For f*&% sake, I'm using JPEG XL on my website for some high res images that are amazingly well compressed using it, and especially to reduce the repository size on Codeberg. Only now discovered that only my niche main browser, Zen, renders them. What a stupid decision; their compression of high quality images is superior. Perfect to use alongside AVIF which does better in low quality images and illustrations and the like, or PNG which is best at preserving images containing text such as screenshots.

“Ecofeminists examine the effect of gender categories in order to demonstrate the ways in which social norms exert unjust dominance over women and nature. The philosophy also contends that those norms lead to an incomplete view of the world, and its practitioners advocate an alternative worldview that values the earth as sacred, recognizes humanity’s dependency on the natural world, and embraces all life as valuable.” —https://www.britannica.com/topic/ecofeminism

Yes. Because it goes hand in hand with Cynicism, my main guiding philosophy:

Cynic: “an adherent of an ancient Greek school of philosophers who held the view that virtue is the only good and that its essence lies in self-control and independence” —Merriam-Webster

I mean, they are misogynistic if they’re pulling shit like this. Regardless of what she has done.

They would've pulled that joke regardless of gender. Matt and Trey aren't misogynistic and I'd bet my life on that. Moreover, and I'll copy-paste my own answer from somewhere else:

Aside from this episode, what often saddens me is the realization that remarkably many men and women are so psychologically damaged to the point that their body dysmorphia leads them to think that this Eraserhead/Chucky-like plastic surgery is more aesthetically pleasing than normal aging. Zoom into this Wikipedia profile picture of Kristi Noem and tell me she doesn't look like a demon.

In general I do not condone ad hominem attacks, but to be fair, considering the Gestapo shit going on in the USA, the carpet does match the drapes.

Either:

  1. A smarter and wiser population able to discern and care enough that they're being cucked by Microsoft, overcoming the inertia to install Linux.
  2. Linux invents a game/feature that is so goddamn appealing that everyone wants in on the action.
  3. Preinstallation.

Why couldn't the cop just:

"Hey, love your music man!"
"Huh? My music?"
"Dude, you totally resemble Robert Smith from The Cure!"

"Ooh hahaha, thanks."
"So, what I actually approached you for, we've had a call that reported a shady looking person carrying a knife in this area. You seem fine, but just double checking because, well, we see weird shit sometimes and don't want to be negligent."
"Aha okay, fair enough. Well these look like knives perhaps but they are actually professional gardening tools. I can show you my masterpiece actually."
[…] after a 20 minute tour in his garden.
"So cool man, should get my ass into nature more too. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for your time and understanding. Have a good one."
"Cheers, see you around."

The title is misinformation. It should be "someone made a RAT downloadable on Arch Linux" because the Arch User Repository (AUR) ≠ official repository. From the Arch wiki:

The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a community-driven repository for Arch Linux users. It contains package descriptions (PKGBUILDs) that allow you to compile a package from source with makepkg and then install it via pacman. The AUR was created to organize and share new packages from the community and to help expedite popular packages' inclusion into the extra repository. This document explains how users can access and utilize the AUR.

A good number of new packages that enter the official repositories start in the AUR. In the AUR, users are able to contribute their own package builds (PKGBUILD and related files). The AUR community has the ability to vote for packages in the AUR. If a package becomes popular enough — provided it has a compatible license and good packaging technique — it may be entered into the extra repository (directly accessible by pacman or from the Arch build system).

Warning: AUR packages are user-produced content. These PKGBUILDs are completely unofficial and have not been thoroughly vetted. Any use of the provided files is at your own risk.

Is it normal to question and then release war criminals?!

Of course, we need to save prison space for people who grow Cannabis sativa plants, which is way worse than war or white-collar criminals such as bankers or politicians who murder/steal from the entire populace. Stocks must go up because we live on a planet with infinite resources. Eventually their wealth will trickle down to end poverty thanks to the goodness of the hearts of the ultrarich heroes. Greed is leftist propaganda.

You be the judge and reviewer ;)
I recognize it by name but I haven't tested it or anything.

PS My list wasn't meant to be exhaustive, sorry for the wrong impression. I'm sure there are great other Android browsers.
