That’s … impressive, FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 😆

When you’re sitting, you can empty your bladder more

I always hear people say this but I have the opposite. I can sit, pee and finish, then stand up, turn around and magically pee a few cl more :-/

w… w-what have you done to your dick?

For me it’s not just a few drops, I can genuinely pee a few cl extra when I stand up, so I never feel quite empty when I sit down to pee.

What is Discord? /s

That doesn’t mean you should complicit in that, dipshit.

It’s not about entitlement, it’s about decency. Knowing their usernames or identity contributes nothing here and nobody wants to be harassed when a screenshot of a conversation they casually participated in more than 5 years ago goes viral again for the umpteenth time. So the decent thing to do is to censor the usernames.

Sounds honestly like it’d be a bit of a spooky spot secluded in the middle of the night

Reminds me of a particular scene from the Zodiac movie, which is more or less set in that time period, so yeah spooky indeed.

at least in my area, no, people don’t seem to do that

I guess you’re not on Antarctica then :p

Those “personal pet projects” are why Google and FireFox exist as many pieces of their projects often rely on open source components often maintained by a single person.

Those are a different kind of pet projects, like some small random math library developed by a guy in Nebraska that a big software stack depends on (there’s a relevant xkcd about it somewhere). The thing is, if support for such a project stops, the Microsofts, Googles and Firefoxes of the world are able to take over support, pay for it to be supported, or work around it in another way. Plus they are usually careful about which dependency they introduce, if something isn’t governed properly or does not have wide community support… it’s unlikely to be included.

Taking on a whole browser as a pet project is something entirely different. Browsers are huge and complex. You’re basically betting that mr-cheffy will be able to keep up with all the changes, like security updates, feature updates and bugfixes, that upstream Firefox produces, and that he will be able to keep his own part of the codebase secure, and that he won’t get burned out or bored with the project in one or two years.

For these reasons, I will never put all my eggs into the basket of some 1-man browser project, sorry.

These pet projects also strip telemetry and respect your privacy.

Turning off telemetry is just a few clicks, or about:config flags in Firefox anyway. And “respect your privacy” is just meaningless buzzword bingo. If you go to facebook or google in zenbrowser, your data is harvested just like everyone else’s. Privacy is a process not a product (browser).

Dude, Chrome has 73% of market share worldwide

Internet Explorer had that too at one time.

Excellent point. The way a project is governed should always be a consideration when evaluating software, especially for large and complex projects like a web browser that can’t easily be forked.

In the case of chromium, basically all the main developers are Google employees … so it’s no surprise there hasn’t been a viable fork.

I really wish we had something like the “linux kernel” of web browsers…

I’d recommend you just switch to Firefox instead, and make that work for you.

Zen browser (like many of those custom browser forks) is just someone’s pet project, and is highly dependent on what Firefox is doing anyway. It’s cool to use sometimes, but I wouldn’t want to depend on it to stick around or be properly maintained in the long term.

next (and there will be a ‘next’) will be killing ad or content blockers and manipulators completely

They already tried that!

Fortunately, they jumped the gun on it, and it was shut down … for now anyway, but yeah they’ve clearly shown their intentions.

Everybody gangsta until “A stop job is running for …”

yes tyre shops are often extremely busy with very long lines

You can’t get appointments at your tyre shops? I just book a slot in their agenda a few weeks before. Show up, put the car on the bridge, wait 15-20 minutes and I’m off.

with literally no other input needed

Wait, you just let them put on whatever they can get the highest margin on?!

There’s a vast difference between different tire types in terms of stopping distance, wet handling, wear, road noise, comfort, … When I walk into a tire place, you can bet I come prepared with a short list of tires that I’m willing to consider, and a pre-estimation of the price of those tires in my tire size.

Also, the tire size is literally just 3 numbers, and it’s literally there on the tire. Why wouldn’t you know that about your car?

Was thinking more paid remote services are almost always something that’d be better done locally.

But offsite storage is something that per definition can’t be done locally …

I’m not really interested in remote services out side of that - they kinda sounds like a scam

I don’t think they’re a scam. They’re just more honest: you use x amount of storage, you pay for x amount of storage and you can do with it as you like.

It’s not presented as “free” where you actually pay with your data, a dependency on the service and hidden content restrictions.

That clarification of yours is massively important

I think my mistake was assuming I was on a security related community, where this would be understood, instead of PC masterrace.

Your initial comment sounds as if there is a PoC from Canada on how to circumvent the PIN for the Bitlocker keys.

It’s a meme joke, referencing this: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/she-goes-to-another-school

the only way they could put microSLOP at fault for that would be if they could find that microSLOP was backing up encryption keys in the recovery environment / boot files somewhere

Seems unlikely. The WRE is like 32MiB in size, and most of that consists of static binaries. Not much info is saved there, except for some log files. If the bitlocker keys were there, they would have already been found by someone else.
