up

Given Chrome's changes, this should also read: use Firefox or a non-chromium based browser, with an ad blocker.

At press time it’s still Lake Ontario, dipshit.

Beaverton slays

Definitely looks like a couch cover to me...

Sounds like you want the EU to collapse like the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The history of vetoes is very interesting.

$4M is nothing. That's like 50 bloggers in western Europe, or one regional rag with no readers. Or a Twitter troll farm in Hungary with 100 totally real humans and their handlers getting rich siphoning most of it off for themselves. A literal drop in the bucket.

The US has been funding foreign media for a century at least, steering narratives. It was part of their soft power strategy. This isn't surprising. Where people are freaking out is due to the shift in alignment.

The irony is that Chrome's rendering engine was a fork of WebKit, which was a fork of KHTML, a free and open source rendering engine created by KDE for Konqueror. They basically took something free, used Microsoft's "embrace, extend, extinguish" tactics on it. Now KHTML is vestigial, only found in the UserAgent string.

But we could have had a truly free open source cross platform browser with Konqueror.

Best we have now is Firefox, but the bulk of Mozilla's development funding comes from setting Google as the default search. So it is also hijackable.

I think it was still called Phoenix when I originally dropped it. Before it got renamed Firefox. Came back around last year after adblock stuff in chrome finally chased me away.

I'm in this comic and I don't like it.

Canada. China. Point still stands ;)
