So instead of keeping a phone roughly the size of a pocket in your pocket, they expect us to want to put "bricks" in our pockets that unfold into phones.

IIRC, it was not usual, but they didn't want hanging corpse decorations for the holiday/festival... and they were worried one might steal the body and claim resurrection.

I don't know what I'm looking at, and I'm not sure I want to know.

Wifi is expensive, so they implemented honkfi.

What gets me is the "this phone cant be trusted" message on boot. Implying OEM roms are trustworthy, but nothing i choose or create could possibly be.

This would be a great time-capsule meme, with no context or explanation.

If so, does that mean people actually remember a persons name & face after only one encounter?!

If not, why do we pretend they will be upset, and try to hide the fact that we forget an unfamiliar name?

I deal with a lot of VMs for varying purposes, and it seems frequent that my purpose for opening firefox is derailed by some kind of nag. For example, I frequently get the "you haven't used firefox in a while" in vms that I rarely use firefox and have to go disable the "meta refresh" option in the "about:config".

Now, I've started seeing this one... it's not even one of the passive banners but a full-page stop-the-world w/ semi-transparent background and right-click prevention.

Before I invest too much time trying to figure out how to disable these, or templating profile options en-masse, or the like... I thought I might ask... is there a way I can tell firefox that I only want it to only be a web-browser? i.e. an effective tool and not an attention sink or exciting video-game-like challenge of exploration and closing popups and suggestions while trying to remember why I launched it.

Somewhat relatedly, there is some kind of irony with firefox prominently offering to copy a URL without tracking for other sites, but when it is their own ad (however benign it might seem) that they disable right-clicks and load up on the trackers. The above button links to:

I know managers love that term, but I think I've come to hear it as an insult... Sorta like being called an unprofessional "jack of all trades" budget handyman that does everything mediocre...
