The existence of alternate universes is confirmed.The Basilisk project was created to provide an alternative to Firefox, owned by Mozilla. The project was started in 2003 by Andrew F. Ewing, who wanted to create a version of Firefox without Mozilla’s limitations, such as the lack of tabs or integration with other applications.
I've seen plenty of tech articles written by people who had no idea what they were talking about, but I've never seen anything this rich.

I planned to reveal my true real life identity on the forums one day but I never thought it would be on alvarotrigo.com.

A lot of them are made to fool HR when trying to get a job requiring some kind of writing skills... they see some kind of blog, read sufficiently coherent thoughts but never check the factuality of the contents or whether it is something useful, if the article is a tutorial of sort.Southern_Computer_Geek wrote: ↑2023-10-29, 21:46I've seen plenty of tech articles written by people who had no idea what they were talking about, but I've never seen anything this rich.
In the current days, I also wouldn't exclude machine generation of said articles, which only compounds the incorrect contents or their lack of substance.

Re: Did you know....
That reminds me of the old joke about the Mozilla Suite being an operating system.
I mean, we are talking about an application that has a nearly-complete collection of C library functions between NSPR and other parts of its own codebase, it's own build system, cross-platform ways of displaying its own widgets, etc... I can totally see how someone would say that. Though granted, that old joke didn't really age that well given that Boot2Gecko and ChromeOS actually became things...

"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind
