In 2022, Daniel Pryor, then head of research at the Adam Smith Institute think tank, warned that any tech-savvy teen would likely be able to circumvent restrictions, while adults entering their details stood every chance of being exposed in the event of a data breach.

Can't believe the Tories have got me agreeing with the Adam Smith Institute.

I'm not saying that these, or remakes generally, are bad(I've even been thinking of picking up the DS remake). I just don't think they should be contenders for GOTY.

Why are two remakes on this? It's not like this year has been short on good releases.

Damn, what are the odds?

Chrome, and browsers based on it, currently account for more than three quarters of web traffic. This gives Google a huge amount of power over the web and how people are able to interact with it. Google is also a company who's primary business is advertising and surveillance; this means they have every incentive to curtail your ability to stop websites from spying on you and force you to use the web on their terms. They're currently exercising this power with the rollout of Manifest V3, where they're severely limiting the functionality of content blocking extensions like uBlock Origin.

Checking if the user is using Firefox is pretty easy:

  javascript

    
CSS.supports('(-moz-user-input: none)') // only returns true in FF

  

Yeah, it should be six.

GTK currently has a CSS extension that lets you define named colours with @define-color.

Why wouldn't you use Afghanistan, the county America actually occupied for 20 years, here?

Interesting project, I hope it takes off. Definitely a problem I've run into.

website may be grammatically incorrect

I only noticed three small mistakes.

Communities in Lemmy are only federated if a user is subscribes to them from external instance.

This should be 'subscribed' and 'an external instance'.

I think mods (including me) wouldn't to put effort into a new community

Should be 'wouldn't want to'.

What's the flag south of the Confederate one? I can't find it on here.

Edit: Never mind, it's Rhodesia

I'm from the UK and I was definitely taught to use the genderless he in formal writing, I remember my teacher commenting on how sexist it was.

Also, no idea where you got the idea that the singular they is only a hundred years old, Oxford puts the earliest use of it to the fifteenth century.

Tablet, for whatever reason it gives blobby output like this:

It's main advantage, as far as I can tell, is having a much simpler interface. It's snapping tools are trivial to use and discover, but far less robust than Krita's assistant tool. It's easier to add brushes, but you have far less options in configuring them. I don't thinks there's anything that Firealpaca can do that's partially hard to do in Krita. Also, Firealpaca doesn't have a dark mode.

I'm not an experienced artist though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Its brush engine is kinda bad though. You basically have to turn on "Zero pressure at both ends" and put the stabiliser up to like 15 to get anything usable. Not sure I can recommend it.

Beeper's one, though they only fork the Element GUI which isn't affected by this.

Where did they deny the Holocaust? The comment that got removed for 'spreading nazi misinfo' seems to be them calling the modern Russian and Chinese states dictatorships that are engaging in genocide.

No it isn't, you pronounce an acronym as if it was its own word. The A and O in NATO are pronounced nothing like the ones in Atlantic and Organisation.

Imagine using software where the defaults are good.

devs are begging

Do you mean beginning?
