I can't seem to find the setting. Is it not available for Firefox for Android (Fenix), do you know?

Ive read the first few so far. The next book on my list looks to be a full length novel.

I find your reference of "her humans" is interesting. I never thought of muderbot as a her. Perhaps I missed an important line somewhere in the story?

I think your review is right on. You captured exactly what it's like. I look forward to reading the next book.

To add to others, wind also is generated when a rain "microburst" occurs.This happens frequently in the southwest U.S.

A microburst is when a very large amount of water is dropped out of the clouds. The gaining rain speed pushes the air below it out of the way. The air is pushed outward horizontal to the ground, which in essence is a massive wall of wind.

Often in the Sonoron desert a microburst causes the wind to push a lot of dirt from the ground surface to be blown out with the wind. When this happens it's called a haboob. The wall of thick dust and particles can be up to a mile high and as wide as a city.

Below is a link to an image of a haboob over Phoenix, Arizona.

Thanks.

Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to contribute your knowledge. I appreciate it.

Not if they are regulated to put an "In Full or in Part AI Generated" label on it.

I'll ask. What is a blep?

Doesn't seem to be available for Android.

I think we're there. The future is today.

Bingo. This is exactly the issue for me. The militant and intolerant attitudes and name calling. It's deeply disappointing.

And this is exactly what s/he's talking about. The whole name calling thing if someone has a differing viewpoint. It's militant and intolerant. I'm just so sick of this kind of attitude here, I'm close to ditching Lemmy because of it.

Privacy? Firefox [at least on Android] has Trackers.

Too bad apple refises to provide a manual with these kinds of features in it. That'd be useful. No, it's not intuitive, clearly.

It's pretty scary how media can influence us so much, even when we think they aren't, and even when we think "only dumb people fall for it." No my friend, the majority fall for it. Not cause they're dumb, but because they've scienced the hell out of human nature and know precisely how to do it right under our noses. It started with marketing and advertising that works well, unfortunately. They've cracked the psyche code. Media adopted it. Big tech improved it. Gah... this is turning into a rant about capitalism; I didn't intend to go there. Eek.

Thank you for being kind in explaining that to me.

Is 'ifconfig -all' no longer a thing?

Can you recommend one with a short window title bar? I've tried numerous ones that appear in the Main Menu -> Preferences -> Themes: Add/Remove Tab. None of them thus far has made any difference regarding the height of the title bar. Or are you suggestions to get these gtk themes from elsewhere?

How does one do that? Through the Themes icon in the menu bar, under Preferences, I was able to double click on the following themes. Adapta-Nokto, CBlack, and Windows 10 Light Theme.

There is a checkmark to the left of them indicating they are installed. But I can't seem to activate them. I double click on them and nothing happens. Right mouse button and middle mouse button does nothing.

When I go back to the Themes tab under Simplified Settings, they do not appear in the Style drop down list.

How do I activate these themes I downloaded? I see they are in ~/.themes as expected.

~$ ll ~/.themes
drwxrwxr-x  5 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 ./
drwxr-x--- 26 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:55 ../
drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 Adapta-Nokto/
drwxrwxr-x  7 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:48 CBlack/
drwxrwxr-x  9 clu clu 4096 Sep 11 19:49 Windows-10/

So I found an option under Themes Tab called Desktop. When I click it, the downloaded themes are available to select, along with a million other ones. I selected each of my themes but really didn't notice much difference. The Start Menu changed a little bit. Very underwhelmed. Is theming only available for the Start Menu? No title bars, windows, background, icons, mouse looks different at all.

I must be doing this wrong. ??? The Mouse Pointer, Applications, and Icons buttons don't list the new theme as an option to select. ?? I guess I mistakenly thought a "theme" impacted most aspects of the GUI. ??

Still couldn't find anything in Cinnamon Spices. Oh well.

the font you had before you changed it may have already been hitting the minimum size of your gtk theme

I don't understand what that means.

Hi. I've seen a lot of peeps post images like this. I'm behind the times. What app is that?

Font size did not affect change.

Okay thanks. May try it. Or may juts switch to i3 or xfce. I installed i3 the other day. Took a few hours of playing with it before I became comfortable with it.

All vegetation is now edible and extremely healthy.

It was a burger I ate when the chef was going to kill us all.

Tried. No go. It doesn't change with the font size of the title bar.

Treat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It's angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don't forget that.

The one that doesn't allow advertisements or rampant bots.

Oh okay. I didn't realize that. Wow.

6 million dollars apiece is cheap?

This is exactly right. Divergence was small when sizes were small. Good point.

Ah, that's why. I did not know that. Thank you.

I wasn't talking about HDD sizes, but I know the person to which I was replying was talking about HDD's specifically. I shou,d have clarified I was talking in more general terms (CPU RAM, NVM sizes, etc.)

I remember being miffed about the advertising of the HDD sizes. So I think you are correct there. Wish I could go back to the mid 80's and do some research on my old HDDs and floppies. I honestly just can't remember, so thank you.

I hate the new prefixes, not just because they aren't the older nomenclature, but because they feel ridiculous to speak out loud. If a less silly sounding prefix was chosen, I probably wouldn't be tainted about it.

I agree with you. A long time ago, those of us "in the know" techies could parse the difference like it was a native language. When talking anything but computers, it was always the SI of 1000. When talking about computers, it was always 1024.

I think the masses were confused and the SI purists felt their SI prefixes were being corrupted. So they made a distinction/standard between binary numbering system prefixes and decimal numbering system prefixes.

I hate it. Feels wrong because I'm old and set in my ways. People like me are confused because we still use the old nomenclature, and when someone else uses the old nomenclature (when talking about computers), it's ambiguous to us because we don't know which numbering system they are using (e.g., binary as opposed to decimal). I still have to ask and half say binary and half say decimal.

I suppose if they're teaching it in high school and college it'll become native soon enough, if it hasn't already with the next generations.

Most annoying for me is calling for or defederating from instances which have diverse points of view. This is inclusivity hypocrisy. Ignore or block what you don't want to hear. Don't speak for me. You may have supporters that think the way you do, but there are multitudes who think differently. It's the antithesis of equity to silence different opinions, no matter how offensive they are to you and/or to those who think like you. Simply block them so you do not have to endure differing, offensive speech [even if you consider it "hate" speech]. What I hate, others may adore. So just block it.

Marketing and advertising. They show a huge, juicy, scrumptous nice quality burger. You go to buy it and it's a cold, limp, tiny, frail nothing burger.

There used to be a law about false advertising. But it doesn't seem to be enforced anymore. Marketing and advertising can lie straight to your face. Its not right and shouldnt be tolerated.

And Americans are so complacent about it, they say things like, "It's , what'd you expect?" Instead of demanding what was advertised. It's soul crushing. It's like we've given up.

It isn't like anything. One moment you are counting down, the very next moment you are waking up. Time does not pass for you. It's one instant (counting down) to the next (waking up.) It's very strange. Like you skipped through time. Like you magically moved forward in time instantaneously. You will never have memories from when you are under.

I like the last one. Interesting to think about.

You make choices, but in the end, choices really make you.
