    they are allowed to express their femininity and I’m not.

    A man expressing masculinity? “That’s violently toxic!”

    A man expressing femininity? “That’s disgustingly pathetic!”

    Now that I’ve matured I hate the system that keeps me oppressed

    Except… who reinforces those oppressive rules?

    It ain’t men, that’s for sure. We just passively submit and nod our heads yes to whatever women say, least we are painted with the same brush by association, and be labelled misogynistic or “not a man” for disagreeing.





  • 16 characters was the minimum length a password should be due to how easy it was to crack… something like a decade ago.

    Now it’s something like 20 to 24 characters.

    Seriously, if your company is defining maximum password length and demanding specific content, it is failing at the security game. Have the storage location accept a hashed UTF-8 string of at least 4096 bytes - or nvarchar(max) if it’s a database field - and do a bitwise complexity calculation on the raw password as your only “minimum value” requirement.

    Look at how KeePass calculates password complexity, and replicate that for whatever interface you are using. Ensure that it is reasonable, such as 150-200bit complexity, and let users choose whatever they want to achieve that complexity.

    We don’t have anyone actively working on Windows support, and there are considerable changes required to make it work well outside a Unix-like environment.

    We would like to do Windows eventually, but it’s not a priority at the moment.

    This is how you make “critical mass” adoption that much more difficult.

    As much as I love Linux, if you are creating a program to be used by everyone and anyone, you achieve adoption inertia and public consciousness penetration by focusing on the largest platform first. And at 72% market share, that would be Windows.

    I hope this initiative works. I really do. But intentionally ignoring three-quarters of the market is tantamount to breaking at least one leg before the starting gate even opens. This browser is likely to be relegated to being a highly niche and special-interest-only browser with minuscule adoption numbers, which means it will be virtually ignored by web developers and web policy makers.


  • Any brands protected by American law must be independently-owned, with full transfer of all branding, patents, trade secrets, intellectual assets and physical assets.

    So, for example, for even a single bottle of Perrier to be sold in America, it needs to have been made by a company registered with the brand name of Perrier, with exclusive use of that name within the country, independently owned and under zero control by Nestle, being manufactured using the exact same process with the exact same ingredients, and having control of the exact same patents and American-side infrastructure.

    America is such a large marketplace that it would be impossible to split a company like this. Patents alone would prevent this, forcing Nestle to divest themselves of each individual subsidiary.

    where they help young adults and millennials deal with feelings of depression, disillusionment, and cynicism?

    You mean by eradicating the Parasite Class, dismantling vampire/vulture Capitalism, crashing the housing market by 75+%, and closing the wealth gap, thereby giving them a future that is not only affordable but also worth living and striving for?

    That sounds absolutely wonderful.





  • Despite uBlock, my first pick would be Tab Mix Plus. Firefox has yet to properly open up the API for tabs, so you still have to do some mucking around with internals, but TMP gives you multi-row tabs, specific tab-closing patterns, expanded right-click options, and a whole host of insanely useful tab features.

    I have been using TMP almost since the beginning, a good 15+ years now, and consider it to be absolutely essential to a proper Firefox setup. I would be happy to punt my TMP config file to anyone interested.



  • Honestly, there is a subtle but distinct difference between hardback and hardcover.

    A hardback book has the cover fully designed with graphics, as it is meant to be seen.

    A hardcover has a minimalist cover, without any designs since the dust jacket is what is visually flashy and attractive and is meant to be seen.

    Otherwise, the two are structurally identical, only with the hardcover having an extra protective layer in the dust jacket.
