It’s a survey for what the Mozilla Foundation should be focussing on. Firefox development happens at the Mozilla Corporation (which is a subsidiary of the Foundation, but operates pretty independently).

Probably around 14 or something. For whatever reason, people will often name DD as a large bra size around here. It also doesn’t exist in our bra size system. Some girl pointed out that non-sense at school.

Hmm, I don’t know anything about Whoogle, but from other privacy-conscious search engines, I would expect it to work when you use that URL in your bookmark.

Three things I can imagine:

• Something in your hosting stack strips the URL parameters, like maybe your reverse proxy, if you use one. You might be able to see in the Whoogle or web server logs, which URLs actually reach it. Might need to set it to debug/trace logging.
• Maybe there’s a flag in the Whoogle configuration you need to enable to accept these preference URLs.
• It’s a bug in that Whoogle version.

You don’t want to use exceptions in normal control flow, because they’re extremely slow. Every time you throw an exception, it has to collect a stacktrace, which is hundreds, if not thousands, of calculations, compared to a handful of calculations for returning a boolean or an enum variant.

Interesting. I almost guessed that variant, too, but figured it would be a bit too wild for a country to auto-adopt most laws that another country implements. 🙃

I stopped using Reddit a few years before the whole stupidity, because the culture was fucking with my head.

Then I did the Mastodons for two years or so, with Lemmy eventually entering the mix. And then as Lemmy got more users and content, it took over as my preferred platform.

I’m more surprised that it even got offered there. There’s some legal hurdles to clear for selling in a new country, and I guess, one of their distribution platforms decided it was worth it.

I guess, the Vatican might not have a ton of laws, though…

Codeberg also does have Pages.

Still uses Git, but yeah.

When I was around 3 years old, me and my not much older brother decided to walk across town, where our mum was visiting relatives.

I was missing mummy, which was technically not an emergency, for which we were supposed to phone those relatives.
We had been raised very well, you see. 🙃

Yeah, the formulation is a bit off here. With opt-out, you have no way to measure consent, because you can’t discern between people who actually consent and those who just haven’t opted out, for lack of knowledge or other reasons.

These societies have simply weighed up the two options and decided that saving lives is more important than leaving personal freedom intact at all costs.

Codeberg recently held a translation event where projects could sign up, if they wanted help. You can still look at their resources here, or I guess, you can just pick out a project and start translating over here: https://translate.codeberg.org/

Depending on your file manager, you may be able to hold Shift while triggering the delete to get a hard delete.

Shift+Del is pretty much standardized as the keyboard shortcut. And here on KDE, I can hold Shift while clicking the “Move to Trash” menu entry, too (well, it actually replaces the menu entry with one for permanent deletion, but that’s effectively the same).

It’s unfortunate that only bad webpages would pay for such a sponsorship, but you’ve obviously got the same problem with search engines, so yeah, I’d rather have them reduce dependence on that single bad actor.

I, unfortunately, have to use GitHub at $DAYJOB and this is me. I navigate most of the webpage via the URL bar now.

Basically, let’s say I’m working on a repo github.com/tomato/sauce/ and want to navigate to the Releases page.

Via the webpage:

1. Type github.com into the URL bar.
2. Don’t find tomato/sauce/ in the list of recent repos, even though it’s the only repo I work on.
3. Click on some other repo that’s at least in the tomato/ org.
4. Navigate up to the tomato/ org.
5. Find the sauce/ repo in the list.
6. Traverse half the fucking screen to hit the “Releases” heading in the middle of the About-section.

Via the Firefox URL bar:

1. Type gi→t→s→r→.
2. Hit Enter.

I admit, it’s hard to compete with the latter, but I wouldn’t know how to navigate that way, if the former wasn’t so terrible.

I mean, when you hold down the Alt key, it’s convention that GUI toolkits underline a letter in the text of UI elements, and when you then press Alt + that letter, it’ll activate that UI element.
That way, you can navigate most apps in a keyboard-driven fashion, although it is certainly not the most comfortable to use…

It’s this one: https://codeberg.org/trem/jot/

Not a fan of it using Electron and a proprietary license.

But I also actually like this workflow. Being able to note things in my regular text editor with the keybindings I know, is quite important to me.
Well, and an even more personal preference, but my way of using a desktop OS involves a lot of workspaces, so the global shortcut to summon a new editor window on the current workspace actually gets a lot of use.

You can probably just do sleep 5 && grim as the program to run.

It depends on your desktop environment or window manager, how you’d bind a command to a keybind.

I’ve got various text files in Markdown format.

I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I’ve bound to a global shortcut, so it’s just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.

I hear, it actually significantly increases the chance of the miracle occurring when you pass the array into multiple threads. It’s a very mysterious algorithm.
