I agree. Firefox is “almost everything” for me. The example that comes to mind for it not working is WebSerial. That’s when the UC comes out. Also there was a brief period where the Papa John’s website checkout didn’t work in Firefox.

I’m not surprised, but I am disappointed

I think they mean more in the sense that not all regular users automatically have access to the community.

I don’t know if that is possible. If it is, it’d have to be local to that instance only, or accept that other admins would be able to see what goes on.

This is all I do. It works pretty well. I sometimes have to turn it off briefly to log in to airplane wifi or such.

I mean, it might’ve not been illegal. It was probably hidden in some T&C somewhere. That’s the trade-off. You get a free privacy proxy, they get a free residential proxy endpoint.

I worked with a guy once, we’ll call him “Kevin”

I was making coffee in the office one day. Picture a typical Mr. Coffee type drip coffee maker. I filled the filter with grounds. I filled the glass pot with water. I poured the water into the reservoir. I missed a little - maybe ½ oz (~15ml) - that was left in the bottom of the carafe. Whatever, though, right? Coffee is mostly water, anyway. Whether that little bit went through the grounds or not doesn’t make a noticeable difference. I put it down in the machine and hit “start”.

Kevin was there and saw what happened.
“There’s some water still” he says, pointing at the carafe.
“Eh, yeah, but…” I started to say, before my brain interrupted me and I went wide-eyed.

Kevin decided that he would remedy this himself. He turned his pointing into a reaching, then a grabbing, then lifting the coffee pot. He thought he would pour the remaining water into the reservoir.

Before I could tell him to put it back, the coffee started coming out. With no pot in place to catch it, it starts going directly on the hot plate. Of course, Kevin is turning to me to argue about whether the water should be put in the reservoir or not. He’s not paying attention to what he’s doing.

A moment later, when he finally notices, he starts freaking out. Notably, this freaking out did not include immediately putting the coffee pot back on the coffee maker to catch the remaining coffee. I actually had to instruct him to put it back.

So yeah, the dumbest person I’ve worked with let coffee spill all over because apparently it’s unacceptable to have water in your coffee.

They don’t have a whole lot of legal avenues.

Idk, plenty of normal people buying the steam deck

Fuck. Tom Scott was right.

Eh, there’s a good chance that it works with Proton but they don’t want to support it.

Y’all are missing the point of saying it’s not a resumption. Of course it is. But they have to lie. If they admit they’re resuming, it means they’re in violation of the war powers act by going past 60 days. I expect the next lie will be that actually, this is a totally new military operation and the clock has reset.

On the Railroad - The Longest Johns

I do, but not with headphones. If it’s headphones, it’s second to something else. If the activity is specifically listening to music, I’m doing it on the good speakers.

I don’t appreciate being called out like this

Because phablet became mainstream so it doesn’t make sense to have a different word for them anymore.

Yup. If you really need GPIO + any real power, either go with an ARM board from AliExpress or do NUC + ESP32 with a serial connection between them.

Okay but they also encourage suicide which is not what someone who’s suicidal needs.

Or use a third party client that doesn’t have as much scrutiny on the source code and will Leak your message s

Given what you’ve said, Signal is still what you want and is good for it.

There are two main issues people have with Signal:

First is that it requires a phone number to sign up. That makes some people who want it to be truly anonymous unhappy. It’s not meant to be anonymous, though. It’s meant to be private. Those aren’t the same thing.

Second is that it runs on AWS. This isn’t a problem in the sense that it’s possible for it to still retain privacy while running on AWS. Some people don’t like it because they view the dependence on the infrastructure of an American company to be a risk to availability. They also believe that it would exacerbate a security flaw if one were found.

Personally, I know these risks and still find it to be the best balance between privacy, security, and ease of use.
