Michelle Carranza, 22, did not want to be another trans woman murdered in her native Honduras.

Don’t come to the US, you’ll be murdered too. And depending on where you are, won’t even be reported.

KilledByGoogle up next: Chrome. You mean they pulled the plug on Chrome.

A lot of momentum to dissipate but the ad blocker defines a bearable web experience.

Nah, chrome will block “intrusive” ads to maximise Google’s revenue

TheBigBrother , in Google says it observed Iran trying to hack the Trump and Biden-Harris campaigns

Now the enemy it’s Iran? Maybe the US should invade Iran…

dhork ,
BlameThePeacock ,

Now?

The whole Israel-Palestinian shit fest is literally just a proxy war for the US vs Iran.

It has been for a few decades.

EvergreenGuru ,

No. The Palestinians have a land dispute because they’ve been ethnically cleansed from their land, bit by bit, by Israel over the last 70 years. They receive arms because their allies believe Palestinians shouldn’t be subjected to apartheid and genocide.

The most Iran gets from the situation is less refugees because the Palestinians will eventually succeed and get their land back. This would improve the stability of the region, as most countries in the Middle East agree that a country with a history of fighting wars to steal other peoples’ land (as Israel has done) is a threat to all other countries in the region.

BlameThePeacock ,

Iran doesn’t give a shit about the Palestinians or their land, they are only supplying aid to weaken Israel.

Less refugees? Iran doesn’t have ANY Palestinian refugees. www.unhcr.org/ir/refugees-in-iran/Iran(Farsi) doesn’t even speak the same language that Palestinians (Arabic) use.

If all the countries in the region think war is bad, why did most of them invade Israel literally the day after the British Protectorate left because they were not happy with the UN agreed upon borders? They only got mad when Israel turned the tables and absolutely kicked their asses.

Laborer3652 ,

Probably because Isntreal is a beta cuck who steals land from their neighbors.

EvergreenGuru ,

The reason Israel keeps getting attacked is because it’s a colony that seeks to create a regional empire. The reason they didn’t lose is because Egypt halted their forces instead of pushing for victory.

BlameThePeacock ,

The entire region WAS a regional empire immediately before Israel existed, the Ottoman Empire. They picked the wrong side in the world war and got broken up afterwards as a result.

“Seek to create a regional empire” is also false, they gave back a ton of land that they conquered after the initial invasion because they didn’t actually want it.

A decent Jewish presence has existed in that exact location for thousands of years, which kills your “it’s a colony” theory.

Got any more bright ideas?

EvergreenGuru ,

If a state created by foreign Jews stealing and re-settling stolen land does not meet the definition of colonialism, then colonies do not exist.

The same can be said about the intentional bombing of civilians and wholesale slaughter of Palestinians during this war. If this is not genocide, then there is no such thing as genocide.

If we believe your lies, then we live in a world where actions cannot be described and words mean nothing.

BlameThePeacock ,

Created by foreign jews? That entirely depends on the timeline you’re talking about. Jewish people had been living in that region for literally thousands of years, but there was a large migration of jews to the area when they got pushed out of Russia in the 1800s, and another large bunch that moved there during the second world war (for obvious reasons). They moved there BECAUSE there was already Jewish people there, and for historical reasons because the entire area (and more) is referenced as the Kingdom of Israel in the Torah, which was written a few thousand years before. Can you colonize a land that was yours to begin with but that got taken from you?

To add insult to injury, if that’s your definition, then Gaza is a colony too. Very few people over 40 were actually born there, a lot of them moved there from the surrounding countries (Primarily Egypt) when Egypt invaded and took control of that region.

ryrybang , in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to meet with Kamala Harris to discuss Cabinet job

Promise him Secretary of State if he stays in the race until election day, keeps on message (stupid conservative arguments), and works swing states hard. Then…just don’t give him State. Or anything.

Does anyone still use chrome? lol.

Chozo ,

Nearly 3.5 billion people do.

"Does anybody still use [literally the most popular product in its industry]?"

ravhall ,

They deserve what they get.

Chozo ,

I deserve ads because Firefox won't render any of the web apps I use for work? Damn.

ravhall ,

What websites do you use for work that won’t work on Firefox?

