If it's a good idea then it isn't. You really don't want to be instituting a change like this when you find out you need to.

On the other hand there's no clear path to usefulness for quantum computers whatsoever

Define crypto as share trading, and tax it accordingly.

These won't prove anything because they're ugly.

That's what we call a confounding factor

They don't know shit, some fraud convinced some policy maker that their snake oil was real

Not as much as it boggles the mind how people can still think Musk is a genius. Literally all of his wealth is based on their beliefs making them make stupid decisions which enrich him.

Tell me something everyone but maggots doesn't already know.

SpaceX chose to use LEO in order to address latency. The drag is just a bonus. But if they used a higher orbit, then the satellites would be further apart from one another. The risk of Kessler syndrome would be higher if a collision occurred, but there would also be less collision risk.

Yeah, we never discovered this problem, because there are no eyeballs at all.

If you can't learn to think, at least learn to read.

Anything is possible, but I have been pretty careful not to join anyone else's lists. I do publish a couple... but they are blocklists.

This is why Firefox is so shit now: Denialism.

Exactly. I have a pi-hole and it's great for helping block ads in Android apps, but it misses a lot, especially in web pages.

Reminds me of the old APK HOSTS FILE ENGINE spam we all used to love seeing on Slashdot. Everyone (rightfully) gave him shit for it, but Pi-hole is exactly the same thing. Blocking based solely on domain names hasn't been sufficient for 15+ years and as great as pi-hole is, that hasn't changed.

FWIW I use Firefox (Beta) on Android exclusively and can count the number of crashes I've seen in the last year on one hand. I use a half-dozen addons, including uBO, but I do keep a modest open tab count (usually fewer than 12) and rely more on bookmarks.

The only real issue I see with mobile Firefox is possibly battery and memory use but it's improved drastically in the last 5-6 years, so if you're looking at comparisons online make sure to check the dates (AI summaries love to use ancient data). Some of these resources no doubt go to support uBO, and that's a worthwhile tradeoff.

I am using only UBO.

I have done clean installs.

Are you using Faceboot with Firefox? That's what causes me the most crashes.

Incredibly well-said.

I would just add that, you do need to sweat the small stuff.

I've seen a number of people claim that a problem with "the left" is that they get upset about every single "little" thing Trump does and that they should just ignore the "small stuff" and only worry about the big problems. Demolish the White House for a ballroom? Insignificant. Put his name on everything? Small potatoes. Pardon thousands of convicted criminals, including some millionaire and billionaire donors? Doesn't matter. Accept a $500M bribe in the form of a luxury airplane? Who cares.

The problem is that grift, corruption, autocrats, and authoritarians always start small. They push the limits of norms and convention, then the edges of the law, then "small laws" that don't meet the criteria for "high crimes". A broken constitution and subverted free society is built on the bones of the "small stuff". If you wait to fight back until the big critically dangerous stuff is happening, you've waited too late and have already lost the farm.

Slippery slope may be a logical fallacy but it's modus operandi of people like Putin, Trump, and yes, Hitler.

Trying, but all I can picture is a brown man wearing a tan suit, and some people getting really upset by this for some inexplicable reason.
