When Firefox started recording key strokes

Source? That’s news to me, and when I tried finding a source myself, all I found were extensions etc. to add that to the browser.

EDIT: Both the comment I replied to, and a comment replying to me by the same person, have been deleted…were they caught in a lie/mistake and not brave enough to admit it? lol

This is a very good way for a lot of terrible people to fly completely under the radar. There isn’t a(n accurate) ‘child molester’ stereotype—you do victims no favor by making assumptions like these.

how many women have been inappropriately approached by adult men.

This isn’t actually a useful metric for drawing any conclusions about men, objectively speaking.

The typical woman has met thousands upon thousands of men in her life; if she was inappropriately approached by as few as a single one of them, on a single occasion, she now falls in the ‘women that have been inappropriately approached by adult men’ category. It’s very easily possible for the percentage of such women to be as high as literally 100%, while simultaneously, the percentage of men making those inappropriate approaches is far, far below 1%.

Also, it merits mentioning that the number of victims should not be assumed to equal the number of perpetrators. The kind of man to do this sort of thing is certain to be several different women’s ‘man who inappropriately approached me’. This also widens the gap between the actual percentage of men doing this, and what may be assumed based on individual personal experiences.

One thing you could take as a data point is what searches are most common on Pornhub.

Neither ‘barely legal’ nor anything adjacent to it even made the top search list in 2024. On the other hand, there are several entries in that list that imply older women (e.g. milf, step mom, teacher).

As an aside, I was also intrigued to see that “wife” made the list.

So we had sex one more time

I remember the joke that Microsoft called it that deliberately so that if people wrote “I hate ME” it wouldn’t sound like they were trashing the OS.

You thought that because the headline is pretty deliberately misleading. Clickbait trash.

The article is clear the broken update effects a specific subset of enterprise users, on a specific mix of base versions and cumulative updates.

So you admit the headline is lying, then? The headline doesn’t even try to use weasel words to say “some users”, it just straight-up says that the update removes things, heavily implying both that it’s a global change, and that it’s deliberate.

It isn’t necessary.

That’s not the number of people using Amazon, that’s the number of people paying for a premium subscription service on top of their Amazon usage. No one, whether they buy things on Amazon or not, needs Prime.

That is the point they’re making.

No, it doesn’t. My comment was nothing more than a grammatical correction, that “opinion” is not what you call an unsupported assertion/claim; that’s not what the word means.

I was not engaged in the underlying argument, at all, yet your response is a sputtering, indignant tirade about how I’m shifting the burden of proof, etc.

Read more carefully.

Pay more attention to who you’re replying to. Your comment makes zero sense directed at me.

No evidence of your claims and thus it is your opinion

Nerd time, but:

That’s not how it works. Opinions are subjective by definition. An assertion without evidence is not an “opinion”.

Is there another more ‘generic’ German term that would fit when talking about this period of time in retrospect? So you could have one line that says the German equivalent of ‘he was the leader in Germany during this time period, commonly referred to by the title Fuhrer’, and then no need to keep using “Fuhrer” anymore in the rest of the article.

replaces the ghillie suit model with a suit made of traffic cones

lol

Yeah, there are a lot of comparisons like these that at least partially break down when you don’t consider the way the US is set up, re state governments.

Another big example is minimum wage. While the federal minimum is $7.25, it is a very small minority of places where it’s even possible to find (above-board, of course; if you work under the table, all bets are off) work at that low a wage, both because of the above (state minimum is higher) and because other market forces essentially negate it as the minimum, even in most places where $7.25 is in fact the legal minimum wage.
