What is it with so many maps drawn by Americans pretending Canada doesn't exist?

You can also do this with New Pipe.

"Tension"

Motherfucker invaded a sovereign nation and kidnapped its leader.

Well that's encouraging. Here's hoping they switch.

I would say so yes, but only if you view it as a communist enclave within capitalism.

The tricky bit is that FOSS exists in an environment that's devoid of scarcity. If I write code and post it under a Free license, you can make infinite copies and use it without depriving me of it. That's rather different from a scenario where I might spend my labour extracting a finite number of carrots from the earth.

Still, I think it's an excellent demonstration that the working class is willing to spend its efforts in a sharing economy... so long as the benefits are reciprocal.

This looks... fantastic.

Shame they opted for Apache.

Croc can be especially good for this.

Weirdly, I do have a "special permissions" section in my phone (Fairphone 4, which basically runs stock Android 15), but there's nothing about adding links to the homescreen in there, just:

• device admin apps
• Display over other apps
• Do not disturb access
• Media management apps
• Modify system settings
• Notification read, reply, and control
• Change media output
• Picture-in-picture
• Premium SMS
• Unrestricted mobile data
• Install unknown apps (Firefox has this permission now, still no joy)
• Alarms and reminders
• Usage access
• VR helper services
• Wi-Fi control
• Screen turn-on control
• Full-screen notifications
• Launch via NFC

I actually went through all of these, enabling Firefox's permissions wherever it came up, but still nothing. I'm starting to think that this might be an Android (b)locking rather than a Firefox shortcoming.

It doesn't appear on any site. Note that I'm not looking for an "Open with the app" button, but rather one that creates an "app" that just opens Firefox at a particular URL. This used to exist, but doesn't seem to happen for me anymore.

Well it's good to know it hasn't been removed, but I don't have that. Did you install from the Play store or from F-Droid, or somewhere else?

Here's my build info:

This comic is quite old and predates AI.

Back in May, Adam Something posted a brilliant video called "Why Centrism Won't Survive 2025" and he made a very convincing case. Toward the end, he lays into Starmer's Labour specifically, though he doesn't predict the rise of the Greens here.

Sadly, no. That game is definitely keyboard-only. Though I have played successfully with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse in the past.

Some games just don't lend themselves well to a controllers based input.

"Earn" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline.

FFS I hate how right you are.

The dominance of MIT and Apache over FSF licences like the GPL is really disheartening..

At first I thought: "that's a great idea! It'd be good to have these lying around when the revolution comes."

Then I remembered that I live in the UK, where the public are more likely to use these to round up and execute immigrants.
