Just tried the compact tabs in Safari and that’s a great design!

It’s great at least on macOS and iOS.

Profiles on the macOS version made me switch to it from Safari as my daily driver.

That’s an overly simplistic and very rosy eyed take in my opinion.

Is that ignoring all the homeless people in the states, the people living in trailers, in their cars and so on while working multiple jobs?

A lot of people never buy a home. And to my knowledge the number of people who will never be able to afford to buy a home is only increasing.

So yes indeed, renting is not my preferred way of dealing with housing in our society, but it is the reality for a lot of people.

They have to find another solution.

But instead of that lasting forever since their situation never becomes so that they can afford to buy a nice home, which is the case for many people, they only have to deal with that for 10 years at which point they get a lot of choices for nice homes at an affordable price.

It’s the same here in Denmark.

Or simply that a diet not meeting the nutritional needs can be correlated to worse athletic performance. And since meat is dense in nutrition, and since places with less meat available sometimes is low income, I think it’s plausible.

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett.

I've heard about, and tried to get into the Discworld a few times, but it never really happened. I think I tried Guard! Guards! twice. Maybe I was in a different headspace, or maybe it was just not for me. But then I tried Small Gods, and it's the best thing I've read since (the nutrition label on the back of) sliced bread. No, really, it's lovely! I'll be done tomorrow according to my Kobos statistics, and then I just need to figure out what I'm gonna read next. Cannot wait to find out about all the things out there in the Discworld that I don't know about yet.

No, we’re worried about the precedent it sets.

> “Anti-government” is absurdly vague.

That's the point. It's not an open to the public list, it's secret and controlled by few. It can contain whatever they want it to contain.

> Not how this system works.

That's absurdly naive.

Where there is a slope, riders will come. The only way to prevent people from riding the slope is to never built the slope in the first place.

Except the list of hashes is a black box. Today it's child porn, tomorrow it's anti-government or something similar. It's a slippery slope that's only going in one direction.

If you think it's not spreading to Android phones, you are naive. Apple set the precedent, now it's gonna come to every mainstream device.

The only option is to abandon ship.

There’s the whole NSO Pegasus that answers for how regarding remotely. However social engineering is also possible. Drunk out in town makes an easy target for a skilled social engineer.

All in all - it’s very possible.
