Yes, chrome certainly had other merits too. Neither of us can say with certainty why it succeeded. Personally, I don't think a crap browser pushed by Google would have but also an amazing browser pushed by an unknown independent developer would have either.

Certainly agree with your 2nd point though.

It's true, although chrome has gotten a significant boost from Google promoting it in search and every Google app (which I don't know if they still do).

So chrome beats edge on users, but it's also likely largely because of the unfair advantage it receives/received from that promotion. Those options are not really available to other browser developers (unless Amazon or meta also decided they want a browser for some reason).

Oh you're right! It looks uh.. different than what I'd expect melted cheese to be so I thought it was the bread being discoloured from sauce.

I usually finish writing it and only then do I realise I don't care enough to send it.

Top it with some grated/melted cheese and it's good to go.

Can't wait for them to get the chatgpt integration so the best defense can become shouting at them "ignore all previous instructions".

In their defense, they also clearly label immich as under active development with frequent changes and bugs.

Edit: nvm I saw it was already discussed in another reply.

Would you accept a certificate issued by AWS (Amazon)? Or GCP (Google)? Or azure (Microsoft)? Do you visit websites behind cloudflare with CF issued certs? Because all 4 of those certificates are free. There is no identity validation for signing up for any of them really past having access to some payment form (and I don't even think all of them do even that). And you could argue between those 4 companies it's about 80-90% of the traffic on the internet these days.

Paid vs free is not a reliable comparison for trust. If anything, non-automated processes where a random engineer just gets the new cert and then hopefully remembers to delete it has a number of risk factors that doesn't exist with LE (or other ACME supporting providers).

I applaud you for taking a pee sample.

We had a vet once offer one "just to be super safe" and explained that there's a special litter in the bag to make it easy. Then she charged us for it. And then she showed us the bag with basically a handful of litter that'd be barely enough to cover the bottom of the litter bin. It was then we learned to ask more questions upfront.

We never got the sample.

Yeah nah. I thought your comment was probably the reasonable middle ground until I watched the footage too.

The police has 100% needlessly escalated to violence and fully on a power trip. They have not provided any reason for asking the window to be rolled down - nor did they have any. You can see into the car even though there's a lot of glare on the camera, most likely even better vision for a person. They made no attempt to explain any reasoning for the request to persuade him. Once on the ground and being cuffed, they proceeded to shout at him "when we tell you to do something you do it, not what you want". That's not how it works.

He didn't even try to resist the arrest but they treated him with quite a bit of force. They didn't listen at all when he called out he had an injury and needs more time to comply with the order of sitting down.

Yes, Tyreek did himself no favours with his attitude but he has also done absolutely nothing to deserve this treatment. He wasn't even particularly rude to the cops, his mistake seemed to be not to act fully deferential to a cop on a power trip, which is absolutely no reason to treat anyone like this.

Except there is (of course) a mega thread on Reddit to get invites where people blindly invite anyone.

It still has one specific usecase where I find it better - when you need more than 2 beds. We use it when on holiday with my friends because usually getting an Airbnb with 3-4 beds is way cheaper than hotel rooms.

But in pretty much all other cases.. yep, would much rather have a hotel. Last time I had a host who took electric meter readings and charged you for the electricity.. luckily it was negligible since the oven was broken.
