They didn't care. They got to live through the benefits and not have to worry about the consequences. As far as the climate is concerned, they were the party generation, and we're the hangover generation.

Google somehow throttles YouTube on Firefox.

Because they do. A while back, it was discovered they were injecting delays if they detected Firefox as your user agent.

At that point it will be forked yet again, and that fork will take over. Mozilla is a very active open source member though.

Not with your Google account directly. You create a Firefox account that is client-side encrypted, and you'll probably use your Gmail for that. Then, you can import your bookmarks/passwords from there. This might be a good time to move your passwords to an actual password manager like Bitwarden.

Another thing to note, it seems that immutable is the future of linux. The Fedora project roadmaps the Atomic desktop taking over the traditional Workstation. OpenSUSE also looks to be moving to it as the default in Leap 16. Being new to the ecosystem might be advantageous because you don't have the old habits.

And a whole lot of alcohol.

No way. So far, my 30s are the best. I can actually afford to do all those things I wanted to do in my 20s now. Until my health takes a major hit, I suspect life will continue this trend.

That's where I learned about it.

The density of the air becomes so thin that I don't think you could have a container for enough hot air that wouldn't weigh more than the lift provided. Helium weather balloons end up getting so large because of the pressure difference that they end up bursting at those altitudes.

People have a terrible understanding of orbital mechanics and apparent weightlessness. It's not like gravity just stops affecting you after you get out of the atmosphere. Getting out of the atmosphere is the easy part of getting to orbit. Going sideways fast enough is the hard part.

Wasn't this exactly what the Larry Flint case was about already? Sounds like political grand standing, so they can say they did something even if that something is completely moot anyway.
