@faoluin firefox is less secure than chromium. firefox has embedded spyware. chrome has embedded spyware.

the bottom of the new 16" macbook pro feels cheap, i thought it might have been plastic even, but it is just really thin and has space behind it so it feels plasticky. i miss the rigid unibody slab already.

@mastodon yes

what a strange, inverted world.

it used to be we bought expensive, underpowered hardware to be able to use this revolutionary thing called the macOS.

now, we get affordable, insanely world-leading hardware... and the worst part is the bullshit toy spyware known as the macOS. i donate money every month to a project that will get some crapware free software OS running on it simply because even that garbage will be better than what comes on it.

if you press the f8 key on a new m1 pro mac, it will phone home to apple and transmit your unchangeable hardware serial number. fwiw it says on the screen that it is doing this after you press f8.

it feels really weird for a new iphone to be out and not have one. i have had every single one up until now.

@lain i mean they are also used by the US military who uses them to shoot at people on the other side of the planet who didn't even come at them. might be a stronger argument re: looking for a fight/premeditation lol

@lain what's a soyboy

rittenhouse is a moron who should have stayed home, but based on the videos i saw, in those moments he did nothing wrong. only fools grab a gun and go looking for a fight, however.

my residential ISP blocks inbound port 80 now, but they didn't when i first signed up. certbot has a directory with 400,000 files in it now because it's been trying and failing to renew for six months.

@jb55 there is no such thing as self sovereignty, and paypal doesn't offer accounts to everyone.

@jb55 also no, that is not "the whole point of blockchains". most people (99.99%+) just want to send and receive payments, and are not interested in any way whatsoever in participating in the operation of financial infrastructure.
