    The contacts are real and documented. What's being investigated right now if there was any collusion between Russia and the Trump administration.

    That entire discussion is just baffling. Did anyone ever explain the rationale behind the decision to hardcode a DPI setting instead of getting it from X?

    GTK is still unable to properly scale bitmap icons, which means that some UI elements stay tiny while windows and fonts scale properly.

    Look, I don't think any honest person can deny the Russians meddled in the election. The bigger question is, did they throw the American election?

    That is hard (impossible?) to answer conclusively, but they likely did not. Clinton lost the election all by herself, IMHO.

    The problem is that a) it appears that Russia did indeed meddle in US elections and b) there's an active investigation about collusion between the Trump administration and Russian officials. That is the story here.

    *sigh*

    No, HRC did not lose because of Russia. That doesn't mean there wasn't any collusion within the Russia and the current administration, which is what's currently being investigated into. Honestly, it's been 7 months and the only people still hung up on this election seem to be Trump supporters.

    As for the rest of the conspiracy theory items, no comments.

    Firefox eats memory much faster than Chrome/Chromium when tabs pile up. As stated before Chrome is not flawless either; it generates a thread per tab so it hits other limitations when multiple tabs are in place, but at least the browser stays responsive overall.

    Chrome, for all its failures, it is still much more lightweight than Firefox. I usually keep a large number of tabs open at any given time and Chrome manages these much better than Firefox - even being a memory hog itself.
