Firefox now includes safeguards to prevent sites from abusing the history API by generating excessive history entries, which can make navigating with the back and forward buttons difficult by cluttering the history. This intervention ensures that such entries, unless interacted with by the user, are skipped when using the back and forward buttons.
Nice
You're right, based on those definitions the word doesn't mean what I intended. I don't know what the right word would be. I used it to mean one who overreacts to relatively minor or inconsequential transgressions, taking drastic, often out-of-proportion or only tangentially relevant actions to rectify perceived harms.
One example would include people ditching the entire company Proton, an entity with a stellar track record of improving the state of privacy on the internet, after a single member of their board made some dipshit comments. Another example might include the general reaction a few months ago when that misleading story about Mozilla and ad tracking was making the rounds. Other more extreme examples would be the passing of the Patriot Act and invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan following 9/11, or the Israeli response to 2023's attack on them.
Well now I'm just gonna download it even harder.
He's saying they're wrong for not currently being open.
It's owned by, but not made by - they acquired it at some point. I don't think they've really done much to it since acquisition but I assume they have things planned, because otherwise why buy it?
I'm in pretty deep on the email side to the point where leaving would take days or weeks of effort. I'm not above making that effort if I think it's necessary though. I do not yet think it's necessary.
I did just start using my second Proton product, Standard Notes, around two months ago. I'm not honestly sure if I'll renew it when it expires - we'll see how the year goes. I honestly have very little expectation that Proton is enshittifying or turning evil. I'll be very surprised if it becomes a recurring pattern for them.
15 is the percent of the tip, not the percent increase in tip income over the last decade. If the tip percentage stays constant, then the tip amount rises in direct proportion to the food cost. The fair comparison is rent increase vs. restaurant food price increase. The data I found indicates rent's gone up at an average of 4% per year in the last decade, and that restaurant food prices have risen by a similar amount - anywhere from 3-7% depending on the industry.
Everyone is struggling. It is not unique to servers. And I do tip - just a reasonable 15%. If a server is struggling to get by on 15% tips, they should harass their boss and their senator, not their customers who are likely struggling as well.
I still thinks his takes were bad and tone-deaf. I get that he liked a certain appointee Trump made that's relevant to his industry. And, knowing nothing at all about the appointee myself, they may in actuality be a good pick. But he went well beyond praising the appointee, to praising Trump and Republicans in general - albeit for the specific narrow topic of "reigning in big tech".
While his takes were arguably valid given recent history (I'd still say not), it was completely tone deaf to the reality of what the present-day Republican party and Trump mean for America, and especially ignorant of the obvious buddying-up big tech has done with Trump in the past few months.
I think if he narrowly aimed his praise at the appointee herself, without then making sweeping generalities about Republicans vs. Democrats, that nobody here would even be aware of who he is, let alone what he said.
I do think the internet in general tends to be very reactionary - I don't think Lemmy is any more reactionary than, say, reddit, but both are very reactionary. Anyone who jumps ship over this guy's comment will just end up jumping ship again from whatever their new ship is, after that company makes some move they see as imperfect in a few months or years. No company is perfect. Proton is at least great.
I'll vouch for Proton. The recent controversy wasn't great but it's also a single negative incident for a company that has otherwise had a pretty stellar track record. I recommend reading his responses in the reddit AMA he did after the incident. I still think he's a fool, but I don't think he's fascist or that there's any reason at all to doubt the privacy, security, or direction of the company, which is both partly open source and regularly audited.
I've been using ProtonMail for probably around 7 years now and it's been great.
I'm punishing them by giving them what was until 10 years ago considered an excellent and standard tip?
Not to mention that servers are, as a general group, extremely opposed to dismantling the tip system as a whole. My complaint wasn't about raised food prices, which the owner would be in control of - it was about raised tipping percentage expectations. I refuse to contribute to the steadily rising expectation of how much a tip should be, and regret my past contributions to that trend.
Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.
Consider the function defined by y = x^(sin(x)^sin(x)). Observe its graph. Find an increasing function which passes through each of its local maximums, and another increasing function which passes through each of its local minimums.
Extra credit: You'll notice the graph isn't drawn for x-values which make sin(x) negative. This is because most of those values make the function undefined - though it is defined for infinitely many points in those intervals, it just also has infinitely many holes. Since it lacks continuity here, it has no true local maxes or local mins, and doesn't impact the original problem. We can nonetheless cheat and fill in the holes by expanding the function to these regions with y = x^|sin(x)|^sin(x) (Using x^-|sin(x)|^sin(x) should also be technically valid, but is being ignored because it's discontinuous with the rest of the graph and not as pretty, but will be mentioned in my solution). Doing so adds more local maxes and local mins. The new local mins should line up with your function that finds the local maxes for the original function - but, find a new function which hits all of the new local maxes.
(x/5)^log_b(5) - (x/6)^log_b(6) = 0
An 8x5 rectangle. If the bottom left corner is considered (0, 0), then two lines are drawn within the rectangle, from (0, 4) to (8, 1) and from (1, 5) to (7, 0). The smaller two regions of the four these lines cut the rectangle into are shaded. What is their combined area?
The image is of a large unit square with five smaller disjoint shaded squares contained entirely within it. The five smaller squares are congruent. Four of them are at each corner of the large square. The fifth is in the center, rotated diagonally, so the center of each of its sides is touched by the vertex from one of the other four squares. You are given that the common length for the five smaller congruent squares is (a-sqrt(2)) / b, where a and b are positive integers. What is the value of a + b?
