nbst··on The Serval WS from System76: A Linux Workstation Running PopOS
I got this laptop about a month ago. My two complaints are 1) the fan gets surprisingly loud, sometimes for no reason 2) the webcam is very bad (720p 7FPS?!)

I will say I'm impressed that the fan can't be picked up by the mic, I wonder if System76 did any custom work there. I wear cupped headphones so I don't hear it much myself. Did you have the fan problem though, just curious? Maybe I can decrease the fan speed in the BIOS...

w3schools? really?
nbst··on Bye, Chrome: Why I’m switching to Firefox (2018)
When a request is made to a server, the server creates a log of it. When you interacted with the site that the plugin worked in tandem with, it requested assets (JavaScript, images, CSS, etc) to Firefox-run servers. That's enough for them to know you looked at that content and may have interest in it. Not a huge deal in that particular instance but it's CERTAINLY not putting the user's privacy first.

“We put the user first in terms of privacy,”

What a joke. How quickly people forget that they installed extensions into user's computers without their permission, and worse, didn't seem to realize the consequences of what that meant.

nbst··on Twitter discloses 10k accounts suspended for fomenting political discord
In the article, the accounts were "actively spreading misinformation and encouraging unrest in politically sensitive climates."

Sounds fine to me. Overreaction much?

nbst··on Digital Ocean Managed Databases
Holy crap, the fact this was missing is really the only reason I use Google Cloud for my projects.
nbst··on Electron 3.0.0-beta.1 – Chrome 66 and Node 10
The V8 memory improvements (as benchmarked in the official V8 blog) should really help, but I agree it would be nice to see a benchmark for an Electron Hello World.
