I used it very briefly. Doesn’t it depend on the groups you join? There could also be horrible stuff in Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups, Telegram groups, etc.

Of course, there needs to be a way to report that type of content, and the platform should be held accountable for hosting/disseminating the reported content if it doesn’t remove it. It’s just that I don’t think that banning access to a general platform is the right move.

see simon’s comment under my original comment and my reply, regarding passwords/sync

Yes, it will copy everything related to that profile. The passwords are stored in the key4.db file so it shouldn’t be copied in that situation.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_what-information-is-stored-in-my-profile

Then there’s also the sync feature which might import the passwords even if the file has been deleted, so the sync needs to be disabled on the work pc.

In the “olden” times, should have parents vetoed the usage of Usenet/forums/AIM/mIRC/ICQ/etc. just because horrible stuff could have been shared there?

Additionally, should parents monitor everything their kids do? Other than the privacy/lack-of-trust implications, not everybody has the time/ability/energy to do that

Copying the profile folder should do it

You should also copy profiles.ini (which indicates the path of the working/available profiles)

Generally speaking, this should also work for other forks, but it might depend on which versions the forks are based on. If they are too behind the version that the profile is from then there might be “forwards compatibility” issues, for example in the way specific files/databases are structured (but maybe not, this is just a guess).

Also note that since forks tend to have different default values for some settings then if you didn’t explicitly set them through a user.js file or directly in prefs.js (or another method) then you would get the default from the fork instead of the one from the main version.

The pressure to review thousands of horrific videos each day – beheadings, child abuse, torture – takes a devastating toll on our mental health

What could be a solution for dealing with that? I wouldn’t want to be exposed to that type of content even if I was paid to do so and had access to health support to deal with the aftermath every time.

I remember hearing about a similar experiment from the 70’s in Canada

I love the serendipitous use of kindergarten, with it being of German origin :)

I fear that this will be used as a pretense to have a Real ID tied to all of your online accounts, and that it will be publicly facing.

And then if people come to your house after you share a wrongthink, or if part of who you are clashes with “the good ole days”, well then that’s just an unintended but necessary evil, so sit down and shut up.

And there’s also Tonight Alive’s Amelia that I couldn’t finish listening to even once because it was too heartbreaking

The issue is, do they have the know-how for developing/maintaining a browser/engine?

If they manage to get ex-Firefox devs on board then they might be fine, but otherwise if they’re on their own then that’s like asking electricians and painters to build/maintain an entire house. They might not have the knowledge/experience to do so.

just making sure you’ve seen this nested comment

I’ve been using RSS to keep up with channels and it’s been great. I recently found out that you can use a different feed url to only get the main videos from the channel (to filter out shorts and livestreams)

So instead of the channel url (which gets converted to https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC...) you use https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULF... (might stand for User Uploads Long Form)

If you use an addon (like Feedbro) you can automatically get the first rss URL and manually convert it by clicking on Find Feeds In Current Tab when on the channel’s page, then right-click copy the “rss” hyperlink. Otherwise, you can look for the channel ID in the page source by searching for =UC.

A lot of this was already covered but here’s what I have:

• Lights/screens:
  • Switching to light sources/bulbs with lower brightness/warmer light temperature (lower Kelvin/K-value) 3 hours before bed. (Light affects our sleep-wake cycle, aka the circadian rhythm. Our brain processes bright light as “the sun is still up so it’s not time to sleep yet”)
  • Gradually dimming electronic screens until bedtime. (Computer: using a program like F.lux and lowering the brightness gradually in the graphics card’s control panel. Phone: with a built-in Night/Dark Mode option that you can schedule or by using an app like Twilight). // Don’t take your devices to the bedroom, or keep them far away from the bed and set them on silent/shut them off.
  • Use a face mask (or tie some other cloth around your eyes), or sleep in a dark room (closed door, covered windows, covered LED lights on electronics, etc.) (note: if you sleep in a closed room make sure to keep it well-ventilated in all other hours)
• Try not to sleep for more than 8 hours, so you’ll always be tired enough the next night.
• Masking noise:
  • Use something that makes a white noise - a loud fan/air purifier, a plugged-in radio that’s not tuned to a working station, a white noise device, etc. (put it next to a window if it’s noisy outside to mask the noise better)
  • Additionally (or alternatively) you can use foam earplugs. Just make sure to roll&squeeze them before putting them in and don’t push them too far, otherwise you might get impacted earwax and have difficulty getting them out.
• Food: Have a light meal 3-3.5 hours before bed and light snacks (like crackers) 1.5-2 hours before bed, to not go to sleep hungry and get distracted by that and to not put the body into overdrive by having to digest a heavy meal, or cause heartburn/indigestion.
• If you sleep on your stomach with your head to the side, you can use a thin and narrow side pillow (but firm) along your torso to support your shoulder on the side that your head is pointing to. (you can also use a thin pillow for your head to not strain your neck/spine - there are ones made for kids if needed)

Does it work for you when the word is at the start or end of the title?

I found that the previous/next post’s text interferes with that because it doesn’t recognize a line break between them (at least in my testing)

• Lights: Switching to light sources/bulbs with lower brightness/warmer light temperature (lower Kelvin/K-value) 3 hours before bed. (Light affects our sleep-wake cycle, aka the circadian rhythm. Our brain processes bright light as “the sun is still up so it’s not time to sleep yet”)

• Sleeping in a closed and completely dark room (including covering LED lights on electronics, or using a face mask) with something that makes a white noise.
• Food: Having a light meal 3-3.5 hours before bed and light snacks 1.5-2 hours before bed, to not put the body into overdrive digesting a heavy meal or cause heartburn/indigestion, and also to not go to sleep hungry and get distracted by that.

On the humorous side:

• My Brother, My Brother And Me - 3 brothers giving not-so-serious advice to listeners, reacting to questions from Yahoo Answers (when that was a thing), and overall being funny/silly
• My Dad Wrote A Porno - 3 people reacting to an “erotica” book series that one of the guys’ dad published (I would say the books are maybe only 5%-20% explicit, depending on the chapter) (some of the characters’ voices can be annoying/grating, and the narrator tends to repeat sentences after they react to them which can be annoying as well)
• No Such Thing As A Fish - the behind-the-scenes staff of the show QI bring up interesting facts and tidbits from history/nature/etc. (each episode is split into 4 parts where each member brings up a fact and the others react to it and bring up related facts)
• If I Were You - Jake & Amir from CollegeHumor giving advice to listeners (mostly in a sarcastic/tongue-in-cheek way but sometimes genuinely), mostly about relationships/dating
• SmartLess - Jason Bateman and Will Arnett (Arrested Development) and Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) interview a famous person each episode where only one of the hosts known who it is beforehand (it gets better after the first few episodes, though some conversations are less funny/entertaining than others)
• Office Ladies - Jenna and Angela from The Office (US) reacting to each episode of the show and bringing up behind-the-scenes stuff (some of episodes include interviews with other cast members/staff)
