There is no c in Frikadelle.

I wish that was true. But as someone manufacturing medical devices in China for the American market, I can tell you that some components can only be obtained from the US. Usually it's some very specific sensors that are patented by US companies, so even if knowhow to replicate them exists, I couldn't use those parts in devices I'm selling back to the States.

What that means is that I now have to buy several components at twice their normal going rate, which brings the total price of the machine up by around 20%, and then I sell the finished product back to the US with another 84% on top, making the product more than twice as expensive for the hospitals buying them. And knowing hospital practices in the US, they'll tack on their standard margin, so patients pay at least triple for the treatment.

I'd consider myself liberal, but I embrace some traits considered leftist in some areas (universal healthcare, free education) and right in others (restrict immigration based on key economic and educational indicators, deport criminals).

Fennec, you can log in with your Mozilla sync account and access them from any other sync-enabled browser in their ecosystem.

Yeah old Firefox was the best. With a bookmark menu on the left where I could scroll forever and see it at a glance.

Those top bars are awful shit, and I cannot fathom how anybody uses them.

Sounds like Europe. Maybe a bit more extreme since property crimes and financial crimes exceeding a certain monetary amount will get you jailed, but "casual" offenders will get exactly that.

And no death penalty, that's just barbaric to begin with.

I can't switch to Linux due to software requirements for work. On my personal computer I'm using Xubuntu for well over a decade, I didn't like the unity window manager of Ubuntu. I heard they changed to something else by now, but I can't be bothered to switch.

I mean, do the maths. A high res picture is 8-15 MB in size, and a 4k video has 60 fps (frames per second). Let's take 12 MB as average picture size, that gives you 12MB x 60 frames x 60 seconds = 43.2 GB/min. With some advanced compression algorithms you can maybe get the individual frame size down to half, but that's really it.

Those were awesome!

Frustrates me as well, but the reason is quite simple that people search for "$device cable", and sellers need to list all of them so the search engine of choice lands the user there.

They should still list the specs though.

Chameleon add-on for Firefox, randomly rotates your browser, OS, screen size, timezone, device type, language, and other customizable parameters every x minutes.

I've set it to do so every 5 minutes, and to omit desktop & tablet as device types (else some websites display the respective page) and timezones (messed up 2FA).

I also disabled blackberry and windows phone from the manufacturer ID, that would have the opposite effect from obscuring me.

For the rest of it, it's working great.

Swype enabled keyboards are awesome though. I loved my BB, but the screen real estate that a digital keyboard clears up is quite significant.

Chat is only available in the official client, the implementation is closed source. So yeah most likely that.

So you go back to your negative review, edit it, and insert a random space somewhere. Did just that.

The investors have a seat in the board of directors in xAI, and for a shareholder deal you must have board approval. So at least more than 50% of the directors support this, meanings he is legally in the clear.

Very good point, I didn't really consider that. And now I feel bad for not replying more to your elaborate response, but there's simply nothing else I could add.

Oh we did use third party tools, and there were 5-8 moderators depending on which sub. I just loved the mod queue on reddit sync to just approve/delete reports on the go. Since I'm in Asia I often got them before my US counterparts, so could clean up the queue early on.

As long as they are still publishing the apk to f-droid, as a user I hardly care where it's hosted.

Wrong thread?

Their IPO was priced below $100, thus far the model still works. I'm guessing they'll go the way of facebook, with dwindling user engagement but somewhat stable ad revenue since people go there out of habit or through links from random google searches for obscure topics.
