downvote the 3rd post about the same

Isn't the problem with this that there are different communities which might have valid reasons to post very similar things, and the order they're displayed to you may result in you downvoting the original?

It wants to run cross-site scripts on more than 20 other domains.

Anyone know why LibreWolf isn't in Debian repos? I know there's a Flatpak, but I don't know if it can be trusted since mintinstall says it's by an "Unknown maintainer".

And why isn't it extensions?

Who exactly do they think are the 2-4% of people who use Firefox? How big is the intersection of Firefox users, and users who want to use LLMs but don't want to gargle Microsoft AI or Gemini integrated Chrome?

Firefox +uBlock Origin works on old Androids. I'm not sure about new versions, iOS, or other phone OSes tho.

I don't think I could go back to using browsers with ads, or videos with sponsors.

"Some countries have adopted a six-day workweek and one-day weekend (6×1), which can be

  • Friday only (in Djibouti, Iran, Somaliland and Libya),
  • Saturday only (in Nepal), or
  • Sunday only (in Mexico, Colombia, Uganda, Eritrea, India, Philippines, and Equatorial Guinea)."

I think "mama", "papa", and "baba" are also some of the easiest things for human babies to say.

Why have photos of these people on walls in offices in the 1st place? I can understand photos of family members on your desk if you have a desk that's too big.

In 2024 the SCOTUS, in a 6-3 majority, said the president has immunity for his official acts as president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States

Be sure to vote for the lesser evil, because always voting for evil is a really good idea.

preemptive war

OK - reacting-only would reduce wars of aggression.

How about if 98% of UN members votes for an allied attack against something that almost everyone agrees is psychotic, like ISIS, NK, Eritrea, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, etc.? Does the combination of actions and clear intent not make pre-emptive war and regime change of these seem like the right thing?

Ahmed Yassin

Here I don't agree - I think the 1988 Hamas charter is utterly indefensible.

these type of groups form as a direct result of imperial violence.

Yes, and Israel was formed in response to the Holocaust and pogroms. Hamas is also genocidal, just incompetent - but would be worse. I think both should be boycotted and sanctioned, until Israeli voters stop voting the way they have been (which might not happen until they reject religion and racism), and Gazans overthrow Hamas (which seems more possible than in e.g. NK).

nuclear weapons

not offensive, but defensive

Yeah, allowing Iran to get/create nukes and intercontinental delivery, would reduce the chances of attacks against it like the recent ones by USA and Israel, which would be good for the normal people of Iran in the short and medium term.

When it comes to the people (not the regimes) I think that the Israeli, older Gazan, and USA citizens are the worst because of the way they vote(d); while the Iranians might be the least bad (tho that may just be because they haven't had real elections for so long).

How can I find a list of the Lemmy posts I've saved in my browser?

Saving posts are done by clicking on the star icon. Once saved the icon becomes orange.

Can't find them on my Profile page, or via the Search page, and searches seem to only answer it for apps.
