You are probably right. My memories are of using Firefox on a PC with a mechanical hard drive. Back then Chrome seemed to have the upper hand. But these days Firefox loads instantly when you have an SSD. So yes, please ignore my earlier argument.

How about Spookie’s House of Jumpscares?

At least I think that’s what it’s called?

Interesting. I did not know that.

I remember Chrome starting nearly instantly. But that could be that it’s doing some preloading. I haven’t used Chrome in years though. 2 seconds for Firefox startup sounds about right yes.

As for memory, I wouldn’t say Firefox is great. But I often have a lot of tabs open at once while I am researching some things and Firefox is just rock solid for me. It has had some memory leaks in the past but they seem to be mostly gone now. You’d probably find browsers that use less memory but I dare to question if they would use less memory than Firefox in my usecase.

In an unrelated note I am curious which modern browser (in Linux) uses the fewest amount of memory.

My advice would be the latter. That case you can always use the same browser, no matter what OS you decide to use in the future.

Firefox has been slower to startup for a long time. Maybe a few seconds slower compared to Chrome. But it has always made up for it in it’s memory usage. The more tabs you open, the worse Chrome gets.

I think I started using it in the 1.x times. I remember all the flaws it’s had since. I’ve given lots of other browsers a try in the meantime but none come close to Firefox. They might be good enough for others but for power users Firefox is the way to go.

I was expecting someone to mention all the bugs and crashing of the game, hehe. That is something I would not miss allright.

If they give it fair weather, I’m in.

[edit]

And reintroduce features from Daggerfall that have since been removed.

I never got through the first mission, sadly. It seems like there is never enough time.

True, true.

What is there to talk about? We only know what’s being shared outside of China. Which is not a lot. I watch the China show, which seems one of the few sources that doesn’t just regurgitate the government propaganda but we can only do so much.

The best course of action for her is to leave China. Maybe not an option for her due to personal reasons, but staying in Shenzhen is her choice.

no, it was the power LED

And then you find out they were mainly working from the cloud.

Good idea. i’ll do the same.

This got dark fast.

R.I.P. mother and son.

They have a nice discount on their games on their own webpage. Too bad it requires a credit card or paysafecard.

I’ll probably be pirating for now.

The problem I have with this is that if he’s known for these things and he knows it, why not hire someone to do the communication for him instead of making the same mistakes every time. Or is he too stubborn or not smart enough to realise the damage he is doing to his brand?

This is the main issue I have with Linus. Doubling down on dumb takes.

Now that you mention the older games you own. It might be worth it to make some backups in the form of iso’s or copies. In case they get disk rot at some point. I think some of them must be close to 30 years old now.

Funny you mention Strife. I never really knew about Strife until much later when I found out about it. I have played the shareware version of Heretic quite a lot. But what really fascinated me back then where the early Grand Theft Auto and Carmageddon games. I guess my interest for cars translated into my games as well. Since those are technically open world driving games beside other things.
