She spent 11 days detained.

“I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days,” […] “I have never in my life seen anything so inhumane.” She went on to describe one incident when she and 30 other women were moved in the middle of the night to a facility in Arizona. During the ordeal, she was forced to be “up for 24 hours wrapped in chains.”

From CBC.CA (Eagles is her mother’s surname):

Eagles said the detainees at the San Luis facility have no sleeping mats or blankets or windows, and the lights are on all day and night.

I never quite understood the massive hard-on programmers have for splitting hairs.

I can see exactly one use case: context-aware OCR of code.

Late 80s. Little kid me got picked up from school but dad still had work to do, so I join him at work. He notices I’m bored. Sits me in front of a terminal to their Unix mainframe, opens up Pico. I type in stuff there, happy as a clam. Good times.

There’s Servo too. So ladybird can crash and burn for all I care.

Pascal is so awful. Damn, I wish it was dead.

In C too*.

*for certain compilers, that is.

I had just graduated, fresh engineer and super happy I landed a pretty good starting engineering job in a great company. I was quite lucky. Engineers dropping like flies, becoming taxi drivers, or whatever they could find to sustain their families. All investments everywhere were dwindling. Thankfully oil prices were high regionally so some remained.

I’m sure it would. But in many languages a double negative just reinforces the negative. Hence the question.

I looked for one a while ago and didn’t find one. Luckily the web apps available are really good. Tesseract is one that works well with a mouse and a wide screen.

I’m with you. Those TOUs are unacceptable.

Not a lot of options for iOS. There’s Tor browser and Brave that I know of. Brave is surprisingly good, but I don’t do a lot of serious navigation in the phone, and tend to favor private mode so the tracking gets deleted once I close the tab.

It’s a drop in replacement. It’s pre hardened so you may want to relax the settings a bit to get some comfort (at the expense of privacy). But otherwise you’ll feel right at home.

I don’t want Mozilla to be handling my personal data in any way. Anonymized usage statistics? I could be convinced to relinquish that. But that’s it.

Can they answer “not no”?

I don’t know if it was you, but thanks for the initiative.
