Sign in to what though? That's what I still don't understand, I've never used a browser that had a mandatory account (except maybe AOL in the 90s but that wasn't really a browser)..
But of course, downloading Firefox is definitely the right choice. :)
As someone who's not used Chrome for a while, what does it mean to be "signed into a regular widow"? Does it mean signed in to a Google account with cookies that can be seen by a regular browser tab, or is there some login process to the actual browser itself these days?
It's not ablism to suggest someone might not have the mental capacity to do a job.
I thought it would be obvious just looking at the shallowness of their reasoning. Also, an evil genius would at least act in their own interests, whereas the Tories have been pretty self-destructive.
I know they don't care but they're also not very intelligent. I thought that would be non-controversial. The capitalist class that put them there might be intelligent but not the politicians themselves.
They got in to power because of privilege. Those with privilege and intelligence have long since abandoned the Tory party, so you're just left with the bottom of the barrel; the privileged and dim - it's no wonder this country is failing.
It's like that whole encryption thing they're failing to push through; the fact that "this is an embarrassingly stupid and unworkable idea" never gets brought up just goes to show. They don't even know what encryption is, it's a joke.
This whole government makes a whole lot more sense once you come to the realisation that they're all mentally challenged in the literal sense. It wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't even conceptualise how the two things are related.
Just a learner of Japanese here. Japanese is difficult to read if written purely phonetically because there are a lot of homophones (words that sound the same with different meanings).
So typically kanji carries the root of words and kana is for all the grammatical parts, loan-words, and everything else. Hiragana/katakana duplicate each other but are no more redundant than lower/upper case.
Speaking as a learner, sometimes it's easier to learn the kanji than the sound of the word so sometimes it can make learning to read easier.
I view it like open source where commercial and non-commercial are on an even playing-field, what matters is their contribution. The freedom afforded by a healthy open-source ecosystem should mitigate negative commercial interests, it doesn't always work out like that but that's the kind of thing I would hope for.
There are actually extremely valuable contributions to open source from commercial entities.
There was nothing in the post indicating what app this was and "Remind" is a generic enough word, even if upper-cased, to make the service not obvious. It could be a porn-site for what we know, in which case that date should naturally be rejected.
What's so bad about that? Even on Lemmy I'm posting things in public, intended to be read by the public, and if somebody wants to train AI on what I've given to the public then good for them. I refuse to use a walled garden. Being proprietorial about online posts is probably not the most effective response to online surveillance. I agree that Huffman is a douchecanoe though.
The annoying thing for me is someone posting a question, getting help from the community, and then immediately deleting all their posts assuring that nobody can ever be helped by it again. This is kind of a reverse of that which I would say is probably less common?
I mean they are two things that co-exist, it's not like they're in commercial competition. Flatpak itself is usually distributed as an RPM or deb.
