  • Do not know why you are being down voted, you are correct.

    I am thankful Mozilla exists because it provides some choice but if you have to changed the user.js --a non-trivial action for regular end users-- or use a fork like Librewolf, or Mullad Browser or even Tor to maximise Privacy that should mostly come available as an easy opt-in setting out of the box, it educates me that Mozilla is not the angel fanboys would like it to be.

    Also, their telemetry collection is not trivial either, even more so in their Nightly builds, which in fairness is sort of expected. Also, do not forget that FF has pushed XPIs to end users without their consent in the past.

  • It is now one of the safest countries in the world, which is quite the feat given that at one point, even if briefly, years ago, was the worst in the world. Worse than say Iraq during their civil war caused by the USA after their invasion and their ISIS period. Also safer than the USA.

    Also the weather, the world-class surfing, vistas, the food and the party lifestyle. Sister recently moved there.

  • Had related issues and not only with Breezy. Had to switch back to the F-Droid app. Too bad.

    I use my own API keys with it and it is great. Highly recommend. All that is missing is Radar. I use a different app for that.

  • Perhaps. But the fact that is getting and catching attention is a step in the right direction. Most Americans could not find Palestine on a map months ago. They might still not but at least they have been made aware of it.

    This is objectively a good thing.

  • Also, uBO today is a must for any power user, or just any user, for that matter. I have uBO on a number of machines and on average on my settings at leasr a cool 1/4 of all content and connections get blocked. That is a huge % given that I do not use any social media on my PCs. Not even YT, directly.

  • Too late, Friend. She backtracked already via a spokesperson soon thereafter.

  • Mostly in Illinois, and on Amazon, some people who literally bought ISO 12312-2020 instead of ISO12312-2 glasses. There is a story on it.

    I knew nothing about the proper ISO for eclipse glasses beforehand but if I was going to risk my eyesight and the eyesight of those who I love like that, you bet I was going to learn about it via due diligence.

    Solar eclipse glasses sold on Amazon, in stores recalled: Illinois health officials say

    Most people however seemed to have screwed with their eyesight by just looking at the sun. Seems political inclination was really not a factor. Stupidity or lack of education were.

  • Doesn't he also allow Far-Right Activists, too?

  • Size of card aside, the notion of getting local provider sims or pay-as-you-go SIMs while traveling has been a thing in Europe for at least 20 years.

  • Wonderboy III

    Sonic 2, 3 , & Knuckles, etc.

    Altered Beast

    Shinobi(s)

  • Nice. LOL

    Quality joke, right here.

  • Two reasons.

  • Imagine, a god out of thousands mentioned in Human history, one that creates a vast, vast universe that is about 13 billion years old. A later game star has a planet in its orbit, in its Goldilock zone, where life has been evolving for at least 350 million years... and right next to the end of that planet's current history, a tiny group of humans, from a tribe out who knows how many others in that region thinks that said god gave them super special dominion over everyone else. Chosen, if you will.

    On top of that, a special unique claim is given to a tiny bit, a sliver of land because said god got into a literal fist fight over a stream over a whole night and suposedly made the guy who later became their leader this offer, an offer that no else saw happen... An offer that said tribe, his tribe, would use thousands of years later, with all the science and understanding we all have, to oppress people, and bomb hospitals, and volunteers who gave food to poor, starving people. Because, trust me, bro. Do not ever question the validity of the land claim, because, trust me, bro.

  • Albeit it is impossible to know how many for certain, last time I looked into it, the claim was that they had between 4-7 nukes.

  • These are the hallmarks of either anti-personel smart bombs or drones. The small bombs can penetrate a vehicle and blow up in a small radious. The concusive force and/or shrapnel/blades is what kills.

    Perhaps, something like this?

    They are also used for assassinations since they minimise collateral damage or assets due to their small kill radius in comparison to larger, explosive bombs. If they used drones, then they could likely have a operator guiding them, which is even worse. Since how do you, uh, mis-identify volunteers? Or just hit any vehicles that moved, indiscriminately.

  • They are awesome. To me at least, but only if you save space by hiding the regular tab bar and it is easier to manage tabs since they are now closer together. Also, if you make the right --or left, it is up to you, I pick right-- sidebar auto hide and letting just the icons show. You do gain a lot of extra space. Mind you, you need to enable CSS via About:Config. On too of, before, using say, Sideberry. I like you thought I did not like it but now that I have tried it. I simply will not go back. I have a userChrome.css file that place on all my machines on a fresh install, now.

  • Stop boiling this down to just Republicans. Dems do this shit as well. In this context the issues is not a Left or Right or Left vs Right Issue. Is an Up vs Down issue. For the record, I am left.

    Those in power think they know better than stupid you or me and will try to get away and lie with what they can and get away with, to all of us, because they think most of us are stupid or gullible. Tale as old as time.

    If you are on the Left, you most probably notice the shit on the Right because it is farther away from things you agree with/worldview in the general. So it is more obvious to you, but Dems do the same general corrupt type of shit as well. You likely have a blindspot and if you think you don't, you are lying to yourself. Just like people on the Right will see the Left shit better than their own because their own bias and miss their own due to their blindspots. They want all of us to be petty. Works for them.

    Man, I miss the Spirit of the Occupy XXX movememt, of the early 2010's, the wealthy and powerful, from both sides got actually scared and worried, if for only a little bit before political correctness distracted everyone and made people fight over trivial things instead of the economy, foreign relations, unions, and going after banks, Pharma, the military complex and other huge corps. Stuff that actually affects everyone and not some tiny minority.
