Really great article, and thanks for posting the text of it.

Facebook is weird for me because it triggers my FOMO, but then if I use it all I see are a ton of random things with the most toxic people in the world living in the comments.

And similarly I just realized why my friends on instagram use stories and not posts, because for the most part stories is the only place I see content from people I know anymore (and again the FOMO).

I really relate to the sentence at the end, “there are people there but they don’t know why and most of what they are seeing is scammy or weird.”

Legally neither, this was a civil liability case and not a criminal proceeding. The war they are referring to is the Colombian conflict, which is ongoing.

Biden has said it out loud for nearly 40 years, “If there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one.”

It’s power projection in a traditionally less than friendly region. They might not like what they do, they might regret that they let them be an independent government, but they won’t do anything of real substance. Just ask the USS Liberty vets.

At least United Fruit did it with the knowledge, blessing, and assistance of the US government. Chiquita looking like amateurs here.

That combination works in Brave to search the forum (prefixing !ddg or !d) I’m surprised it doesn’t in Searx.

Galaxy Watch, the original Pixel Watch and the Apple Watch have no charging contacts. It’s really the way to go.

The contacts have been an issue forever, like I remember it messing up a Fitbit a decade ago. Really crazy that it’s still a problem.

While not run by the government, the Al Jazeera Media Network is partially funded by the government of Qatar. I don’t think this is a negative, but something people should be aware of.

With that kind of leadership we should be thankful he can’t run for president, or he’d end up voted in.

Before his Twitter addiction it was much easier to think of him as a rich genius like you see in comic books, mostly since nobody knew what he was thinking. He’s also managed a celebrity-like persona that someone like robot Mark Zuckerberg could never pull off. That and money will always get hangers on.

It’s slower, actually.

Are you really trying to argue over ways of locking down the phone?

On iOS, hitting vol up, then vol down, then hold power for a second will instantly lock down and also no danger of accidentally calling 911 or whatever.

It’s also the fast way to get to the power option.

The CEO of Onerep had founded multiple brokers.

What isn’t mentioned anywhere except the original investigation, it also claims to be a Virginia-based company but is operating out of Belarus and Cyprus.

Who’d have thought graduates of the Neville Chamberlain leadership school would be ineffective?

The Mozilla Corporation does not accept monetary donations, those go to the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. This is a common misunderstanding.

Mozilla Location Services is currently run by the Corporation. I imagine making that dataset public could have privacy implications, since it is likely relying on wifi locations.

The profits are owned by the Corporation, which is why the Corporation does all the crazy spending and paying millions to executives, because as long as there is enough separation what they do internally does not affect the tax situation of the Foundation. After the for-profit pays taxes, the non-profit can get dividends and other payments from them, but it is not just a way to wash away tax from all the money.

The Corporation acts like a company because it is one. This is different than Konqueror, Epiphany, or most of the Firefox forks.

Firefox is developed by a for-profit subsidiary.

That company actually abandoned Thunderbird years ago, within the past two years Thunderbird moved to its own (for profit) subsidiary.

The Mozilla Corporation is a for-profit company founded in 2005 by the Mozilla Foundation. I think part of the problem is more people don’t realize this. It’s the same reason you can’t donate to Firefox development, donations to “Mozilla” go to the Mozilla Foundation, not the company that builds Firefox.

They’d work for someone reading on mastodon.

If they also provided the paper, this is definitely something I could see them doing. They’d own the consumables at that point, and could probably take in some good money being able to tell advertisers exactly how many copies were delivered.

Fax spam is surprisingly still a thing, leave it to HP to bring it into the 21st century.

I have no complaints about my HP laser printer, although due to the activities at the company at large I will probably not buy one again, assuming this one ever dies and I can find a well supported replacement.

HP has really good Linux support, unfortunately it is better than many companies that “support” Linux, and it is more like their enterprise drivers than the bs they push on consumers. This HP replaced a Brother MFP in fact, because most of the functions did not work in Linux.
