Trying out Chrome, since this worthless laptop overheats constantly and I was wondering if it might be Firefox memory bloat. It’s actually… really good, now that it has full adblock functionality, and when I get my desktop up and running again I think I’ll end up using it as default. Only thing it lacks is DownThemAll, who aren’t interested in the platform, and surely some clever beggar will sort that out sooner or later.
Also, /k/ no longer sucks, which is disturbing and wonderful all at once. Normally when channing: go to /k/ looking for anything good -> open a couple of interesting-looking OPs -> disgust at most of thread being calibre arguments and racism -> realise /k/ is just rednecks/retards/racists/trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls -> go to /tg/ and /lit/.
Now, it’s go to /k/ -> tab explosion of interesting looking threads -> stay there posting and refreshing because people are posting interesting stuff and responding sensibly -> accumulate an extra few meg of saved jpgs and threads of wit/knowledge -> wonder where day went.
Yeah.
Phone caused me serious consternation today; it had filled up all its operating memory and hadn’t left enough for it to start. How’s that for a retarded design flaw? Had to hard reboot it again, but contacts were on sim and little of value was lost, apart from time and effort making it shout MAGGOTS again. I might be persuaded into a smartphone less than three generations behind sometime soon… they’re just so damn *expensive*…
WAFS essay is going to be awesome when it’s finished, but that will not be for a while.
One more thing: My friends are rock stars.
The cheapest modern actual smart phone I’ve found in my musings, though the nokia 5800 also is pretty sexy from what I’ve seen and head, admittedly it is a diet smartphone rather than full fat androidelicious.
