In slightly better news, I have found a way to disable both Pocket and the advertising for a Firefox account, without needing to build Firefox from source.
It still has the code in there, but..it's better than nothing.
In "about:config":
Set "extensions.pocket.enabled" to false
Set "identity.fxaccounts.enabled" to false
Restart your browser.
Aww, I think I've found it!
Emergency Management, Fustrated
Come on, New Zealand is more prepared than us! They must be looking at us like we're out of it!
Emergency Management planning for private people should not be a four letter word. If something terrible were to happen, you would panic.
Yes, I am dragging most the UK population with this, but..I've stopped caring.
ARM being the future..not quite
A lot of the Linux community seems to have bought in to Linus saying that ARM is the future. Um..not quite.
A big stumbling block is that all software needs to be rebuilt for ARM. I doubt someone like Microsoft would do it without going EEE on it. It's part of the company's DNA, as far as I know.
That's not to say that ARM has no use whatsoever. For low power and cheap systems, like Nettops, and low power servers, it can work very well! (Raspberry Pis used for servers are proof of that.)
So, ARM still has a place, and a future. Will it take over X86? I don't think so. Will it replace it in certain areas? Certainly! I argue that's the point of ARM.
Not to mention that ARM was created by a transwoman..really! Look it up!
