This is your hourly reminder that Brave is still Chromium and still contributes to Google's influence over internet standards.

Firefox gang raise
If the world is going towards simplified logos, gotta at least make yours good. Firefox did that. Can't complain.

Stop doing Computer Science
This could be so much longer.
Killing children, class systems, so many programming language names, the ridiculous ways equality and order-of-operations are done sometimes. Plenty of recursion jokes to be made. Big O notation. Any other ideas?

If I understand correctly, there's nothing about Firefox that makes ad blockers any harder to detect. What can Firefox and uBlock do to stop Google from blocking adblock users on the site?
That said, I use Firefox and uBlock myself, and I've yet to see YouTube stop me from using the site.

Well...
I hope this is real. If you look into it and find it isn't real, don't tell me.

B since all movement is relative.
This was a triumph.

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?
There's a giant ball of extremely hot plasma in the sky and we aren't supposed to look at it. What is it hiding? Surely if someone managed to look at it long enough, they would see the truth!

What a time to be alive
This is a joke, right? This feels like a very dumb solution. I don't know much about UTF-8 encoding, but it sounds like Roman characters can be encoded shorter than most or all others because of a shorthand that assumes Roman characters. In that case, why not take that functionality and let a UTF-8 block specify which language makes up most of the text so that you can have that savings almost every time? I don't see why one would want it to be random.

I don't think the makers of this product understand that condoms are not actually required for sex.

Would A Wireless Shower Head Use Hydrogen?
Was this a thought you had in the shower, or a thought you had about showers?
Also, the pipe carrying water to the showerhead isn't a wire or cord, and therefore every showerhead is wireless.

Let's move this along, future boy
I keep 3 forms of payment on me for this reason. Phone, card, cash, in that order.
Edit: Within 30 minutes of making this comment, I was at a Walmart. No NFC payment. The machine didn't like my card. Now I have 2 quarters and a penny in my pocket.

Zelensky refuses to hold elections in wartime Ukraine
I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I'd suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn't a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.

The CEO was asking for iTunes gift cards. It seemed legit to me 🤷♂️
My workplace does simulated phishing emails every Friday. If you click on them, they make you do training. Last month, someone's email was breached and they started sending out tons of phishing emails, the users reported it en masse and we had dozens of reports within minutes - and these emails went out at 10PM on a weekend! Seems like our training works.

Watch SadlyItsBradley and TylerMcVicker on YouTube, these are the guys who actually datamine SteamVR and SteamOS for themselves. They're both saying Steam Deck 2 is not currently in development. Valve's current thing is more likely a console-like machine running slightly more powerful hardware, plus Valve's upcoming VR headset. A prototype of this console actually showed up in the background of "The Final Hours of Half Life: Alyx".

Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?
He absolutely would be a great pick. And I suspect he would be interested. What I wonder is: how much would it grow Lemmy and the Fediverse? Impossible to tell, but even if it's only a small gain, I think it would be worth trying.
