First up, Beethoven's fur elise. This SMAF remix takes the piece in a Latin direction, replacing the lead piano with a trumpet, and adding its own background improvisation on other instruments. From Samsung PC Studio version 2.0. Arranger unknown.

okay so, Firefox has become a piece of shit as of late, like, super slow, lots of UI bugs that piss me the hell off and just keep getting worse and worse, etc.
I really don’t want to switch to a browser that’s Fucking Chrome out of ideology, but it seems like the only alternative is Safari/WebKit and there aren’t any other compelling WebKit browsers on macOS+Windows. Could some Internet reply guy prove me wrong on this?
Also ideally it’d have Bitwarden and uBlock Origin or similar.

Let's keep the contributor appreciation from earlier going! Our most recent Contributor Highlight is out, and we're shining the light on Toad Hall, one of our Mozilla Support (SUMO) forum superheroes! The SUMO forums are the pillar of our support, and contributors like Toad keep it strong.
@73CC We don't track you and we don't have trackers! We have telemetry, which is a completely different thing that is fully anonymous and only collects technical pings . You can see the things we collect here: stats.thunderbird.net/
But also, you can already completely disable telemetry from the settings page.
With the release of Thunderbird Mobile, the tracker was removed.
»incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org« was included in the beta version.
yes, you could write a script that crashed the system, but you can always boot without JAWS.
A dangerous script could potentially corrupt your Windows installation, but it'd have to be pretty impressive to ruin the hardware.

One of the downsides of working in govt for many years is I can no longer watch tv shows or movies about spies or conspiracies
‘I wonder how they procured that piece of tech and what forms they had to fill out’
‘I wonder what time code they used to track their after-hours sleuthing time’
‘How did they expense that’
The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!
I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And it’s free for all. 🚀

New from 404 Media: people are using AI to auto apply for jobs. Bot scrolls LinkedIn, opens job applications, writes cover letter. Users say they've got interviews

If TFG wins, expect a run on fly-by-night crypto/fintech companies. VCs are holding back on deals to see what they can get away with in the next administration.
The risk profile between an admin run by a former prosecutor and one run by a dude currently running many of the same scams turns out to be a little different.
Anyway, if you care even a little bit about grifters trying to sell Grandma unregulated crypto derivatives, that’s one of 1000 things that hinge on this presidential election.

Do you need Code of Conduct Enforcement training in 2025?
Fill out my workshop time survey:
Help me figure out what time to run my monthly Code of Conduct Enforcement workshops.
otter.technology/code-of-condu…
With people needing training in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America, it's impossible to find one single workshop time that works for everyone. So each month I pick a different time zone to best accommodate.
If you are a conference organizer, please let me know which month and time you need training!
You can either fill out the form, or send an email to sharp@otter.technology
Nejdřív mě v kaufu nasrali. Lednice s minipivovary zmizela od piv. No tak jsem tam vzal basu ve slevě.
A pak mě znova nasrali. Oni tu lednici jen přestěhovali k pokladnám 🙃
Kurzer Bericht im DLF über Behinderten-Ausbeutungsbetriebe ("Werkstätten").
Es gilt immer noch als Argument, dass behinderte Menschen mit einem feuchten Händedruck entlohnt werden können, weil sie dankbar sein sollten, überhaupt arbeiten zu dürfen. Es ist einfach nur empörend, wie unsere Gesellschaft mit Menschen umgeht.
Knapp 6 Minuten, es gibt eine Zusammenfassung als Text.

Ich kenne übrigens einige der Argumente aus meiner Erwerbslosenzeit, wenn mir irgendwelche Mistjobs oder Quatschmaßnahmen schmackhaft gemacht werden sollten: Geregelter Tagesablauf (als wäre das ein Wert an sich), "Anerkennung" (als stünde ein entwürdigender Lohn dem Anerkennungsgefühl nicht offensichtlich entgegen), "Sinnstiftung und Identität" (weil ein Mensch ohne Arbeit ein wertloser Niemand ist), blabla. Das alles sei viel wichtiger und toller als eine angemessene oder überhaupt eine Bezahlung.
Unsere verkorkste Arbeitsmythologie macht wenige Menschen reich und viele Menschen arm und krank.

Das ist eine Nummer, die du in einer Situation weitergeben kannst, in der du dich belästigt oder unwohl fühlst. Wählt die Person dann diese Nummer, erhält sie kurze Zeit später folgende Nachricht:
„Hey, hier ist Noa. Eine Person hat sich nicht wohlgefühlt und dir deswegen diese Nummer gegeben. Besuche noanruf.de/nummer-bekommen/ und schau, wie du diese Situation beim nächsten Mal vermeiden kannst. Grüße, NoA.“
Today windows did another of its interesting gropey behaviours, changing my default browser to edge. I'm not going to fucking use edge, not now, not later. Stop trying.
And for some reason the programs that were opened while this change took place wouldn't use the right browser until I restarted them. Ugh.
We need a printer for the home office.
Small footprint is probably the top thing, because space is tight. Think something a bit bigger than a sheet of A4 for the ideal.
But we print rarely, so don't want the ink to dry up. It needs to be pulled out after 6-9 months of inactivity and work.
I am so lost with inktanks versus inkjet and have never seen a small laser printre.

Außerdem noch in der LightDM-Konfigurationsdatei (entweder /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf oder /etc/xdg/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/80_orca-dm-wrapper.conf) den Orca-Greeter einschalten, damit bei der Anmeldung gesprochen wird: greeter-wrapper=/usr/bin/orca-dm-wrapper
No idea how it renders visually but it works well for VO.
and the developer is a really nice guy. I left the testing group a few months back because I wanted to give Nostr a try. Only realizing now that you can actually use both. Though, I have to be careful what I say on here lest I get booted, something that can’t happen on Nostr.
Tell him I said hello. 😊
Sometimes Emacs drives me up the fucking wall, but then I have to use editable dired like once a year and I regain all my love for it.
Is this codependency.

EDIT: Tor is based on Firefox, not Chrome, my bad!

in reply to fluffy 💜 • • •ok so basically, I like FIrefox in general, but I wish I could turn off the endless ads for their shitty VPNs and their "review checker" bullshit and all the other crap that gets in the way of the web and makes everything slow
and I wish they'd fuckin, like, fix UI bugs like where the location bar just suddenly stops working
