I presume it's because when you copy a password to the clipboard, another app can view it.

I don't understand why it resets at universal jump engine. Is that the end of the game, or is there some way to end up in a different state? I got to the point where that was the only option left.

Does activity pub not use public key cryptography? (I don't know the answer to this but assumed it would have)

If each post is encrypted and signed by the author, and Sig chains are verified by servers when recieving updates that each link in the chain is an approved follower, then while posts could be more widely reshared by recipients, they wouldn't show up as from the original author, because the sharer and the Sig wouldn't match.

Seems to me this would be equivalent to using a centralised system like Facebook, where anyone with access to your posts can just copy paste to re share them.

It's a shame you don't get to see what the other person voted for, whether they thought you were a bot or a human.

Looking through that site, one of the things used to identify you is the value of the "do not track" header...

So the existence of that header actually makes tracking worse on the web

I agree, and on top of that Google products used to be, in my experience of top notch quality. But over the past couple of years I'm seeing more and more bugs in Google maps, chrome, and android. I think they've really let the quality bar slip. They were/are in such a dominant position it's taking a long time to crumble, but crumbling they seem to be, slowly but surely.

I've been staunchly on the Android side of the Android / iOS question, but this carry-on with refusing to block tracking like Apple has done is really making me consider switching.

I've looked for a way to print to a printer on Firefox mobile but have never found one and always have to switch to Chrome just to print.

Does anyone know if it's possible yet?

For anyone as confused as I was, peloton is the term for riding bicycles close together in a group. Not the brand of indoor exercise machines.

I wish they'd advertise it better. I use Firefox mobile and it's so much better than Chrome I'd hate to go back. If the mainstream were aware how much better advert-less browsing is, by using adblockers on Firefox mobile, that would probably solve the problem.

I'm also a fan of having the address bar at the bottom for easier reach, though I admit it's a niche thing that sounds like a gimmick.
