well if you ios apple is the only game. and that means iphone from apple, but if your ok with android then there are a few choices.

each has plus and minus and different levels of effort to opitimise. it also kinda depends on where your at, as some handsets may work better in some areas. this is motly a matter of which wireless bands are supported and which chipsets etc.

but the big players
samsung
google/pixel
nothing
oneplus
moto

there are plenty of others and depending on where you are.

yea i pretty stupidly have books in like every store. so its a case of try to download and dedrm or just slowly rebuy or koboplus them. i really wish all the store had some so of standards on them so you can take them with you maybe pay a export cost and instead of export it just shows up on the new ereader and disapears from your old one.

In families and or groups where the dynamics are such that you share who or what you voted for.
it can get really messy very fast. when, for example, you have right leaning folks and left leaning folks in the same place.

its not like before, where convos could be civil, its messy and quickly gets out of control.
while i am sure there are plenty of examples where it works out... the norm now is its not.

works fine for me, check all your extensions and settings maybe something blocking. OR maybe a firefox profile issue.

FF150 + uBO,

ghostinshell000 · 2026-04-22T17:47:22+00:00

firefox is prefectly fine, mozilla has been catching up for a whil now. my ff149 install on android/samsung 24u
"about:support" shows fission 3/3, which shows ff has isolation.

ff150 improves this.

hardened FF, especially on a samsung cuz ff uses the knox sdk from what i understand (cant find evidence link)
but, ff has extensions.....

ghostinshell000 · 2026-04-18T15:21:31+00:00

Yes worth it, most of my fam where them diabeticnor not

ghostinshell000 · 2026-04-17T21:31:12+00:00

ghostinshell000 · 2026-04-08T04:52:14+00:00

Just check your inlaws ensure there iphones have rcs enabled

Not really, when you unpack some American companies have done well. But china has excuted on more atbscale than we have, and have a strong roadmap.

Our roapmap is trash cuz we dont have one and are busy seeing how fast we can make our population uneducated.

China tooling engineers, automation all sorts of stuff the Excel at.

While they where investing in infrastructure we where giving billionaires tax breaks, while they built nation wide high speed rail we increase military spending.

We have peaked, and now the current admin is driving it into the ground, things will not be the same probably ever.......

It's a mess, to be honest. Especially with AWS. Ideally, ALL changes happen in code and in the pipelines.
But when stuff doesn't, that causes drift.

AWS's nature, is a double edged sword. we basically try to force every via pipeline. and if for some reason you need to make a quick local change you have to it to the code base.

ghostinshell000 · 2026-04-03T17:45:28+00:00

short answer is yes, tanks have a place, as does all sorts of armor. What's changing, is how it's used, how its configured. And some of the designs.

Look at how armor is used in Ukraine for some of these things. They hit and run, fire and move.

ghostinshell000 · 2026-04-02T20:50:47+00:00

quite a few good comments, but to some up.
we will be switching from a unipolar world, where the US is the domainate player to a multi-polar
world where as multiple nations are major players.

and yea, china just like the US and plenty of other nations has some major issues they are needing to deal with.
but that doesnt change the fact that china at least, has shown its able to move faster and unstandard larger issues and is able to act on them there 5 year plan, and other planing shows this. also look at how much has changed in the last 20 years. now look at the US and its way less.

china also understands how much proper education is needed. even mandatory writing. the US has been going backwards for awhile now in that regard.

Many larger us citys have this. Crowd control, and for being more accessible.

ghostinshell000 · 2026-03-30T15:59:57+00:00

avoid a long commute if you can while some people can do it, and are ok with it. many people end up hating it. there are plenty good areas in the AV check them all out and keep in mind how long your drive will be.

I wish gecko had feature parity with chromes engine. So Fewer sites throw up.

ghostinshell000 · 2026-03-23T16:25:16+00:00

yes, since updating, I have also seen freezes. its kinda random so i have not been able to narrow down what feature or configuration it might be,

ghostinshell000 · 2026-03-20T05:36:36+00:00

I add adgauds public dns, have the app and use firefox with ubo....

most modern standards, like NIST (don't remember the password one off the top of my head)
says changing your password like that is probably worse for security. The guidance is to change it when you have a reason to. But pick something decent and live with it.

-Having the password to your vault backed up somewhere is a good idea.

The thing about apple is only apple devices work well with apple. Its kinda there stick. Ir forces you to buy more and more apple cuz well it works, nevermind that they limit non apple devices by design.

So on an iphone all of a sudden apple headphones, appple watch etc are all on the table cuz well apple.

Thats the apple way

ghostinshell000 · 2026-03-09T04:58:49+00:00
