  • FF still hasn't brought back a tab group API for extensions or native tab groups. Extensions can only do so much given what they have to work with. I still use FF on the side, but it simply isn't a practical as a primary browser for me currently.

    But for casual users, many probably have never even touched their browser settings.

  • There's also other chromium browsers with built-in ad-blocking that still work AFAIK. If all extensions and forked brower's ad-blockers stopped working, I think there would probably be a surge in firefox usage (even if there's not that much change in chromium usage).

    Had one indoors the other day at work and someone noticed it and was bothered by its existence. I took a picture of it and the grabbed it to take it outside. Would have preferred to let it be, but worried others might hurt it :\

  • Cool. Being trans, not tolerating transphobia, and having emotes is comparable to being nazis?

    Also, not suggesting people need to go there because its active. I could go to traa, egg, mtf, agender, enby, etc on reddit, but I don't want to use reddit and a lot of those communities make hexbear look tame in terms of spamminess and immaturity.

  • Games is the largest games com by far in terms of posts and comments (150k comments and 15k post vs 71k comments and 3k posts on lemmy world..

    News has most posts than any other news and about as many comments as lemmyworld.

    Politics has the most posts of any politics coms, but far less comments than lemmyworld's.

    History basically has no competitors (150k comments vs 7k for the next largest)

    Movies also has no competitors (75k comments vs 9k for the next largest).

    Videos has 56k comments vs lemmyworld's 13k

    Music has 45k comments vs lemmyworld's 6k

    Urbanism has 44k comments vs fuckcar's 19k

    Granted, given Hexbear has been around for 4 years, the number of comments/posts is largely a side effect of age. But it also means calling them duplicates is probably misleading. OTOH, the main trans community there has been very active recently, dwarfing all other trans communities combined.

  • And is there any reason behind the name? A bear, but hexagon shaped, is their mascot.

  • Isn't your instance federated with hexbear? Seems like it hardly blocks any lemmy instances.

  • I'm subscribed to pretty much all the trans coms I know of and traa is 90% of the trans content that shows up. Another 5% are other hexbear trans subs. Traa has as many comments in half a month as mtf@blajah has had in its entire existance and as many in a week as trans@blahaj has made in total (the two largest non-hexbear trans subs afaik).

  • Not really surprising. 10 out of the 10 most commented posts in the past year are on hexbear (the top 2 being the weekly trans mega threads). Granted, a lot of that is just the hyper-active posting of a few users. Regardless, if you want a trans community, there's basically no active alternative to hexbear's traaa here.

  • Does anyone know where I can buy Silverfish style Batteries in Canada?

    Jump

  • I mostly just use my bike for commutes and charge in the middle. So, the one-way matters. But sometimes, I can drain like 80% of the battery going one-way and other times its like 20%. Of course this will depend on how much assist you use. With a good tailwind, I'm pedaling hard enough the assist might do very little outside of accelerating after stopping. With a bad headwind, the assist might be at/near 750W nearly constantly (and still sometimes dipping down below 20mph) and my contribution is pretty negligible. I do live in a relatively flat area nearish to the coast... so winds speeds might be a bit more variable here.

    Jump

  • Most people will do a series of longer and longer rides, usually out-and-back trips. This helps get a sense for how low the battery level drops. At some point, it will be too low for “comfort” and that’s when the battery should be considered range-tested.

    IME, the difference between a bad headwind and a good tailwind can be like a factor of 3 in terms of battery consumption for a given route.

    Lemmy's how do you feel about Kamala Harris now that she picked Tim Walz? Will you vote for her or the orange?

    Jump

  • Or they just try to send a message to onlookers. Voting for non-right-wing presidents isn't acceptable here.

  • Mixed-race voters say Donald Trump’s attacks on Kamala Harris’ race are painfully familiar

    Jump

  • Never tried one. Never seen them offered anywhere around here, but I also don't each out much. They do seem like a pretty bad idea; I'd just use a reusable straw if I used straws frequently.

    That's a foregone conclusion for any billionaire.

  • But what if you're a POC and a billionaire who believes Trump will make you wealthier?

    At least my parents won't vote republican because of homophobia. They're convinced dems will take all their money to give to immigrants and black people and force them to use paper straws...

  • Drivers keep crashing into Amish buggies, so Ohio enacted a law requiring buggies be festooned with electric flashing lights

  • And if you drive slow enough for deer, you should be more than slow enough for buggies.

  • Each year in the United States, deer–vehicle collisions resulted in at least 59,000 human injuries and 440 human fatalities.[1]

    In 2000, of the 6.1 million lightweight motor vehicle collisions in the US, 1 million involved animal-vehicle collisions. Deer–vehicle collisions lead to about $1.1 billion in property damage every year.[2] State and federal governments, insurance companies, and drivers spend an additional $3 billion in an effort to reduce and manage the increasing number of deer-vehicle collisions.[3]

    Majority of animal-involved human deaths in the US are deer-vehicle collisions. Going slower can greatly diminish the frequency and severity of those collisions.
