Personally, I'd like it to be able to do it sometimes without having to set it to happen every time. In other words, I'd like a "restore previous session" UI element in the history interface.

I should probably look into some of the extensions folks in this thread are talking about.

If you want them to be recoverable, then you've got a bit of a misunderstanding about what private browsing mode is for. Not saving history is basically its whole "thing."

We dressed up, drank booze...

I've never quite understood the appeal of ren faires, mainly because I'm frugal and I always felt like there wasn't much to do except buy stuff. Reading your comment, I think there might be a key step or two that I overlooked.

Unfortunately, "joining MARTA" and "getting rail" are far from synonymous, as Clayton is learning the hard way. But the United States in general's comprehensive inability to build infrastructure in a reasonable timeframe these days is a rant for another thread...

Tell me you live in California without telling me you live in California.

(Or maybe elsewhere in the west, or maybe Australia or something -- the point is, it's not a rural thing, it's a rural + arid climate thing.)

And for those now suddenly wondering why Europe isn't even colder than it actually is, the answer is that the Gulf Stream brings a lot of heat. Also, the reason why it hasn't historically tended to get as hot as the American upper midwest/great plains during the summer is that the rest of the water surrounding it, such as the Med and the Baltic, helps moderate the temperature (as opposed to the "continental" climate of the midwest).

I hope so, but that's cold comfort to this already-fired teacher.

Also, even if it flipped today (and "soon" isn't that soon), it'd still be decades and decades before Cobb gets MARTA rail. Cobb's influence on metro Atlanta as whole is an unmitigated catastrophe and probably will be for the rest of my lifetime.

FYI, Peertube exists.

So what? The school board and other elected officials haven't.

If you care about supporting creators, donate to their patreon or buy merch or something. The idea that YouTube Premium needs to insert itself as a middleman for that purpose is nothing but a red herring.

Serving video is expensive.

Only for copyright control freaks unwilling to use bittorrent-style multicast distribution. That's a "them" problem, not an "us" problem.

In reaction to this news from YouTube, I signed up for Premium. $12/mo for my main source of content? Easy decision.

Congratulations on being a consumer removed, I guess?

Sigh... of course it's fucking kkkobb county.

We are the lobbyists. For example, my city is currently doing this, so it's up to people like me to show up at the meetings and demand changes like that. You can do the same in your city or county by talking to your local political rep, even when they aren't doing a wholesale rewrite like they are here.

LOL, maybe in a competent school system. Meanwhile, in my kids' school system even things like signing up to pay for school lunches is outsourced to some shitty third-party service with an outrageous ToS that includes a binding arbitration clause with said arbitration being conducted in Louisiana (a different state hundreds of miles away).

Fine, use one app but make it the Free Software one, then.

Regardless, it is completely unreasonable to dictate that people consent to onerous third-party corporate terms of service in order to access government services, especially ones enforced by truancy laws!

Maximums aren't necessarily the problem, since developers are incentivized by market forces not to build more parking than necessary.

The problem is parking minimums, which are based on numbers pulled out of somebody's ass 80 years ago and (to the extent they correlated with anything at all) tend to be closer to the maximum that could ever conceivably be needed (think "Black Friday at a shopping center") more than anything else!

Last I checked (which admittedly was the better part of a decade ago), Comcast claimed the first basic set-top box was "free," but gave you a couple bucks of refund each month if you demanded a CableCard instead.

In other words, it's not free and they're liars.
