Now Chrome can't even remember what addresses you went to more than 90 days ago. It's such a nerfed browser.

Deezer is the same: set it and forget it once at a platform level.

> And Humble Bundle book collections are DRM free too.

Not all of them. I've had at least one bundle where you redeem it via the Kobo store for DRMed ePubs. Most I've got via Humble Bundle have been DRM-free though.

On GrapheneOS, I have one banking app that works, and one that doesn't because of the linked issue.

Hilariously the message in the app says I can't be signed in because it's detected the phone is "jailbroken/rooted" and I "can still use our mobile site". The phone is not jailbroken or rooted, and using the mobile site on the same "untrustworthy" device is just as risky...

That's not the same as consenting to Facebook using their data for whatever Facebook wants.

Yeah, I think some headsets issue Play when connecting. I had a frustrating moment yesterday on a Macbook:

- I was connected to a video call with Bluetooth headphones.

- It turns out the headphones were also connected to my phone at the same time, because it started ringing via the headphones and I couldn't hear anything on the video call.

- I rejected the call.

- The headphones attempted to resume what I was doing by sending the Play command to the Macbook.

- iTunes then opened covering up my video call window.

- I tried to close with CMD+W, iTunes didn't let me because I wasn't logged in and apparently the login window isn't allowed to be closed by itself.

- I manage to close the iTunes window and try to remember what I was saying on the call.

This was all due to terrible decisions by both Apple and Sennheiser imo.

I've set the following in Miniflux to stop it deleting things:

CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_READ_DAYS=-1 CLEANUP_ARCHIVE_UNREAD_DAYS=-1

Yeah, similarly I use Adguard Home and have this in my upstream config, so I'm hoping I'm safe from this: [/fritz.box/]192.168.178.1

> DMARC: Tells other mailservers what to do when the SPF and/or DKIM check fails

It's only "and" in this statement. You can't use DMARC to tell mailservers what to do when only one of them fails, as DMARC passes if at least one passes. The report will say which ones pass or not though.

FWIW I also use Fennec from F-Droid and I'm getting very slow behaviour and crashes with lots of tabs open (between 10-30). I don't have the theme change or tabs missing though.

I've been meaning to try different Firefox distributions though because switching away from Firefox isn't really an option for the reasons you've stated.

> Environmentalists have been some of the more effective lobby groups for locking in fossil fuel use through 1980-2020 when we really should have been transitioning to nuclear power.

If environmentalists are so effective, climate change would have been a higher priority over those decades. It seems likelier to me that there's other, more convincing reasons we haven't rolled out nuclear at a huge scale. For example the following are typically more convincing and applicable to nuclear as well: high costs, high political risk, fossil fuel lobbying.

Thanks! I'll give those a go next time I'm on my work machine.
