There was apparently a way to stop some of this behavior in the past using Firefox for iOS's "debug" menu (utterly ridiculous), but the option to choose isn't even there anymore.

Sigh. Considering it's just the same rendering engine/javascript engine on iOS _as_ Safari, I don't know why I'm even trying anymore.

Though, Chrome for iOS doesn't have these problems (I still use it for things that use my Google account).

Bye bye Firefox -- it's been a good run.

Well, that's it. I'm just about to stop using Firefox for iOS and start using Safari.

Firefox, for the past month, has been a) opening a new blank tab every time I switch to the app, and b) occasionally opening _every_ link in a new tab... in the background. I will click the same link 10 times, wondering why nothing is happening, and then get the tab row to appear (which isn't always visible in iOS), and notice I have 10 tabs open for the same thing.

Helping publish the first screenplay I've ever worked on (as a publisher -- I don't write screenplays).

I... really like working in screenplay format. It's fun. It's like a loose, human-readable sort of markup language.

After most of my closest family missing out of covid the whole time, I've had just about my entire family get sick with it in the past two weeks; it's incredible how fast it happened.

Among about 12 people, I can definitely say that those with the boosters weathered it like "a mild cold" from several accounts -- if they haven't had a booster, it's like getting a bad bout of influenza. Ouch.

Okay, the "Little Snitch" application for MacOS is.... neat.

Nothing like buying a weird, discounted router from the Internet and having it set by default to the Chinese version of the firmware when you buy it

No red flags here, folks

(Don't worry, I know what I'm getting into, and aren't letting this thing touch my network yet)

Why, in 2022, is there no easy way to transfer my playlists/likes etc, from Spotify to Apple Music? Why doesn't Apple have such a tool? Wouldn't it be in their interest?

Renting books from my local library, directly from my Kobo eBook reader.

Amazon doesn't let you do anything like this.

If you want to try an eBook reader, get a Kobo.

I'm trying to move some local VMs to containers, completely to the cloud -- is there a cloud service that will basically just let me upload and run an image in a container-based environment, cheaper than running VMs?

Neatest thing about the Matrix 4 -- all my favorite actors from Sense8 get another chance on the big screen. Seriously, I think 50% of the cast of Sense8 is in the movie.

No, why wait. I'm just going to go ahead and block you. Sigh.

Log4J: I have not seen anyone mention yet that: the fact that the feature was created with "LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS=true" as an option.... meant that someone in the past might've thought this might be an issue in the future.

Very interesting.

And we are about to go into DR mode because of this AWS outage -- holy shit

Major AWS outage going on right now in the US -- affecting anyone else?

Two jars of fig preserves, with little garter belts on them.

That'll learn me to upgrade an entire OS version in the first few weeks it comes out:
