Basically, the next Firefox update will "check" how you use your browser, and try to suggest useful addons that would be a good match for your usage patterns.

There are a few brilliantly simple copyright schemes though. One of the best ones I found out about was on the StarCraft CD (I think?) where the outer layer of the disk was circular and played the exact same message a certain number of times before jumping to another part of the disk.

I tend to use bright schemes wherever I go so my terminal is usually pure black on white, cannot stand it when non block solid colours are used on a terminal screen, it just isnt right to me :P

Almost makes you want to make your own browser. That doesn't support blackjack.

GOG's Winter Sale is on, and they're giving away copies of classic adventure game Full Throttle Remastered. You can also get Fantasy General (a classic DOS-era turn-based strategy) if you by anything, and Everspace, a very pretty space-themed shooter.

There's a bunch of "reasonably functional" GUI based rendering engines, like Dillo and NetSurf, freely available. They have not been taken over by fascists, nor been forked by major corporations. They just fell way, way behind on the compatibility treadmill, so they work nicely with 80% of the websites on the Internet but fail horribly on the 5% of websites people care most about.

GOG has recently added more games to their GOG Connect service (add games purchased from Steam to your GOG account for free): https://www.gog.com/connect

that is neither free games nor giveaways.

Debian's "cpulimit" package is apparently a competing project really named LimitCPU, which doesn't have a public issue-tracker. Its last update was in 2017, though, so maybe it's a bit more lively...

Hard to believe I loved Smash 64 so much as a kid.

Powershell is annoying

it needs some commands to be prefixed with .\

and you also need to run some specific command before you can execute a PowerShell script with the necessary privileges (can't just run Powershell as an Administrator).

Butbutbut electric cars are the one and only true solution! Muh batteries!

Nevermind that you still need dead dinosaur juice (often coming from communist shitholes like mine!) for all those plastic parts (which on modern cars means pretty much everything except for tires, powertrain, and frame), also lubricants (cars have wheels, and by extension, moving parts), and mining all that lithium involves dealing with all class of nasty poisons (but who cares about those poor Australian/Chilean/Argentinean miners anyway?). And of course all those electrons that you have to squirt back into your batteries have to come from somewhere else, yet nobody wants cheap nukes because MUH CHERNOKUSHIMA ISLANDS, and you can't put hydro dams in most of the world, so let's keep burning dirty coal on Someone Else Backyard while we pretend that solar/wind are the definitive silver bullet (hint: they aren't).

But hey, banning internal combustion engines is so much easier, and as a bonus, it attracts voters and enlarges Musk ePeen...
