Not really, they're still using them. Just not as obviously. They'd be even more distracted trying to hide it and focus on everything at the same time.

Yeah good luck with that... Even if it was agreed upon it is effectively unenforceable without resorting to essentially temporary theft as we see today, causing the students to hide their phones even better.

As a brit, it absolutely is state-run in every way except the technicallity of the employees not being government workers and having a semi-indepdent structure, it is undeniably linked to the british government by nature, history, and practicality.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion, subscribed.

I'll say it for everyone (and myself), NSFW communities. Reddit is still effectively king for that, at least for now.

Here in the UK we just drink straight from the (cold water only by law due to differring regulations) tap without boiling and that's been the case for decades at the least across the entire nation. There's just no need to boil the water here unless you are cooking.

It's also safe in Iceland, I went there and their water is crystal clear and pure since it's sraight from the glaciers. You could drink out of a random stream there.

That's just my werid phrasing, I mean the non-chromium branch that is Firefox and its backend.

I run a dark theme by default, first load of google.com in chrome is functionally indentical in performance as I said. Statistically there is a difference, probably only 0.1 - 0.25s max faster load in Chrome but it's not reliable at all in the few tests I did quick (t's 4am), so something that does not effect function itself, only form, makes me still correct in what I said originally.

Pixel 6a, it's functional, effective, decent quality, budget, etc. That's it really.

I run at 16GB of RAM and have 40+ tabs open 24/7. There are zero RAM issues, you need to plug your leaks.

Mostly having the centralized backbone of chromium makes people uncomfortable since it can do a lot from behind the scenes if it wanted to. But the raw base form is pretty much fine AFAIK, it's just very rare among browsers to do so.
