Some middle-aged guy on the Internet; Seen a lot of it and occasionally regurgitate it, trying to be amusing and informative.

Applying for mod in places where an occasional mod would better than none at all.
Reminds me of a TV ad, older than this comic, for a frosted cereal (probably not the first one that comes to mind) and the adult about to consume them has the inner dialogue "What about fat?!" "Wimp!"
(I always heard it as "Wamp!", so to this day I'm not completely sure if it was an early example of a spoken sad trombone, but "Wimp!" is more likely.)
They don't make ads like that any more.
Some Linux packages have WebKit as a dependency and that often has something called MiniBrowser installed as, well, precisely what it says it is. Not sure if it's available on Windows, but it's OK in a pinch.
There are a few other lesser known browsers, not in the main families, that are currently in development too.
GNOME and its applications have been headed in that direction for a while now, but I'm not sure Canonical are behind those changes. If they were, I'm sure they would have done something about GNOME apps looking alien on Xubuntu, for example.
As that link suggests, the Mint team are looking to produce apps that run on any desktop environment, forking GNOME apps that don't comply with that. Hopefully that keeps the momentum going for that sort of thing.
Important: The article mentions that they are being replaced not that the SAC is being done away with completely.
On the other hand:
Twitch declined to comment on whether the [new council members] would be paid.
The replaced text there is "ambassadors", that is, Twitch ambassadors, people given a title that means nothing outside of Twitch, but is the only payment these people will be getting, outside, perhaps, a sense of pride and accomplishment.
I never said that the way they've gone about it is the best way to have gone about it.
Frankly, I'm not even sure what that would be, only that this ain't it.
