Mass surveillance promotes the Single Point of Failure that is totalitarianism.

Don't be satisfied with your vision for the future. Be satisfied with completing it.
So, don't be happy with saying "I'm going to do this project"; that's just a plan and an intention. If you're satisfied just with "someday I will" then you won't do it.

Just a heads-up, my college has some restrictions on what I can say here :) it probably wouldn't've been an issue anyway, I don't really want to dig at an organization while I'm a member of it, but it is worth noting, as a believer in free speech....

"Too often we attack cultural challenges with a spirit of misplaced certainty. We feel like we know what’s wrong, and we know how to fix it, and when we know we’re right, opposition is frustrating at best and infuriating at worst. The more certain we are, the more likely we are to view opponents not just as wrong, but evil. Do they not want to solve our crises?" - David French

Remember that by far, most people aren't out with the intent to destroy good.

I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but now is really not the time to be assholes to other people. And no, your hot take on who screwed up or what went wrong is probably not helping in any way.

I feel like every time I get this suddenly upset at a good or service, it ends up being an overreaction

Thanks to @arraybolt3 I was able to fix the issue. Honestly I overreacted when the website I was using was able to change my settings and bookmarks, it shouldn't be able to do that without a good prompt from the browser and outside of the website view....
Also Firefox Sync didn't *replace* my bookmarks anyway, but *merged*.

That said, my settings are still messed up, but thankfully my carefully created site cookie whitelist wasn't deleted from. So there's that!

Does anyone know how I can get my bookmarks and settings back? I didn't tell it to sync, I just signed in to a Mozilla website and Firefox just decided to overwrite everything 😡😡

Ugh, I signed in to a Mozilla website and it just deleted all my bookmarks and settings from my browser! I hate this so much.

This shader shows the extent of your fovea on your visual field:

"Look at any specific point and you should clearly see the extent of your fovea (the stars only seem to be rotating in a small circle at the center of your vision). Move your head back and forth to see it grow/shrink. Works better in full screen mode."

What it I fused two different Smash characters into one?

I used a random number generator and the list of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and I got these results:

If you call your political opponents vermin, you are dehumanizing people who bear the image of God.

If you call your political opponents garbage, you are dehumanizing people who bear the image of God.

To disagree with a position and make an argument is good and wise and helpful. To dehumanize and mock does not follow the way of love.

So, thoughts on the new #NintendoMusic app?

After watching a bunch of YouTube vehicle hit-and-run videos, I'm beginning to like the idea of front license plates being mandatory, because of how many times they break off and get left behind 😆
