No. They’re aiming for that regardless.

This is a large reason why I dreaded Apple making iOS apps a priority for the Mac. Everything wrong about the mobile model becomes a first class citizen.

I feel like this is a large portion of the missing puzzle pieces. The difference between real world and advertised ICE stats are somewhat padded, but not significantly. You'd expect the hybrids to have a similar degree of discrepancy, but it's wildly out of range of expectations. It may simply be that the manufacturers are giving idealized stats, since while testing they would have access to their personal charger in a laboratory environment. But in the real world, owners cannot guarantee working/accessable chargers or even that they can charge at home, which would dramatically impact the results of this study.

Or at least, I'd assume that's the case in the US. I don't know what EU's charging infrastructure is like, where the study was preformed.

Mmm. Did Russia even need to incite it, or just toss gasoline on the flames that are already burning?

I appreciate this level-headed take from someone knowledgeable on the topic. It's very easy to get riled up over the issue in Gaza, and it's important to discern where certain actions are sanctioned or not.

That said, I suspect there were better ways to deescalate the issue on Girl Scouts' end. Threatening litigation over a contentious humanitarian issue is begging for bad publicity. But, I'm not privy to the exchanges that brought it to that level.

On top of the revelation everyone else is having about this comic, I’m noting that Vera is, ostensibly, a chick.

Gotta appreciate the layers.

I believe the antivax movement was able to take root because the US has cultivated an intense distrust of the medical system.

• You pay high medical insurance premiums only to get denied when it’s time to cash in.

• You avoid calling for an ambulance because the ride alone will bankrupt you.

• You go to the ER only to get hundreds of dollars in fine for over the counter Tylenol.

The public was trained by the medical institutions to look for any excuse to reject them. The antivax movement was a way to express that distrust, even if unconsciously. Politicians simply lit that major oil spill and gave it a voice.

Likewise, we live in a capitalistic hellscape where no one can afford homes and cars to take them to jobs where they’re underpaid and can be let go in an instant, not due to performance, but because an executive wanted another tax break on the dragon money hoard they refuse to put back into the economy.

Like with the antivaxers, we have been conditioned to expect the worst and that impacts our gut reactions.

Firefox on iOS uses WebKit.

I think you’ve inadvertently narrowed down that the issue is an extension you have enabled for Safari. Since it’s not the website itself.

Mmm… I can kinda see the argument. DuckDuckGo may not be collecting your info, specifically, but anything remotely loaded certainly is.

Still, shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good.

That kinda makes sense.

Sanctions only work because of pre-existing trade with unscrupulous powers. Similar logic.

I mean, those are good ideas… but isn’t that already arguably covered by the FBI?

Any update on that VPN breaking issue?
