You’re absolutely right, but that’s the pre-smartphone era, not the pre-cellphone era.

Ok, I have an experiment for you. Go touch some really hot chili peppers, then wash you hands. With soap. Three times, if you like. Then rub your eyes. Then tell me that felt absolutely fine. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Capsaicin is non-soluble in water and basically doesn’t wash off.

DLSS has no application in AI, though, so that point is not really valid here.

Again this fake quote? I know it’s justa mindless copy-and-paste, but at least put it into context. Marx never wrote that. Here’s page 651 of the Moore translation, and here’s a discussion of the origin of that quote.

Because why would you do that? Do you also have a chain store where servers pour sulphuric acid over your cup to show that it doesn’t melt?

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I was asking for a statement in support of your initial claim that turned out to be completely wrong: they didn’t duplicate the code upon creation of the project, they didn’t create a fork under their control, and they don’t make independent changes to the code.

What they are doing is customising the current code of Firefox at the time of compiling the LibreWolf project. If you really insist that that is a fork, then one of us doesn’t understand what a fork is, and I’m not going to continue a fruitless argument.

Interesting, because there is no mention of that anywhere on their website. Indeed, the workflow overview in their source repo clearly states that in order to build LibreWolf, you need the current Firefox source tree, and this is reflected in the Makefile, which fetches the Firefox source tarball associated with the same version. Nothing points to a repository they created at any prior point.

Can you link to some official statement that supports this claim?

LibreWolf is not a fork, though. It’s a customised version of FF, so every shit they introduce has to be painstakingly removed by the LW team, provided that is even possible. (See Manifest V3 in Chrome.)

She regularly posted on Mastodon, and during the last month there was a post every few days about how much she was in pain. It was heartbreaking really, and finding out that she lost that battle didn’t make it any better.

sigh If more than 7 seats out of 100 are filled, you will make a profit. Happier?

I’m not going to comment on your second paragraph, since it doesn’t contradict what I wrote. And if I were a GEMA shill, I probably wouldn’t provide links for my claims, but you do you.

All of that is incorrect.

You can check the GEMA fees here: https://www.gema.de/portal/app/tarifrechner/preisrechner - I had it calculate the fees for a 4-hour concert with 100 seats and an entrance fee of 5 Euros, and the total GEMA fee is 31,35 €. If all seats are filled, that is less than 10% of your income. Certainly a lot of money, but a far cry from “all of said fee or even more”.

Secondly, if you are not a GEMA member and all the music you play is non-GEMA (and written by yourself), you don’t have to pay anything, see here for example: https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/gema (central quote: “Der GEMA-Pflicht unterliegen dabei alle Musikwerke, für die sie die Verwertungsrechte erhalten hat”, translation: “GEMA liability applies to all musical works for which it has received exploitation rights.”)

I don’t like the GEMA either, but let’s stay with the verifiable facts, please.

Really, nobody is going to point out that “cupboard” = “cup” + “board”?

English is a pretty simple language to learn, but the pronunciation isn’t part of that simplicity. It’s especially tough to unlearn wrong pronunciations you’ve cultivated for years. In my case (for instance), sword (which I pronounced like “word”) and realm (re-alm).
