Mastodon FeedThe thing with this kind of software is that it has to work all the time. If I can't trust it, it doesn't matter that it works 90% of the time. So I guess I need something else? But it's locked down.

Mastodon Feed"Tab Unloading in Firefox 93"
Starting with Firefox 93, Firefox will monitor available system memory and, should it ever become so critically low that a crash is imminent, Firefox will respond by unloading memory-heavy but not actively used tabs. This feature is currently enabled on Windows and will be deployed later for macOS and Linux as well.

Mastodon FeedWe have a coding style rule at work about braces on conditionals being mandatory online when the block is more than one line and I can't tell you how much I hate that it is literally *line* rather than *statement*

That's how to have a default value in a dataclass, apparently.

Mastodon FeedMeanwhile on Windows, there's no easy way to set a default web browser.
But Edge can do it.
But Windows "does not support" it.
But Firefox can do it, for now, because they reverse-engineered how Edge does it.
But Windows "does not support it," because something something security.
But Edge can do it.

it's interesting that as Le Guin's last Ekumen novel, this one dealt most directly with Earth; the only one to name more than indirect references to any Earth culture. it also dealt more directly than any other with religion and capitalism, but some of the capitalism critique felt a bit heavy-handed. the parallels to China and the cultural revolution (ideograms, old writing systems replaced) were a little weird too.
but I enjoyed it; a fun read even if not at the level of The Dispossessed.

I just finished reading Ursula Le Guin's novel The Telling. still processing it since it's a lot to take in. I enjoyed it, but it's definitely not my favorite. the culture it depicted felt rich but elusive. the struggle for the oppressed stories to survive be told was compelling, but the stories themselves felt like they were right on the edge of being meaningless or insubstantial.

Mastodon FeedI should have known this would be just as bad as all other corpware.
Mastodon FeedIn Android 12 it's apparently not allowed to open "verified links" in the program of your choice.
YouTube links are "verified" (a JSON file exists on the domain) as belonging to the YouTube program, so that's that.

FYI, I just checked. If you live here in Madagascar, use internet on your phone, and are with Telma (the largest phone/internet provider), then buying 1 gigabyte of Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram access costs only *half* the price of buying 100 megabytes of general internet access.
