  • Its not, but you can't just keep a passenger on your plane who is flipping out and might try something else crazy apart from that.

  • "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" is an adage that is unfortunately true, and I find it absolutely infuriating.

    I would much prefer that we can all be polite and courteous to each other, so when being polite fails but having a screaming tantrum gets results it really makes me annoyed at the unfairness.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if they use it for creation in some cases, depending on locale, or if you seem "suspicious" to their metrics in some way, e.g. registering while on a VPN

  • Where does technology come from in Star Wars?

    Jump

  • Even Andor is true to that formula.

    In one part, two characters are speaking over "radio" comms using code talk - presumably in case there are any Empire operatives listening in. And prior to that they kept missing each other because they weren't at their radios at the same time. Derp!

    So you've got hyperspace travel and laser guns, but no data encryption, or text messaging. Alright then.

    Except of course, they do have those things when the plot calls for it, and that's another reason to consider it fantasy. In most sci-fi the rules stay pretty consistent, but in fantasy it's flexible.

  • A smarter, simpler Firefox address bar | The Mozilla Blog

    Jump

  • I guess some of us just like to think the search bar and the address bar are conceptually different interface elements with different reasons to exist.

  • What phone should I buy for privacy?

  • Just for clarity, Graphene doesn't provide a "neutered" version of play services - the version of play services which runs is the same code as provided by Google, with the only difference being that it runs in a sandbox which only grants it the same level of permission as normal apps (which you can choose to grant or not) rather than running as effectively root on your device like it does on most android phones.

  • A smarter, simpler Firefox address bar | The Mozilla Blog

    Jump

  • I love how the top two points, "Choose how you search, right from the address bar" and "Keep your original search visible" are things that we always had by default in the old days with the separate search bar, until Firefox blindly copied Chrome and went to the unified bar.

    And now it's back as if it's some kind of revolutionary feature, rather than they made it worse and now they're making it better again.

    Not that I ever stopped using the separate search field, I always turn that on.

  • 🦕 anyone wanna play under the covers? 🦖

  • Being a grown-up means you can play with glow in the dark dinosaurs under the covers if you want to :)

  • We simply didn't need those things. Cold winters were more of an issue than hot summers, so our homes historically have been built with brick or stone construction that holds the warmth.

    When it is hot for just a few days in a row, that same construction actually helps stay cool, because even if it's hot outside the heat takes a long time to penetrate, and inside stays nice and cool.

    But now that climate is changing and we're seeing summers with a couple of weeks of intensely hot weather in a row with temperatures higher than ever, that same construction actually becomes a problem. Because now the stone and brick become completely saturated with heat, and even at night when it's cooler outside the brick is staying hot and radiating that heat. It's basically like living in a pizza oven.

    The past few years it's been like that maybe only a couple weeks of the year, but nonetheless air conditioners are starting to become more popular.

    For insect screens, same deal - we just never usually have a problematic amount of insects. Which is why when we do have a lot of insects it's in the news.

  • This - get the no-brand replacement heads. No way would I spend the prices Oral-B are asking.

    Sometimes the big brands can end up as better device purchases, since despite being more expensive upfront, there are plenty of cheap third-party consumables available.

  • I recently swapped my Dad's Windows computer with my old machine, which I installed Linux on ahead of time.

    I told him it was a faster machine - which it was just slightly in the hardware sense, a very minor upgrade. A half-truth to encourage the transition.

    But of course, it's running Linux, not Windows.

    Next day he phones me up really happy that it's "so much faster than the old machine!"

    And it really is a lot faster, but it's not the hardware. It's just not getting bogged down with all the crap Windows constantly does in the background.

    Either way, mission accomplished.
