I don’t know what mistake, but you’re welcome! I was just making a reference to that legendary wine commercial - I can’t see a picture of him and not have “Aaaahh, the french” popping in my head.

Unlikely, browser vendors are very careful adding such APIs, and MS doesn’t have the pull Google does.
A simple fix is, of course, not to use Edge.

The browser version shouldn’t be able to access this info.

Surely it must be related to their ability to sense changes to water pressure to an incredible degree. Otherwise they could never keep a Sharknado stable for more than a few seconds.
- Comment on OP figures out love languages 4 days ago:
Most cats and dogs don’t hate their own species - they are social animals and naturally live in groups with their own species! But when you raise cats and dogs almost solely around humans, they don’t know how to behave around members of their own species, and so depending on their personalities they react in ways that seem to you like “hating their own species”.

I’m sorry, but… The Incredibles was released more than two decades ago.

Is that the fork that converts regexes into mp4?
- Comment on i unapologetically love male pits 1 week ago:
The ones who find it “gross” are the worst.
“Finding it gross” in the sense of judging you, or if they think they themselves are gross if their pits smell? I dislike when I can smell myself, so I wouldn’t acquiesce (often), but I wouldn’t think that you are gross for liking it.

Yes it does.

Why is it so evil and intimidating?
- Comment on Every 1 in ~200 dollars of wealth of the US population is owned by one person 1 week ago:
How about you give whatever number you think is the accurate one first?
GDP isn’t directly related to wealth, so it’s not relevant.

Total US wealth seems to be $150-160 trillion, so it checks out?

AFAIU you can’t determine whether the state on the other side has been collapsed. All you can say with certainty is the state on the other side after you have collapsed yours.

You know, I want to get into sandwiches, but I always feel like I throw away half the stuff because I don’t eat it quickly enough, or because I run out.
Any tips?

Thank you!
- Comment on I'm glad i grabbed this wii fit balance board from the trash a decade ago, wow! 2 weeks ago:
For half a year, my daily workout routine was ~half an hour of Beatsaber on Expert+, and then one run through the campaign of Pistol Whip (first one). I should get back into that…

Yes, and if anything were to eat me, it would have the same experience I have eating a chocolate.bar with coconut in it :(
- Comment on deez nutz save lives 2 weeks ago:
There is no greater disappointment for me than biting into something without suspecting a thing, and my taste buds then suddenly being assaulted by the vileness dubbed “coconut flavor”.
In case my remains are consumed by animals or plants, I can’t put them through something I hate so much. I mean, do we even know how long this will make you taste like coconut?!

I would rather die

Not the only downside - some MS developed extensions, e.g. their Python integration, have to be patched to work with VSCodium: github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641
Yeah, they really added DRM.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 4 weeks ago:
This happened quite often for various UI settings etc. Often there were technical reasons for removing the option (e.g. rewrites), but it is a real thing.
