Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)?
  • I use PWAs for Firefox and they work ok, although I don't have the issue you mention. For me, in Ubuntu, if I open a link in a PWA for Google Chat, then the link opens in the PWA firefox window, not my main browser window. Maybe there's a setting I missed?

    Also, the PWA acts like a separate browser, so opening Google Chat requires you to log in again to Google on the same machine. And if you open up a paywalled link, and it opens in the PWA, then you have to log in, even if you're logged in in Firefox.

    Overall 5/7 rating on usability, but did allow me to get completely off of Chrome

  • Destination rule
  • Was this scene in the trailers or something ahead of another more popular movie that year? I don't think I've ever seen this movie, but the scene is still burned into my mind 20 years later.

  • Exposing The Flaw In Our Phone System - YouTube
  • I don't particularly like Linus, but he was bearable in this video. As someone who assumed this was a SIM swap, I was genuinely as confused as he was playing it up when he was able to place calls but not receive them. That was really interesting.

  • Am I allowed to share a database with copyrighted material under a non commercial share alike database license with everyone?
  • public facing is fine

    Not exactly, if it is something unintentionally public facing, that can get you charged with access a computer without authorization under the the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This happened in this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse_Security#AT&T/iPad_email_address_leak

    sending a HTTP request with a valid ICC-ID embedded inside it to the AT&T website, the website would reveal the email address associated with that ICC-ID.

    On November 20, 2012, Auernheimer was found guilty of one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization

  • She thought the US constitution was read-only
  • 2006 was only 4 years ago, right? RIGHT?

    Still though, the average age in the US is 38 so for most people, there was an amendment ratified during their lifetime.

    Speaking for me personally, I would consider anything that happened in my parents generation to be a recent collective memory, at least until I get to the age my parents were when they had me. Sure I wasn't alive during the moon landing or JFK assassination, but they're still pretty recent events in the grand scheme of US history.

  • Defend Against Tyrants
  • I think generally anything that is considered an attempted <whatever>, the judicial system takes into account the intent of the person who is being accused. If the intent was to assassinate Trump, and the person had everything they needed to do it, and would have done it if they had not been stopped, then a real attempt was made.

  • Be careful.
  • FWIW this isn't always true. A few months ago, I needed to add an email to my Zelle account on Chase, and had to call them. I initiated the call and they did issue a text message verification to the phone number in my account while on the phone to confirm.

  • Jill Stein schooled on House of Representatives in brutal "Breakfast Club" interview
  • Giving her the benefit of the doubt that she isn't a Russian agent, if she doesn't understand how the Electoral College works, then it makes sense she doesn't see herself as a spoiler and a waste of a vote. Clearly in the past 20ish years, she must have come across FiveThirtyEight and, so even a guess of 538 would be somewhat reasonable. 600 just shows lack of reasoning skills and/or knowledge of how the electoral college is made up.

  • Trump running mate J.D. Vance: Americans won't be influenced by a 'billionaire celebrity'
  • I assume that since the deadline has past for some states, Vance has to be on the ballot, even if he drops out. Trump has to carry him to term (pun intended). For example, RFK Jr. dropped out, but will still be on the ballot.

    If these terrible people are elected and do not take the oath of office, then presumably the 25th amendment takes effect, and a new VP is appointed by the president, or the VP elect ascends to President if the presidency is vacant.

    Celine Dion on Saturday bashed former President Donald Trump for using her song "My Heart Will Go On" without her permission.

    Celine Dion slams Trump campaign for ‘unauthorized usage’ of ‘Titanic’ song 'My Heart Will Go On'

    Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

    The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion (Spoilers)

    I didn't realize this was the season finale before watching and was mostly confused that was it after tonight's episode. Seems like they started more loose ends in that one episode, maybe in hope of another season, but it felt like it could have used an episode or two more to set that up better. Spoilers below:

    The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion Spoilers
    • I kept expecting the Green Jedi woman to ultimately be behind the destruction of the witches fortress. It still doesn't make sense that the stone structure could sustain so much damage from some paper burning. Maybe bad editing or something in the previous episodes, but seems like there's still a side of a story being withheld.
    • Reveal of Yoda (or yaddle before growing hair!) and who I assume is Plagueis was underwhelming. Either could have been omitted without issue. If they were going for fan service, focus on one. If it is Plagueis, does the timeline even make sense??
    • Honestly, I wish there were more episodes with the Lesbian Witch Cult which weren't all flashbacks. That conflict with the Jedi was interesting (for the two days it happened in universe) and could have explored more of that side of the force before it was killed off. I guess I'm in the minority based on the backlash that received.
    • Kung fu and lightsaber battles were pretty good. Is this the first time in live action a jedi has turned off a lightsaber mid fight? I think out of everything, the choreography was the strongest aspect of the series.

    What'd everyone else think?
