Just tried the compact tabs in Safari and that’s a great design!

It’s great at least on macOS and iOS.

Profiles on the macOS version made me switch to it from Safari as my daily driver.

That’s an overly simplistic and very rosy eyed take in my opinion.

Is that ignoring all the homeless people in the states, the people living in trailers, in their cars and so on while working multiple jobs?

A lot of people never buy a home. And to my knowledge the number of people who will never be able to afford to buy a home is only increasing.

So yes indeed, renting is not my preferred way of dealing with housing in our society, but it is the reality for a lot of people.

They have to find another solution.

But instead of that lasting forever since their situation never becomes so that they can afford to buy a nice home, which is the case for many people, they only have to deal with that for 10 years at which point they get a lot of choices for nice homes at an affordable price.

It’s the same here in Denmark.

Or simply that a diet not meeting the nutritional needs can be correlated to worse athletic performance. And since meat is dense in nutrition, and since places with less meat available sometimes is low income, I think it’s plausible.

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.

I've heard about, and tried to get into the Discworld a few times, but it never really happened. I think I tried Guard! Guards! twice. Maybe I was in a different headspace, or maybe it was just not for me. But then I tried Small Gods, and it's the best thing I've read since (the nutrition label on the back of) sliced bread. No, really, it's lovely! I'll be done tomorrow according to my Kobos statistics, and then I just need to figure out what I'm gonna read next. Cannot wait to find out about all the things out there in the Discworld that I don't know about yet.

No, we’re worried about the precedent it sets.

This[1] comment explains it very well. It just cements why I moved back to Linux on my laptop, and will be moving to something running open source software on my phone, and open hardware on all my devices.

“Anti-government” is absurdly vague.

That's the point. It's not an open to the public list, it's secret and controlled by few. It can contain whatever they want it to contain.

Not how this system works.

That's absurdly naive.

Where there is a slope, riders will come. The only way to prevent people from riding the slope is to never built the slope in the first place.

Except the list of hashes is a black box. Today it's child porn, tomorrow it's anti-government or something similar. It's a slippery slope that's only going in one direction.

If you think it's not spreading to Android phones, you are naive. Apple set the precedent, now it's gonna come to every mainstream device.

The only option is to abandon ship.

There’s the whole NSO Pegasus that answers for how regarding remotely. However social engineering is also possible. Drunk out in town makes an easy target for a skilled social engineer.

All in all - it’s very possible.

Now we just need to place a photo on our opponents phones - journalists, politicians, someone whos job you want, you name it - and their phone will call the police itself and bring the proof too, and it's their burden to prove their innocence.

This reminds me of vegan bacon.

If you dont want to eat meat, why try and replicate the taste, texture and sensation of eating meat?

What is this taste, texture, and sensation of meat in regards to bacon you're talking about? Bacon is the opposite of the actual taste, texture, and sensation of meat. It's cooked, salted, and processed to give it that taste, texture, and sensation.

It's the same with people making fun of plant-based burgers and sausages. Well, guess what, burgers and sausages don't exist in nature, neither as meat nor plant. Well, actually... Cucumbers and a few other plants seem quite like sausages. Anyways. The burger, sausage, and bacon form factor is what makes it attractive. It's why people have liked it for so long, and why people like it still when they switch to a plant-based diet.

I guess it's the same reason why some people are into Airyx OS.

Libraries, especially public ones, are a wonderful thing.

Bugs are not really problem if they have amble places to live and gather nutrition and so on.

We have a wild garden, and people often ask if there are not bugs everywhere, and tell us they like grass to keep the bugs away. Well quite contrary - our findings are, that in our wild garden, bugs are around the plants, in the plants, but they are not are problem in the spaces we have created for ourself at all. I think people have misunderstood why insect swarm.

In Japan, in summer, you don't survive without aircon. 35 C with 90+% humidity, fans and opening windows won't help you anymore.

How did people survive until the widespread use of AC?

Does it really? With what I’ve been reading about what is going on over at Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook, this doesn’t surprise me at all. It’s awful, but not surprising. And reading about how Amazon treats it’s employees, as has been covered on this site numerous times in the last while, it’s even less surprising.

And continuing to use those services is giving a vote for those practices to keep on keeping on, and that people still use them? Well, no, it’s not surprising but it’s sad.

Thank you and is that Jorge Luis Borges? Anything in particular you suggest?

Great! Thanks a lot for that! Have a good one.

I’ll try that, thank you.

The Dark Forest

This is a tangent, but have you found any other books you can recommend for someone having a hard time finding sci fi books they like while absolute adoring The Three-body Problem trilogy / Remembrance of Earth's Past?

It’s a cultural thing and cultures can and do change.

So its about core values, it’s about principles. It’s because people focus on something else than craftsmanship and creating great things.

Obviously, it’s because of how our society and culture is oriented. But I’d like to see that change.

Thanks. Definitely food for thought!

Can you explain how you wash your butt afterwards? Do you take a shower? Sit in the sink and rinse with soap?

Sure, but that was not the claim by the parent. It's a bit unintuitive the way the parent wrote the claim, but the parent said the currency lost its value by 250% which is not really possible. What I think the parent means is that it became 2,5 times less worth. That is, what before could buy 100 apples can now buy 40 apples since 100/1=100 and 100/2,5=40, and as you say it, that means the value is down by 60% - same thing. At least that is how I understand what the parent claimed.
