I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
Okay I hate the “grid view” so much that I actually figured it out. You have to add “pref_key_tab_view_grid” in fenix_preferences.xml and set it to false.
Between that and realizing that you can configure it to show visited links in a different colour like normal, Ironfox is my new favourite android browser. Maybe the only acceptable one I’ve found. The tab settings thing not working is not unique to it, strangely. Maybe something weird about my phone?

Wow, they finally fixed “other issue in the JavaScript Engine component.” Good job everyone. I wonder what it was.
Imagine how malevolent the next generation of AI will be, when it’s trained on today’s Internet text.
Early 90s the pirate BBS scene was still going strong. You could dial in and tie up your phone line for days at a time. My guess is it was about as common then as it is today, relative to the size of the game industry.
The total amount of money that’s spent on roads and driving in car-oriented cultures is absolutely fucking astounding when you add it all up. Counting only “highways” is just the tip of the iceberg.
Strange how Denuvo being cracked doesn’t change how I feel about it at all.
Given what passes for “news” some of the time I suppose you might find some better-conceived piece about poo-flinging in e.g. The Guardian, but personally I think rule 2 is where we run into real problems here.
There’s some small chance that this is not machine-generated slop, but it’s still not Not The Onion material.
Some people are just more comfortable with good old familiar units like baby elephants per corgi. What do they even use for that in the metric system? Millihectares per decilitre or something? Whatever.
“The cloud” is just somebody else’s computer.
Okay great, but steam engines from the mid 19th century could probably outrun humans too.
I was using mullvad a couple years ago. Configs didn’t change often, I updated it once or twice a year or whenever the old one stopped working.
They did have a “killswitch” type option available, I think. But it didn’t seem really useful since normally when wireguard fails (on linux at least) it does not “disconnect” — it just stops any traffic getting through until it’s working again.
You stick the config in /etc/wireguard and then it’s just wg-quick down endpoint1 ; wg-quick up endpoint2 to switch locations. (Being wary that the VPN will be down for a moment.) You can name them whatever you like of course.
Setting up DNS properly is not that hard and only needs doing once.
People are right to be worried about data collection by Chinese automakers. People would be a hell of a lot more right if they worried about data collection by American automakers as well.
I think the window for having that debate was some time around 1992.
Saying “on the count of three” before you start counting is optimal, in timelines where that tradition is widely known. It’s more words the first time but many people need the time provided by saying them to mentally prepare, and then if you need repeated counts no such preparation is necessary and each one takes only three beats.
Encouraging more teen pregnancies seems like it might cause problems for the education system, but that’s okay; Fox News loves the uneducated.
Personally I suspect that the best cure for a low fertility rate is a good 60 to 100 years of declining population size. It’s worth a try anyway.
It’s gambling all the way through, but sure enough there’s some amount of information to be found in the way people are betting.
As I understand it, the psychology of other participants does come into it in much the same way it does in a poker game or the stock market. One doesn’t strictly bet on the outcome of events — in all such markets that I heard about positions can be taken up and then sold for profit as opinion shifts, before the predictions are ever constrained by actual outcomes.
I have some doubts about the Russian minister’s understanding of the tenets of Satanism.
