I do appreciate that inkjets are relatively simple in principle (just spray ink onto paper) and don’t produce anything toxic, for what it’s worth. I just wish they worked better (and more affordably) than they do.
I’ve never used an ink-tank printer, but I’ve read that they have “pads” that wear out, and some ink-tank printers require you to throw away the entire printer when that happens. Doesn’t sound too great.
Also, inkjets suffer a lot of clogging, smearing, and other such problems stemming from the use of liquid ink. These problems go away (temporarily, at least) when you replace the ink cartridge, but how do you solve them when there’s no ink cartridge and the print head is part of the printer?

You need to fetch the HTML of the web page you want the icon for and see if there’s a <link rel=icon> or equivalent HTTP header.
And yes, this means different pages on the same site can have different icons.

Right now, I have to cover my PIN-entering hand with my other hand, and then do a whole bunch of fake button presses, in order to hopefully confuse any hidden cameras. Hopefully. Maybe. It’s absolutely maddening, and it probably isn’t actually secure because real button presses require more force than fake ones.
If only the keypad was randomized like this, entering my #PIN securely would be easy. 😭

So, the people you have in mind don’t believe in free will? Isn’t that kind of un-Christian?
And if they believe that humans don’t have free will, then what’s the point of all the “SINNERS!” and punishment and threats of hell and whatnot? None of us are in meaningful control of our actions, so trying to coerce us to change those actions obviously isn’t going to work.
Also, if we’re all inherently evil, then we’re all going to hell regardless, so this whole religion is kinda pointless, no?
Can’t confirm. When I was young and hanging out in online chat rooms, I regarded the others as real and experienced a full range of emotions toward them. They were my acquaintances, friends, crushes, or enemies. Definitely didn’t see them as NPCs. If I had, I would never have had such strong feelings about any of them.
But that’s just me. Others’ mileage may vary.

Mozilla is not supposed to be doing any of that!

“Why this had to happen”? Well, that’s certainly ominous and gaslight-y. Will #Mozilla next be asserting the right to scrape and sell the contents of our emails as well?

Soaks up ink? I’m confused. How does ink end up somewhere other than the paper being printed on?
