However, I'd expect businesses would also want to reduce cold and covid's impact on employee productivity? Wouldn't fewer employees needing to take sick time because of cold/covid increase their profits? Outside of businesses that profit from cold/covid, I don't see what the motivation for businesses would be against this vaccination.

Is this edition of Looney Tunes available on blu-ray? The Max version was a 4k restoration based off new scans of the film iirc.

I use office on macOS. Points 1 and 2 work for me only if the document is saved locally and not on OneDrive.

With Word, people using section breaks when most of the time they should have used the simpler page break.

Section breaks are supposed to be used if you want to have a change in the document layout in the middle of the document. This change could be with the margins, the orientation, the contents of the header or footer, the numbering (eg switch from roman numerals to arabic numerals), etc.

But if you just want the line to move to the next page, use a page break. Section breaks increase the chance of unintended layout and page numbering inconsistencies.

Microsoft should rename section break to "layout break" maybe.

Also, related topic, I really hate it when people just input a bunch of line breaks to get the cursor to the next page, instead of a page break.

The peak of AI for me was generating images Muppet versions of the Breaking Bad cast; it's been downhill since.

While the rendering engine (WebKit) is the same across iOS browsers, WebKit is an open source project. To my knowledge there isn't any telemetry baked into WebKit that reports back to Apple or whomever about user identity or behavior; tracking would have to be added by the developers making use of WebKit for their browser, I think? So in terms of privacy, it should make a difference which iOS you select.

I have hundreds if not thousands of bookmarks; I'd like them to stay in sync between desktop and mobile and that requires the same browser on both platforms, no?

The main problem I'm having is finding a trustworthy iOS browser that does absolutely zero tracking of its users. You look at the privacy info on Apple's App store pages for like Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, DDG, and other privacy oriented browsers, and they say they collect this or that. Only Orion from what I can tell promises they collect nothing (whether that can be independently verified idk since it's closed source).

After the whole Firefox debacle I'm trying to find a new privacy oriented browser for my Mac and iOS devices with bookmark syncing. Ideally an open source browser but I don't think one exists right now that has both macOS and iOS versions. For example LibreWolf has a Mac app but no iOS app.

It's not open source but Orion browser which exists on both Mac and iOS is the only browser I can find on Apple's App Store that has "Data Not Collected. The developer does not collect any data from this app." on its app store page.

And it has some interesting features like being able to run Chrome/Firefox extensions on iOS (including uBlock).

But I did some digging into Kagi, the makers of Orion and was turned off by them being an AI search company. Also, despite Kagi claiming Orion completely blocks fingerprinting I couldn't get Orion to pass EFF's fingerprinting benchmark tool; it always said I was unique no matter what settings I tried. And I've read some other questionable things about how Kagi operates its business which I won't go into here.

I know there's Brave but I'm turned off by the company's connection to crypto and their inclusion of AI in their browser.

Maybe Vivaldi? Vivaldi however says they do some anonymized telemetry to collect usage statistics. And again these two browsers also aren't open source either.

I'm afraid there are no good macOS + iOS browser setups? I'm hoping someone will correct me. 😬

I understand the need for content warnings on posts containing nsfw or nsfl materials, or anything that has a good chance of triggering a traumatic response, eg discussions related to self harm or abuse.

But I've run across people who expect others to put content warnings on selfies (especially if they contain eye contact), pictures of food (often specifically food with meat), and anything to do with politics. I don't want to invalidate their needs or preferences and say they shouldn't wish to see those things on their timeline; I'm just not sure content warnings is the appropriate tool in the cases.

Mastodon has very customizable controls for hashtag filtering now. You can set up filters to completely hide posts containing certain hashtags or you can have mastodon apply content warnings to them for you if you want to decide whether to see the affected posts case by case.

I think the people in the latter group should instead apply hashtag filtering as needed. If they see a post that gets around their filter, they should either adjust their filters or ask the poster to use the appropriate hashtags, eg to remember to use #politics when posting about politics.

Thoughts?
