The US Army published a measured response to the implicated poor behavior of an on duty servicewoman at ANC.

The Army would very much object to this being categorized as “against” Trump. Rather in defense of their service members and their correct actions.

The Army is careful not to overextend itself on political rhetoric and invite too much politics directly.

Sure, in a school with a few thousand kids that is still a few dozens students making AI generated nudes. Larher the school, bigger the problem.

Still, even assuming Rumor mill inflation drives this down by a factor of 10, and we slash it down, there are a handful of kids probably doing this, which isn’t surprising, bit is extremely upsetting.

Nope.

This is why anyone not huffing paint has stayed far away from NFTs.

See, the issue is over time they have carved more and more out of stock AOSP and made it closed.

The AOSP camera is garbage, but it doesn’t have to be. I think the Pixel line could still have done great with Google backporting these Improvments even on a delayed release window. But you have people literally stealing the camera apk and manually patching it to run on other devices because Google won’t do this.

Not to mention the sorry state of stock apps like calculator and calendar, notes, all ignored in favor of a competing google service… Which Google sometimes still ignores (Keep)

I’m happy Google made Pixels, but I think in the switch from Nexus to Pixel, the loser was the AOSP program, which now feels more like a skeleton that requires a full OSS team or corporation to finish it. Too many basic QoL changes are never backported.

This is from 4 years ago,. Again, stock browser without a busted extension causing a memory leak, the browser runs solid.

Run a real world test and you’ll see what I mean. Their RAM consumption is pretty much on par, and varies between update cycles but not wildly.

From 3 months ago, with graphs. Firefox and Chrome have had near identical performance for years.

“Moving the goal posts” I fail to see how I’m changing the conditions. I’m explaining a clear and obvious issue in that image which is why it’s not a good comparison.

Okay, extensions require container processes, for each one. Each new extension add to the RAM usage. For both Firefox and Chrome.

So already the comparison is flawed because Firefox now requires more base memory to load those extensions out the gate.

But now, Firefox is clearly showing Tampermonkey in the toolbar, a userscript extension. Let’s just say I run a script that fetches competing price info from temu.com when you browse a site like amazon. Not uncommon.

Let’s say I set that to loop, so it’ll work on infinite scroll pages too.

Okay, now if you leave your browser alone for an hour and it’s refreshing these scripts, guess what happens to the memory?

Every test of current builds of FF vs Chrome has found extremely negligible performance differences when both are stock installs.

I’m mad that

A) Major devs get it early B) Google has cut so many APIs out of it and pushed them into Play Services (Google only, closed) C) So much of the stock Android experience has been completely ignored and neglected now that Google launched the Pixel line. Unlike Nexus, Pixels are filled with “exclusives”, and instead of just being the best place to use android, it keeps features from others.

Oddly, most Japanese arcade games are running on Windows, for ease of portability in their market, which makes PC ports actually extremely straightforward.

Source: I got to use machines when they were doing a reboot and the whole interface loads up for the multi-game cabinets like a emulator frontend that just launches and kills the processes.

Try Floorp.

Also, maybe don’t compare clean chrome install to FF with a half dozen extensions installed. Extensions like Greasemonkey run literally any script you tell them to. An errant line of code and there goes your memory.

Try again, apples to apples dude.

Floorp is literally running with tons of optimizations and is shifting to the standard FF release instead of long term support build in their next major release. The optimizations though are like front and center, and it has TONS of privacy toggles and features.

That comparison is… Self serving let’s say.

Well for one I had no idea it was out, at all, and I didn’t see it on the ShowTimes listing recently. Did it just hit? Oenjust leave theaters?

I will learn how to make an orbital rocket just to fuck this things day up.

No, night is already too bright. You are not ruining this for me further.

These have always existed though. AirBnB isn’t an app listing, but offers nothing to that equation. Cabin and event space rentals have been a thing for decades. You don’t see Wedding Venues needing AirBnb you know?

True. Gamepass just takes that much further I think. Gasoline on the fire so to speak.

THANK YOU for seeing the writing on the wall. I keep reminding people of this.

Gamepass is unbeatable value. But if you give it market share you better believe after they jack the price a few more times, games willvstop providing a disc at all and just be “Gamepass exclusive” in the sense youvcan only subscribe to it, not buy it.

Extended stays and many hotels have in-room kitchenettes which is more than enough for me, but to each their own.

AirBnb is just a pain in the ass that hardly saves you money anymore. It’s often the same.

You want nice clean sheets, fresh linens, and nice amenities that go with it? Get a hotel.

You just absolutely have to have a home or flat vibe? Well be ready to do apartment laundry, sweep and vacuumvand make the beds and clean all the dishes and only enter and exit between these hours because the keypad doesn’t recognize you otherwise…

Greedy fucks ruined AirBnB because the company encouraged it and let them do so. And then fucked over the guests too many times. And now I’d rather stay in a reliable location than deal with the absolute hassle of their company or their company’s shitty clients.

Good riddance.

I reset my Android TV to stock before the ads, block all updates, and just run Plex and Netflix when I choose.

Probably going to take it further in the future and just use a little android media stick and nuke the SmartTV is entirely because of how badly it lags.

Absolutely insane how badly AndroidTVs perform after a year or so of ownership. If I could revert the core software updates I would.

Also, wifi causes the entire TV to become a laggy unusable mess. Has to be plugged in over ethernet. Absolutely unbelievable.

Its cool well just message the maintainers of Android to improve it, I’m sure it’s a mistake. Lemme go check who who’s behind it… /s
