This reminds me of my old phone. I downloaded a podcast on it that had a shock-opener and for some reason was always "the next thing" the sound/music player wanted to play. So many times, by accidental touch inputs or clicking the headphone button, or the like, my phone would randomly scream: "WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO PEE IN THE SINK!?!?!”

Double-twist-back: it's not under a special TLD, so you can transfer it to another registrar.

It might tell you to go a way that is unsafe, blocked, impassable, flooded, etc.

Both practically and theoretically, it might be impossible. It basically comes down to trusting trust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ7lOus1FzQ

To assume that a GPT is right is to assume everything on the internet is right, as from that it arose.

Should one say "too many refried beans", or "too much refried beans"? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

"Too many" kinda sounds right to my ear because beans is plural, but the second logically seems right because its served by volume and is not 'countable' as ordinary (non-destroyed) beans might be.

Do people actually get upset if you forget their name? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!

If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?

How to combat creeping firefox enshitification? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I deal with a lot of VMs for varying purposes, and it seems frequent that my purpose for opening firefox is derailed by some kind of nag. For example, I frequently get the "you haven't used firefox in a while" in vms that I rarely use firefox and have to go disable the "meta refresh" option in the "about:config".

Now, I've started seeing this one... it's not even one of the passive banners but a full-page stop-the-world w/ semi-transparent background and right-click prevention.

Before I invest too much time trying to figure out how to disable these, or templating profile options en-masse, or the like... I thought I might ask... is there a way I can tell firefox that I only want it to only be a web-browser? i.e. an effective tool and not an attention sink or exciting video-game-like challenge of exploration and closing popups and suggestions while trying to remember why I launched it.

Somewhat relatedly, there is some kind of irony with firefox prominently offering to copy a URL without tracking for other sites, but when it is their own ad (however benign it might seem) that they disable right-clicks and load up on the trackers. The above button links to:
