Businesses tend to follow local laws, even outside China.

I will not say that you’re not doing the right thing, but I’d suggest reading the financial statements of Mozilla. If you think the way they’re steering Firefox is an issue, you may find a few surprises in there.

The money that goes in (and out) of Mozilla is well documented. At this point it’s mostly google. And it mostly pays for administration of the corporation itself.

Yes, you can. The same way you can disable a lot of annoying things in other programs. Still an annoyance at the expense of users, and a gateway to more passive users to click on something unexpected.

There were tons of options with multiple HTML elements with a sequence of CSS properties to reliably provide vertical centering (and also use vertical space at the same time) back in the days.

Now, between flex and grid (mainly flex for me, I find them more convenient) all the HTML scaffolding we used to make this work can be removed to get the same result. That’s what I mean with “no trick”.

Well, we’ve been vertically centring content with no-trick pure CSS for years now, so, good I guess?

Your solution to people wanting to buy some specific drinks is “don’t buy the thing you want, buy something else”. Hardly an answer.

How to say this in a non aggressive, non condescending way…

You’re stupid.

The thing stay open and out of the way. If it’s in your face when you drink from the bottle, it means you lack the ability to rotate a loose plastic ring 90° (or even the whole bottle). If it’s in the way of your pour, same thing.

They are as unobtrusive as it gets; and you going out of your way (with rage, it seems) to do something tedious like forcibly ripping them off or cutting yourself on smooth plastic instead of looking at it and moving it, effortlessly, in any position that would not hinder you, is the paramount of silliness.

I know. It’s still sad this is encouraged, but there is little incentive to move in the opposite direction. Better to have a lot of braindead customers I guess.

Or just, putting the cap on the side and never have it be an annoyance whether you drink from the bottle, pour it in a glass, or whatever really. People complaining about that have issues.

People that can’t use their brain should not be our baseline for making stuff.

Ah, change.org. I remember when they said “you can sign a petition without an account, just a mail validation”, immediately followed by “if you don’t create an account, the validation link in the mail will not work, fuck you”.

Guess they didn’t really want people to engage.

They didn’t even do that here, they just flat out blacklisted old CPU in the installer.

Out of curiosity, what GPU do you have that is not decently supported? Both the latest AMD and NVidia stuff is, at least for the general public stuff.

Standard authenticator (software or hardware) are, well, standard. You can pick anything compliant and use it with any compliant service. Requiring a specific app means that you have to install yet another app, which may or may not be well made, and may or may not snoop on you, and usually will only work with one service, assuming you have a compatible device to run it to begin with.

It’s more than an inconvenience; not insurmountable, but way more work than just having a standard thing that works perfectly well and is based on known and proven algorithms.

The yubikey can perform a hmac using a secret (supposedly) only available to the key’s internals. This is used in addition to the password, so that knowledge of the password without the key, or the key without knowledge of the password, can’t be used to decrypt the database. It’s kind of a half second factor (I know it’s not technically correct to call it that, but I hope you get the idea).

It’s also in their doc (that they use challenge/response): https://keepassxc.org/docs/ and is even featured on yubico’s website, which is somewhat weird but why not: https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/keepassxc/#tech-specs

The issue GP had is probably that the keepass app does not support it on Android.

Empty threats of legal actions really paint you in a good light.

Not enough PS5 to balance the cost.

It’s been normalised for years, maybe decade. The only difference is that now they have to bother with telling you and asking for permission (which some still ignore completely).

Also, since we’re talking Outlook, some mail client send your credentials to their servers to improve your user experience by fetching mails on their end, meaning that not only data from your device are sent to whoever paid for them, but your actual mails are free for them to access without you ever knowing. The new outlook on desktop does that, but outlook is not the only one to do this.

We live in the greatest of times.
