- Comment on Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome? 3 hours ago:
Well kinda. The Mozilla “Project” goes back to 1998. The Mozilla “Foundation” to 2003. As said, Phoenix was released in 2002 and then renamed to Firefox in 2004.
But in that 4 years they worked on the Netscape code to make Phoenix, they were as well funded by AOL, or not?
- Comment on Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome? 4 hours ago:
Is there are even a “before”? The very first release of Firefox was in 2004. Google started paying Mozilla in 2004. The only time there was no funding from Google was 2014-2017. In that time Yahoo took over that part.
There was however the 2 year period from 2002 - 2004 when Firefox was still “Phoenix” which was mostly funded by AOL.
To my knowledge, there is not a single moment in the life of Firefox when it has had to get by without external funding and 95% of that time, it was google.

Out of curiosity, how long does he need? If he manages to do that in an hour or max of 2, then this is not bad at all.

Right? In germany there is a lot named after her. e.g. The Institute for Nuclear Research in Berlin is the “Hahn-Meitner-Institut” (after her and Otto Hahn). There are countless Schools and streets named after her all over the country.
- Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? 2 months ago:
“Synchronous 26” and “Synchronous 320” sounds super weird. Are you combining RAM with different clock frequencies / timings? that can and often will cause problems like instabilities and crashes. i would take out the one you added and try the games again.
- Comment on Anon has a German girlfriend 4 months ago:
I can guarantee you that is very wrong. In fact we do it all the time. All the time, really. We even make whole comedy series and films about Hitler. And it is a very popular topic for jokes and e.g. stand-up.
Humor is a good way to process the past.
However what the greentext descibes is just low-effort and simply lazy and unfunny. Put a little effort into your Nazi jokes ffs.

It was posted yesterday with a different video that goes more into details what this is all about, the old records and how these were achieved and what the “true killscreen” is, etc. I didn’t think it would actually be that interesting, but I watched the whole thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuJ5UuknsHU

Have you compared it to other upscales? there is a 720p from icecracked that looks excellent and to my knowledge even beats redefined by a noticeable margin.

- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
My bad. I was sure i read somewhere they are hosted in germany. guess i was wrong. Still, hosting or linking to illegal stuff inside the EU is probably still a very bad idea. apart from it violating the ToS of the hoster (Hetzner).
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
Lemmy.world is hosted on a german Server and afaik run by german people. Hosting or even just linking to anything piracy related in germany would be suicide.
