"Few people are as paranoid as you."

Yeah, cuz we'll never have a fascist government that ignores the rule of law and disappears people, has masked goons yank them off the street, uses the power of the state to silence people and make corporations and countries bend to it's will.

Can't happen here.

I'm pretty sure I've turned off prefetch at least once, but with all the machine replacements, half dozen RPis around the house, wife and kids machines, VMs, it's maddeningly difficult to be sure I've got all the settings in about:config where they need to be on each machine I sit down at.

Maybe I need to set up my own management infrastructure.

This.

In prefetching links, it visits links on the loaded page.

If it's going to offer performant summaries, it probably has to visit before you ask for the summary.

If it doesn't work this way today, one can bet it will.

"doesn't do anything" is relative:

To offer a preview, either the browser or a connected server must visit and summarize the link (I'm not pretending to know how it works, but SOMETHING must visit the link).

In visiting the link, it may well give the server on the other end details about you and your browser, for ad insertion or much worse - and may do so on pages you've chosen not to visit due to concerns about what may lie there.

If like me you've disabled the standard Firefox home features, preferring instead an about:blank page which doesn't spew your user-agent to dozens of links when you do nothing more than bring up the browser, you'll want this turned right off.

"Women are raised to lie."

Um... Have you met any men?

At all?

When does ANYTHING Google does have to do with privacy or integrity?

1. Don't pay for copyrighted material
2. Don't pay to build out the power infrastructure you require
3. Pay less than consumers for commodity power
4. Profit!

I think "eat the rich" ought to come back in fashion.

I'm politically on the side of sensible gun regulations, and anything that can slow down or stop a mass shooter.

That said, a stunt like this doesn't help a cause that wingnut ranters have been saying features bullshit "crisis actors".

Anything that diminishes people's ability to see real things, believe what they see, should be thrown over the side.

Deep fakes for a good cause are no more noble than deep fake pron.

Now maybe they'll sign on to Asimov's Three laws of robotics. And maybe put "Don't Be Evil" back.

Don't any parents tell their kids "don't believe anything a company says, including "and" and "the" these days?

Mod parent up!

KeePass rocks. Zero-knowledge. Supports my YubiKey, too. And apparently passkeys (though macOS gets in the way here).

And if you keep a master KeePass file on your own infrastructure (safe from accidental sync overwrites when you "oops! I didn't mean to do that!", you'll be just fine when this week's janky "cloud" provider pulls the rug.

Wow. They had infrared cameras looking at me, checked chest expansion, heartbeat, BP, I think, looked for restless leg, buncha stuff.

Hated the bed, and having them come wake me periodically sucked too, but they got me set up.

I've had 2 labs. The second when a new practice started treating me after a long time unaffiliated with any sleep doc.

Pretty on-the-nose.

Mod parent up.

If the apnea sufferer has zero knowledge about CPAP treatment, and no CPAP-treated buddies to assist, she's likely to have her insurance shove the cheapest option leased machine and mask her way without any information on how to make it a great solution.

I was fortunate in having a great sleep lab tech (does anyone even do sleep labs anymore?) who helped me experiment with masks and let me know more about the treatment before morning.

Decades down the line, my CPAP machines (a really nice, nearly silent home machine and a tiny travel machine) are my most important and beloved sleep pals.

I should add: it takes a decently functional 3D printer.

My first printer was pretty much a hobby project to build the printer. It had a small build volume, no heated bed, and didn't go a great job.

My second printer was much better, larger, more useful, but still required a lot of care and maintenance and some special accessories to work well.

My third printer is a marvel. A little bigger print volume, more capable, but "it just works". It's almost difficult to turn out a bad print with it. It's gotten much easier to focus on the outcome and less on the printing process.

I use mine for both functional and dress-up parts for rocketry, repair parts for all kinds of things, utility items I don't have around (box for micro drill bits, under-desk mount that turns USB extensions into desk-mount USB outlets, fan mount to de-smoke a stinky guitar I bought used), my own tool designs, replacement knobs for things that haven't been made in decades, fidget spinners for the kids, any kind of maker part I need, electronics enclosures, stuff i don't want to go to the hardware store for, tons of stuff.

One of the keys is to learn CAD. If you're unwilling to do so, you're stuck with what you can find on Yeggi.

Myself, I've never understood the mania for printing figurines with FDM (resin printers at least do a creditable job with them), but my wife loves those (and has her own filament loader for the printer, with her preferred materials).

I had a friend who heard I had a 3D printer say "so, I guess you just print a bunch of Benchys?", and I was baffled. I don't know whether that represents a failure of imagination, or we're just different types of makers and tinkerers.

Once I got competent at printing, it became a go-to tool for consideration in any unsolved problem.
