  Mushrooms are closer to animals than they are to pineapples, though.

  PayPal is a merge of Confinity (where Thiel is one of the founders for) and X.com (another online financials company at that time, and we all know who is obsessed with X).

  Then go for it’s forks Waterfox or Librewolf?

  Brave is tied to Peter Thiel, the other PayPal cunt using his money to make the world worse.

  Quelle surprise…

  Populists really use their best people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really aimed at programmers, but for someone who is used to the better known proprietary versions (so with sketching and “shaping” with a mouse,), it’s barely useable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, my approximation to an English r is more like a muted w than anything involving curling the tongue and still there’s a major difference between r and l sounds. (The r in my native language is also fairly unique, possibly regional.)

  Yeah, it’s dubious that a chromium derivative founded by an ex-Mozilla engineer who resigned after his anti-gay marriage politics were displayed and partially funded by Peter Thiel is recommended over de-blobbed Firefox derivatives.

  Thank you for your explanation!

  I exclusively log in on my phones or computers, so the devices which have the copies of the database. (With a backup to an external server under my control.)

  Question: why would you store passwords with an external service?

  I have a local database synched with SyncThing between phones and computers and an external copy on a server.

  Agreed, I have a (pre-HP) Samsung laser printer and it works whenever I need it to. Sure, it only works via USB and only has one button and an on/off switch, but it works when needed.
