It is a weapon which must be wielded with care, I say.

I love how the hexbear emojis inline nicely across the fediverse that is 👌👨‍🍳

What I fear is other instances ripping off the idea and having a much weaker emoji game, though

Remember when Elon pretended to care about this and tweeted at the UN about how he'd give billions if they could produce a report showing how they could use $6 billion to help alleviate world hunger problems? And then he didn't do anything except self-deal?

Safari content blockers don't cover the entire phone like the OP was asking about.

You can't do better than that on iOS. But the PiHole still goes a long way. It made web browsing from my phone tolerable when combined with the content blockers from Firefox Focus.

It is something of a controversy to just be unaware that something can be done.

The iOS keyboard definitely has integrations that I never use, but I am just learning that you can, in fact, download wholesale keyboard apps on iOS as well. Skimming them through, they have a ridiculous number of installs (judging by the number of reviews) and atrocious privacy policies. The last part is concerning! 😅

What's the deal with Android "keyboards"? Why is it just an app that you can install? And why can it have more functionality/permissions from the OS beyond just being a local keyboard? As an iOS user this is very bizarre and foreign to me.

I feel like every time the topic of Android keyboards (again, why is this a thing?) comes up it's some kind of big spyware thing. Seems like most every app on Android and iOS is spyware anyway, of course.

I am not graphically inclined in the slightest, but about 7 years ago I used Inkscape to make a stylistic depiction of the Pyramids at Giza. Since that moment I've always had a fondness for Inkscape :)

The headline makes it sound like it was because of the Teamsters deal. Typical liberal ploy. The article summarily points out two factors for lower revenue. 1) Customers that went with competitors to mitigate risk in case of a strike and 2) lower volume of sales due to shift in consumer spending habits toward "travel, movies, eating out and live events"

And if you thought there was any reason to be nervous about anything, no. It's truly business as usual.

Despite the lower revenue and earnings guidance, the company said it expects to stick with its plan to pay $5.4 billion in dividends and repurchases of $3 billion in shares.

That's so frustrating and stupid. When I bought my latest mouse I went with a Zowie specifically because you can change the relevant DPI/polling rate functions with a button right underneath the mouse. It's simple. It doesn't require a proprietary third party application or website on my computer. And usually those things don't even work with Linux, not that I would want them in any OS.
