On GrapheneOS, I have one banking app that works, and one that doesn't because of the linked issue.

Hilariously the message in the app says I can't be signed in because it's detected the phone is "jailbroken/rooted" and I "can still use our mobile site". The phone is not jailbroken or rooted, and using the mobile site on the same "untrustworthy" device is just as risky...


That's not the same as consenting to Facebook using their data for whatever Facebook wants.


Anyone who clicks agree without reading and carefully interpreting every word of the terms of service is in fact consenting to almost anything. Almost anything you can think of could be there and you don't care.

I mean even things which are not actually written in the TOS. If you don't know what's in the agreement, you're agreeing to almost anything in principle.

The number of Facebook users who have actually read all the legal crap probably wouldn't fill a small lecture hall.


In the UK, the presumption was actually that a machine is operating correctly, which was then reversed in law in 1984 but that was then repealed in 1999. Source: https://davidallengreen.com/2023/09/computer-says-guilty-an-...


Yeah, I think some headsets issue Play when connecting. I had a frustrating moment yesterday on a Macbook:

- I was connected to a video call with Bluetooth headphones.

- It turns out the headphones were also connected to my phone at the same time, because it started ringing via the headphones and I couldn't hear anything on the video call.

- I rejected the call.

- The headphones attempted to resume what I was doing by sending the Play command to the Macbook.

- iTunes then opened covering up my video call window.

- I tried to close with CMD+W, iTunes didn't let me because I wasn't logged in and apparently the login window isn't allowed to be closed by itself.

- I manage to close the iTunes window and try to remember what I was saying on the call.

This was all due to terrible decisions by both Apple and Sennheiser imo.


I've set the following in Miniflux to stop it deleting things:

CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_READ_DAYS=-1 CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_UNREAD_DAYS=-1


Yeah, similarly I use Adguard Home and have this in my upstream config, so I'm hoping I'm safe from this: [/fritz.box/]192.168.178.1


> DMARC: Tells other mailservers what to do when the SPF and/or DKIM check fails

It's only "and" in this statement. You can't use DMARC to tell mailservers what to do when only one of them fails, as DMARC passes if at least one passes. The report will say which ones pass or not though.


FWIW I also use Fennec from F-Droid and I'm getting very slow behaviour and crashes with lots of tabs open (between 10-30). I don't have the theme change or tabs missing though.

I've been meaning to try different Firefox distributions though because switching away from Firefox isn't really an option for the reasons you've stated.


Oh that's interesting, glad I'm not the only one. Maybe I will try the Google Play version instead.


> Environmentalists have been some of the more effective lobby groups for locking in fossil fuel use through 1980-2020 when we really should have been transitioning to nuclear power.

If environmentalists are so effective, climate change would have been a higher priority over those decades. It seems likelier to me that there's other, more convincing reasons we haven't rolled out nuclear at a huge scale. For example the following are typically more convincing and applicable to nuclear as well: high costs, high political risk, fossil fuel lobbying.


...until you need to close a Finder window and you need to remember to use ⌘W because that can't be quit. Then you need to make sure to ⌘-tab past Finder because it will hang around near the top of recent apps until you've switched to enough other apps to push it to the bottom of the list.

If anyone has a way around this I'd love to hear it, but I think it's basically a side effect of apps being allowed to be open without a window and Finder always needing to run, so seems like an inherent part of the MacOS experience.


In that case, there’s ⌥⌘W which will close all windows (works in other apps too). You can also use a defaults command to add Quit to the Finder’s menu (I do this to be able to easily temporarily hide desktop icons).


Thanks! I'll give those a go next time I'm on my work machine.
