Strange. I don’t use it, but I didn’t go out of my way to add it as an option.

Wild. I’ve messed with about:config a bit, but not for this purpose.

It being phased out doesn’t change the fact that I can see it on 131.0.3.

Do you not see Compact as an option?

The Fraternal Order of Police would like a word.

When I was in my 20s, the only people I met who were at least somewhat well-adjusted were those who had either worked through college or participated in something like the Peace Corps. Big big fan of mandatory civil service, especially as an option for those who don’t know what they want to do with their lives yet.

I am absolutely in favor of some sort of civil service or CCC-revival in the US. I’m so fucking tired of how anti-social and disrespectful of others Americans are, and it seems like Covid has only accelerated that.

Honestly, being willing to jump to a new platform is possibly the most effective way to stop platforms from fucking you over too hard.

And most importantly - there isn’t millions of dollars spent to market it to people. You have to go out of your way to learn about Mastodon or federation in general, and as you say, their reputations precede them.

That was fucking insane. I remember being dumbfounded to learn that the clearance agency had fired all of the investigators from that contractor, only for a new contractor to rehire them all and win the contract to process clearances again. Horrorshow.

In my experience, if you’re white, male, and have a semblance of your shit together, you’ll be done in 6 months or less. I’ve seen minorities stuck in the process for years, despite having the squeaky-cleanest of records. (On the flip side, I heard a rumor that someone in the building recently got their reinvestigation processed successfully despite having recently received their 3rd DUI…) The exception to that is if you’re in the military, as the government will have a record of anything you’ve ever done, and if you’re an officer then you probably already have a clearance to begin with.

Well, you could start by taking a break asking every single person on this thread how their life is terrible. That would make my life marginally better.

Many who love to talk about how great America is also have not left.

Here’s a handy list. Just keeping scrolling til you get to the US, and until you get there I’d most likely be happier living there.

I understand you feel like that’s vindictiveness, but hear me out - given that rural, agricultural, and Rust Belt states swung wildly towards Trump, I don’t think it’s unfair to instead think of that as justice.

Ostensibly because the presidential election is the one that they really cared about this time around.

The Amazon reviews thing I assume is referring to Fakespot, which Mozilla bought some time ago.

But I’m confused about their “AI’ed it up” comment because from the very beginning Fakespot was using ML to determine the tone of reviews and whether or not they were lying about the product/paid reviews by the seller.

Remember that her brand of conservative is always projecting. She assumes that everyone is as compromised as she and Gaetz and the rest of the merry band of morons is.

You really haven’t thought this through. What happens if I email you a bunch of illegal pictures? Guess we’re both going to jail.

Nothing is ever enough.
