Is this the right thread to ask for microphone advice?
I recently got picrel, but I'm finding the desk stand to be way too short. I'm thinking of getting a taller adjustable desk stand like a Rode DS2, or maybe a mic arm, but I don't want something too big and bulky.

They said this today on Twitter/X

"We deeply respect the philosophy of Mozilla and our users: AI in Floorp should always be optional.

While we prioritize providing the best customizability, any AI features added will strictly remain opt-in. We are not aiming to become a "modern AI browser." Our focus is on maintaining existing features while simply adding more choices for you."

I prefer to have multiple browsers installed. For official accounts I use Firefox but for everyday browsing I'm using Zen. Doesn't make much of a difference but I prefer having things compartmentalized. I'm looking forward to Ladybird, but until then, any other trustable replacements?

>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models

>Easy to repair (most models), upgrade & maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model, spare parts easy & cheap to obtain

What Thinkpad should I get if I'm basically just looking for a very cheap writing laptop? It basically just needs to be able to run windows, scrivener, and the choicescript IDE. I'd like to get something that's like $200 or lower but if I have to go higher I will. Battery life is somewhat important, internet access is not. I have a main computer elsewhere but I need a cheap laptop for the shitty apartment I'm moving into.

>>107579007
xt has more cool features. With 4chan-xt, I can drop or paste an image into the quick reply form, and if it's a .webp or too large or something, xt will convert and resize it automatically. Unless something changed in 2025 and I missed it, x can't do that. As for the captcha, it's a trivial matter to make a small edit to the xt script, like OP did.

Women make this face because it arouses men. Why does it arouse men? Because it is the same kind of face they make when they are about to make out with you (the eyes are usually a bit more closed, but still), the same face when you finger them or when you penetrate them.
If you had ever done any of that you would know.
