Didn’t he cheat on his wife and get caught as well?

How does that make sense? How does putting a “Download PDF” button on their site with no restrictions make this a “me” problem?

They definitely weren’t monitoring the one at a time rule… I downloaded the file and now have it forever

I was looking for resources for a custom LLM and noticed they had a ton of copyrighted books and wondered to myself how the heck that was legal

I guess this answers that

I have concerns about the success of this platform. I am convinced what makes TikTok great isn’t necessarily the algorithm (its good, no doubt) but the volume of content. There are so many users producing content that the amount of content you find enjoyable is always more than you could scroll through in a day.

A platform like this will be boring pretty fast when you scroll through the 100 new videos uploaded that day in an single hour, and you skip many of them. It’s tough to generate enough content without enough users, and most of the content will likely just be aggregated from the other short-form sites. Of course that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s a more privacy-friendly way to browse that content, which is a plus.

Also, not particularly a fan of more brain-rotting short form content. It’s crazy how addictive it is and I’m wanting less, not more. But if I had to choose a “shorts” platform I’d sure like a federated, free one to be the one to succeed. But it’s got a long way to go

Damn, you gave me hope but it didn’t work :( I’ll have to do some searching for a solution. Up until now I’ve just accepted it as an annoyance

I noticed this and the fact that Ctrl + Shift + L no longer autofills. That was my favorite feature but for some reason it has stopped working

One thing that always stuck out to me about the book is the introduction of certain editions. The author writes about himself researching the history of the country the story takes place in and describes it as real, saying he took his son to a museum with Inigo’s sword and everything.

I was Googling furiously when I read it because I was so confused. I was astounded that the place (and people) was “real”. It took a bit of research to find that the author just does this bit and hasn’t let it go since he wrote the book

I’m still so charmed that he tricked me. It made reading the book that much sillier, for me

Regardless of how many people do it, you can do it. Then you can have the “clean” interface you want

What do you mean by clean? Firefox UI is highly customizable, you can even add spacing where you want it, or select a more compact view

The US has a lot of bullshit in their labeling requirements. My wife studied food science in university and some of her biggest complaints are:

• Serving sizes aren’t always the entire package*
• “Natural” has almost no meaning on a package, it is just a hand-waving word
• They can hide a lot of things in the ingredients under umbrella terms like “spices” and “flavorings”
• “Made with real juice” does not mean it was made with the juice on the label. For example, a pineapple fruit juice may be more apple juice than actually pineapple juice
• They can round down to 0 calories if the actual amount is below 5

The most egregious example I’ve seen lately was a jar of pickles I bought where the serving size is 1/3 of a pickle (now the website says 1/2). That’s just so that the sodium doesn’t get out of control and, in all likelihood, because an entire pickle may be more than the 5 Calories allowed to say it’s “0 Calories”.

*This is changing, slowly. Manufacturers now have to put servings for the entire container if it’s small enough

“Do you think fighting can be part of a healthy relationship?”

My wife and I rarely fight, we’ve maybe had two or three in our entire relationship, and they weren’t yelling matches We just got upset and patched things up relatively quickly. I don’t think I could be with someone who thinks raising their voice at another person is okay, and surely not if they think it can be healthy. And hard “hell no” to any violence.

So, this is a weedout question

Actually, the middle man is why I picked them… I’m just trying to give Mozilla extra revenue streams besides donations from Google.

But it is good to know its at least not a bad option. Their client is decent enough, I have no problems with it, so I’m happy to continue to support them and think of it as a monthly donation

Apparently unpopular but I use Mozilla VPN

Not entirely. Privacy Badger will also block embedded social media posts, replacing them with opt-in viewing.

They’re more expensive because they aren’t filled with advertising. Consumer TV prices these days are heavily subsidized by brand deals and ad space

Winter is the same, although it can be noticeably more difficult to recover if your pattern gets disrupted for any reason. So for that I use a light that simulates sunrise
