. Software developers rely on and need data, you can't guess what people want.

Why would I want software developers (particularly web browser) to guess what I want? I will tell them what I want, otherwise they have no business serving it to me.

If I'm not offering that data, it means I don't want you to have it. Simple as that.

It lets developers target what to improve and fix instead of going in blind.

I'm sure they'll make do

Why would that indicate arrogance?

but you from south england to wales or Manchester then upto to Edinburgh youd see more variation than most of USA in culture and city

Yeah no, this is just wrong, and again completely ignoring the, "people don't seem to understand how large the US is."

I am aware that most of our large cities were designed around automobiles, but there's (literally) countless smaller cities and towns that vary wildly in appearance, tradition, population, etc. 99% of which you will never even hear about as a European.

For example, do a quick Google search to see how many boroughs are in New Jersey alone. Then look at how small NJ is compared to the rest of the nation.

You can drive pretty much anywhere in the state of NJ, and be unable to swing a cat without hitting a world class pizza place, great Chinese food, amazing sushi, Mexican, Thai, etc. etc. Like quite literally the best pizza in the world.

The food you will find in a literal hole in the ground in Paterson fucking NJ is better than most of what you can find from South England to Edinburgh.

All he had to do was say, "don't own people," and yet...

Not saying the Bible is totally anti slavery,

The Bible is explicitly pro-slavery. It was literally used by slavers in the 19th century American South to justify and continue the practice of chattal slavery. They printed "slave Bibles" where all mentions of anything related to "freedom" were removed, and the focus was on teaching obedience and submission.

What a thing for an "all-powerful" god to facilitate. Even if he were real and simply allowed his holy book to be used for such an evil purpose is enough for me to say "yeah, no thanks."

Imagine paying money for a streaming service in 2025, and not being able to get higher than 1080p. Insane.

One of my personal favorites:

  • Luke 12:46-48:

46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of [d]a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.

Jesus sure loved his slaves, huh? Gives you guidelines on how to beat them. Told people to "love your enemies," but clearly people you own don't deserve that courtesy. He hung out with prostitutes, but was never able to disavow the practice of owning other humans as property? Kind of unacceptable imo.

The canonical Bible (the supposed ordained word of god) also include's Paul's further interpretation of Jesus' teachings on slaves in...

  • Ephesians 6:5–8:

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

Oof.

How do the fingerprinting protection things defeat the purpose of librewolf? Seems like an unambiguously good thing for privacy... Or does it conflict with another feature?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True, forgot about Cruetzfeldt-Jacob.

Also, think that one in Africa that happened because the natives in the area had a tradition of eating the brains of their dead loved ones, was also a prion. I want to say Kuru? Koru?

Mine is several years old at this point so could be better now... It's even worse for me, there is no rhyme or reason to the (several second long) input lag. Seems to be getting worse with age.

Huh? Yeah, sorry, not gonna get on board with your bizarre misunderstanding of very important fields.

To be honest, I just threw a number out there without bothering to do the math... I guess I was thinking post-WW2, but yeah it could have been slightly later.
