Deleted and correcting (sorry @BrendanEich). Here's what the anti-fingerprinting actually does: https://t.co/fqLaZdeegZ. It doesn't spoof user agents. Still not convinced Brave is being a good citizen here, but I'll update after I've looked more closely at it.

@BrendanEich @elonmusk My bad, that's not what's anti-fingerprinting is doing? That's what I understood from Eric's explanation, and it was triggering CAPTCHAs for me all over the Internet until I disabled it.

@MorlockP @BrendanEich I turned off my "Block fingerprinting" setting globally. It gets me hammered with a lot of annoying CAPTCHAs all across the Internet. It's not just an X problem.

The native vowel inventory of English is enormous. The precise set varies by dialect, but there are 27 diaphonemes (counting dipthongs, coloration, and length variations as distinct). Whether someone will choose the right vowel when pronouncing a foreign word or loanword is another matter, but the only vowel sound common in European languages but likely to be unfamiliar to English speakers is the front close rounded vowel ([y], German ü).

My brain is somehow deeply patterned on the Appalachians (broadly, not just "Appalachia") for what home should look like, despite growing up in South Florida. Geologically old mountains, climate somewhere on the spectrum from Cwb to Dfc. NH hits the sweet spot. I could never live anywhere in the Midwest.

@marcorandazza Nah, we lost the record in 1996 to Typhoon Olivia. But we picked up a new record a couple winters ago: coldest windchill ever measured in North America. I was watching a live feed from the observatory when it happened.

@pilgrim_137 @SwiftOnSecurity I miss when GNOME wasn't designed around the central guiding principle that the user is a drooling idiot.

@__apf__ It looks like your husband has been practicing his karate.

@Koookiiing Even if there were no historical significance to these buildings, it's still arson! Who are these people voting "fine and deport"?

@tloriato_ @in4crypto @arjunkhemani @Delphi_Digital That's about D/D+/A+/A as I see it.

[Daniel Franke @dfranke]

@tloriato_ @in4crypto @arjunkhemani @Delphi_Digital A little weird scoring Bitcoin and fiat equally on "established history".

@notjessewalker It's a deadly escape room where the puzzles are human egg drop challenges or combinatorial logic problems that switch a 10kV circuit.

@VictorTaelin Equation: seems familiar in form but need context to understand exactly what it's saying.

@marcorandazza I learned it last year when they heard VOS Selection v. US.

@andy_champagne Actually got it sitting around in the half-finished projects bin. It'd be called the Space Commander. The space cadet grew up and made O-5.
