And the argument is sound even without appeal to authority. You’re so right!

Thanks for fleshing out the full picture. So perhaps the largest TVs at the store are getting some pretty big subsidies, courtesy Advertising Inc.

And good tip on Best Buy. Thank you. What an informative lil comment, Leo 😎

Nice!

Choose ur own comment adventure? A or B!

A.

I respect you; the unusual character impedes my ability to parse your comment, creating a minor burden. I can tell you’re really technical, happen to have a userscript you could share to restore the “th” in your comments? Or could include normal version in spoiler tags? (That’d work on mobile too)

Know no obligation, polite request fedineighbor!

B.

Thx for expanding my brain via challenging parsing

yo WTF

all nations are being targeted by foreign automated propaganda through their social networks to promote shifts in their governments

Did we win WWII? Did we lead tech for years and years? WHAT HAPPENED? Why USA so friggin exposed to social media equivalent of script kiddies (no, worse/dumber). Like SERIOUSLY we still have some of the best bombs and while we were spending billions developing those WE IGNORED THE FUCKING INTERNET?!

(Yes I would work to make this better, have some small skills here, but don’t understand how we missed an INTERNET sized risk)

Steve, ain’t we glad to have ya! Welcome :)

2022 brought one of the best screens for outdoor work… for a price, but of course

Is it annoying enough you’d actually want to try fixing it or is the Notepad workaround good enough?

But but but that’s unacceptable!

Custom hotkey to trigger simple plaintext clipboard script, couldn’t live without it.

(“Script“ is a scary word for many of us but you probably only ever see the code once or instead use some free open source clipboard manager that has “replace clipboard with plain text“ built-in.)

Anyway you’re right, I probably still use a similar workaround once a week!

they [have a job] for [money].

Maybe us too, to be fair

Didn’t expect this in my search results

Inkjet printers are prone to clogging when they aren’t used regularly. The print heads have microscopic nozzles that can dry out and block, leading to poor print quality, streaks, or missing colors. To keep them clear, it’s essential to run a small amount of ink through them periodically.

InkjetStandby solves this problem with a simple, yearly solution. Each week, we provide a printable page with a tiny, multi-colour test pattern. The pattern is placed in a different position each week on a 52-grid layout, allowing you to use a single sheet of paper for an entire year. Just print the page, and you’re done.

(emphasis mine)

Was looking for a weekly cron script as an example of the ink drying issue being prevalent, but this is neat

But you know what’s the safest way for us to keep your password safe? Not asking for one to begin with. By not creating a password with us you have no risk of it leaking, and we don’t have to deal with the responsibility of keeping it secure. The sign in link is going to your email, which presumably is protected with two-factor authentication, if you have it set up (which you should!).

They had a follow up later too (paywall)

lol nice, this is one tech thing I have not complained about even though I hit it a few times a year

This behavior increases enjoyment and utility of the Internet. Thank you!

Thought it could be a liability sometimes! Maybe that ship sailed

paranoid

Mm who wants to rely on someone keeping a verbal promise when it says in writing something like your privacy is at stake?

Download a little offline Wiki for rainy days folks!

I take connectivity for granted but shouldn’t. Batteries charged, books on the shelf, offline games and media stored locally…

That makes you different eh? Love that. Means I could actually use it :D

Congratulations!

Tradeoff question—

Should I expect to find some semblance of safety in sticking with the largest open source browser project I can find, given perhaps the eyeballs etc., or would you reckon not (or even perhaps the opposite, security through obscurity & Umbra is “safer” than Firefox)?

Maybe this is so “lightly” forked it’s “just” stripping + cosmetics & the risk profile is essentially identical?
