• Probably because it’s on a controller. It is fucking stupid.

  Payment terminal, can’t patent that. Payment terminal on a toaster? Yes you can patent that. Lol

• I don’t think so. I use Firefox Developer Edition as my default browser. It is possible that I disabled those flags at some point but I would think it would reset after a clean install and not being logged in to Sync.

• Yeah, I figured.

  So a clean install of Firefox on an Intel Mac should technically be fine. I guess Mozilla turned it off for abuses like this.

  Thank you for your input.

• So this is interesting.

  I am running this on a Mac (Intel), on clean install of Firefox.

  It didn’t work.

  If anyone is curious I’ll post what I think might be relevant.

  I got this error:

  Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: can't access property "getPreferredCanvasFormat", navigator.gpu is undefined
      main https://auberon.xyz/deathray/:15
  

  But I looked at the documentation for getPreferredCanvasFormat() and it exist.

  mdn_: GPU: getPreferredCanvasFormat() method

  So I looked at about:config and I listed what I think might be relevant:

  config	set to
  dom.webgpu.enabled	false
  webgl.forbid-hardware	false
  webgl.disabled	false

• I have a feeling NYC school test scores will get a lot higher under Mamdani. Reports suggests more tech doesn’t mean better education. It just creates more distractions.

• 1Password is a paid service. The money given to for the service can go to organizations the user doesn’t agree with.

  KeePass is free.

  How is it the same?
