Yes, they’re going to die sooner anyway. Forced retirement at 60 for politicians would be perfect.

Well if we want to get technical its roots are in the Indo-European which comes from the Iranian plateau

I think being a priest lets you be among children for a long time, without their parents present. So I think it’s very tempting for a pedophile to go down that career.

Finally! Good news. One less thing to remove every time I install Firefox.

Finally! I couldn’t wait for Pocket to shut down. One useless icon less in my Firefox.

Yeah, me too. I hate that useless Pocket icon in the toolbar. It’s the first thing I disable on every Firefox installation.

Glad it’s gone for good.

Your temperature scale is clearly from a northern country :P

• 22-26 is pleasant in Italy
• 26-30 is warmish
• 30-35 is warm
• 36+ sweating just waking around

Or even the Canadian flag, to make it even more fun for the US people lol

That’s for another reason we clearly know

It makes a bit of sense because Duolingo teaches you the American variety of English and Brazilian.

But still… why?!

I usually use UK English to have a sane date formatting (the US format is completely retarded), but you have a good idea. I’ll use Ireland from now on.

See? This is why we shouldn’t use flags to represent languages.

Go to Brazil, and I bet they use the Brazilian flag to represent the language they speak, not the Portuguese one.

Go to Ireland, and you’ll see they use the Irish flag to represent the English language.

In Switzerland, what flag should they use to represent Ladin?

And what about Canada? They speak two official languages.

The correct way to display languages is just their name or they ISO code. Using flags for languages is fundamentally wrong.

British English is the OG English. They should always use that flag.

Not all the world is the US. Luckily.

I don’t know which country OP is from, but it’s completely legal in many countries. Source

Good luck with that 😂

I don’t think it will ever be possible unless they rewrite huge chunks of the codebase. Many tools require only one layer to be selected.

Have you seen the average person recently? They like to be spoon-fed content in a passive way. Look at Instagram Reels or TikTok.

Mastodon is fine for geeks like us, but the average Joe would find it dead and boring. Bluesky managed to fill that hole left by Twitter.

Yeah I think “benefit company” is the most bullshit thing ever invented

People are downvoting you, but I remember going on porn websites at 9 years old and it was great. I turned out fine, and I’m glad my parents didn’t check my browser history.

You’re partially right, I’d like to add some details: websites can also check if a domain (e.g. example.com) actually exists. So if you smash random letters on your keyboard and you end up with a non-existing domain, a website will be able to stop you from using that address.

More advanced websites also check for an MX record on the domain DNS. If a domain exists but it doesn’t have an MX record, then it’s not going to be able to receive emails and may be blocked in sign up forms.

Edit: not only an MX record, but also an A record, because if no MX record is present, then the mail is sent to the A record as a fallback (even though, in all honesty, I think this is a very uncommon configuration on the modern internet).
