One of the best responses to a ‘troll’ on IRC I have seen in a while, made me laugh!

demands end up in /dev/null :stuck_out_tongue:

In response to someone asking the devs to just code him a driver for 3D graphics driver by this weekend.

But… that needs to be automated.
Hmm…

#!xonsh
while True:
    msg=input()
    if 'demand' in msg:
        echo @(msg) > /dev/null
    else:
        print(msg)

There is no “else” that goes together with “demand” :stuck_out_tongue:

In psuedocode:

REPEAT FOREVER
    ASK FOR MSG
    IF "demand" IN MSG THEN
        SEND MSG TO /dev/null
    OTHERWISE
        SHOW MSG

In this period of the year, it’s not surprising that some believe in miracles. Also with Haiku users becoming younger and younger, it’s not surprising that some expect Santa’s visit…
But you know what awaits them and what happens to those who didn’t behave well. You experimented it yourself, didn’t you?

Still prefer it over Edge on Windows though. :wink:
EDIT, I’m not one asking for it to be around on Haiku :slight_smile:

Privacy is a total nightmare in all big browsers.
I still very much prefer Firefox over anything that depends on Chromium,but it’s far from perfect nowadays.
Librewolf is a nice,privacy-respecting alternative that I use as my default browser on anything except Haiku,where it doesn’t work.
It uses the same codebase as Firefox,but has all telemetry,trackers and other nonsense removed or disabled,and some useful privacy features built-in.

Eric Arthur Blair said that long ago; he only had spelling wrong…
You certainly know the guy under another name … George Orwell.
