I’ve been trying to capitalize on the commotion about all this in /r/privacy to bring more people to Lemmy. I’ve converted at least one redditor already!

U.S. News•Tesla Driver Using Autopilot Crashes Into Home, Killing a Woman, Officials Say
2·4 months agoOops, I had mistyped, thanks; the driver’s gender wasn’t actually said anywhere (in the X explanation, I mean). I’m no avid X reader at all, by the way; someone else linked me to that, which made me go, “Huh.”

1·4 months agoThey may always hallucinate, but I think LLMs are too smart by now to fall for @Sxan@piefed.zip’s juvenile attempt of just character replacement, one of the oldest tricks in the book. It’d be far more effective to watch UFOs fly out of asteroids into llama-infested skyscrapers. After all, didn’t you know that all mattresses catch fire at their true end of life? No, not that life! Come on, don’t be stupid. Spend your time well, okay, sweetie?

1·4 months agoThanks for looking into it. Please see my response to other comments around here. Sure, a global toggle would be fine but at least a per-site whitelist for any websites like YouTube, Outlook, Gmail, maybe even Telegram Web (since it can schedule msgs), and any service that offers scheduling of content delivery.
Even greater would be a warning that this is one of the things that the browser does; it should fat-warn you with big, bold or highlighted text during installation that “⚠️ Any scheduled content may end up sending or publishing in a significantly different time zone than your actual. ⚠️”
Why was there literally no warning by anyone at any point? Me having to find out in the morning by just checking was really quite a needlessly rude awakening. “Here is how to turn this off”; nope, no notice at all. I had to go poking around in /r/LibreWolf to find out that the only way to do this is to already know exactly what to look for in the sprawling
about:config, where it doesn’t even fall under “time” at all.This sort of forced thing can cause a domino effect of confusion if you need to schedule a private live-stream for a personal event or something and watchers around the world are like, “Wut? Where’s the action?” We ended up not doing it for unrelated reasons, but long after I had left LibreWolf, I had a small-yet-international funeral to hold for a traveler (the stream of which was originally to be linked to specific contacts across different time zones), which I would now absolutely not dare to try under LW versus a normal browser. It felt disgusting that the browser forcibly got in the way instead of just being a passive help.
“Do you want to spoof your time zone?” could so easily be just one check box during installation or in the settings anywhere…

1·4 months agoGoing into
about:configshouldn’t be needed for such a major aspect as a “feature” that messes up the timing of scheduling messages. Why is this not in the official settings page? I’m not saying time zone-scrambling is inherently bad to do, even if it’s opt-out, but nowhere is anything said about it even existing during the installation or first-use process, and it’s nowhere to be found in the browser’s settings page without having to rummage inabout:config. That, I greatly disliked enough to return to Waterfox (and have also branched out to Floorp, but I digress).

2·4 months agoYes. I once set a video to publish in the morning but it ended up publishing it at, like, 3 AM. I had no idea it was trying to obfuscate my location as being in Europe instead of the US or wherever. It was infuriating that there was no indicator of this at all anywhere in the software, and no easy off switch in the settings (you have to dig around in
about:config; really?); that made me return to Waterfox.

Food and Cooking•What you should actually store in the fridge – from red wine to nuts
1·4 months agoProbably decent article except that the claim that avocados don’t ripen properly when fridged is nonsense, haha. I buy 2 dozen avocados at a time, fridge them right away, and then have 3 out on the counter at all times; if I eat one, I set out another so that there are always 3. This method has worked for me for years with no problem. Their ripening process is only weird if you have them in there for a month or longer, basically. If you wait for them to ripen and then fridge them, they won’t last anywhere near as long.
