Q1: do you want an echo chamber? because that’s how you get an echo chamber

Q2: idk

Okay, who had “I can’t do my homework and it’s Microsoft’s fault” on their bingo card

I mean, you could install a handful of them from the add-ons menu for the last few years, and depending on which fork you used, that list expanded quite a bit, and even included all* add-ons (though many are broken) via a list-system that basically forced the install of unsupported add-ons. But FF native is supposedly nearly ready to allow a slew of, in theory, tested and compatable add-ons, so this install-from-file feature is likely to test which work. I think I remember reading that a couple hundred add-ons are going to be enabled for mobile without trickery quite soon.

But it’s the rubber dome keys that make up his password keys. The mechs are just a distraction.

Time to get out of Google Podcasts for anyone that is still using the service

I have a Gmail account that catches/forwards stuff now and again that I signed up for over a decade ago, before I used a password manager and kept track of everything, and YouTube. A Google store line of credit, too, for pixels. Everything else I’ve migrated to my own website, or my own ‘cloud’.

There was a big issue with Google Store/Fi Store a few years ago where devices were being ‘lost’ in transit, and it ended up being FedEx employees stealing them and resealing the packages. But Google’s handling of the situation was absolutely shit, and two years of reading horror stories usually around bf or the holidays, drove me to migrate my account, one service at a time, to somewhere I could actually control and trust - as it is well-known that if you do a chargeback on G, they axe your gPay access, which means you can’t buy or pay for anything: drive/photo storage, gOne, devices, apps/music/movies/games/books, app subscriptions, pay your bill on Fi or gDomains… and if it happened to me, I would not sit quietly with no device for weeks or months while G put the blame and suspicion on me. Fuck all that. Chargeback baby, it’s not gonna be my problem anymoreeeee~

Took me from an outspoken G fanboy to ‘run the fuck away’ within 24 months, and all it took was stories of other’s being treated like shit and being on the hook for hundreds or a thousand+ dollar devices, over and over, while support did fuck-all and the actual people ‘investigating’ were not accessible by any means.

This is ofc on top of G axing shit because they feel like it. Run your own mini server, own your data, don’t be at the non-existant mercy of a massive soulless corporation.

Only took a decade -_-

Eh, I use a few apps that have true foss forks and thus don’t use gcm but the keep-alive method, and I didn’t notice a difference in battery when I made the switch.

Also lol #3 isn’t exactly a “burden”, take the hint and go away people. Let me live in blissful solitude.

False; it’s now going to be offered to consumers, too.

That’s the entire article, you’re welcome.

In the summer, “could you turn the A/C down a bit?” “why, you’re hot?” as it’s set to 85F…

it contains a constant volume of water

This guy has never been to the Phoenix area :P we even have rivers with no water, too! Bring the whole family, camp out and have imaginary marco / polo by the hill infested with scorpions, only a half-mile from the city dump! Bring your RV so you can feel like a complete moron with the other people who thought it was a great idea to buy a mini house on wheels that gets 6 miles to the gallon. And if you are early to rise, you can make Laughlin a day-trip to lose all your social security check by dusk, before sauntering back to the depression-rut of a life you have carved out for yourself. Because living in a desert with a large elderly population, just-barely-enough power during the summer even though there is a fucking nuclear power plant 20 miles out of town, and has been in a drought for my entire life while everyone waters their lawn 3 times a week, never felt so good!

Oh sorry I got mixed up with my “fuck off and stop moving here” speech. Give me 10 minutes.

It do be like that (old ppl voting R). Plus for whatever reason they all want to be here before they die, so it’s a big stubborn aged community.
