Nintendo can be pretty evil assholes, but yeah. I wouldn’t say they belong in the same category as Nestle and HP.
Hasbro, meanwhile…

I use dmenu_run because it’s ridiculously minimal, has zero dependencies, is very fast, and fits with the i3 aesthetic well.
I once had an interesting conversation with a nurse at my GP’s office. I was scheduling an appointment with my GP. The nurse asked what I wanted to see him about. I mentioned light headedness, dizziness, globus, chest pain, palpi-
She stopped me at “chest pain” and said “I’m going to write down chest pressure, because otherwise, they’ll send you to the ER.”
At the time, I was scheduled for all the heart tests you can think of and a few neurological tests and had been having chest pain daily for months during which I’d had plenty of heart tests already. And the nurse was familiar with my case. Had she not been, she definitely would have just sent me to the ER.
She made the right call. All the heart and brain tests came back fine. Nobody ever saw fit to give me a diagnosis beyond “your nervous system is too sensitive.” (I asked if he was talking about “dysautonomia” and he agreed to that. Not a “diagnosis” per se, but better than nothing.)
We have to go deeper.
Did people think they meant something else? Or was it more that they didn’t really elaborate and folks didn’t know quite what they meant?
I can’t imagine it’s going to be very long before Elon’s hostile attitude toward basic safety results in a high-profile catastrophy involving human deaths under the ospices of Space X.
Jesus told me it doesn’t have to be alcohol. He once turned piss into Mtn Dew. I’ve only ever done the opposite.
I think what you’re talking about is called a “LAN”/“Local Area Network”.
Honestly, this isn’t much of a hypothetical for me. At work, my choices are Windows, Mac, or Ubuntu. I’m quite happy with Ubuntu, though I’ve switched away from the default desktop environment to i3.
I use Arch (BTW) on my personal systems. And Ubuntu isn’t as bad as I worried it would be.
My main gripe is snaps. Firefox is practically unusable as a snap. And my employer forbids installing any software (save for a select list of exceptions) not via the officially-supported Ubuntu way of doing things. Chrome is available without snap, so I use it on my work machine. Which annoys me, but if I’m less efficient in my job as a result, it’s their own fault.
Honestly, “browser engine” and “lightweight” currently don’t belong in the same sentence. Unless you’re going for something with very little functionality compared to Webkit or Gecko or whatever. We can hope that changes with time, but I don’t think there are a lot of prospects.
As far as “little functionality” options, there’s the Dillo browser. I’m not sure its engine is really easily “seperable”, so to do so might be some work. It’s surprisingly maintained. Its latest release is from 3 months ago. It’s definitely extremely lightweight. (Unless you’re comparing it against, say, elinks or something.)
As for somewhat promising projects that are not yet anywhere near ready for prime time, there’s the Ladybird browser. Again, I don’t know how seperable the engine is. And I don’t know how lightweight this one is either.
And how much are you asking for in research funding?
Hey, everyone, look at this meme I found:
planetary, planetary, intergalactic
But seriously, even so, I think it’d be reasonable to still have per-galaxy navigation systems.
Probably arbitrarily one of the two vectors perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way? (Assuming it wasn’t necessary for this navigation system to work outside of our galaxy.)

I was really excited for CJDNS (not to be confused with “Domain Name System”) at one time. It’s a mesh networking protocol. And they’d established an “Internet 2” (as in, a sequel to “The Internet”) based on the CJDNS protocol called “Hyperborea.”
I haven’t heard anything about CJDNS in a good while now. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were other efforts looking to do something roughly the same, but I’m not up to date on anything more recent.
If someone told me they “cooked themselves a BLT”, I’d assume they meant they’d baked the bread, fried the bacon, and emulsified the mayonnaise themselves and the slicing and assembly were just the final parts of the process.
Where do you get these questions?
