It used to be opera. These days though, pretty much every browser is based on chrome, chromium or Firefox. To support modern websites as you specified is very complex, especially when taking into account security and performance. I don’t know of any lesser known browser engines if you expect to render common websites and support video, sound, animations and so on.
- Comment on Do some rich people date "poor" people? 5 days ago:
It happened to me one time, but she and her family were not really typical wealthy people. She was making 80 K a year, and her mother has something like 35 million, but her mother thought it was a huge victory to find eggs on clearance for $.80 instead of $1.50. So they didn’t really see themselves as rich, except for things like knowing if someone messed with them, they could sue them into oblivion.
My girlfriend was set to inherit 10 million and had plenty of money. I got tired of her acting like she was totally stressed out about $400 when that sort of money was never going to make any difference to her, especially since her career trajectory was likely to result in her making about 200 K within the next few years. I was making about 30,000 as an artist after coming back from a health problem where I was making zero, and I was less stressed about money than she was. So, we could’ve had a relationship where I enjoyed some sort of unusual luxuries that I could never afford myself, but they were so frugal that we didn’t. And being frugal had absolutely nothing to do with how they got their money. I think it was just a hold over from before her mom struck it lucky, from back when they were poor. But anyway, to her credit, my girlfriend never acted like they were better than me or like I was poor or as if I was with her because she was wealthy.

Very nice radishes. I used to see these called “beauty heart” but lately, more often watermelon radishes. I’m used to seeing ones that are light green on the outside.

The one with the two people is similar to Corporate Memphis, aka Alegria Art. It’s a style frequently abused by companies like Google.
- Comment on What happens if someone refuses to work in a socialist economy? 1 month ago:
That isn’t how socialism works. Socialism means that the workers control the means of production. It typically also means that necessary services such as healthcare are not run for corporate profit. Such government also typically give assistance to people who need it, rather than acting as if human life is worthless if it isn’t making capitalist profits for the owner class. In your case, if you were refusing to get education, employment, and contribute to society for whatever reason, that could be seen as some sort of psychological issue and most likely you would receive counseling. If you’re unable to work due to that, you may have assisted housing and a small stipend. But do you get like, a car? Luxury food? Vacations? No, because there is not a situation under socialism where “everything is free”. The bare necessities of life are supplied by the government, because that is, for one, smarter and more efficient than the American system where we do things like let preventable health conditions fester for years while people suffer and become untreatable rather than just giving them preventative care in the first place, which would save the entire society tons of money and increase overall productivity.

It sounds to me like a troll sort of thing, like how conservatives in the US frequently say that liberals and leftists “just want everything for free“.
- Comment on What happens if someone refuses to work in a socialist economy? 1 month ago:
Is this a real question? What socialist economy do you live in where “everything is free“?

Like, being self aware? Yes, that happens to me sometimes.

So, back in real life. At a protest? Yes, it’s valuable for white people to speak up, since they’re more difficult for police to persecute. Sorry you’re too uninformed and naice to realize this, so wise OP.

Pretty easy decision to block based on annoyingness level, thanks

Basically, if you can tell it’s obviously in April fools prank, it’s cheesy and sort of lame… And if not, it’s misleading.

- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 2 months ago:
They all do basically the same thing and can be connected through ActivityPub. However, they all have a totally different code base as they are separate projects, other than that Mbin is a fork of Kbin. As far as how it is being an admin or mod on any, I can’t speak from experience.

As you open them. I consider it an abysmal practice to collect hundreds of open tabs in the first place.

Anything opposing the government of China is an anathema to them, since apparently they love capitalist oligarchies.

Thanks. I’m a pretty dedicated alcoholic at this point, but I don’t screw around with otehr substances.

those things happened over 25 years ago, so not really
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 5 months ago:
the topic was “wow, I’ve been really lucky”. It’s okay, here were are and he’s 85 with Alzheimers and I’m almost 50. So we made it. Overall, though, if I had a complaint about him, it’s that he wasn’t very aware or engaged in my life from day to day.
- Comment on It would be cool if after you died you could see the top 5 times you almost died 5 months ago:
I’ve had a few good ones. I recounted them to my dad one time, I recall. Experimenting with prescription drugs as a kid (muscle relaxants when I was like 8), driving in the rain with no license when I was 15, excess opiates that one time, too many sedatives with alcohol a couple of times, and then the legit health problems… I had seizures from low blood glucose a time or two. Pretty exciting record imo

- Comment on Insulin 5 months ago:
The extra ridiculous thing is how they deny services that a doctor says are medically necessary… and not even in a reasonable way, in an abusive way. Like the system that automatically denies 60,000 things an hour or whatever, and count on people wasting tons of time to challenge it. Or when they have an ophthalmologist review your kidney disease and say that some treatment isn’t warranted. And that’s even after you’ve paid your stupid deductible costs for the year.
- Comment on Insulin 5 months ago:
A unit is a unit, so the dosages are the same. What varies is onset curve and length of action, so timing.
- Comment on Insulin 5 months ago:
The deductible system is ridiculous.
- Comment on Insulin 5 months ago:
The subs would be R and NPH, not the old mixed formulas like 70/30.
- Comment on Insulin 5 months ago:
The old formulas you can buy OTC for $25 are more inconvenient to use, but will indeed keep you from dying. The main difference between the R insulin and Novolog/Humalog are how quickly they act. Novolog starts lowering your glucose in about 60 minutes while the R takes 2 hours. Dietary management is not related to which insulin you’re using. So yes, the claim that OOP’s only alternative to paying $800 was to die is not true.
