This smacks of corporate social media bullshit more than anything organic

On the plus side, the more people who don't use password managers the more chance us password manager users will remain not worth the effort.

It's kinda like security through obscurity mixed with only having to be faster than the slowest person to outrun a lion.

I don't even care if that original post was a pure work of fiction, I still have CBat on my favourites and every time I hear it start and that big build up leads to nothing but squeaky sad clown noses it makes me giggle so hard my mood is instantly improved. Best anti depressant ever.

I was talking about something mainstream from oneplus, realme, etc.

Aye, no true Chinese phone maker would be a piece of crap

By this argument I could join a tennis tournament and take a shit on the court and punch the judge and you’d think that makes me a star player because people that don’t follow tennis heard of me.

Where did I say I thought they were a star? I just said they're the only one I remember. If you shat on a tennis court in front of (hundreds of?) millions of people during a global broadcast event I reckon I'd remember you too.

Right, but you can see why from my perspective I would find my own mindshare the the most important?

Oh, right.

You could try an extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/cookiewhitelist/

From my point of view it certainly is

Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet

Eh?

What's the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster... But there's no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren't taking risks any more.

It's previous phone release + .1

Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.

Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds...

I've had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.

Don't recognise any of them. If they wanted some valuable mind share they should have tried harder to stand out.

Of all the people who took part in the breakdancing, I only remember one name... RAYGUN, pew pew.

But more often than not, Australia’s citizens found themselves little better off if at all. This turned out to be a common international experience for other countries privatising their utilities.

Name one thing that's been privatised that has resulted in any combination of better product, better service, or better price?

"three to four" countries... Who's the fractional country having a crack?

I use to get a "trk special" at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.

It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.

Another one they added to their menu board was the "xxxx trucks special" which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.

Doesn't work on Firefox for Android

Not sure why I'm bothering to check when there's other superior options that already work though.

The ironic thing about boomerangs is that they always come back to the person who threw them.

Yeah but what are they gonna do about it, throw a boomerang?
