The browser is the best the devs can do with the limitations and restrictions from the management.


Yes, and then you have companies like Proton Mail.


Such companies “sponsor” everyone. It’s cheaper than normal advertisements.


tl;dr
If you ever need to start a line with parens or brackets, consider using a ; right before it, as so many have adopted. Although, there is rarely a case where this would become a necessity.


If you want to open Edge without actually wanting to open it, just accidentally click on one of the advertisements in the main menu or any info area widget. Those ignore the default browser and always open Edge.


Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍


We should make it more clear, that it is not “Mastodon is the thing” but “ActivityPub is the thing, and Mastodon is just one of many implementations”


You can easily remap it to something useful.


At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.


AI bro’s “won” again.


Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation! 🔍


This bit is awesome:
There isn’t enough money to do this without diverting most of the money that exists to doing it, and even if that were to happen, there isn’t enough time to do any of the stuff that has been promised in anything approaching the timelines promised, because OpenAI is making this up as it goes along and somehow everybody is believing it.


FreeCAD: Pros: free, open source. Cons: workflow as rough as sandpaper, constantly crashes.
It has a learning curve (like all software), yes. But I cannot confirm the crashes.


Getting a burner phone and account and only tun it on when you want to check the messages is a good start. Do not use any of your real information.
When I left FB a decade ago they didn’t force a phone number for the messenger, thy basically just requested all possible permissions.


They would lose likely 98% of their player base.


tldr:
“Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus,” the dish description from Sikar’s Royal Roll Express restaurant reads. “Common in childhood.”
A misreading of the dish name in question — “Chicken Pops” — could well explain why an AI may have spat out a description for what sounds an awful lot like chicken pox, a common childhood virus that causes the exact kind of nasty “blister-like bumps” detailed on the menu.


Why would people in the right mind bind the right to vote to a document that allows you to operate a vehicle on public roads anyways?


depending on how you look
… and even more where you cross the border. If I want to go (like in “just walk there”) from Poland to Germany, I could use this bridge for example:

It’s really just an ordinary bridge across a river, no border patrol, no ID check, nothing. Just walk from one country into another.
Or if I want to cross the border from Germany to France, I could just use that publicly accessible hiking path:

(Seen from French side, the barrier where the people sit is the whole border crossing point.) And this bridge with a view brings you from France to Spain.

Except border check points you’ll find luxury housing on French side and commercial buildings (stores and some warehouses) on Spain side.
At no point in that imaginary journey (now that I think about it, this would make a great road trip with hiking parts) you need your ID card when you travel to another country.
Long story short: It’s really easy to cross borders in the EU.
So this version gets all the paid cloud features, too?
