Yes, that’s the same thing every time Firefox is mentioned here. It’s like people here WANT to be angry.

Is there an ebook service like GOG is for games? DRM free so you can keep the books regardless of what happens to the service?

(I know it’s easy enough to remove it, but I’d rather support a service like that if I can)

I’m always concerned about google maps because the alternatives suck, but google is making their services awful, one by one. I’m waiting for the day that google maps becomes terrible too. I do have openstreetmaps (using organic maps on android) and I fixed a few things about my local area there but it doesn’t have some of the features I’d like and it doesn’t seem like they have plans to add them.

Just as an example, business reviews. I can use yelp but it is nice that it’s right there. Also, the user submitted things like speed traps, accidents, etc.

Yep, one shape is paid for, the other shape is not (I forget, circles or squares), and to actually see the non paying businesses you have to zoom way in now.

They say it doesn’t affect search

Right, HR is there to protect the company. Your manager is (almost always) not the company. So if the manager is doing something fucky, that’s what HR is for.

At this point, probably not. But, at one time, I did leave Firefox for Chrome when it was new.

I use bitwarden over Firefox because it can auto fill into apps. So, my bank apps or whatever else. And I’m not tied to Firefox if, for some reason, I want to stop using it.

It’s similar to why I don’t use Samsung pass on my phone. It’d work better filling in the fields, but that’s not going to help me on my PC, and I don’t want to maintain multiple managers.

Because bacteria would need to implement defenses to both attacks simultaneously, the researchers calculated that drug resistance is nearly impossible.

I’m no expert by any means, but I do know that several genetic failsafes have to be overcome simultaneously for you to develop cancer, so I don’t see why it would be nearly impossible for bacteria to overcome only two things at once.

Side tangent, but I wish people would recognize that more. You didn’t disprove something by providing ANOTHER fact.

How is it not related?

To be fair, that’s a wild way to lift a laptop.

Being able to swap a battery to keep a phone working well for a few more years makes sense.

Android “swipe” keyboards in general are almost all terrible right now. We had it, I would get the correct word most of the time and I could do it fast. Now, no matter which one I try using - Google, Samsung, Microsoft, that FOSS one - nearly every sentence i type has some word that it gets wrong.

… just buy audiophile speakers and use a dac and amp? what do you mean?

Is the statement they’re quoting incorrect?

Personal experience, I can also attest to noticing the issue about 2019-2020.

“Good vehicle” is always subjective. It’s always going to be an opinion and will always have people who disagree.

I’m not sure what we’re referring to when we say pay back the debts, but as far as a societal collapse due to constant population growth - is that not just the basis of nature? If resources become scarce, population will decline since you can’t provide for everyone’s needs at that point. If resources are plenty, population can grow. I don’t see how a decline in population leads to societal collapse. Some countries are facing declining populations now, for other reasons, and they’re not collapsing. It’s a potential problem that would need to be faced, but collapse seems extreme to me.

If you care enough too you should submit it as a bug (if you haven’t). It’s for sure not a dead project.

It was updated last week.
