Does @waterfox.net support security keys (Yubikey) on Android yet? Its the one hold up from using Waterfox on Android. Currently use LibreWolf on Windows and Firefox on Android, but would prefer a uniform solution.

@librewolf.bsky.social Recent version or two make it almost impossible to connect to HTTP (no S) sites, with `Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode` & domain exceptions. Suspect the issue is tied to DNS CNAME to A record. Or the timeout for HTTP connection is too short.

First time ever in decades of road #running has someone almost #hit me with their #car, close enough I had to push off their hood to avoid going down! I kept running as I was on a roll (time wise) for the route. Oddly enough there was an ambulance in the same drive way only a couple metres away.

I am working on the edits of my second book and on the one hand every part of drafting and editing a book is painful and exhausting but on the other hand it’s one of the most satisfying and thrilling things I’ve ever done with my brain and I cannot IMAGINE outsourcing any part of it to a machine.

So what services and software can be relied on to not use AI? The BSDs, Linux, good ol' HP 15C & 16C, master chefs, classic flip-phones with 4G (where's Nokia 3310 when you need it), home stereos, martial arts, dog cuddles. Things built by thinkers and artists; where simple'n' sturdy has value.

#Dell & other laptop makers flog stupidly small arrow keys (even on large models) now. After the Enter key arrow keys are the most used in editing and games, they should be same size as regular keys. I have an old Dell Latitude 3330 laptop with a sane layout ideal for editing & normal size arrows.

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)
