  • Bloomberg: People need a reality check. Despite common assumptions, traveling by bus, subway or train is actually safer than driving.

  • Same, but I have no doubt they're out there.

    If Camel said with a strait face that cigarettes increase health, I'm certain there have been public advertisements at least insinuating that a car is safter than public transportation.

  • I bet it's the complex carbs. So potatoes, brown bread, and cereals won't digest at all, while chips and white bread won't be as bad.

    I don't think all cats have the same digestion or gut flora either. Some cats have stinky farts for anything but wet food, while others eat anything without an odor at all.

  • Therapists as pentesters is an interesting concept. Maybe if we thought about it like that there would be more interdisciplinary methods.

  • [OPINION] Canada’s age-verification bill for porn is a slippery slope to a restrictive internet

  • I can't think of any method of restricting content from children that couldn't be leveraged to restrict content in general, or collect personal information.

    The dangerous parts of social media affect adults too. Maybe we need to regulate social media platforms in some way.

    Or just have better and more widely available local parental control systems. I can block specifically all social media without affecting other sites, but that's because I know how. Perhaps DNS blockers need to be government recommended?

  • Your code would still be unchanging and unique to you, which would be easy to correlate activity with. It's basically a government-issued ID number.

    And if it could somehow be anonymous, there's nothing to stop people from sharing it. It just becomes a password you need to access the internet, except all sotes must accept any of 20 million passwords, and you definitely know a bunch of people who will share.

  • Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?

    Jump

  • Can you not read the labels? I know Chrome will shrink tabs to just the icon, but you mention Pocket, so I assume you know about firefox, where there's always at least 6 or so characters shown.

    I have no issue navigating 150+ tabs (except that it takes a moment to scroll over them). It's like a kitchen; half of the cupboads just have baking supplies in them, but I know exactly where anything is, or at least where to look. Baking soda is in the first cupboard right of the fridge, next to the vanilla, behind the salt. The paper on planetary radius vs mass I'm using for worldbuilding in my TTRPG is just to the right of the chunkbase map, and a bit left of the second youtube island, next to the other 12 worldbuilding research tabs.

    This was before tab groups too. Now I can collapse those 12 tabs into one item, and do that for each of ~10 topics, which makes navigating tabs much faster.

    Firefox mobile is a different beast though, because I can't organize the tabs, and they'll get reorganized by time (I think?) after 2 weeks when they get moved to Inactive Tabs. That's more of a big pile that I sort through when I'm bored.

  • Huh, I've never had that happen. My 8 year old phone has difficulty with opening the home screen, but the tab list has always been smooth as butter.

  • It's the faring bug that's causing the payload to catch the wind. Some more fins at the bottom should help.

  • Hi guys, how many of you are here as an alternative to Reddit?

    Jump

  • I'm here for the same reason. Interestingly enough I figured out how to make the app I use work again, but by that point reddit had gone to AI slop hell.

  • Haha, Russia 🤏

    Jump

  • We we're hit especially hard because they shrunk each island individually. Just the Canadian mainland looks the same size as the states.

    On the other hand, seeing Russia shrunk like that makes me think we could be bigger!

  • Why do some people have so many browser tabs open?

  • Not OP, but many topics last longer than a week.

    I'm not going to finish Factorio in a week, and my collection of tabs on factorioLab, sheets, drawio, and the wiki are both interrelated and mark the several projects I have going. That's also a topic that would be very annoying to reopen every week, and also would lead to bookmark clutter as most of those tabs will get closed when the projects are finished.

    There's also research tabs for things that will come up later. I have 6 open right now for configuring a smart home system that won't get opened until I can actually see the system in person, but I don't know when that will happen.

    And there's also long running series, like text stories, podcasts, or youtube series. That would be a nightmare to update bookmarks for, but those tabs will track progress just fine.

    I suppose I keep tabs exactly because I want to keep interest for weeks, but I know I'll forget all the details between sessions.

  • I keep seeing people talk about tabs lagging their devices, but I have never had that since 2008. Is that a safari thing?

  • The problem with Pocket is that it's out of sight. That's like writing yourself a reminder note and putting it in a box under your bed. It also doesn't maintain tab groups, so a collection of tabs will get scattered and messy.

  • Isn't a theory more rigorous than a hypothesis? The closer you get to math, the less weight "theory" seems to have.