Chozo ,

Firefox breaks Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, Jira, and several other internal/proprietary platforms I use. Many of our tools are integrated into each other (sometimes on the backend through the API, sometimes on the frontend through an iFrame), and Firefox really doesn't play nicely with these interactions. Either it doesn't like the fact that our apps are accessing multiple sites at a time and throws security errors, or it just doesn't render some parts of the page properly, making them unusable.

For instance, one ticketing tool we use is completely inaccessible in Firefox, because the page breaks after the header and loads the rest into a 10px-wide column that stretches for miles. Works fine in Chrome, Edge, and even Safari somehow.

Some of this could be fixed by using these platforms with their out-of-the-box software which may be more compatible with Firefox, without our modifications. But our mods are there because these integrations drastically improve our workflows, so that's unfortunately not a feasible option for our business.

A lot of this is due to Firefox having stricter standards, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe our developers should make our tools more standard-compliant and that might be better in the long run. But until then, I gotta use what works.

TheOctonaut ,

Firefox breaks…

(Long unnecessary nonsense that isn’t applicable to anyone else)

Maybe our developers should make our tools more standard-compliant

lol. So who broke it?

Chozo ,

(Long unnecessary nonsense that isn't applicable to anyone else)

I was answering a question that was asked directly to me, genius.

ShortFuse ,

Firefox, unfortunately, has been lagging behind. Safari is close to surpassing Firefox if they haven’t already. Safari really made a big shift for actually implementing web standards around 16.4.

  • No HDR - relevant for me because I mod PC games for HDR
  • Dropped PWA on desktop - even Apple went full 180° and embraced it now on Mac OS X. Chrome really gets a good push from this from Microsoft constantly helping push more app manifest stuff since it appears one of their goals is to render more things over Edge PWAs (eg: like the title bar), and resort less to having to use electron.
  • No masked borders - can’t do custom element borders like corner cutting or perfect squircles. Rounded edges only

Chrome is still the absolute best for accessibility. Neither Firefox nor Safari properly parse the aria labels when it comes to how things are rendered. Chrome will actually render text in accessibility nodes as presented on screen (ie: with spacing). Safari and Firefox only use .textContent which can have words beingmergedwhentheyshouldn’t.

Chrome also has Barcode and NFC scanning built right in. I’ve had to use fake keyboard emulators for iOS. Though, Chrome on Mac OS X also supports it. Safari has native support for Barcode behind a flag, so it’ll likely come in the future. Barcode scanning is still possible with Firefox through direct reading of the camera bitmap, which is slower but still good. There’s no solution for NFC for Safari, but if Chrome ever comes iOS, that would possibly be solved. I believe Face Detection is similar, but I’ve never used it.

ravhall ,

Sounds like chrome is going the way of Internet Explorer. Totally ignoring the W3C, and doing whatever they want. That won’t end well.

ShortFuse ,

What? They all have W3C specs. Firefox just chose not to implement them.

You think you’re trashing Chrome, but you’re trashing Firefox instead.

ravhall ,

Well, done of the drafts count. Because they’re drafts.

ShortFuse ,

Even line-height in CSS3 is draft. Saying no drafts should be implemented is a ridiculous standpoint: a standpoint not even Firefox aligns with:

Standardization requirements for shipping features

What evidence is necessary will vary, but generally this will be:

W3C - the specification is at the Candidate Recommendation maturity level or more advanced; shipping from a Working Draft or a less advanced specification requires evidence of agreement within the working group that shipping is acceptable

wiki.mozilla.org/ExposureGuidelines

But keep moving those goal posts.

ravhall ,

🤷‍♂️ whatever you say. I’ll keep on having zero issues with Firefox.

pivot_root ,

Your elitism is showing.

ravhall ,

I’m so elite because I choose to use a browser that respects my privacy lol.

Thank you, I guess?

Aw man. I really like Vivaldi for its productivity and customisation. Guess I’ll have to go back to FF and try trick it out some.

bdonvr , (edited ) in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

No, but they can generally find out what party you’re registered to if your state does things as such.

Does she need her kitchen redone? That’s the only cabinet job I would let him near…
