Eh, they have about as much power over that as they do any other privacy breaches. It being DNA doesn't make a huge difference

They don't own the DNA itself, but they do own the rights to the resulting sequence. It's akin to a biography--you don't own the person's life, but the author put it down on paper and owns the rights to the book.

Multiple companies sequencing the same DNA don't end up in copyright spats because the DNA itself isn't copyrightable.

People are "whining" about an out of control tipping culture. Doesn't matter if you like the service or not, tips are fucking ridiculous right now.

I know how to cook, but sometimes I don't want to cook. I don't see why this is such a hard concept to grasp, and I don't know why everyone is so hostile towards people who choose to spend their money on this

It occurs to them, but sometimes you just don't want to.

Yeah but if it gets lost, they have to replace it, and if they leave it in a terrible place that's ripe for theft I can claim I never received it. Stealing from multi-billion dollar corporations is always morally correct. Plus, I get free shit out of it and they stop doing that pretty quickly :)

... They mean that you're supporting free speech by disabling and block and supporting them

The redirect thing is definitely just Firefox being weird. It's generally a basic redirect that triggers a return-to-app, and Firefox isn't following the redirect properly

Bewarned that the mobile Firefox app is really not great.

  • I am a chronic tab-user (I have more than a hundred open right now. Yes I'm using pretty much all of them.) and 70% of the time when hitting the tab button it doesn't actually scroll to the most recent tab. I have to tap it repeatedly to get to where I was.
  • The tab list is horribly wasteful when it comes to space and I see no way to change it.
  • Some sites also shit the bed completely when auto-filling from my password manager. Like full on freeze the browser or crash it entirely.
  • When an app opens Firefox in an embedded browser to get you to log in, it will pretty much never direct you back to the app after putting your information in. You have to tap the three dots and open it in the actual app for even a chance that it will properly redirect you.
  • For 2fa sometimes this doesn't even work. I have to scan my 2fa key then quickly open it in the actual app through the menu before it finishes loading, otherwise it doesn't redirect or gets stuck in a login loop. Fun.

The browser is fine overall, don't get me wrong, there's just some inconveniences that aren't getting fixed.

Gen z is notoriously tech illiterate for anything but the bare minimum. The amount that have never touched a PC or anything other than an iPhone is incredibly disturbing.
