  • I didn't know about this episode, which I read about on Wikipedia today

    In 2001, Sinéad O'Connor reported MacGowan to the police in London for drug possession, in what she said was an attempt to discourage him from using heroin. At first furious, MacGowan later expressed gratitude towards O'Connor and claimed that the incident helped him kick his heroin habit.

  • Instagram Suspends Presidential Candidate Jill Stein Account: Raises Concerns About Policy Enforcement

  • For a while I was a bit confused, because Mozilla said they would also implement V3 Manifest ...

    by implementing Manifest V3 on its own terms, Mozilla saves developers who are switching to the new platform from having to support two different versions of their extensions (for Google Chrome and Firefox) at the same time. On the other hand, it allows content-blocking extensions that were originally built using the less restrictive Manifest V2 to continue working at full tilt.

  • A friend of mine worked at McDonald's for a while. The amount of people who take that as license to treat retail workers like shit is quite unbelievable. And indeed: When customers hurl racial or homophobic slurs the manager basically says the customer is king.

    I always wondered why they have such high turnover?!? /s
