I wish they would ban me. I haven’t logged in in over 15 years and even block several of their servers, and yet I still get mails that someone in there commented on something.

Is it password1?

If the Internet has taught me anything, they’re 42 and 69.

You should be aware that “maintaining” that PC may be more than you expect. Just this weekend I had to help my aunt because the bank’s website had a “big thing in front of it” that she couldn’t get rid of. It turned out to be a cookie banner that was just a bit too big for her laptop screen, and the buttons to close it were out of the frame.

That’s just an example of course, but depending on the person(s) using it, there may need to be someone at hand to help at all times.

I agree - I wish it were more accurate, but anything raising awareness is nice.

A few things to note here. It is comparing deuteranomaly to protanopia. The first is anomalous trichromacy, the latter dichromacy - meaning the first type has all three cone types but one is malfunctioning, the latter is completely missing a (different) cone type. So this is not really a good comparison.

Second, as far as I know, no good anomalous trichromacy simulations exist. They all work by (usually linearly) interpolating between normal vision and dichromacy, but this is not supported by empirical evidence.

Third, this does not seem to take into account the lightness differences caused by missing cones.

Finally, while there are multiple types of “total colourblindness”, most if not all suffer from severe acuity problems as well, and usually many other vision problems. The final picture is very unrealistic.

The one that says “shortening” actually looks longer to me - like a long tunnel going off into the dark.

You mean the thing that Opera had in the 90s, and Vivaldi since inception?

I didn’t count them, but wired itself has a very impressive list of “partners” in their cookie disclaimer too.

I read this as “single player”.

The problem with all these alternatives is that the language selection is extremely limited. You want to learn English, French, German, or Spanish? Great, there are a million options for you! But if you go a bit more niche like Finnish or Irish, your options are much more limited. Of course there are ways to learn those languages - and much better ways than Duolingo. But Duolingo’s strength is offering a bunch of them, for free, in one place.

Note that I’m not trying to defend Duolingo, but rather deploring the lack of alternatives.

Rewind.

Removed ‘/dev/null’. You wouldn’t believe how many things rely on /dev/null.

This may or may not be illegal, depending on what the “this” is you’re agreeing to. As a simple example, if it is “you agree to functional cookies by continuing to use the site”, that’s fine. If it is “you agree to us scraping your computer and selling everything we find to China”, that is most definitely not legal, nor is refusing service if you don’t agree.

Indeed, this sounds like a scummy way to sell vpn. While it is true that Facebook embeds tracking in other sites, these can be easily blocked without vpn.

Note that since I don’t use Firefox some of these may actually be available, but I don’t know about them.

• Mouse gestures.
• A status bar that stays on screen.
• The ability to select part of a link’s text.
• Tab stacking.
• Tab tiling.
• Opening a link in either a foreground or background tab. This is available as a toggle in the settings only.
• Ad block.
• Spatial navigation.
• Customisable keyboard shortcuts for pretty much everything.

These are the ones that matter to me, there are more that I don’t personally use.

Note that I explicitly said Chrome is worse. And “dozens” was likely an exaggeration. But yes, compared to Vivaldi, Firefox has very little customisation.

Ever since the first release, I’ve tried Firefox a few times. Each time I was left with a feeling of needing dozens of extensions to get it up to par with the browser I was using at the time (mainly Opera and now Vivaldi). The extensions I found were never customisable enough, and would often break and/or be abandoned after a while.

Don’t get me wrong: Chrome, IE, Edge, and Safari are worse - each time I used them I got the urge to throw my computer out the window after just a few minutes. But Firefox is just not customisable enough to my liking, and extension are IMO not the answer.

I have to say I find it ironic that all replies here are about the lane splitting too.
