I wonder if this is something that will help bring Firefox usage numbers up to what they should be. Since so many Firefox users are privacy focused and resist fingerprinting, a lot of users don't show up in usage numbers. Maybe there aren't enough of them to make a difference, I don't know. Thus is the only non-nefarious usage I could think up.

The OP discusses exactly a solution to the anyone setting up an instance to capture the data, because the users home instance federates their votes anonymously.

There maybe flaws in it, not that's exactly what it aims to solve.

This is the main thing preventing me, and probably a good amount of other folks, from using alternative roms. If I can get all the apps I need to run, then I can't use the rom, even if I would prefer it.

Not seeing it on f-droid yet.

I do not like this prediction, because it seems like a plausible reality. Which would be awful.

Same here. Took my lighter leaving Vegas as well. Took it right through on the way there. Wtf?

This is what gets me the most. It's totally arbitrary, every time it's a chance for new rules. What you brought one way maybe a problem on your way home.

Id be curious the surface area of those million population centers? Lots of the US is very spread out even for "cities" only the old cities on the East Coast have significant density.

Vintage is 25+ years, antique is 100. That's the guidance of physical items typically. Seems to fit here as well, IMO.

Such useful features. They should be built-in. But I'm glad they're serviced separately so we get updates outside windows update cadence.

It's a balance, but too many people don't even flag it to management because they're lazy and they write shit and ship it to get it off their own plate.

Now, if management says ship it anyway it's a balance of you as a developer making sure they understand they're throwing this technical debt on the credit card and it may (probably) need to be paid off later. If you fail to articulate the interest that'll be due later then you didn't do enough or management is bad.

You shouldt work unpaid to fix it, but sometimes you should just do it right even if it takes longer because it's how it should be done.

I have done it as my main job and I echo your sentiment. It's inevitable that sometimes you have to meet a deadline or get something more important working first, but if you write bad code because you are lazy or unwilling to read the docs to do it right, shame shame shame.
