Maybe, I'm using Firefox - I wonder if that's built into the browser now? I really wish there was a set of browser standards for at least a modicum of similarity (I guess chromium is one?)- things are all over the place still haha

The weird looks I get for even suggesting bringing manufacturing back home so we can have western-made goods, with low-carbon manufacturing regulations just shows that people don't understand how hard we're getting fleeced for our

When did Github get play/pause controls on GIF images? Pretty neat! I've always had a gripe with GIF's autoplaying after the page loads so the first time I see it it's halfway through the animation. VHS looks like a pret

I believe it was for energy saving purposes. The reasons were for better and more efficient power supplies, not having multiple voltage outputs with multiple current ratings, etc. I'd be happy with a separate tier of PSU that has the s

More and more our culture and arts become exclusively for the upper classes. Less and less people will be able to see their favorite bands perform live. Less and less people will be able to travel to see pieces of art/culture/hist

Do you have any reading material about this? I'm genuinely curious what burying surgical wounds in sand would do to help encourage healing... Or maybe it didn't?

ISPs should be punished for this. It should be a legally binding document that the ISP can hand the consumer saying "Yes, we can supply service at this address" - under penalty of no-cost installation if it turns out they don&#x27

It really does seem that way. The shifting of personal responsibility from the individual to the governments and corporations that exist to 'serve you' in some sort of hybridized federal/corporate merger. When the majority le

Interesting how over time society is finding the decisions these massive companies make are arbitrary, and usually follow the scent of money - and not to "connect the world together". Some things never change.

The funny thing too is that a lot of TV/Cable providers' set top boxes _already_ include built-in apps, so now you've got your TV that does Netflix, Hulu, etc. - then you _also_ have your set-top box being able to do the same

It's so frustrating. For some consumers, you're dropping multiple paychecks on a TV that you want to just _USE_ - but you can't because Samsung, LG, whoever decided to take money from various companies and shove their garbage

Interesting how they provide evidence that the apps were removed from the Apple store, but they make the very strong claims that apps are "almost 100% owned" by a governmental agency without providing any links as a source, furthe

Can one explosion at one place in the pipeline cause vibrations down the pipeline, possibly weakening another joint/seal further on? Not sure. I know nothing about underwater pipelines :P Does all the gas leaking to the surface cause b

The only entity that is able to commit acts of violence upon anybody they wish with almost full impunity is not the individual, not these massive silicon valley companies, but your very own government. "Do what we tell you to do or we&

I bet you my now defunct and cobwebbed Facebook account that they're using AI algorithms for large-scale content moderation, with individual "suspect" cases being forwarded to an Amazon Mechanical Turk style place where peopl

I tend to agree with you - getting rid of section 230 or limiting it to certain types of content providers based on some certain metric would be ideal. I've been doing some thinking and it seems to me like Section 230 being repealed wo

From what I understand, the government introduced legislation sometime in the past 20-30 years (Was it the PATRIOT act? I can't remember) - which I believe put the onus of blame on the credit card processing companies instead of the go

I would suppose that maybe it turns into scar tissue of some sort, with maybe some regeneration of healthy lung cells? Maybe stem cells could be part of the post-treatment options after this type of procedure?

Unless road conditions are completely 100% ideal (no snow, no rain, road markers are clearly visible and not covered up by dirt/dust/rubbermarks), you're never, _ever_ going to have fully autonomous self-driving. Too many var

Thanks! I wasn't aware of the intricacies of this stuff - I'll have to do some more reading in my free time.

Would it not be possible to create a filesystem with modern capabilities but with backwards compatibility with FAT? Why can't we just have "legacy" commands built into the ReFS filesystem that process any FAT filesystem acces

Growing up, my teachers/mentors taught me not to cite Wikipedia directly for any academic/journalistic works, mainly because most people didn't actually check the sources that article writers were using and there's the r

I don't know anything about renting/buying/homeownership in South Korea but to me it seems like you could still have people living in these basements if you could ensure they don't flood above head-level with sump pumps

I think some people like to build their identity by what brands of clothes/food/etc. they buy, what actions they take to "make the world better" in their eyes. I don't know - I think identity is more how you interac

Is there any way someone like you or I could search ourselves in this database? Would be interested to see exactly what data they have on me. That and so I can request they remove it - not that that's actually happening.

I wonder if it's an enforcement problem. I don't like this "enforce vehicles more than cyclists" when both types of traffic are using the road. Police know they can't get large fines out of people who ride bicycles

Someone with any semblance of power really needed to put as much C4 as possible right in the middle of the corporate structure of Amazon to blow them up into as many little, tiny, unrelated companies as possible. Their power, capital, and s

Interesting that they're automating this now with AI - our council had their staff literally scan houses one by one on Google Earth images when the latest imagery came out to see if there were any new outbuildings/pools/etc.

Nice of the Guardian to re-affirm its political biases by placing a blame jab to the "right wing media" in the subtitle of the article. Cyclists should be held to the same standard of traffic laws as vehicles are - full stop. Too
