  • These are a bit unique from the lists everyone else has, I think:

    • Lemmy Keyboard Navigation (like the kbd shortcuts from RES)
    • Google Popup Blocker (stop the annoying log in with Google popups everywhere on the web)
    • OneTab (this one lets you collapse a whole window of tabs down into a list in the OneTab tab that you can later reexpand into a window again when you re-attack whatever subject all the tabs were about)

    These are the more standard ones that everyone seems to run:

    • UBlock Origin
    • Reddit Enhancement Suite
    • 2FAS Extension
    • BitWarden


  • I hope like hell the sets of questions were randomized, because if they weren’t, they were tweaked by the surveyors beforehand to try and force a particular result.

    Like the AI question was paired with some incredibly crappy options like “A browser that runs 2x slower than your current browser”. Obviously they want you to click that option as least wanted and leave the AI development alone (if that wasn’t a randomized grouping).

    Similarly, it looked like they were trying to decide which feature to sacrifice in support of AI dev in later questions, because all 3 would be things I enjoy much more than AI, but I have to rate one as least wanted.

    EDIT: OK, thanks for all the responses everyone! Looks like my pairing of AI and 2x slower was just a bad random selection inducing extreme paranoia on my part. Very happy to hear that.


  • Let’s put it this way, as long as Trump doesn’t win, I’m fine with the result. But given that the only viable candidate right now is Biden, or possibly Kamala Harris, who is already on the ticket anyway, I’ll be voting Biden simply to insure that Trump doesn’t win.

    And if you think there isn’t that much difference between the two, read some summaries of what Trump plans to do via Project 2025.



  • All the people in here complaining they don’t like their choices. Holy fuck, those are the choices. You don’t get to change them in under half a year from the election, lol. We’ve already had the primaries. We have two old candidates. One is old and has been running the country successfully for nearing 4 years. One is a convicted felon with convictions ranging from fraud to sexual assault. Both have age-related health issues, but only one is promising to try and bring about the end of democracy in this country via Project 2025 if elected.

    If you want to change your choices next time, support some form of ranked voting in your state next time so that you can vote for the wild progressive candidate, but also rank the one you think is likely to win under that.

    Can’t answer to Tor—haven’t even tried it in years, but I know on Windows, Firefox totally ignores the whole “reopen tabs on restart” pref if you close the last window via the red X in the corner. You have to use control-shift-Q or show menus and select File->Quit if you’re going to quit it in a way it understands as requesting you to reopen the tabs again next launch.


  • Putin’s chaos unit is outdoing themselves this election. And apparently the NYT are playing on Putin’s team this time too.

    The Republicans can get together behind a convicted rapist and fraudster with his own dementia and age issues, because they are capable of voting as a fucking block. As Democrats, we have to be able to do that too by ALL showing up at the polls and voting Biden. It’s not rocket science! At 55% voter turnout, Trump wins. At 60%, Biden wins, but barely. At 65% voter turn out, he wins by a wide margin. FFS, just show up and vote.

    The man has been running the country successfully for 3.5 years so far and worst case, Kamela takes over mid-season. And since she’s the only candidate that could access the election fund and she’s already on the ticket, what even is the point of these idiots trying to change horses mid-stream because they can’t see the big picture and stick with a plan? Argh, this makes me so mad…
