Backblaze reports are cool

Microsoft having IE/Edge as the default browser has already cost them in the past. I don’t think Apple faced anything with Safari.

The problem today with chrome is how prevalent it is and how that influences the main product of the internet (advertising), which happens to be Google’s mais product too. Apple can at least make the argument that they make their money with the hardware, not the browser.

Either way, I think all OS should at least give you a list of browsers on first use to choose from.

Access to my main email account (outlook) is currently blocked because someone decided to try a password from some earlier leak and locked it. It can only be unlocked with SMS MFA, which I can’t use because I’m travelling abroad. There is no other way to do it. The other option they give you a form that only works if you don’t have MFA set up (it says so on the faq). I even asked someone to fill the form from my home computer so the location data matches earlier accesses, but didn’t work. You also can’t contact support without logging in. If I had lost/changed that phone number for any reason, I would lose access forever. Luckily I will be back home soon.

stop sharing your library with strangers and kick your brother’s ass when he gets you banned

when you play a game that multiple people have, you can choose which copy is being used. The owner of that copy and the one playing get banned

elon musk was asked to point a legal rep and show up to answer questions about spreading fake news and promoting criminal activity. He denied point out the rep or participating in the investigation at all. There is some backlash as the judge gave the final warning on twitter since there was no legal rep, which would be a first.

so in a possible hostage situation as far as IDF claims (the hijacking), you bomb the bad guy with hostages? got it

you don’t see the ad and think “wow, that athlete is holding this one brand of cheese, I’m gonna buy it”

you mentally associate those two, and when you go to the supermarket, you see the brand and buy it out of instinct, since that brand gives you a good feeling subconsciously.

or if you ask yourself “I never bought parmesam cheese before, which brand is good? oh I’ve seen this one before, it must be good”

I’m not finding it now but there are some shorts where the guy gives a tong to teenagers and they don’t double clack.

also no double press on a drill.

this generation is lost man

fifa is weird, it is a private company kinda but not really. And they have all rights to the word football (?)

the advantage of having a supranational organization is that everybody is looking at it and its reputation relies on how good it is. the disadvantage is that they have no power other than advisory

when you have to click once, means they have been gathering all your actions up to that point, and for sure you are human. If you get asked to click images, means they don’t have enough information yet, or you failed some security step (wrong password) and the site told captcha to be extra sure

so they are destroying both the future and the families, got it

south africa and ireland are taking them to international court, but at the end of the day, it is the countries that actually have people/resources/power to enforce the court’s orders. And nobody is willing to invade Israel to bring them to justice (and bring their leadership to the courthouse). Almost all countries in the UN signed treaties promising they would enforce arrest orders, but when push comes to shove, nobody wants to be the one to do it. Israeli offivials can go visit their allies freely

when the rich countries start paying to fix the problem, the the poor countries will stop trying to improve their situation and help.

The north always says “do your part, we are all in this together” when asking to keep the status quo, but they have never accepted any treaty that makes them suffer the consequences of their actions (or are you gonna tell me that the south fucked up the world?)

this is proposed every chance possible and is never accepted.

The global south can be 100% commited to ending climate change and nothing would happen. If the north doesn’t take their oily, coaly money and do the heaby lifting, nothing will change. The task of saving the world is impossible.

so as long as the north is short soghted and petty, the only reasonable action for the south is the same. sacrificing their short term well being just buys a little more time for the north to polute us to death

it is ridiculous how much content that game offers for the low price tag. one of my most played right now. the only td I have found that well maintained and very replayable

at least in the government app you know they will not use dark patterns to make you feel miserable unless you pay. anybody that has paid for these apps know it is night and day, you get 2 matches in a week if you dont pay, or 100 in a hour if you pay

my quick reply would be Bernie Sanders

I mean, I read the response you replied to as “it not just biden, it is the system as a whole, and anyone that ever got close to being president”.

And I agree. every president you have, there is some unjust war you are involved. As americans get pissed with their president, the rest of the world just rolls their eyes and says “here they go again”.

genocides are gonna keep happening as long as you keep voting for these dumbasses in your primaries. And I can’t see the situation changing anytime soon.

I always laugh at people that never saw a pacu
