Just in case you hadn’t seen this follow-up:

And some info even suggests that this B.A.C. company was a shell company owned by Israel:

By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation. They said at least two other shell companies were created as well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers: Israeli intelligence officers.

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers.

Not quite as simple as checkboxes, but the ability is there to some degree!

Thank you for mentioning FairEmail, and thank you @wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world, for elaborating on what makes it great.

Thanks to your recommendations I installed it last night and paid the $6 one-time license fee to unlock the advanced features. Being able to set custom notification sounds per sender is a feature I’ve been wanting on my phone for years. I finally have it now and it’s already changing my life for the better.

This is some top tier mental gymnastics. Holy shit, I hope you’re a troll. You’re literally on the internet discussing your plans to commit fraud. Mensa-level shit, here.

People are going to buy CP one way or another… that means you should make it and sell it to them, right?

Grow the fuck up, and maybe train a LLM on ethics, you’re going to need some education on the subject if you hope to stay out of prison.

You caught me. I still daily drive Chrome. I am an on-again off-again Firefox user and have been for nearly 2 decades.

That said, I appreciate that input. I’ve been working on switching over to using Firefox as my daily driver, but it’s going to take some time for me to fully transition, unless you know of an extension or script that can migrate all my chrome tabs over to Firefox. I’m curious to see if it can handle my full browsing habits, now that they’ve evolved into what most would consider “tab hoarder” behavior.

Reposting a comment I wrote in another thread that explains it:

Bookmarks are for things I’ll need to reference again and again in the coming years. I do keep a tightly-curated bookmark collection, I just don’t want it clogged up with a bunch of stuff I can’t foresee needing in the long term.

Tabs are for things I’m working on right now and don’t need bookmarking for the long term. And, for what it’s worth, most of the browser windows are custom-titled, so the windows themselves are a lot like bookmark folders, while the tabs are like temporary bookmarks.

Plus, the ability to search through tabs by hitting Ctrl+Shift+A means that it ends up being faster to search through my tabs than my bookmarks, without using the mouse. ex: Ctrl+Shift+A, Type needed page, up/down arrows if needed, then hit enter to move to the tab. With Ctrl+Shift+O, you don’t get the same ease of scrolling the results without tabbing through a bunch of junk first.

There are other reasons, including neurological ones surely, but those are my primary justifications.

32gb. The browser is using about 11.2gb of ram at the moment, but I haven’t restarted the browser or the computer in about a week. After a browser restart it’s usually only using 5~6gb, though that steadily climbs as I reactivate hibernated tabs.

How is that embarrassing? I have literally 639 tabs right now, across 39 windows. Just live your life as you see fit.

Stalin cherry-picked what he wanted from “Marxism” and left behind the things he didn’t like. That doesn’t make him a Marxist, it makes him a Stalinist, and there’s literally nothing you could say to change that.

Thank you. Yes. Nethack is a great comfort game.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is fantastic for me, too. You can play it through your browser (or download it) here.

I have to say, though, there’s nothing quite like a game of Rogue. When I play it I’m instantly transported back to childhood. Rogue was my first real video game obsession as a kid. I found it on my grandfather’s Apple IIgs and was just blown away. I remember being so enthralled by how deep it felt at the time. I had transcribed the commands to a piece of paper so I didn’t have to consult the in-game docs constantly. I was terrible at it, and never got anywhere close to beating it back then, but even dying was fun. You can play it online here. Type ? (or F1) to see the list of commands.

Such a good soundtrack!

While this isn’t specifically about “trans rights”, it does seem to indicate that linux may have an opinion on the subject.
