Change your perspective... and the reality changes!
That's what a daycare npc told me in Pokemon Black. Although I haven't really found much use for the quote, it has stuck with me for long.
That's why I started setting Firefox as the default browser on my family's phones. They were too annoyed by ads and almost got scammed once. With Firefox and uBlock Origin it's like magic for them. Plus they don't visit any non-mainstream websites so they'll never encounter such a screen.
A small step to a better web-browsing experience for all of us.
Elizabeth II came to the throne a little later than when she was 16, right? Imagine the cultural shift - paired with the fact that our minds become less comfortable with change as we grow.
So I applied an updated version of Firefox-UI-fix for Firefox 120, and now my accent on selected tabs is gone.
For context, this is what it looks like now -
The image below is in private window mode, because for some reason it works over there. Focus on the line above the selected tab, with a blue accent line. This is how I want it to be -
Here are my chrome and user.js folders.
Why does every post on this sub have Rule in the title?
Also is it just a meme sub or something else/
That's... an astonishingly low number.
So, you know how on mainstream Firefox, the shortcut icons are a bit padded to give them a uniform look?
Yeah, I wanna do that, but with Waterfox, a fork of Firefox. I know, this is not exactly the sub for that browser, but this is the closest I could find here on lemmy.
Currently on Waterfox, the padding on shortcut icons seems erratic.

I learnt quite a lot, but I guess the most important things I've learnt is IT stuff. Since I had a computer, I used to mess with anything and everything. As a result I learnt things that people can pay thousands to a third party to do, when it sits right on their PC. One of my relatives is in the IT industry (senior manager for a unicorn company) and I once casually just showed him what I knew. Even he admitted I had some interesting stuff up my sleeve.
Definitely been noticing that. I thought it was only me...
It's absurd, yes, but nothing new. Many of the kids at my own school are leaning to the far right, without ever stopping and wondering if it even profits them. All they see are a couple of Instagram reels and hear "global leader" and "country's decade" and decide they'll follow the government blindly even if the most harm will be done to them. Worshipping your political idols is a way of life, and anyone who doesn't see the very same line as yours is an anti-nationalist. You might have guessed by now, alas, I speak of India.
Not so much a rule, but a new restriction. So, in my school, 8th grade classrooms were directly above the floor where 6th grade classrooms were. The classrooms on the upper floor were connected by what were essentially just concrete bridges. You could just jump from the upper floor corridors to the ground floor and skip the crowded stairs, but teachers were always on the watch. I guess they cheaped out.
So back when I was in 6th grade, I used to get bullied a lot. Like, the whole time. One day, I was in a particularly bad mood, as I was returning to my room just after the recess bell rang, from the upper floor to the ground floor. A kid decided it was a nice idea to grab my books and throw them down to one of his friends, where he could run away with it. The stairs were too overcrowded usually at this time, the complete recess could be over and you'd be stuck halfway.
So the guy ran up to me from behind, grabbed my books and threw them below, where his friend caught it as expected. Me being in a fuck-all bad mood, I just jumped straight down from the corridors, and much to the bewilderment of the guy below, caught him in just a second. Teachers went wild on me for that. I was called to the principal's office, threatened suspension, yada yada, but they didn't do anything in the end because I was good at studies - the whole reason for me being bullied.
Over the weekend, they removed the tiny railings and installed complete floor to roof bars to prevent anyone from dropping below. So yeah, I kind of changed a rule, depends on how you view it.
When I left home at 19, things opened up for me a lot more than I expected. But I still regret the 8 years that I was just "hanging in there" because the alternative was just so much better. I see where you are coming from, but unless the parents are only somewhat bad parents that otherwise take care of you, this is bad advice.
