[01:51]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3]: Every release of Firefox adds improved web standards support.
[01:52]	IsambardPrince	But it doesn't make a huge difference to site compatibility.

[01:52]	TR Bot	 AI-powered robot beats elite table tennis players | Science | The Guardian
[01:52]	IsambardPrince	Developers target Chromium browsers, and Firefox is missing hundreds of things real sites are using.
[01:52]	IsambardPrince	It's falling behind faster than it is catching up.
[01:53]	IsambardPrince	Long waits between major releases wasn't sustainable. But you don't need a major release to add web API support usually.
[01:54]		*FANTOM (~fantom@90.244.177.43) has joined #techrights
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	Before "skipping major version numbers", the Firefox 3 series changed a lot from start to end.
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	The idea used to be version numbers are arbitrary, but usually major versions meant something huge happened.
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	then there was a minor version, which could be new web APIs.
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	Then a third number which indicated bug fixes.

[01:56]	TR Bot	 Gibraltars monkeys eat mud to avoid upset stomachs from tourist junk food | Gibraltar | The Guardian
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	In Linux, there's never been any consistency with what a minor version meant.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	For a while, odd meant unstable branch, even meant stable branch.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	So you knew if you wanted stability, don't use 2.5, that's where features bound for 2.6 were landing.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	But then 2.6 came out and the very minor version numbers were being released with....major features.

[02:07]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I was making fun of Firefox on one of their posts.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	They said the user is in control of their AI experience.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	I ridiculed them for having a "Slop Master Switch" and making the user "opt out" while their browser is full of junk and falling apart.

[02:09]	MinceR	will they also review their gates ties?
[02:09]	MinceR	seems like a good idea
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Warren Buffett stopped "donating" to the Bill Gates foundation.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Due to the Epstein scandal.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Gates has been summoned to the House panel investigating the Epstein files.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	He says he's looking forward to that.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	He was shifting around nervously when they were asking him how integrated IE was in Windows 98.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Can't wait to see how he handles this.
[02:16]	MinceR	:>
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	IE was not very integrated into Windows 98. The integration was some badly written and massively unstable code added to the Explorer shell. It destabilized the shell and made it leak resources.
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	If you used 98Lite  (Full Version) or Revenge of Mozilla, it could remove IE and put in the shell from Windows 95 b and just patch it to say "Windows 98" in the Start Menu.
[02:19]	IsambardPrince	The OS worked fine for the most part without those components. Office 97 still worked but a few pieces that needed IE didn't, but Word, PowerPoint, and Excel did.
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	But not Outlook or HyperHelp (Help in the hypertext format, regular .hlp files still worked)
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	Upgrading to Windows Me or XP was broken, but Windows Me was very bad and Windows XP required a faster computer than what you probably had anyway.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	And Windows 98 continued to get new versions of many things like DirectX 9 redists until March 2006.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	And then some compatibility with XP through KernelEx.
[02:22]	IsambardPrince	If you wanted to "upgrade" to Windows Me or XP, you could do a "clean install" of either, except with the "Windows Me Promotional Step-Up for Users of Windows 98".
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	That version did not include a bootable disc. It was just the program you could start from Windows.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	It was a "special" discounted version that retailed for $29 for people who didn't skip from Windows 95 to Me.
[02:36]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: Something good finally.
[02:36]	IsambardPrince	I got a email from the electric company.
[02:36]	IsambardPrince	There's a new Low Income Discount.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	It either caps my electric costs at 3 or 6% of our household income.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	6% in my case because we have electric heat.

[06:01]	IsambardPrince	The only direct knowledge I have of BMO bank is that they financed John's car, a 2019 Ford Fiesta SE Hatchback. If I recall correctly, I had to go in with a check to make the payments because they charged an online payment fee if you didn't have deposit accounts at BMO.
[06:01]	IsambardPrince	He told me that after I moved out he had trouble paying his bills and he thought it would be a brilliant idea to let a "friend" take over the car payment with no formal contract or anything. The "friend", according to my ex, never gave him any money for the car payments, and disappeared and began using the vehicle for Doordash and Uber. By the time my ex found out where the car was, there was severe engine damage from a lot of hard 
[06:01]	IsambardPrince	driving and no oil changes. Eventually the city of Chicago towed it off, and he still ended up paying BMO.
