Honestly anyone who has ever been bullied would immediately recognize what's going on in that meeting between Trump and Zelensky, and it's not an "argument"

mozilla firefox
I've been using @mozillaofficial Firefox since 8 years old, and this makes me very sad.
It feels symbolic of an era where every piece of software is a live service and not something that you can just run on your computer to help you do your job. As in, these times seem to be somewhat gone.

browser development meta
@joepie91 hmm.. yes kind of.
The thing is, if we had a wel chosen subset of browser features which would allow for 99% of all use cases and that got branded and the spec frozen, then people could design for it and an ecosystem that supported it could grow and normal browsers would be able to show the results too, because its a subset of the web.
without that, everyone makes their own subset and half of links/pages you open are broken because they use unsupported stuff

As the saying goes, it’s not the journalist’s job to blindly parrot the politician who says it’s raining, it’s their job to look out the window and tell the public the actual weather.

Interesting how “journalists shouldn’t be activists” is weaponised by those who desire wishy-washy bothsidesing licking of autocratic boots.
A journalist ought to tell the truth. Doesn’t get much more activist than that.

TIL: there is an escape sequence that makes a line wide (\e#6), which Konsole apparently understands
food (vegan) (3)
Also I'm pretty happy to see various supermarkets in NL finally starting to stock somewhat more creative/unusual vegan substitutes that aren't just Burger, Copy of Burger, Copy of Burger(1)
food (vegan)
Doesn't have quite the same texture, though the flavour is pretty good. Also seems to not be a promo, but rather a permanent addition.

I cannot unread TP-Link as Toilet Paper Link
food (vegan)
Okay, so Lidl recently added vegan 'beef strips' to their collection and what the actual fuck, these look *identical* to actual beef strips, I had to double-check that we didn't accidentally buy meat

mozilla announces that firefox will not operate without a blood sample submitted weekly. but don't worry, the submission process is completely FOSS and was created to combat the proliferation of proprietary blood collection services

@joepie91 Thanks for the heads up on this project! Setting up a monthly donation now.
On a side note, I wish more project would do this! It takes the guess work out of how to make the most effective donation! https://servo.org/sponsorship/#donation-fees

🦊checking out our steam wishlists and this "Lesbian Toggle" post has caused them to go *way* higher than being in Steam Next Fest has
the logical conclusion is that every game should have some kind of toggle like this, and also lesbians
