It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.

I don't recall the CVE, it was likely months ago, and I wasn't in a position to argue.
The Cyber guy said that a few years ago (3?).

Ironically, in the past year, one of my employers specifically disallowed Firefox due to a CVE, saying that we were to use Chrome. A Cybersecurity professional once told me that Firefox is frowned upon because of CVEs.
Mildly Infuriating
Unsubscribe link from their emails takes you to this. You then to need to sign in with email and password (I don't know my password) to manage preference. I just want all out!

A bit of a devil's advocate: requiring a login prevents someone from unsubscribing a user who actually wants to receive the messages.
I've seen several good recommendations for what equipment I need, but I don't know who to trust for reliable products. For example, flashlights and multi-tools. I see a lot of flashlights on Amazon, but I don't know if one is "better" than another. I'm wondering if there's a "you can't go wrong with these brands/models" that's available.

I use vim in Linux, so this is appealing. I guess I need to learn about Termux, I thought it was just a terminal for remote access.

that looks like what I'm looking for. I'd gotten put off by the f-droid warning about features I might not want (I was distracted then).
thanks!
I'm wanting to do some light coding on my phone. I want no ads, monospace font, prefer FOSS. Syntax highlighting would be nice, but not required. Should handle files of decent length, 200+ lines. Pretty much anything on F-Droid is for older versions of Android, play store apps all seem to have ads or onine editing.

i think I recall that the Bluetooth hardware is essentially an FM tuner. Just needed a wired headphone to use as an antenna. My Moto Stylus 2022 still has it.

My take is that this qualifies as having no real grasp of Christianity. But I wouldn't argue hard against this being a separate option

This is either (1) satire, (2) trolling, or (3) someone who has no real grasp of Christianity. Or some combination of the above.

Looks like an interesting group of special guests this year. Even Steve Burns from Blues Clues! Of course, there are the Sci Fi and comic personalities like George Takai and Dean Cain and others. I've never been because of the cost, but I might go this year. We'll see.
After my third rewatch, I still have one question. Where did "Arthur" get his sword and chain mail? It's a good episode, and this question doesn't detract from that.
