@thomasfuchs “oh no, not Amazon!”

@thomasfuchs well, it's "Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.", so sorry.

@thomasfuchs Tacky. Especially considering the source (but I respect your decision not to name this site 😊).

@thomasfuchs wow how does the site know it's "Enhanced Tracking Protection"?

@thomasfuchs Mastodon it's like twitter but slower and worse!

@thomasfuchs I mean, NFTs are like broken links, but even worse than broken links.

@thomasfuchs Somewhere XML and SOAP need to be on this list.

@thomasfuchs

I feel what you mean. 👍

@thomasfuchs @MGraversen I agree and also have a fully analogue system, but you do miss out on conveniences as digital in, HDMI in and music streaming. All those require additional boxes. You win some you lose some. 😄👌🏻

@thomasfuchs @MGraversen Lovely system btw. 👍🏻

@thomasfuchs I have a kid in daycare... I've been blowing my nose for months

@thomasfuchs and this right on the heels of “I don’t feel that sick and I can’t skip Christmas”. No relation.

Handbag to go with it

@thomasfuchs Lmao I would so wear that.

@thomasfuchs You can infer acceptance through lack of response? I've got to add that clause to my job applications.

@thomasfuchs is there a version of the letter template that isn't behind a paywall?

@thomasfuchs My brother signed us up for that thing years ago over my protest. The email I received had a mailto link for legal@23andme.com instead of the arbitrationoptout@23andme.com in your post and the Patreon page, which notes

> A reader points out that while the email directs recipients to "notify us" at "legal@23andme.com" the text of new the TOS says you must email "arbitrationoptout@23andme.com"

I'm sending to both on the same message just in case.

@thomasfuchs I love JavaScript, I write it for a living. But good lord these important systems should be several orders of magnitude simpler. Absolutely no reason for it to be running chromium with a web app...

@thomasfuchs
They should try with RHEL for some reason 🙈

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io you ✨ don't ✨ understand ✨ open ✨ source 🚀 went 👾 to 🌠 space 🤩
/i'm sorry/

@thomasfuchs
No. 4 is THE most important of the bunch. Until they can guarantee that, their social contract is broken.

Also, to almost every commercial entity on the internet; the internet was not made for you.

@thomasfuchs I fail to understand why people who put ads on websites that pop up and cover the content I am trying to read with either a static ad or worse, a video, do not themselves understand that when this happens the only thing I want is to make that fucking ad go away and I will never ever in my life buy anything that is advertised thusly.

@thomasfuchs use brave browser 😂

@thomasfuchs @asymco @dangoodin

If we start with the idea that a significant number of Google search users are on outdated, unpatched, and unprotected versions of Microsoft Windows, and we introduced the idea that a self-professed "torrent site" might in fact be a vector for malware ..

What would you actually want Google to do?

Help you bookmark that?

@thomasfuchs Good to know Safari is okay to use as well. Unfortunately, my employer requires us to use Chrome.

@thomasfuchs @lisamelton to me it looks like it is google collections, not google chrome bookmarks.

https://www.androidpolice.com/create-google-collections/

@thomasfuchs Yes, but I prefer Libravatar (https://www.libravatar.org).

@thomasfuchs that's still a thing? I think I created one like ten years ago but had no use for it, so I voted no here on a technicality

@thomasfuchs Yes, for Lobsters, because spinning up a job system and independent vm to process images securely is such a large task.

@thomasfuchs 😭

@thomasfuchs
Is this ... Serial Murder?

@thomasfuchs
Back in the days when computers had serial, parallel and midi ports that doubled as joystick ports ?

@thomasfuchs I mean, I'd see it implemented happily.

Let's shit websites filter out themselves, because I am pretty sure Firefox will be blocked pretty quickly to enforce chrome (or one of it's derivatives) as the only standard.

Maybe we don't even need ad-blockers anymore, because the shit websites filter out themselves XD

@thomasfuchs Fun thing though

"How will we prevent this signal from being used to exclude vendors?" talks about excluding certain browsers, because it's very clear which browser is used.

Would be funny to use their own tech to block chrome browsers though, with a warning "You are supporting anti-privacy browsers! Please use a better browser."

@thomasfuchs While I understand where you're coming from, putting the blame on the end-users (99% of whom have no idea about these things) really rubs me the wrong way.

@thomasfuchs On a Commodore 64-II????

They don’t make them like this anymore.

@thomasfuchs is this with a bayer filter or something?

@thomasfuchs And, boy-oh-boy, would loading that onto your computer be TEDIOUS!

@thomasfuchs old enough that I once received a customer database backup on 200+ 5.25" to 'fix'

Never used the large floppies but remembering how infuriatingly slow the 1.44-MB ones were, it would take months to install, even if you don't count the time you'll spend swapping disks.

@thomasfuchs That design makes a lot of sense for a 3D UI. For for a 2D one…?

Apple already had a “spatial” operating system, it was called Mac OS X.

Clear visual hierarchies, buttons looks like buttons, text fields like text fields, icons are dimensional…
