i'll wait til it's a finished product (1.0) before looking at it, so it might have a chance of staying on my hard drive :ninja:

honestly, the name "firefox" sounds stupid to me, firebird made more sense :yes: i mean, who wants an icon of a flaming fox on their desktop? :blink:

I think this browser has been fed steroids.... It is going fast but takes up memory like hell. I am probably going to wait until I can get a better system to test.

I found nothing that justifies why FF should be installed other than "get away from IE" part. FB 0.7 works great and IMHO, i think is good enough for people to switch from IE.

Using it now, liking it :)

esp the installer and that all my bookmarks were intact (Y)

had one unfortunate incident with a firebird nightly awhile back :pinch:

Only extension that imported was adblock, need to reinstall googlebar pronto.

so basically, only a few people who weren't already using firebird/phoenix upgraded to firefox.. otherwise its all previous users upgrading their browser.

interesting

yeah, the people who really love the browser are the first to upgrade, but most people won't. it's just not well-known yet. maybe i can get some people to try it out. :ninja:

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
