Some dingbat that occasionally builds neat stuff without breaking others. The person running this public-but-not-promoted instance because reasons.
I haven’t particularly looked for one recently, but you could accommodate a lot of that with a simple mouse that uses standard AA batteries. Nice to be able to swap without it having to be some special type, but he one I had was some cheap thing that broke quick.
Some of those are absurdly strong. I have wild grapes in my yard that got ahold of an old clothesline with 6 lines across it. Now I didn’t use said line so figured just let it be to feed the birds and such. Turns out it got thick enough that one winter when a particularly heavy snow came through the weight of the snow on the vine mat was enough to bend in the poles that are a good 3 inches thick.
For those willing to do a bit of CLI work there are even tools to pull your whole library automagically. Just make sure you got the space for it. Sitting at just over 1.5 TB here.
I wonder just how far down the road they think they’ll get. The ‘little free libraries’ and ebooks, legal or less than, would be near impossible for them to push this show onto.
Information will be free, like it or not the stories will be told and you can’t do a damn thing about it.
There are some use cases other than web page compatibility. One for me is in dealing with firewall and proxy policy, if the agent is a browser and comes in on specified explicit ports then force authentication, things of that nature.
Per household or purchasing body (as in a store or restaurant) I have my doubts. Never in my life have I dumped 3 dozen perfectly edible sandwiches in the trash on any given day.
There are a lot more households than there are stores or restaurants so in aggregate total homes may make for a greater sum, but that’s the same kind of logic they use to say people need to all switch to paper straws and forgo the AC in summer while the rich fly about in personal jets and rockets for a joyride.
It looks like a whole mastodon instance full of such people. Front page trending tag is ‘fakenews’.
FFS, 7 month old account with 0 comments or posts as it shows to me and a meme about how the parasite class need to be taxed/removed sends you off in a tizzy. You have to build some history before jumping in whole hog to be a believable troll you know?
Remote controlled rather than radio controlled. If one wanted to get particular a lot of cheap RC where/are done by IR control, which makes them pretty well useless outdoors, same with TV remotes, but it’s still remote controlled.
What the centrist so reviled here dislikes is being told we’re no better than fascists for taking a small or piecemeal win rather than stomping our feet and going home if we don’t get a full Marxist revolution today.
Dammit, I was stuck thinking of the stuff in a petri dish.

If they’re already giving exclusive access to Google for search and AI training, my bet is it’s all in a bid for ‘please buy us daddy Google’, and let them handle it from there.
Sounds like no GOG then? If they’re doing DRM free that would seem a natural fit.
A reasonable research priority, if society and business refuse to act on climate matters, at the very least academia’s coffee rituals must not be disrupted.
I might suggest directing searches towards a low acidity variant as conducive to preparing cold brew as another adaption to new norms.

I mean, what if you just used it for a handy bit of seasoning when you go out?
That’s my go to for my quick scratch pad notes, generally something I only need for a one time deal.
I use the Bit Warden secure note feature for more permanent things.
If it is a more ongoing documentation deal that needs organization I like Bookstack.
All depends on the purpose one uses it for.
After all, they wouldn’t want anyone to call them out on continuing chicanery during such a trivial event as their home country’s presidential election cycle…
The things they promise to do like segmentation and 2FA should very well have been in place for the most part already. Sounds like a lot of ‘just try harder’ to me
