There’s been a fucking Cybertruck parked in front of my house for five days. So annoying.

@sparrowsion like others I never used tap to pay for security reasons, so I don't miss having it.
Next: figure out if I can hide an entire thread of comments started by a blocked person. I can already hide their comments, I want to hide replies too.
Yes, some replies can be positive - and in the Zig thread, most were, and I hit the upvote button plenty of times -, I don't need to read them. I'd rather stay out of that entire part of the discussion, even if that means missing some good comments, even if that means not upvoting things that'd deserve upvoting.
lobste.rs##.comment:has(a[href="/~$username"]) + .comments .comment .comment_text:remove()
There we go. Ideally, I'd replace the text of the comment_text node, but I've yet to figure out how to do that.

Aaaactually, something might be coming… 👀
I am part of a community-driven consortium that applied to the DATA-02 Horizon grant, proposing a 3-year plan to foster the development of Linux-based Local-First mobile OS.
In December We will know if we will get selected. Fingers crossed.

Papers, please!
Digital ID age checks have taken another lunge forward. UK MPs have agreed to new powers to expand age verification across online platforms.
More and more everyday web services will be locked behind digital checkpoints, despite the serious privacy and security risks of this system.

Five Good Books about Mental Illness. As a parent and caregiver for an adult living with a serious psychiatric illness, I have read a lot about the subject. Here are my five favorite books about psychiatric illness.
An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness (1996) by Kay Redfield Jamison, PhD. The best memoir about living with a serious mental illness and the best book overall that I have read about mental illness, in this case bipolar disorder. Fine literature written by a brilliant author who earned a PhD in psychology and has been awarded about a dozen honorary doctorates. It is inspirational.
The Mad Among Us: A History of the Care of America’s Mentally Ill (1995) by Gerald Grob, PhD. The author was a medical historian who wrote this balanced and objective book about the history of psychiatry. It includes the good and the bad. Despite the unfortunate title, this is a great non-fiction book about the history of psychiatry in the USA.
We’ve Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication (2010) by Judith Warner. This book, written by a journalist, was originally intended to be a critique of psychiatry and the parents of children with mental illnesses. But as the author met families and did her research, she changed her mind and wrote a balanced book about parents trying to help their children. As the author points out, we parents are not eager to put our children on psychiatric medications; in fact the opposite is true.
Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of An American Family (2020) by Robert Kolker. This biography was written by a journalist about the lives of a large family with twelve children, six of whom were eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia. It is intense and disturbing, as is living with schizophrenia. It is not an encouraging or feel-good book.
Innate: How the Wiring of Our Brains Shapes Who We Are (2018) by Kevin Mitchell, PhD. This book by a neuroscientist is more broadly about neuroscience, rather than specifically about mental illness. But the author addresses serious mental illness and the state of our knowledge about possible underlying causes of it as a developmental disorder. This book focuses on modern scientific evidence, rather than assumptions and the blame game often associated with attitudes about mental illnesses.

@rolle @brave @Vivaldi fwiw, I don't have this issues because there is *almost* no alternative. For me (with emphasis on that last part: "me") Firefox is the only viable. Or even some radicaler unbloated Firefox versions (as @librewolf)
As frontend dev, of course I do test my work on safari, chrome and firefox. And that is it: testing.
Brave and Ladybird are (again: for me) dead projects. The first is lead by a homophobic conservative intolerant cryptobro and the other by a fascist.
@f_spin Every other tool we use has someone with questionable backgrounds, but I don't choose my tech based on that.
@Catwoman69y2k I've gone down the "most private browser" rabbit hole in the past, and I won't do that again. I've come to the conclusion that all browsers fucking suck.

When it's not being a television with an unusually awkward user interface, the Samsung Frame is sold as a display with a low-power mode that's optimised for art. Imagine buying one and discovering they want to sell you a subscription for freely available art! 😡

@campuscodi I suspect this is in preparation for selling the domain to an AI platform.
