I think many Firefox users are tech savvy enough to know that Firefox for iOS is just a reskinned Safari. They know that it isn’t the real-deal and so any stats on who uses Firefox on iOS are kind of misrepresenting the situation.

iOS would have root access to aGPS (or even real GPS) to determine location. There’s no easy way to spoof that against a determined asshole actor.

The reason they moved back is because Excel.

Minecraft is deceptively hard on cpu and gpus for what the game appears to be. It looks simple, but that simplicity comes at the cost of very high computational loads due to how dynamic and interactive everything is. They add in new features pretty frequently for a game I bought 12 years ago. Those features aren’t free and they stress the system even more. Be happy it is playable at all on a phone - it’s nice that they added in tuning parameters to let your phone be capable of playing it instead of saying you need the newest RTX4090 just to get 30fps

It ran while simulating a distance of one chunk at a time. Computers could simulate much more because the game was written to let software define just how far from the user to render. Phones rendered hardly anything which let them at least play the game.

It just has an absolute ton of calculations to perform on hardware that is not made for it.

God damnit they’re going to start making tiktoks into gift cards or some shit.

I buy the bulk pack of general purpose gift cards. Some have got flowers on the front. Others say Happy Birthday in gender neutral styling. They’re all blank on the inside. I write messages to people. The pack of 20 cards costs about the same as two of those shitty pre-written gift cards.

Five guys will let you fuck your burger

This echos my last five guys in restaurant people watching experience.

Mozilla has 0 browsers for iOS except a skin over Safari.

So really it would just be a browser for the EU and nothing for everyone else.

They will in the EU. Hopefully it’s easy to game the system and sideload a non-safari browser in the future.

Yeah but it was an unsecure piece of shit for more than the past decade

That’s why I said go to a wealth management firm. Even relatively small firms routinely handle hundreds of millions.

It’s not so hard to put it in the bank and hire a wealth management firm. They’ll take care of you and tell you how much you can spend each year without losing money. It’d turn into a free $500k salary for life.

I used to have their card just for gas. But I sold my truck and have an EV now. Maybe it’s time to close that account because costco is truly a detriment to my after tax take home pay.

Except their premium canned peanuts. God those are good. The stuff at the grocery store is always stale and 4x the price per weight.

You do you. But I would like to point out that prime encourages excessive consumption of crap we all don’t need. Maybe this bullshit will let you consider dumping prime altogether and perhaps you will find that it isn’t missed.

Personally I do buy stuff from amazon on occasion. Like windshield wipers of odd sizes. But the lack of two day shipping is a good moderator to help me curb my american programmed buy-fucking-everything-to-fill-that-hole-inside mentality.

Yeah that’s the case with programming… well anything. This at least gives you a way to automatically receive all of that data from any app without excessive prior knowledge. With a small amount of info you can filter for specific events and create all kinds of robust functionality. That’s the power of a set protocol - it is to make things widely compatible with one another by only depending on the dbus protocol and app name. Otherwise you may need to depend on some shared objects which makes deployment and maintenance a total clusterfuck.

It’s much easier to understand how dbus works once than to understand how every daemon you connect to works every time you interface with a new daemon.

I used to love Thinkpad laptops up until Lenovo bought the line - build quality dropped off a cliff after that. I’ve avoided them since then so I can’t comment on their current build qualities except to say they used to be built stronger than those toughbooks with handles.

Bankruptcy debt settlement are usually for a fraction of the stated amount. I’ve heard of families who have discharged over 100k of cc debt and only had to pay about 10k. Usually you will lose bigger assets like vehicles, but keep your home.
