Well, then... Follow-up on the previous post and the Facefook and Firefox troubles. Finally switched over to Pale Moon now, just took a while to get the add-on settings copied over as well. I suspect it's a combination of both Firefox and Facebook at fault here. Judging by one of the web-based games I've played on another computer here (since this one was too weak...)with the new Firefox starting to invariably freeze after the latest Firefox update, something must have changed in the new Firefox versions. Which I did not have here, but seeing how after updating it here now as well since I don't need the old version anymore after replacing it with Pale Moon, Facebook works there as well, I suspect Facebook must have also updated some Firefox-specific script to match the update, but broken its compatibility with either the older Firefox versions, or (considering that Pale Moon identifies as an older Firefox as well, yet works) just the latest ESR that has a version number higher than the first version of Firefox Quantum. In any case, good to finally change to a properly functional browser again.


Also, it seems that the latest posts here have not been automatically crossposted to Facebook anymore. Nothing works as it should...

Something very weird is going on with Facebook for the last couple of days... Most recent page is definitely not showing the most recent posts, and it keeps one of the processor cores at 100%, bringing Firefox down to a crawl, sometimes even not responding at all for a while...

It was just snowing for a little while...

And once again the Eurovision Song Contest proves that televoting was the worst addition ever made to the competition.

Happy New Year!

(And I can't believe I forgot to post on Christmas...)

Saw this on my friends list and decided to try as well.

My condolences, America... But on the positive side, maybe our new government might now not have enough time to screw us over before Putin gets here.

Snow. Snow everywhere!

Oh, looks like Windows 10 has finally decided to upgrade to the Anniversary Update on my computer here as well. I do wish Microsoft would stop insisting on placing Edge on my taskbar with every bigger update (and the shop, and it moved Explorer around...), though. But on the positive side, I really like that they have now included the clock on my second monitor's taskbar as well.

Well, looks like the people of UK have decided. They were asked whether they want to have a new recession and Scotland to leave. They said yes.

And this is why the people should never have been allowed to vote in this competition...

Well, that was weird... I actually finished a translation in time.

It's always a weird (but good) feeling when I receive a notice from FanFiction.Net about an ancient story of mine from 2001 being favorited by someone.

Been a while since I posted anything here, so have something stolen from nightfalltwen:

Tropes meme results:

I'm actually a bit surprised by how high some of these ended up...

Ah, Facebook... Just when you think they've finally decided to improve, they prove you wrong again. Remember that poll they had? They've now created a "feedback survey" to improve our news feeds. Sounds great, right? But the way they've done it is quite the opposite. Apparently they're asking us to choose between various posts to see which we would more like to see on our news feeds. Which is just so incredibly stupid when the biggest problem with Facebook is exactly the fact that they hide some posts from us.

I'm so terribly amused by Facebook's frequent poll about whether they care for their users. Sure, I can (and do) give them my opinion, but without actually being able to say why I think so, there's no way they would actually know what to improve.

It's time to once again dig up an old text to make sure people use the correct terminology.
