That symbol just means the water is not potable. You see it on the taps on trains in Sweden.

I think they added some compatibility in the past year or so but I had issues detecting my microphone on Linux just 2 weeks ago. I’ve had some smaller ecommerce sites fail to load properly on Firefox/Librewolf, Red Hat’s Training website doesn’t work on Firefox, and also some features on apps like Google Meet and Miro are unavailable. It’s nothing that makes firefox unusable, and I can always open up ungoogled chromium when needed, but it is a serious issue for browser diversity and competition that the web has defaulted to chrome now.

Don’t see it here in Sweden.

I have to switch to chromium often, unfortunately. Various websites are untested with Firefox, and many apps such as Teams are not compatible with FF. Probably better than the early 2000’s but still really bad.

Ukraine is not attacking civilian infrastructure, what you’re describing are war crimes. This is not what the debate over long range missiles is about.

Here is a recent video from William Spaniel about the debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0ZTEz7Bzc

I think performance was part of Chrome’s success, but there was also all the memes in 2010 about installing chrome to replace IE, and the ads that Google ran on their search page. I don’t think Pocket came out until Firefox was already deep into the decline. I do think Chrome held onto those users because of their ram efficiency at the time, and nice features like built-in translate. Now, users can’t switch because the web depends on Chrome, just like back in the IE days.

At the same time, you have many people on Lemmy that parrot Putin’s line that every pro-democracy protest in the world is just some plot by the CIA and should be suppressed.

  1. Not from the article
  2. Not related to the civil rights discussion raised by the article
  3. No source for this quote
  4. Cherrypicking one-sided events from a conflict that lasted almost an entire year
  5. Russian propaganda blaming the National Endowment for Democracy (sub: CIA) for all protests worldwide
  6. Misinformation claiming that subway stations were set on fire
  7. Misinformation claiming that protesters deliberately attacked the man who was killed by a falling brick

This doesn’t contribute to the discussion.
