> Firefox only recently gained an option to put tabs on the side

regained. And I don't think it was a long break at all. tree organization for those side tabs, now that took a lot of time to regain, after they ripped API used by TreeStyleTabs extension.


If they indeed adopted Tree Style Tab, that is, allowed tabs to form a tree, that would be wonderful. Alas, I sill have to run TST and hide native tabs.


I searched the gsmarena and it only lists 3 modern phones:

- Sony Xperia 10 VI

- Sharp Aquos sense8

- Ulefone Armor Mini

With the last one being the only one that is actually small, the former are just "not that big".


> that we should lower the speed limit until there are 0 deaths from vehicle accidents

We totally should. I mean it isn't even controversial idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_Zero . If we start with "all traffic related deaths are excessive" then trying to get rid of them in any way possible is only natural. Shame that 2nd amendment fans will be against any requirements for gun owners, event if they are similar to European commercial drivers tests.

Psychological test before buying a gun? What a heresy.


You've missed the parent's point. Society routinely accepts some level of risk, even when it leads to deaths, in exchange for other values. For example, dogs kill about 43 people annually in the U.S., yet we still allow them as pets. Electricity causes over 1,000 deaths a year, yet we don’t ban it. Kirk's position was simply that gun deaths are an acceptable price for the right to own guns - a fairly mainstream view in the US.


What do we get out of guns that would justify all those deaths, exactly?


You can keep poor people in more desperate circumstances, and fantasise about how you and your militia will resist a tyrannical federal government and restore the country.


Hunting, entertainment, tyranny prevention and respect of the constitution.


> tyranny prevention and respect of the constitution.

Haha, sure. One, the tyrannical government is taking roots day by day and no one does shit. Two, even in this fantasy world where half the people wasn't on board with the destruction of our democracy, if the people as a whole were to take arms, they'd be going after a professional army whose budget is many orders of magnitude higher than this citizens militia's.


> they'd be going after a professional army whose budget is many orders of magnitude higher than this citizens militia's

History shows that an underfunded militia can still tie down or even outlast the U.S. military in a guerrilla context - Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq are all examples.


The sheer volume is the issue. Recent XZ backdoor shows it can happen to everyone. I am pretty sure JS has most packages, updates and contributors - and it makes it the best ecosystem to target. That anemic standard library doesn't help of course, but 2FA and package signing is required for all package repositories, here and now.


> Websites are willing to host and organise a vast number of content because that'll attract an audience for ads.

That hasn't been true for decades. In a way the race to bottom has already finished, we are at "100% clickbait" stage. I checked it very carefully and both Android build in "news" page and Microsoft's equivalent in Win11 Weather&News Widget are just that.


Sometimes the answer really is: it is a monopoly and it doesn't matter what they do.

They have all the eyeballs. All creators that got fucked over YT stay on the platform if their accounts are restored. And who can blame them, where are they going to go, Vimeo?


Sadly many restaurants already make same assumptions with QR code menu replacements. And the worst thing is they keep them despite everybody hating them.


It isn't just code, all AI models need to train on equivalent of low-background radiation steel, before the nuke was detonated(or ChatGPT was released to public).


Poland issued similar ban with 16mg/100ml as limit - matching coffee and Cola/Pepsi. Most energy drinks on market were at 32mg/100ml level, with few uncommon ones at 40mg/100ml.


Well parents were talking about sugar rush for decades, while no research supports existence of such effect (hyperactivity) in children.
