It still does it. The only thing is that the awareness of this feature was spread in a way to make it sound like it was just stealing your internet for nothing (which looking at it one way, it was) so most people just turned it off.

I was kinda expecting that sooner or later. Although it seems that it is only the basic interaction metadata - device info, crash logs, etc.

I honestly like the redesign. Now, if only they actually let that search pill stay when search results come up; like iOS…

I think this is the one that installs extra… “Firefoxes” for each to run as their own browser and open the site you set as their homepage.

Honestly I wish it could be better, but this is some pretty amazing thing to code out, so I appreciate it.

Why did people stop using notepads (actual physical ones) for this? No digital storage, no leaks. Besides, after a couple of times you get the muscle memory of typing in the passwords anyway.

I saw some streamer playing and legit thought “That’s CSGO with Valorant saturation on”

Am I just too ignorant or did they really make everything boosted saturation?

“On Twitter—which is now called “X” for some reason—algorithmically-boosted blue-check users…”

Words so mesmerising I turned off my adblock

It’s absurd, yes, but nothing new. Many of the kids at my own school are leaning to the far right, without ever stopping and wondering if it even profits them. All they see are a couple of Instagram reels and hear “global leader” and “country’s decade” and decide they’ll follow the government blindly even if the most harm will be done to them. Worshipping your political idols is a way of life, and anyone who doesn’t see the very same line as yours is an anti-nationalist. You might have guessed by now, alas, I speak of India.

Not so much a rule, but a new restriction. So, in my school, 8th grade classrooms were directly above the floor where 6th grade classrooms were. The classrooms on the upper floor were connected by what were essentially just concrete bridges. You could just jump from the upper floor corridors to the ground floor and skip the crowded stairs, but teachers were always on the watch. I guess they cheaped out.

So back when I was in 6th grade, I used to get bullied a lot. Like, the whole time. One day, I was in a particularly bad mood, as I was returning to my room just after the recess bell rang, from the upper floor to the ground floor. A kid decided it was a nice idea to grab my books and throw them down to one of his friends, where he could run away with it. The stairs were too overcrowded usually at this time, the complete recess could be over and you’d be stuck halfway.

So the guy ran up to me from behind, grabbed my books and threw them below, where his friend caught it as expected. Me being in a fuck-all bad mood, I just jumped straight down from the corridors, and much to the bewilderment of the guy below, caught him in just a second. Teachers went wild on me for that. I was called to the principal’s office, threatened suspension, yada yada, but they didn’t do anything in the end because I was good at studies - the whole reason for me being bullied.

Over the weekend, they removed the tiny railings and installed complete floor to roof bars to prevent anyone from dropping below. So yeah, I kind of changed a rule, depends on how you view it.
