In mobile FF, yes, it works natively. The “Add to home screen” works the same as it does in Chrome. Later versions, or at least Fennec, will open them as “apps” even if they don’t have a PWA manifest.

On desktop, lack of PWA support in FF continues to be a thorn in my side as well. I’ve resorted to using Web App Manager which is part of Linux Mint (you can install it on any distro, though. I’ve got it working fine in Debian Bookworm).

Yeah, I read that the other day. Wish it would do more than that, but it’s a start I guess.

I can’t wait until a Senator or comparable “it’s not a problem until it happens to me” lawmaker loses access to their digital library and goes on the warpath. That’s the only way out of this “you will own nothing” hellhole we’re in and moving deeper into.

Touche

I can do all that with my X1 Carbon which isn’t much thicker than an M1 Air. It’s got the same two USB-C / Thunderbolt ports but also has full-size HDMI, 2xUSB A, and wired headphones.

It seems like Apple’s main method of innovation is finding new ways to get people to buy $29.99 dongles over and over again.

They like to make things appear sleek until you actually have to use them. All that sleekness goes out the window as soon as someone hands you flash drive and you have to break out a dock.

I always thought he looks like a lump of mashed potatoes that rolled into a pile of assorted barber hair

👏

Lol I didn’t either.

MythTV?

Upvoted for a truly unpopular (and valid) opinion.

In a vacuum, I agree with you. Had it started off as a paid service, or if the paid version was substantially better on its own merits, I’d consider it. But in order for them to incentivize people to pay for Premium, they intentionally made the “standard” experience worse. I just cannot bring myself to reward that behavior/business practice.

Means the account is 30 days old or less. They don’t show on Lemmy b/c it’s a UI thing in Mbin. Some Lemmy clients add similar badges to new accounts, though, and they’re basically the same thing.

Throw it on the pile of things AI has ruined lol.

6 years per term, here, but no term limits. Combine that with name recognition, low-information voters, and “the devil you know”, and they’re basically / de-facto appointed for life, as you say. They can and have been voted out before, but it seems to be rare these days. Usually they retire (Manchin, supposedly), resign (Franken), or die of old age in office (Feinstein, Byrd).

Maybe crosspost to [email protected] and/or [email protected] since this is in the ballpark of what we talk about there.

Good question, and I’m not sure of the actual, lexicographic answer.

All I can say is there’s typically an implicit negative connotation when using the form “those people” regardless of intent. Usually it’s used that way when stereotyping or otherwise making a blanket statement about a group, so even benign uses of the phrase tend to sound hostile.

My guess is that “those persons” sounds more specific.

In before “they’re just writing that off their own taxes” or “they’re already going to donate it and you’re just reimbursing them”.

Most of the ones near me just ask if you want to “round up” or make a static donation amount. I’m guessing the coupon book is nothing more than the coupons they’d send out in the weekly paper. Having received similar coupon books as “welcome aboard” gifts, most of those deals aren’t even all that good. Plus, they likely expire, so it puts a time rush on using them and draws in business.

“If everything’s above board that store really just acting like an agent,” said [Laurie Styron, Executive Director, CharityWatch]. “They’re really just taking your money and at some point in the future passing it on to the charity if they’re filing their taxes correctly. It actually doesn’t have any impact on that store’s taxes,” she said.

I mean…I’m pushing middle age and can’t name one Taylor Swift song. If four songs were played, and 3 of them were Swift’s, I’d still probably not be able to pick it out.

Nothing against her or the genre of music, just has never seemed like it would be my cup of tea.

Not sure if this is the most environmentally-correct answer, but I’ve usually put old, beyond redemption glassware into a thick bag (like a dog food bag) and sealed it up. Those bags are usually thick enough that even if the glass breaks, it usually won’t break through.

Sealing the glass up in the same bags, I’ve also smashed them to pieces small enough that they’re no longer shards (depends on what i’m throwing away).

Glass is typically able to be cleaned in all but the worst cases, so I don’t throw it away often. Usually it’s when a glass or plate breaks and I don’t want to risk injury to the sanitation workers.

Alternatively: TIL most of the people who climbed Everest only half-assed it.

but didn’t tell anyone they had to wear a funny hat

FYI, I don’t know the specific case here, just being generic.

The rules are right there in the sidebar in pretty much all clients, though it varies on mobile depending on app/web UI. Most communities here have rules. Society has rules. Ignorance of those rules, whether accidental or willful, is never a valid excuse for breaking them. “I’m sorry, officer, I didn’t know I couldn’t do that” isn’t a valid legal strategy.

To return to the analogy: it would be like showing up to the event without a funny hat despite the invitation clearly stating that a funny hat is required and then being asked to leave. It’s on the attendee to read the details on the invitation and be aware of any requirements.

“Calling the police” would be more akin to escalating to a site admin to have you banned for that which, I agree, would be extreme unless the person decided to be an ass and make a scene on the way out (not throwing shade with that, just using an actual party example I’ve had to deal with).
