@dalias @unlambda Yes, I am in a similar pickle because I'd like to power my Odroid H4 home server and I tried all of my power banks already: None of them support passthrough :/ Neither the cheap generic ones nor the nice brands. It seems like a really boutique feature, even though it wouldn't be that hard to provide I feel.

@dalias Hmmm, how would you do key exchange in a way that the website can't mess with?

@dalias Yes, and same for operating systems. OpenBSD regularly has breaking API (not just ABI!) changes, potentially requiring 3rd party software to be ported to every new release.

@dalias The other central act of christianity (the one enshrined in the name and logo of the religion) is somebody's torturous public execution.

@dalias Yup, and some power banks absolutely do charge it! I have a 100W/20V PD power bank that does the job. It can also run a pinecil at full power which is very nice.

@dalias That's part of it, but there's also the much more mundane reason that car manufacturers all know they have to overhaul their visual design language every 5-10 years for planned obsolescence reasons. It's important to them that you can tell at a glance how old a car is regardless of how well it's maintained.

And I think they ran out of sensible, non awful ways to design the exterior of a car.

@computerfact bar().foo(1.baz())

Oh no what have I done this was a terrible mistake dear god help me

@hannah Stop using CVSS language!

Instead of saying "This is a 9.8/10 severity vulnerability exploitable remotely over the network.", say
"This is a keter-class CVE, threatening an XK-class end of business scenario. MTF Rho-11 'Daemon Hunters' have been dispatched to reestablish containment".

@alcinnz @TempestDerg Yeah, DP definitely does not meet the bar for "open source", it's still proprietary just with more favorable terms than HDMI.

GitHub Actions users when they learn about GitHub Consequences

Me: I want restricted privileges for a service
Unix: Of course, just make a new user
Me: Okay Unix, I'd like to add an "nginx" user
Unix: Sure just tell me their telephone number and what room their office is in

@brion This is probably the single best argument as to why stalebotting is awful.

So grateful for this fix! I've encountered this many times and wasn't even aware it was specifically a Firefox issue.
