This is a totally rational and normal comment to make.

I think this has been shared before, I’ve tried using it but it as some flaws. The font for example puts a dot on the row below the letter V, and some of the default margins are tricky to work with. But it’s a fun idea!

So you know how to refer to them to other people or in conversation. The order notes preference. So someone might use they/him, which means they prefer you use ‘they’ but if you use ‘him’ it’s okay.

> It is staggeringly unlikely that you would ever have encountered a .gb domain in the wild. The only domain which is registered, though inactive, is hmg.gb - standing for His Majesty's Government. The domain was originally created in the mid 1980s, and abandoned at some point in the 1990s. There are no active domains which use .gb and today, the government only uses .gov.uk for its domains.

Third paragraph.

I‘ve had problems with plain text emails being treated as spam, but send the same content as HTML and it’s allowed through. I’d send more plain text emails, but it would cause more problems.

Hate to break it to you my guy, but that is not ‘gender politics’, it‘s just her name and her pronouns. If you use he/him and I say she/her, that’s rude. It’s no different.

It was so good! Once they got rid of it I started moving away from Gmail because it was clear they just didn’t know what they were doing.

It doesn’t sync your entire experience. I have a completely different setup for each profile, and then I use Containers _within_ each profile. They’re not the same thing.

When I open Chrome, I can open any profile straight away from the menu. On Mac, there’s just one Chrome icon.

When I open Firefox, I have to go to a page that looks like a developer debug mode, and then open a new profile in a new Firefox instance. I now have two Firefox icons in my dock. I normally work with three profiles, so now I have three Firefox icons in my dock all called Firefox. 66.6% of the time I press the wrong one.

The problem is that Firefox has to be at least as good as Chrome to succeed. Being _almost_ as good as Chrome means people will just use Chrome.

Just need to convince all my life-long friends to move with me and this sounds like great advice!

This is borderline romantic at this point. What bank do you think would ever possibly agree to this? Most people can’t even prove to their banks that they can afford a mortgage that’s less than the rent they’re currently paying.

From what I’ve read, they couldn’t work out how to make a free play game that would work online and stop people from making giant penises.

It’s fine if you load each page as an HTTP request, but if your ‘pages’ aren’t real, re-loading everything from an API each time is a bit of a pain.

I love that you looked at this website, saw its <table> layout, saw the copyright was the year 2000, saw the images with terrible drop shadows, the freeservers icon in the top, and thought “uh, weird this isn’t https”.

Or, I go to a doctor, who is a medically trained professional, and they prescribe a medicine to me based on their experience and training, without any incentive for financial reward?

Chrome is better than Firefox for most everyday use. I use Firefox because I don’t want to use a Google browser and I like the idea of having browsers that aren’t based on Chromium, but for goodness’ sake at least make me not hate that choice. I cannot, and do not, recommend Firefox to anybody because it’s not good enough. This is not helping.

Really feel like they could have tried about 5% harder with the name. At least the brand doesn’t have to be soulless even if the place is.
