Nothing changed. Mine used to fly up until just a couple of days ago. That's why it's so annoying. There's something going on.
It makes sense but the issue is that it's taking the browser over one full minute to unfreeze after I open it up. Completely unresponsive.
It started just a few days ago, out of the blue. It's up to date, hardware acceleration is off, etc. At this point it's become unusable.
Any idea? It takes literally over one minute before the browser is responsive after opening it. This started to happen a few days ago, suddenly. It's up to date, hardware acceleration is off, etc. It's become unusable, which is a shame because I wouldn't want to switch browsers. nostr:note1ym96rhsj79rzlhyxwde9ahplnfmnf09kl2u4c49k95gppvu2u6dq7p2rhl
Tech savvy nostriches, please let me know if this is normal.
All I've got open is one single tab with an ongoing Google Meet call. This is my work laptop, no extensions installed at all.
How the hell is this thing running 13 things and almost 800 MB of memory? And I've checked my personal desktop and it's even worse - more than 20 unknown things running and 1.4 GB used. 
The first volume of Das Kapital was published in 1867. Few books have done as much harm, it's up there with the books of the Abrahamic cults, which are also quite old...
Genuinely good life advice. nostr:note12l02v57ztj7f9q8n8dv5hkny42we7kj60tcn7hczm2ln70yzjmnq87av8g

I've probably mentioned this before because it was one of those conversations that illuminated my thought changing it forever and I always bring it up when China is mentioned...
When I was living in Shanghai, pre-Olympics, I once met a woman just a few years older than me, Pekinese, daughter not only of Party members, but of a high ranking PLA officer. Back when she was a child, late 70's, early 80's, she explained, her father was already an officer, but not so high rank, so they didn't have access to "so many things" (as high ranking officers and Party members). One winter they had to resort to eating paper and carton porridge, boiled shoe and belt leather, and mud cakes.
I repeat: in Beijing, PLA officer, Party members, late 70's or early 80's. Imagine the peasants in the provinces. And this is not even recorded as a remarkable event, because it just was their "normal", compared to the Great Famine and other catastrophes.
I also had a professor in college who was a communist and was there with his wife, teaching in a university in Beijing in the 80's. He explained something similar, not so extreme though because, he recognized, as a foreign communist "intellectual" in the 80's in China, he did have "access".
The access consisted of a restricted quantity of coal to burn for heating and cooking, which was so low quality that they would too often have to leave the windows open anyway, and a certain quantity of rice that often was so full of dust, dirt and stones that would barely produce one full weekly ration. Forget about any meaningful form of animal protein.
His son was actually born there and all -- and that's when his communism was cured and he decided to go back to Europe.
Is that supposed to be China?
Because in 1960 they were in the middle of the deadliest and most massive famine in human history, thanks to the "central planning" of the "scientific materialist" communist regime of Mao Zedong and his boys and girls in the CCP.
So I don't think people were chilling in eateries chomping on dumplings and drinking wine.

The naivety of climate adherents and the genius of #scientism, in a nutshell.

A great example of how the climate cult is nothing but another religion, and like all religions, it relies on faulty circular arguments based on false premises to "make sense". The post in the screenshot has the rare virtue though of presenting the faulty principles of that particular religion without disguise:
- It's not proven that the environment "cannot handle" pollution. As a matter of fact, the statement doesn't mean anything, so more likely than not, it's just unprovable. So at most, it's an infinitely elastic sentence the meaning of which can and will be changed at will, to match the needs of those who use it.
- It's not true (and this is proven) that the Earth is "finite" relative to consumption and growth, because technology changes not only in needs (think the economic importance of horses 200 years ago, vs now), but also in efficiency.
You can believe that there is a global climate change going on. You can even agree that it is man-made. But can't sell me on the religious, irrational idea, that you know exactly how to modify it at will.
I guess, as it happens in the Magrib, the Levant and generally speaking the "Middle East", gold is still the preferred store of value in Egypt.
