.xsession-errors is the first thing I delete after reboot . . . if I can remember! LOL!

Have you seen this from Debian?

Newsflash . . . it is nothing special. just another day that whizzes by with much of it likely wasted contemplating utter nonsense.

Or maybe Soylent Green?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green

"Soylent Green is a 1973 dystopian thriller film based on a novel by Harry Harrison. It depicts a future world where people eat human-derived wafers called Soylent Green, and a detective uncovers a conspiracy behind the product."

Don't get me started on Musk . . .

Add this one to the list . . .

An excerpt from the 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey" directed by Stanley Kubrick

You nailed it with that observation!

I gave up trying to find an apple or any derivative product that tasted like an apple years ago. I remember picking apples along with the migrant workers just for fun when I was a kid and sinking my teeth into them moments after being picked. Now that is REALLY fresh, REAL food and before pesticides and all the Green Revolution nonsense!

Thanks for the offer! I would LOVE to taste a REAL apple again (or a "derivative" that is only apple without anything added) but . . . we aren't exactly neighbors . . .

Repeated for truth . . . this from a wise teacher:

"Perhaps we are what we eat but we definitely will become what we think."

The imagination that so entrances us is also the tool of our destruction.

ceres is always broken. This is not news . . .

There are no "insiders" but there are "outsiders" who don't bother to walk through the door which is always open. We were pleading on channels for users to test this and that. The lack of response is not the fault of the developers.

Sorry for the delay getting around to giving a try to HardSun's about:config fix to get rid of the FF icon on an about:blank tab. I just gave it a try and it "seems" to have worked! I said "seems" because I haven't really interacted much with it yet.

Also thanks to @Calamity for testing and encouraging me.

And finally . . . apologies for taking so long to give it a try . . . I move at glacial speed these days . . .

UPDATE: Confirmed! The DDG icon has been banished from about:blank in Firefox!!

/me does a happy dance . . .

Thanks to everybody for the suggestions. I will ponder the possibilities for a while before jumping into action. Experimentation is not easy for me these days so I will wait until the stars are aligned before jumping into action. I really don't want to screw something up and make it worse . . . If you live long enough, you will understand some day . . .
