I would have never even thought of checking that. That's very surprising.

Wait, not every phone has compass hardware?

I absolutely despise it when people say "should have known better" when companies mess up. Not everyone is going to spend weeks researching obscure information before buying a phone.

I wasn't aware of her existence or that of the vampire facials, but this is some Carmilla stuff. Next they will tell you they need virgin blood.

If these are signs of being old, I was born old.

They did win because of how the electoral college works. Both Trump and Bush lost the popular vote and won the election because the system is designed in a stupid way.

Katana man and Yoru kicking Deji's balls is the funniest thing I have seen in a while.

Personally, I would never give Reddit a single penny. Their garbage CEO does plenty to get people to leave and I am sure it will keep like that.

Your phone's email app is a client, but I digress... I hate using the browser to access emails. I use many different email accounts with multiple email providers to compartmentalize my emails and avoid spam. I used Thunderbird for years before switching to Geary and now back to Thunderbird.

My first time trying to get my mother to switch from Windows to a Linux based OS wasn't successful because there was too much friction and inconvenience for her, and she wasn't willing to even entertain the idea of Linux for years after that. My second attempt was successful because Linux is much more user friendly than it used to be 13 years ago, and I changed my approach to make it as frictionless as possible.

Firefox just set to block 3rd party cookies + some basic extensions like adblocking and some easy privacy stuff is a good way to go about it, because it's better than what she used previously and it doesn't become inconvenient to her. She doesn't know what an operating system is, or what cookies are... She just uses the computer to browse the web, emails, and light office work. She even says she prefers the current setup (though that's because her old computer was chugging with Windows and runs smoothly now with a less bloated OS)

No need for noscript, deleting cookies, fingerprinting, or user agent stuff... Only introduce these to them if they express interest in privacy and are interested in learning more. If you try to thrust it upon them too suddenly they will just think "Linux isn't a good user experience and is only good for tech enthusiasts and programmers".

At this point I'd be surprised if there was a single oil billionaire who hasn't donated millions to his campaigns.

I'm so glad we have GN bringing these stories to light.
