The insect world is a tiny nightmarish hellscape of armor, weapons, and sudden death.

Also, evolution isn’t maximally efficient, it’s just barely efficient enough. Eyes are a janky, often low-fi is good enough, affair. 99.9% of species that have ever existed are extinct. 99.9999999999% of species alive today do the bare friggin’ minimum to throw DNA into either the wind or a hole and maaaaybe do nothing more than reproduce.

The Helicoprion existed.

Jellyfish. WTF?

Lived in West Africa. 14 was common, with a few “promised” kids as low as 8/9/10. To dudes in their 30s and 40s.

But hey, the US has this all the time, and is no better than developing countries in some states.

Terrible. It’s a feature, not a bug.

The point in not remembering past lives is that each life is supposed to be full of learning and growing and experiences that aren’t weighed down and tainted by the egos of past incarnations.

Imagine having been an illiterate miner in the Old West that lives to 95, then showing up with that perspective in the 80s. You’d simply be a cantankerous Luddite set in old ways. Note do that over and over and over.

It’s a joy to shed the ego.

No, the account gets flagged as too many old changes, an indicator of being hacked. Suspended for 6 months is the usual FB policy.

I’m spread out across Waterfox, Ironfox, Brave and Vivaldi.

For FF forks, don’t neglect extensions like JShelter. They make a difference as well.

Nice idea, but it’ll get flagged if you do too much going back in time.

Revive and delete all media, then delete the account. In practice, it likely doesn’t mean much, but it does technically mean you sort of “deny further permissions” to use the data you left there. Again, IRL they’ll use it anyway.

Also, don’t leave an account associated with your name there to possibly get hacked years from now and abuse any connections you have.

Also an option if it’s not tied to your name, revive it and sell it. Aged accounts can be worth about $50+ to sell to scammers.

You should explain that to the few Steam games I have that work just fine on Mint, right out of the box.

It’s hit or miss and depends on the game, and OP didn’t really give us much detail. There’s just no absolutes is ultimately the lesson to learn, which is why a dual boot option might suit them best.

You can always do a dual boot. I’ve had a dual boot Linux Mint and Win 11 for maybe 18 months and I’m finally getting around to purging Windows out for good. The Mint installer sets it all up shockingly easily. I ended up so rarely using Windows that at this point I would rather have the space back.

Admittedly, I do very little coding or gaming, so YMMV, but I’m also basically trashing PS Elements and MS Office Home because I know GIMP and LibreOffice do the job anyway. It was that $250 that kept me holding on for this long.

The eternal metric of a good show hitting a point in season 3 or 4 where every episode opens 20 more questions than it answers, making me wonder if its going to Do a Lost on me and just fall apart. (ahem-Yellowjackets&Severance-ahem)

Yeah, rushed is part of it as well for a full 120+min movie.

And, I should say, I also loved the movie and was disappointed to see mostly negative reviews afterward, but I get it. I initially loved the fact that 87North, the director’s own production company, is both listed in the opening credits and is the company making the movie in the movie. But as the final (contrived to look awesome, which is the point, not the actual plot points) moments wrap up, it felt like it was as much an industry commercial for the director’s own production company as it was a movie just being a movie. Maybe that’s a selling feature and I overthought it, but it sort of took me out of it.

The Fall Guy. The show had a very simple premise (stunt crew moonlights as bounty hunters) that really couldn’t hold up after multiple seasons. The movie just floundered trying to do too much, and ended up far too inside baseball for normal viewers to really identify with.

Not up to me, I would have done the same as you suggested.

But we’re taking about this in the context of this infographic. So we have to distill this down to:

Should FF be with, or above, Brave?

I assume we’re also taking about relatively low-barrier changes that most users can implement. So vanilla FF vs vanilla Brave, there’s a difference. Can we harden FF? Sure. Will 95%+ of people do that with Librewolf or 3 dozen other forks out there? Why bother when there’s nuance to be gained with other forks? So now vanilla FF stops being relevant.

And to be clear, I don’t use Brave unless I absolutely have to. I don’t love it, but vs. normie Vanilla FF, there’s a slight edge.

Lol, no. Here’s a list of all the things that panel doesn’t account for.

https://forum.level1techs.com/t/browser-hardening-privacy-anti-fingerprint-and-anti-telemetry-guide/198039

Also, there’s nothing close to even attempting privacy without strong fingerprint protection anyway, which I should have also mentioned. Vanilla FF allows a bright shining canvas fingerprint that Brave and Librewolf disable.

FF doesnt deserve much better than Brave as it sends telemetry, so both on tier 2. LibreWolf would fit for tier 3 or maaaybe 4.

Not even. Young man shakes fist at phone.

Of course, but at that point I have no passport and I’m the victim of a crime, so I have to go to the embassy to get a temp passport and ask them to help me figure out how to get a new flight and cancel credit cards.

At this point the question is where are my house keys to get in and pay a taxi guy mad cash from the airport to my house?

Y’all know they give you backup codes for your 2FA, right?

Coded printout in my fire box. Encrypted version on my home laptop. Worst case scenario is losing my phone and passport on day 1 of a long trip.
