I was taught if you see a hazard click as soon as you see it, then click again two more times. The reason being that these things are programmed by humans and when the programmer deems the hazard to be a hazard and when you deem the hazard to be a hazard may be slightly differently timed. Bit of a shit system really but I don’t really know how they could test it differently without a similar issue of tester and testee having different reaction times.

No she isn’t, she’s launching a propaganda tool and/or a scam. Don’t give her free advertising. Ignore it and move on.

FYI it can take up to 3 years to bring enough nutrients and biodiversity to a patch of land to get really decent harvests, so if you haven’t started already now is the time to. Good luck, and may your potato harvests be bountiful!

Heard via propaganda designed to scare people into not voting for independence.

Do you honestly think a developed country of 5.5 million people is just going to crumble and collapse? A country which made damn sure the EU knew it was dragged out against its will and the EU has responded by saying they’d be welcome with open arms.

Edinburgh and Glasgow are both international cultural and financial hubs with the Fringe, many large financial institutions, and more bands and gig venues than you can shake a stick at. Dundee exists. Aberdeen has a fuckton of engineers and universities and they’re skill transitioning from oil to renewables. Aberdeenshire has both Europe’s largest cattle and fish markets, and Inverness is the gateway to Highland tourism and also an agricultural hub.

With the inevitability of climate change marching on we’re also well positioned, with just Loch Ness on its own having more water than all of England and Wales combined and our famously cold climate becoming less so each year. Obviously in the grand scheme of things for humanity climate change is awful but Scotland is probably one of the better places to be during it.

Figures released alongside the FOI show BrewDog is to receive a total of £2.7 million worth of public money as the beer giant is to replace the dead saplings recorded in the inspection.

Scottish Forestry confirmed £1.1m had already been received by the firm, with a further £1.6m agreed for a second, separate stage of planting.

Why the fuck are we funding this when they get all the PR and goodwill?

For that money the government should be making their own public initiatives, planting their own trees on their own land, not funding BrewDog’s marketing schemes.

Nazi metalheads, fuck off!

The Greens or Lib Dems

And that right there is an issue. Because now the left will be split again amongst multiple parties instead of 1 with a chance of winning anything. We’re doomed to repeat the same dumb mistakes and hand power to the Tories or Reform all over again.

The Lib Dems have shown themselves to be ineffectual and Labour are not left wing.

The Greens aren’t perfect but if there’s to be any chance at a left wing government any time soon we (as in, anyone on the left) need to wake up and realise that the only way that is possible, is by all supporting one party instead of multiple. One party that supports proportional representation and can effect genuine positive change to our voting system, so that in future we don’t have to hold our noses, play games, and vote for a party that isn’t necessarily our perfect choice.

Why are border police looking through phone messages?

Why/how are they even able to do that?

Arrested for protesting, keeping their head down, or trying to live their life outside of mainstream capitalist society is my guess.

The left have been the targets of successive governments and vested interests, in most countries, for over 100 years. No wonder it’s dead. Not to mention the infighting. Some of which I’m sure is natural but some of which will be instigated by those same governments and vested interests.

Ah, I see, you’re a contrarian who just wants an argument. That’s not really my bag so this will be my last message.

Yes, the likelihood of the average person downloading Librewolf is slim. Using or not using Librewolf doesn’t make someone lazy. Not reading and toggling every setting in Firefox doesn’t make someone lazy either.

You’ve just explained that to make Firefox secure you need to watch some video of someone that you hope knows what they’re talking about. What if they miss something? What if they’re talking shit? I know, shocking, people lying on the internet, but it happens.

Firefox is a big name browser used by many people of varying backgrounds and technical ability. It should be secure by default. It is not. Librewolf I recommended to anyone reading this thread, which is probably someone tech savvy enough to try a different browser. But not all people are that tech savvy.

The root issue is Firefox not being secure by default. If there was no profit motive for Mozilla it likely would be.

The problem is not laziness, that’s what a nerd whose hobby is computers would do. The average person is not searching for videos to learn how to toggle the settings of their web browser, ffs. Firefox should be secure by default.

That asterisk is a problem though, having to go through and make it secure is an issue. What if you miss a setting? What if you misunderstand a setting? None of it is particularly upfront and easy. It doesn’t ask you when you first install it to set this stuff up, it encourages you to just get stuck in and start using it straight away.

It’s not too complicated for a nerd whose hobby is computers or someone who has studied computers, but for the layperson it’s too much.

That’s why Librewolf is so good. It’s secure by default, with all the settings toggled to privacy and you can ease that off if you wish, for convenience or whatever.

Firefox essentially can’t seem to decide if they want to be FOSS or capitalist, that’s an issue.

I started quoting relevant parts but there’s so many different ways they get rid of waste that it got silly.

In a nutshell (lol): sap, leaves, petals, fruit, dead wood inside the tree, and root excretions are all kind of tree poop in their own ways.

Aye, the males.

The females have shorter right legs. It’s hypothesised that this evolved because it prevents them from going round and round the mountains in the same direction, but at opposite sides, never finding a mate

Oh sweet, that looks interesting. Thanks!

Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have Scottish Gaelic. Unlikely with such a niche language, but, does anyone know of a Google Translate alternatives with Gaelic?

The point is to make everyone have the same size window therefore nobody stands out. We’re all Spartacus as it were. Of course you can just click maximise if you want.

When maximised the size and resolution of your screen can be determined and used as a piece of data among many to uniquely identify you and attempt to figure out your identity. Depending on what you’re doing and which sites you’re using this may or may not be a concern.

For example, when I use my university’s website, they already know who I am. I log in with an email address uniquely tied to me. So maximising the window then, to me, doesn’t really matter. But if I’m browsing news articles from websites hell bent on bombarding me with adverts, cookies, and trackers then I’ll stick with the default Librewolf sizing in an attempt to blend in.

From a usability perspective it’s not as good as Firefox. But from a privacy stand point it’s much better.

What I mean about usability is that due to it trying to prevent you from being fingerprinted it opens the browser in the same size window everytime, regardless of whether you prefer maximised or not. It has dark mode turned off. It doesn’t remember cookies unless you explicitly manually add an exception. From a privacy perspective these are all good things but for convenience they’re not.

All of these mild inconveniences can however be turned off if you wish. Just be aware you won’t be browsing as securely then though.

As a Firefox replacement in all other regards, it’s pretty much the same software. No, it is the same software.

If you use Linux and a password manager you may have an issue getting flatpaks to speak to each other and you also may have to move a folder from .mozilla to .librewolf to get them to speak to each other. These are easily searchable issues if you have them with simple fixes though.

In all other regards, to me at least, it feels just like Firefox
