Not to blow the joke, but I recently learned Orcas are in the dolphin family. I always thought they were porpoises myself

I too am skeptical.
Mozilla cares a lot about performance. It is monitored obsessively and there are entire teams dedicated to squeezing out every last drop of performance. Heaven and earth would be moved for a 30% perf boost. I'm guessing either there's some very severe tradeoffs to these prefs, or setting them somehow breaks the methodology used to obtain this number.
Edit: also benchmarks can be notoriously misleading. I don't have any opinions or knowledge on basemark (the benchmark used to get this 30% number), but speedometer v3 is the most state of the art and generally agreed upon benchmark for performance these days.
That doesn't mean the 30% number is bogus.. Just that it should be followed by "...on basemark" rather than implying it's conclusive to overall performance.
If they accepted a refund for the flights, it's probably too late unfortunately.
But for next time, airlines are required by law to rebook you in a timely manner. Even if it's on a competitor's flight. If they fail to do this, you can get home any way you choose then send them the invoice. If they refuse, small claims will force them to pay. Ideally record any conversations you have with them and keep all receipts.
He seemed mostly out of the news cycle the past four years, no? Apart from the occasional update from one of his trials.
This is the best take I've seen on the whole kerfuffle so far.
We as a species love to judge people based on their age. And it goes both ways. Us millenials will be as reviled as boomers are by the younger folks soon. And I'm sure more and more millenials like OP will make dumbass comments about those same young folks in return. It's the circle of life.
I too wish we could all judge people based on their actions rather than their age. But it'll never happen
So.. You want the default to be more tracking instead and then people need to opt in to get their privacy? 🤔
How do you fight it? Go around using it at every opportunity and have people think you're a far right sympathiser? They'll believe that before they believe you're simply passionate about symbols.
I don't think anyone is asking you to stop blocking ads. Block away!
I think the only request defenders of PPA are making, is please don't actively prevent it from making things better for everyone else.
Huge "I think about you all the time / I don't think about you at all" vibes.
You're absolutely correct.
Some folks here just want to ban ads outright, but don't stop to think what that would mean. The one that frightens me is what happens to the already crumbling news industry when they additionally lose all advertising revenue? And don't say subscriptions, because those won't come close to cutting it. Maybe a couple outlets like the Times could survive, but all the others are going under.
And it worked just as they intended.
