I just began to get an idea... but someone already took johnmastodon.org/ 😩

I made a simple tool to automate this ;)

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."

(Little experiment I did back in 2021) #smash #ssbu #nintendo #fanart #smashbros

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 😆

Lots of Windows users will find themselves in an unsupported state in October 2025. There needs to be a Linux distribution that really helps Windows users switch.

It needs to discover the username of the primary user from the registry or file system. It needs to install on ntfs (or alongside it). It needs to discover the profiles and bookmarks and cookies and stored passwords of local browsers. It needs to port over the Steam library. It needs to discover the SSIDs for local networks and join them automatically. It needs to discern what the user believes he already needs from his existing Windows install and insert free equivalents.

The current advice of "erase everything and start over" is impractical for the majority of computer users, especially those who don't have a second computer.

The delta is too big for normal folk, not because Linux is hard to use but because computers are hard to use.

I'm picturing something that generates a KDE Plasma panel that imitates the Windows Taskbar, down to where the various pinned items were. Or the Cinnamon equivalent I guess. Most people don't care what OS they run; they just want as little to change as possible.

Unironically loving the granularity of setting in the #Ubuntu 's reimagining of Windows UAC. All the more reasons to prefer #snap over legacy .deb packages.
