@dotakehr Danke :) Fast noch schöner als das Lied sind die Antworten von Leuten, denen weitere Reime auf Charakter einfallen
@Fr333k @seecurity oh. Almost forgot Metalab. Great, thanks!!
I will be in Vienna later this month. The internet recommendations are too plentiful for my 1½ days. Any recommendations on what not to miss? :)
@dale @mikerspencer trmnl is a cool device, but wasn’t the owner something inappropriate, something maga or anti-diversity? :(
TIL the favicon for https://lobste.rs (@lobsters ) is eerily similar to Lenovo.com :D
@skade that sounded very american... anyway: Vorfreude
@skade pile of shame? I call it pile of opportunities
@DenJohn Reminds me of the Spread Firefox campaign for the 1.0 in 2004. People would share links with their name as referral (eg as an 88x31 gif on their homepage) and there was a leaderboard of how many people downloaded Firefox per referral :)

@Sikorsky78 There are discussions in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1877421 and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1930991. The fact that the operation is so implicit may cause some real friction for users who don't understand why it's happening or if the feature accidentally breaks some URLs.

I think just implementing the pref and letting people do it themselves might help gauge the real interest across our user base, but it's not a super high priority thing tbh.

1877421 - Add pref to swap clean copy and regular copy option
