Generally, no. If a person has access to your home folder, it doesn’t matter if site-data is site-data or some UUID, the person can still look around and find that data. How to do so would be on the internet, in the source code for Firefox.

Firefox simplifies its engineering efforts and makes site-data clearly visible to the proper user by relying on the system’s security measures instead of inventing its own bespoke ones.

While probably true, it’s not like I can trust Guinness World Records on this.

Both Valve and Epic are private companies and thus have a bit more of a say over what they do than public companies would. Sweeney actually just answers to himself, and I mean that pejoratively, otherwise he would have invested in EGS more to compete with Steam and focused more on Unreal Engine’s near-monopoly in the AAA space.

Instead, he focused on “owning” the metaverse, and courting crypto. If I were a shareholder, I would say he wasn’t acting in my best interests.

Finally.

Good.

Yep. Godot and Blender I think

Reopening the government without ACA subsidies literally kills people when they can’t afford their new premiums. There are people for whom affordable access to healthcare is the difference between life-saving medication and, well, the lack of that.

Starvation of people on SNAP is also literally the GOP’s stated goal. If Dems fund the government and let those people who need healthcare die, the GOP isn’t going to play nice and keep funding SNAP. They’re gonna gut it like they’ve always dreamt of doing anyway. They already signaled this with the BBB.

You would have missed it for a while, but people complained and they’re bringing it back immediately

I know this is a tiny percentage overall, but it’s a very substantial boost to the Linux percent, perhaps correlating with Win10 losing free security updates, and a minority of savvy gamers swapping to Linux. (Myself included, so obviously bias to my statement)

Yeah, I chose it since it’s at least local-only. Much higher doubt Apple can ever take that integration from me - and if they do, I can just stay on a Home Assistant version that doesn’t.

I swapped from Nest to Ecobee. Working in Home Assistant via HomeKit entirely on my local net. All is well. Thanks Google!

Recently was given an Ecobee smart thermostat. Ecobee does not have a great integration for Home Assistant, but Home Assistant can act like an Apple HomeKit hub, and if you provision the smart thermostat through that, it is entirely local.
