Do I want to know what opensea is?

Who is he? What does he stream about? Is he really a doctor?

I’ve never heard of this guy but I’m not very attentive to streamer drama. Is this significant beyond there now being N+1 known bozos in the world instead of N?

A locked phone and an overpriced monthly contract is precisely a payment plan. As far cheap phones, I like Motorola but I’m sure other stuff is out there as well.

Why not zero?

Interesting, I tend to worry less about the password store than external password managers. Maybe you are onto something and I should research it further. But the breaches I hear about have all been with external managers. I particularly don’t want anything uploading passwords to remote storage. If I have to share a password between two machines (laptop and phone), I just transfer it manually. Another minor nuisance.

I just set fennec to delete all the cookies and stuff when I “quit” from the pulldown menu. Yeah that logs me off of sites but that’s ok, I use the built in password store to log back in quickly. If I just close the browser rather than selecting “quit”, the cookies stay around. So I use “quit” when I want to get rid of the cookies, maybe a few times a day.

Fennec has a setting that does that?

Saw reddit thread about this. Apparently the jail sentence is all but symbolic, since the defendants are currently outside Switzerland. As long as they don’t go back, they will never see the inside of a jail.

Do you want something that also has CDN like Cloudflare? Bunny.net is good, but way more expensive than a cheap VPS if you use a lot of traffic.

You might not remember that the original Macintosh had 128KB. That’s KB with a K.

It is very hard to do that accurately. Fitness watches use accelerometers to detect body movement, pulse measurement etc. and still aren’t great. Real monitoring uses a lot more instruments including EEG. If you think you might need that, ask your Dr about a sleep study.

Named after astronomer Vera C. Rubin (1928-2016), I guess.

There is also an observatory under construction in Chile named after her.

Micro SD is probably the least reliable but all these media kind of suck. You need redundancy and frequent testing etc. A pain. I think it gets worthwhile when you have enough data to fill several spinny drives so you can set up a RAID. That means at least 20TB these days. My own stuff right now is on Hetzner Storage Box plus several mongrel servers.

Do you mean it downloads all the posts whether you read them or not? Is that basically running your own instance?

Yeah I don’t see mention in the article of (so far) any observable reaction from the US pharma industry. It’s maybe reasonable as conjecture but not something we can claim as a fact.

1. I didn’t open that ticket. I encountered the issue, went to the tracker, and found there was already a ticket open.

2. Tickets have priority labels. The existence of a workaround like pasting the password to a program with a different display font means this bug is not a showstopper. That doesn’t mean it is not a bug.

3. No it’s not just this one bug. There are plenty more. I can link more tickets if you want. I was going to do that but the discussion about the password font bug spiralled.

4. What is happening is mostly an attitude problem, it seems. People like you, seeing a code bug, instead of fixing it (or in this case at least recognizing that it should be fixed), go around searching for rationalizations for leaving it unfixed. It being unfixed while Mozilla continues to bloat up the browser with more new crap is instead evidence of Mozilla’s priorities being screwed up.

That’s interesting. Last time I did it I had to manually install a ridiculous amount of dependencies one by one, among other things. I will have to try Nixos (or Guix) sometime. Computers are faster now too. I remember taking way more than 2 hours but it was on a slow machine by today’s standards. Thanks.

This is on my phone (Android Firefox), not the computer (desktop Firefox). Yes some of the characters in the font are indistinguishable. That’s why there’s a ticket open after all. And even if crappy workarounds exist, it can and does still suck. Thus, JMINS.

Why do you defend this crap? I never understand what makes people do that.

Hardy har har. I have a saved password on my phone and I want to use it on my laptop. This happens now and then but not often enough to want to introduce another software dependency and its security problems. It’s a password (randomly generated, but still), not War And Peace. Simple enough-- read it off the phone and type it into the laptop, but no. They used a font that makes some characters indistinguishable, there is a 2 year old open ticket to fix it, and you sit there making wisecracks. Found the issue:
