The issue with processed food isn’t the artificial part or the refined part, it’s the calorie dense part. Fresh fruit juice is processed sugar, vegan pizza is highly refined, and organic granola bars are still highly processed.

The calorie density makes it far too easy to over consume, and to do so regularly.

The crucifix is an implement of torture and execution, upon which the titular Christian god was executed to fulfill a blood oath. Executionists, torturers, blood magicians, nailers, death cultists, the forsaken (Psalm 22)…

Being shephered by a higher authority is also a common theme. Sheep is right there, although some actually use that directly.

Another common theme is the second arrival of their god, starting the end of the mortal realm and the death of all mortals. Death cultists again, apocalyptics, doomsdayers…

There’s lots of heinous things in their book, but most reject them or are unaware. You could call out lots of things there.

Hundreds of other things? I just said 15 things!

There’s definitely tab rot though, and coming back to an area often sees half of the tabs cleared before continuing. I can’t imagine that kind of turnover with bookmarks though, especially with how comparatively clunky removing bookmarks is.

Boockmarks don’t updated themselves either, so keeping my place in a story or post list is way harder. Tabs also maintain physical correlations, with a parent tab closing all children when closed, and staying near where you use them. Bookmarks need to be explicitly organized and updated, taking several clicks for each, instead of being organized and updated just by using them.

How often are tabs processed? Most tabs get closed before they’re a week old, some groups are reused every week --TTRPG references mostly-- currently using ~15 tabs: 5 indexes, 2 character sheets, 5 common references, and whatever weird stuff was relevant last session

Other groups are used or closed as projects are worked on: 6 tabs for Factorio calculators, ~10 tabs for exoplanet research for worldbuilding, ~20 game tutorials (these could probably be bookmarks), ~15 wikis for the various games I’ve played in the last few months (half could be bookmarks), ~10 tabs for setting up my new phone (these will be closed soon), 5 tabs I just closed because I stopped needing them, ~5 youtube series I listen to while I work, as the topic strikes me, ~15 individual videos I’ll probably watch in the next few weeks (several are 2+ hours long), ~15 music tabs of either specific songs or topics I listen to as the fancy strikes me, ~20 tabs of bugs and issues I’ve been having (which will get cleared when I resolve them or stop caring), ~20 tabs of research for a work project (15 will probably be closed immediately)(should probably not be in my personal browser), ~10 tabs of stuff I just looked up in the last couple of days and haven’t closed yet, And probably 10 aspirational tabs of stuff I’d like to get to in the future, but probably won’t (definitely won’t if they’re bookmarks).

I’ve touched ~80% in the last 3 months, and ~50% this month, although my phone has a lot more old aspirational tabs.

When it comes to a list building up, what’s the difference between old tabs and old bookmarks anyway? Neither are using any resources. A link wouldn’t be and more or less important as a bookmark than a tab.

No, some items have a dozen tabs associated, and others are recurring tasks.

I only have maybe 15 topics in my tabs, half are waiting on something else to be resolved, and a sixth are videos to be watched.

Closing all tabs is default behavior.

Tabs are part checklist. If I use bookmarks, they go out of siht, out of mind. As tabs there’s a reminder to resolve the topic.

Nope, those “answers” didn’t help even once, so now they’re filtered out of search results, and DNS banned. Quora does not appear on my devices.

An alias can be used to see who is selling your address. If you give address B to only one organization and you get spam on B, then you know B sold your address.

Not exactly the most useful information, but it’s there.

70% of the time, bloom is garbage, 25% of the time it’s garbage and is covering up other graphical issues. 5% of the time, it gives some nice depth to light and emphasizes brightness differences, even without HDR.

This exactly. I don’t speak latin and don’t want to.

It would be really nice on less powerful hardware too. One picture gallery can eat all my RAM real fast.

1mm? Dude, the scale is in the image, that’s 150μm, one tenth that size. That viola is only 50μm long.

Piracy has always been a distribution issue. There are definitely greedy lazy people who will always want more for less, but the organized effort required for piracy only happens when fair access is impossible.

True, a fully transparent system would require every voter to understand the machine and how the systems prevent tampering.

At the same time, I don’t think even a majority of voters know how the voting process works in the U.S. and Canada today, simply trusting that such a process exists. I’d argue that many of the processes aren’t even fair, with gerrymandering and spoiler effects being common. Large numbers of people even believe that mail-in votes are simply a tool for fraud.

So yes, ideally everyone would fully understand every step of every system of the voting process, but a working system is possible without that. If a more opaque system could increase verifiability and/or allow faster easier voting, it might be worth it. Of course currently existing voting machines do neither, and massively increase opacity at every level, so they’re quite terrible, but I don’t think they need to be perfect to be useful.

Boost is fantastic for keeping my place. I just don’t have to worry about switching to the web to look something up, or even just to do some math. Even if the app gets killed in the background, you’ll be returned to where you were. It’s great, I wish every app could have such a good memory.

That’s just human s though. The only way to fix that is force everyone and everything onto All.

Theoretically, a voting machine could be open source, tracable, verifiable, and well regulated.

In practice, all your currently existing industries can only make black boxes that even the makers can’t guarantee the workings of.

I agree that the vast majority of ads are manipulative, but are there not legitimate uses in notification? Like posters annoucing an event, requests for scientific trials, or even lost posters.

Sadly, google cats aren’t part of the cat distribution system.

This is also data from an opt-in survey of only one kind of user. The real number of Linux users is probably somewhat higher due to the higher level of privacy conscientiousness in the community.
