The Other Shoe: the first recipient was Mitch McConnell, and his episodes lately have been during firmware updates.

Using Facebook on a mobile browser is horrible: the scrolling snaps all over the place. They're awful, which is why i won't have any Meta software on my phone.

I would chalk most of that up to relative nascence, and mostly volunteer labor. I would expect things to improve. In the meantime, I'm fine with my lemmy and mastodon instances, and don't feel a lack of much.

People who tell you to do scrum correctly are themselves not doing scrum correctly.

Whatever the authors leanings are, they make a good point. Lemmy has followed Karl Popper's maxim "Tolerant societies must be intolerant of intolerance." It's just that simple.

Just because they can take control of the domain doesn't mean they somehow have access to the data any servers that used the domain have. Those servers were, i feel confident, not in Afghanistan. Domains are just redirects, so the Taliban have nothing on any of the users.

I can definitely get behind an AI plugin that reliably rats out AI generated content; i will love that in my browser (as long as it, sigh, is not a privacy nightmare). But all the "be smart for me" digital assistants can go eff themselves. I don't even use auto mode on my camera.

Working just fine for me...

I wonder if Firefox users are more likely to spoof their user agent setting? Probably not.

I'll still use it. Compared to every other browser, it is the least disastrous regarding privacy.

Honestly, i don't get why more folks aren't enthusiastic about EVs. I got a used Bolt, and i love it. Much easier and cheaper maintenance, fewer moving parts to wear out, no gas prices drama.... never buying an ICE vehicle again.

I found Guards! Guards! to be a great intro book to Discworld. The Watch series and the Witches series are both great to start someone out on.

You guys are all idiots. A bunch of Europeans lucked into an infrastructure that works with twice the people in half the space, and you act like it was an intentional and smarter design decision in anticipation of a climate crisis. You shipped your most insane people off your continent to become Americans, and their shitty Calvinism has made everything that has always been terrible about Northern Europe even worse.

Now you want to act like anyone who thinks what you propose isn't exactly easy (or democratic) is some kind of corporate fascist. Fuck off, the lot of you.
