…waiting for just the right time to unleash HAL!
These two remind me of the early Apple fanboys, completely talking around all the bad parts and focusing only on perceived good parts. Except, here, they’re fan-ing on a decision that was made a long time ago (using tempered glass on side windows) for exactly the reason they state is ‘bad’–it explodes into a bunch of non-sharp shards. This decision was made, and agreed upon by auto manufacturers, to prevent people getting stuck in cars on fire. Internal mechanical releases do nothing when the person inside is unconscious or is a toddler, as is in this case.
I agree. If ff becomes for-profit or starts actively treating the browser as for-profit, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes just as bad as google. Worse, even, since they were once actually good and their turn to the dark side will be perceived as an ultimate betrayal.
But supporting chromium is supporting chrome, which supports google. Not directly, of course, and certainly better than direct chrome, but the underlying methodology is identical. The ff management that caused this to happen should be blacklisted (I’d even support them imprisoned over this). However, knocking ff completely out (including any browser built on it) is not good, imo, as it strengthens Google’s chrome’s/chromium’s hold on the browser market, creating a true browser monopoly. Right now, chromium is open source, but if google becomes a true browser monopoly, how long do you think chromium’s FOSS status will hold? I’m going to venture, not very long. I just never thought I’d have to choose between evil and more evil when selecting my browser…
As bad as this is if true (and it’s abhorrent), is google really any better with how they continuously treat their employees and their produc–er… customers?
Redditors moved here, and brought those habits with them, I guess 🤷♂️
That was dank episode, too
We won’t do that, we promise.
The only issues I have with a yubi on a phone, is the general fragility of USB-C ports (and that there is only one). On a PC or laptop, you’ve generally got several, so if one breaks and the yubi can’t be used in that port, you’re not locked out.
Maybe. I don’t biometrics on my computers. Only phone. I don’t unlock my computer a thousand times a day using a crappy touch kb. Actually, if the phone had a physical kb, maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad. Not sure.
I wish there was a way to require both biometrics and PIN. They’re both insecure on their own, but together they’re better. Like instant MFA for your unlock. I would enable that immediately, if it was available.
Edit: then a password / passphrase in case one of the other two stops working (as an emergency unlock).
To do:
That’s really great to hear. I’m currently on CalyxOS and, besides the Google crap added to stock, it’s very close to the last time I used stock (granted, it’s been a hot minute). Next phone will likely be GrapheneOS, as I believe my posture has shifted since I decided on CalyxOS, and the lack of persistent notifications for background tasks (such as Signal) was the main deterrent that allowed me to settle into a more relaxed posture.
If the app offers a feedback option through the app itself, I usually use it. But if I have to go into a git for feedback, I usually don’t. Nothing against git, I just don’t ever remember when I’m in front of the computer. [I, too, would enjoy an android app. On fdroid, if at all possible, but playstore is fine, too, if you don’t want to foss your project.]

I mean… they do have protein, fruits, and such, so, yes. But I was craving some pasta. I guess a crepe is like a sweet pasta. I did feel the craving vanish… …
I was traveling this week, and saw a couple very obviously AI-generated billboards for the city’s downtown. Something about downtown eats or something. They were, and I’m being extremely nice here, absolutely hideous. I have never, in all my life, seen such ugly billboards. And, while they were different, they were basically the same thing (does that make sense? Them being different, but the same? Not really sure how else to describe it). I was actually looking for a place to eat, and those things deterred me from going downtown. Ended up finding this cute little coffeeshop in some random side road. No food, but holy crap the coffee and crepes were good!
Agreed. Probably the only One of the good thing about the win98 BSOD is that it crashed/froze along with the computer, and the PC required a hard reboot. Yeah, I know, not intentional, but it allowed me to fully read the message.
Edit: crossout
This looks EXACTLY as I imagined!
Nice! Makes it even better.
