Yeah it’s only truly UK beans if it’s Heinz in runny tomato sauce, and it’s only truly authentic if a dementor kissed the top of the can to suck any excess flavor out

One man’s trash is actually that same man’s server, now

Well that’s what the safety meeting is for, planning on being safe when the family reacts badly

Transformer, when it explodes, avert your eyes!

(Seriously though, the arc flash of a failing transformer can cause blindness)

Yeah it's worth remembering that the US and soviet union really only fought the nazis because the axis powers attacked them. Had hitler just taken over europe and not moved east, had japan not attacked the US, it's very possible we'd be living in a very different world right now

“It doesn’t matter how many lanes the highway has. I’ll cut through all of them to get to my family.”

lol this is literally the same conversation happening elsewhere on the internet about Diddy. There’s a video of him abusing someone. “Stop speculating, we don’t know the whole story.” Speculation is claiming there’s anything beyond a video of him abusing someone. It’s wild how much people love their celebrities to the point of abandoning all logic to defend them.

and another, related wild take. you can miss an exit or a turn and keep going straight. it may take longer to get where you're going, and it may be frustrating, but it's safer and better than cutting people off

Everyone has a spot on the big food pyramid of the socio-political hierarchy. Good, smart, and hardworking people of merit make their way to the top. Bad, dumb, and lazy people go to the bottom. For convenience sake, this hierarchy is color-coded. In a zero-sum world, everyone who gets to the top has to knock someone down a rung to make room.

I would argue this is how republican voters think. That they’re in the right because they are voting for the right of the individual. But on the other hand I think Republican policy makers give zero shits about a person’s self worth and actualization but rather they know that they need to feed the machine and we need the poor babies born to do so, and on the other hand they can demonstrate some form of moral high ground by deciding life and death.

There’s no death penalty for defrauding elections, molding the healthcare (or really any corporate) system to work for harm and profit, avoiding taxation through infinite shell companies and offshore bank accounts. Those things are celebrated as “beating the system”

Still to this day everyone that claims “Plandemic” is chasing some invisible elite power structure that somehow only includes democrats, without ever getting mad at the corporations that profited immensely off developing covid vaccines and charging market price for them as a portion of the world was dying.

It sounds like in this transaction they are purely a hardware provider, they shipped the bespoke hardware to Twitter based on twitters order, musk took over, and is now refusing to pay them because he doesn’t want whatever the hardware is after having gutted Twitter, and they haven’t been paid

“The components used to build the products are largely unique to the products, resulting in long lead times for ordering such component parts from suppliers,” and Twitter must give “written approval for Wiwynn to purchase the necessary components to manufacture the customer products…and expressly assumed liabilities for the procurement costs.”

So basically they were bespoke servers that are great for Twitter, custom designed, and definitely aren’t easy to just resell elsewhere, so because Twitter isn’t paying, the IT company is eating the loss right now

Ah right. I just assumed they were not Swiss watches lol. Trump could sell an enlarged pyrite plated statue of his cock, lube made from his sweat, and his followers would line up to buy and ride it

Well I guess on paper now

that's ok, he works for putin now

Also Jordan Peterson, I feel like it's weird he's being left out of this discussion considering how many people lap up his bile

As someone who uses Vivaldi, which has a significant number of power user and customization features, the fact this is no longer a thing is fucking bonkers to me

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/compact-mode-workaround-firefox#:~:text=Firefox Last updated: 6/6,https://mzl.la/3JM0ViX

I can turn on an unsupported flag to make the UI a little cleaner for me

To me, it’s wild that the browser for the user decided to deprecate an option like that. Since they dropped XUL support I have very few options on customizing my browser outside of a theme or just writing my own CSS

From there, I’d just point to:

https://vivaldi.com/features/

Firefox pulls in like 500 million dollars a year from Google. Barely any of those features exist in Firefox

I started with Firefox. I used it from day one, when it was an experiment coming out of the Mozilla suite.

I want to use it day to day so bad

But it’s become “how do we chase chrome”

And occasionally they get wins like this. And it no longer feels like

“How can we be best?”

This is a shit take. Manifest v3 is like activex. As of right now, it shuts down extensions they don’t want. Going forward, it sets up a system for extensions that are publisher-approved. When internet explorer took over the market I could still use Netscape until I couldn’t. I’m hoping Firefox doesn’t reach the same end

Why the LMAO?

Firefox was and still is recently vulnerable to a massive zero day:

Mozilla is now using users for their new AI focus.

We need to support continuous competition in the browser market through enhanced support and integration of W3C standards. And at the most important, decoupling corporations from the browsers. At the moment, it seems Google is being actively defensive (see manifest v3) against that while Firefox (Mozilla corporate) is just sort of moot on the issue, more concerned with AI.

As soon as you think it’s “us vs them” and your browser is also owned by a for profit company, we’ve lost

Thanks! Hopefully this will make a difference. I suspect what happens in November will be the catalyst on this one

Is this a state or federal law? I’m super interested it, and would love a link to where it’s being described
