deadbolt··on Why does Swiss cheese have holes?
I don't believe Baby Swiss is actually a variety of Swiss (Emmental) cheese, rather than a completely different cheese. IIRC Baby Swiss was invented in America and uses a different process.

I am not familiar with Lacey Swiss so no opinion on that one.

Just what you want in a cloud provider, right?

deadbolt··on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
Good to see Microsoft returning to their roots /s
deadbolt··on VPNSecure deactivated all lifetime subscribers
This seems like an issue between the company who bought the business and the original owners.

The original owners not disclosing their lifetime users shouldn't be your problem.

The new owner should seek legal action against the other company.

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems ridiculous.

deadbolt··on Third party cookies must be removed
I feel like many people here wouldn't care if those websites simply stopped existing.
deadbolt··on Third party cookies must be removed
Do you believe that while third party cookies exist, tracking companies aren't using other fingerprinting methods?
deadbolt··on Third party cookies must be removed
Just tried this with Brave and it didn't seem to work, assuming the site working means that it can remember me in an incognito browser. I gave the site a name, and then opened it in incognito (still using brave), and it acts as if I visited the site for the first time.

What am I supposed to witness?

deadbolt··on TikTok divestment law upheld by federal appeals court
Judging by their actions vs the west’s actions, China is far better. Be serious.
deadbolt··on Make Firefox Private Again
"Concerned about your privacy? Don't worry, just pipe this code right to your shell"

:\

Setting the flag in about:config is simple enough, I don't understand why anyone would do anything else. Who's seeing this page who is also unable to make an about:config change?

deadbolt··on Why do people believe true things?
That doesn't track at all, as it completely ignores the fact people can work together to raise their wealth.
deadbolt··on What Happened to Ancient Megafauna?
> The most devastating blow for the buffalo, wolves, bears, etc was habitat loss.

Wasn't the most devastating blow to Buffalo the campaign by settlers to slaughter them, since they were important to the native Americans?

deadbolt··on What Was Chevron Deference? (2023)
> Poisoning the air, water, and customers is bad for business.

Since when?

> what has changed since 2020 and 2021, exactly

For starters, the virus itself has changed.

deadbolt··on The African workers driving the AI revolution, for about a dollar an hour
Yeah there's no way to improve these people's lives without subjecting them to hours and hours of watching the worst content imaginable /s
deadbolt··on WHO confirms first fatal human case of bird flu A(H5N2)
I'm wondering how they could have contracted bird flu while being bedridden for three weeks...

If only we knew why consumer demand changed to gravitate toward SUVs...
deadbolt··on Googles AI overview recommends eating a small rock each day
"Cracked Tooth Syndrome" lol

I wonder who signed off on moving this shit into production, and just how many promotions they've already received.

deadbolt··on Alacritty – A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
Do you know the dev, or is there a waitlist somewhere where I could possibly get access to try it out? I couldn't locate one on their site.
deadbolt··on Russia's glide bombs devastating Ukraine's cities on the cheap
Which 'lefties' in congress have been holding up additional aid to Ukraine?
deadbolt··on 'I'm the new Oppenheimer ': Palantir's first-ever AI warfare conference
> He said they’d have a hard time on the job market and described their views as a “pagan religion infecting our universities” and “an infection inside of our society”.

Really sounds like something right out of the mouth of a certain dead fascist

What's stopping anyone from doing illegal activities?
deadbolt··on House votes to ban TikTok in the U.S. if it's not sold
It's so fucking awesome how when people actually reach out to Congress, asking them to not do something, Congress responds with "How dare you tell me how to do my job!", and does the opposite of what was requested. You can really feel the democracy at work.

I'm sure they were real annoyed receiving phone calls from normal people instead of just businesses trying to set up meetings for ~~bribes~~ campaign donations.

deadbolt··on Reddit: Return of the Junk Stock IPO
Weird to use removing the "watchpeopledie" subreddit as an example of ways it's changed for the worse.

I agree that the new UI is terrible though.

deadbolt··on TikTok users bombard Congressional offices over bill that could ban app
That's an absolutely absurd definition of "emotional manipulation"

It's pretty consistent if you don't believe a fetus is a child.
deadbolt··on The Average American Spends $3.3M over Their Lifetime
I don't know what "Chinese threads" you're referencing, but I would have the same response to that scenario: It's off-topic, and doesn't belong.

Nice quip though.

deadbolt··on The Average American Spends $3.3M over Their Lifetime
What are you doing here? This post is about American spending.

Every single post of yours is about China. We get it, you don't like China. Stop polluting threads with offtopic garbage.

deadbolt··on Google search drops cache link from search results
At this point is seems like they're just trying to make search worse.

> As techies, we're best suited to tackle some of the evidence around tech, like what was the tech, how does it work, how was it represented, how was it used, what did it do, etc.

Go ahead then...
