At least Google is adhering to its own policies this time.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Google Messages automatically blocks most political spam now. I've only gotten a few that slipped through in the past few months.

It'd be cool if Mozilla could just stick with one thing for more than a couple months. Even if that thing is terrible. Right now it's like some physical embodiment of ADHD is running the company.

Not to defend the mega corporation, but companies file patents for ridiculous things all the time that never end up actually being made or used.

Honestly this is pretty funny. As long as they didn't remove the dog version of crack from these, 25% off sounds good too.

A lot of these scam operations are effectively staffed by slaves.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS to break the dominance of Western mobile platforms in China in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The last time I looked into HarmonyOS, it was an intentionally vague umbrella name for a family of operating systems and kernels. On phones and tablets, HarmonyOS was a fork of Android 10 (this was when 13 was new). On embedded devices, it was a Linux kernel fork. There were supposedly some unifying features and APIs between them, but the documentation felt very much like Huawei didn't actually want you to know what HarmonyOS is.

Threads is owned by Facebook, a company notorious for interacting with the web in bad faith.

I ordered a BLT with onion (sh.itjust.works)

I took the onion off and made some garlic bread with the loaf so things turned out okay.

I was looking forward to the BLT though.

Edit: I ordered delivery through GrubHub, so I couldn't see them making the sandwich. I thought it seemed a little light when I took it out of the bag, but the BLTs I've gotten before have always felt light, so I didn't realize.

Also this is c/mildlyinfuriating. It wasn't a huge deal, and GrubHub refunded me for the item, but it was mildly infuriating since I wanted a BLT and someone misunderstood my order.
