    I'll defend them. Like pushing for vegan diets, solar energy, and the end of single use plastics. It's annoying, it's not fun but in the long run it's to make the world better for average people.

    I don't know the standard but if Google is involved you know they are going to be pushing people to use their own 'extensions' of the standard to lock both the hosts and users into their ecosystem. It's the same thing as Microsoft's ActiveX making sites IE only in the early 2000s.

    Most people don't have the manual dexterity or mechanical intuition to get into trades. Millwrighting, welding, plumbing and electrician-ing all require a person who is clever enough to understand and repair equipment that they have only just seen. Most people have a hard time applying a screen protector for a phone they have owned for months.

    Domestic manufacturing is where Canada/USA should be aiming to create jobs. All skill levels are required and automated facilities still need humans. The positions are a lot more varied now, with most tasks being those that would require expensive vision systems or minor problem solving. Domestic manufacturing might help with some of the bull shit global supply chain issues as well.

    I love an IPA but you need to have a pallet cleanser from time to time. I'm a big fan of 'Purity Law' beers, they tend to be predictable, mellow flavour, and light to medium alcohol content. Perfect for lawn mowing, BBQing, or working on the car.

    Being logged out on refresh, Firefox

    I am experiencing weird behavior on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.ca where refreshing, or closing and reopening my browser, will cause me to be logged out. This seems to be an issue with my browser, Firefox 102.13 on Debian Bookworm, but it does not happen with any other sites with logins. I have tried clearing cookies and site data but nothing changed. I have also tried with Chromium and the problem does not occur so this is related to Firefox or some setting within. If any one has experienced the same or has an idea what setting might be causing this I'd love to hear from you. Regardless, thanks for the platform! *edit: ~~Just to fuck with me, after a week of consistent "refresh -> logout" the behaviour is no longer reproducible.~~ **Still being logged out if I refresh or close/open the browser.** The internet is cruel, laughs at you when you are naked, but you keep coming back for more, and more! Why? Because she is the only prostitute I can afford.*
