Ah, well, that sucks. Do you have any idea if the devs are aware of this bug? If so, I hope they fix it one day.

Prepare your Firefox desktop extension for the upcoming Android release in c/[email protected]

It's an extension that allows you to blacklist certain websites from appearing in search results. So if you wanna prevent for instance facebook links from showing up in search results, uBlacklist can make that possible.

Google Gmail continuously nagging to enable Enhanced Safe Browsing in c/[email protected]

The notification to enable enhanced safe browsing even shows up when you're accessing Gmail on Firefox. It doesn't even make any damn sense, this feature only works on Chrome. And of course they'll never add a "don't show again" option. Think I might just set Gmail to forward to my Proton account from now on.

Edit: found an article on how to forward to ProtonMail in case anyone else wants to know how. Seems very easy to do.

It says a lot about that platform that I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was a new trend. A very braindead trend though, because I honestly can't see the benefit in lying about doing this. Attention maybe?

Reminds me of this song.

At first I thought it was a joke. Then I saw stuff like this, and now this post. Why is this a recurring thing? Is it just some kind of horrible running joke?

A Lufthansa pilot traced a 15-mile-long penis shape in the sky after being asked to divert his plane in c/[email protected]

It remains unclear whether the pilot intentionally designed the shape. Insider asked Lufthansa about this, but the airline avoided the question in its response.

Fortunately, karma means nothing here, unlike on the other site. I'd say it's nothing to worry about

No, they're far too busy using taxpayer money to bail out banks and businesses that are "too big to fail".

Halo: The Fall of Reach. I decided to finally play through all of the games so I purchased the Master Chief collection, played through Halo 1, then read an article detailing the full timeline of events. According to that, I have 3 books to read before I can get to Halo 2. Fall of Reach is the Master Chief's origin story, while the next book is the novelization of Halo 1, and the third fills in the gap between Halo 1 and 2. Suffice to say, I've got a lot to read before I can get to Halo 2, lol. Fortunately, I love reading, so this should be fun.
