Yeah, "Quake theme" (track 1) for me, especially after a machinima used it; tho some of the "Ghosts" tracks are also favorites.

If you say you're religious you're

  • incapable of distinguishing reality from fairy-tales,
  • a liar,
  • or both.

That didn't stop Christians for the last 1700 years.

Doesn't the USA use the word "calories" sometimes for kilocalories in food? So they divide the actual amount of calories by 1000. They also round certain things down, so that when they say "zero calories", the can can actually have "3600 calories"?

Librewolf was a candidate I would have installed and tried, but its missing a feature: it does not have builtin support for passwords.

I always disable password management by Firefox, but I noped out of LibreWolf because it doesn't allow users to block all cookies and then whitelist domains for cookies.

I suspect what a lot of people want is a custom version of Firefox with the garbage surgically removed before compile; where the opt-in options still exist for:

  • browser-kept passwords,
  • browser-kept payment details,
  • blocking cookies,
  • whitelisting cookie domains,
  • crash reports,
  • remote changes between updates,
  • scanning everything you download for danger,
  • scanning every site you go to for danger,
  • etc. .

"Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran—they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing—we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all." - Donald Trump, military.com, USA Today

He's a narcissistic psychopath who chose to break the Iran deal, but the context shows that preventing a nuclear-armed Velâyat-e Faqih is more important.

Also, “It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, […] you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.” – George Carlin, YouTube

The article says the attacker was bald, and later evidence found him to be part of the "antideutsch scene", "an outgrowth of the German far-left whose rejection of German nationalism has translated into explicit pro-Israel and pro-American views".

I don't think that makes him a Nazi. He could be, but the article doesn't say that, or that he's a skinhead,

[Thanks morgunkorn for replying to show where it is: on our Profile pages, 4 lines beneath our usernames.]

How can I find a list of the Lemmy posts I've saved in my browser?

Saving posts are done by clicking on the star icon. Once saved the icon becomes orange.

Can't find them on my Profile page, or via the Search page, and searches seem to only answer it for apps.

 

Edit: copying the font to /usr/local/share/fonts/ fixed it. (I downloaded Debian Xfce a while ago because of how much I dislike Snap, so I'll soon replace Xubuntu with it.)

I recently installed the font “Atkinson Hyperlegible” on Xubuntu 22.04.3 (via right click, Fonts 41.0), and I use it as the Xfce UI font and the default in Mousepad and LibreOffice without any problems.

However in Firefox 120.0.1 (64-bit), Snap for Ubuntu, canonical-002 - 1.0; it’s not listed at Edit, Settings, Fonts; or Fonts, Advanced…

When I view an HTML page where the CSS’ body has font-family:"Atkinson Hyperlegible",sans-serif; it also doesn’t use the Atkinson font. That page also doesn’t use Atkinson in the (Epiphany GNOME) Web 45.1 browser.

Any ideas on how to get Firefox and Epiphany to see it?

 

Jeffrey Kaplan's lecture helped me better understand international relations, war, authoritarians, capitalists, etc. (reading guide (PDF)).

 

Did the Staten-Generaal supervise the Heeren XVII, was it the other way round, were they usually the same people, or did it not work like that?
