Vague Brand New Animal spoilers (ep 6), personal/identity thoughts 

Thinking about these lines a bit regarding my feelings around "godhood".

How much of my desire to fix things and make a better world is self-righteousness? How much of it is just me wanting to personally feel better? What's the difference between feeling happier because others are happier, and wanting to feel happier by making the bad things in the world go away?

And what about "hard work"? What about the growth and understanding that comes through mistakes and turmoil? Removing those with the stroke of a brush would be supposing mistakes and struggles shouldn't exist, it would simply cause stagnation.

How I use a software is not an indication of how I want to use a software.
It’s what I’m doing with the options the software has given.

You know half of this wouldn't be such a hassle if you could just set new tabs to load the home page you set?

Like, why let me set a custom page for the home page, but new tabs only allow "Firefox Home"?

I wonder when they'll stop allowing custom pages, too?

Really hate how any time Firefox breaks userchrome because of some random background change (read: element rename) I then have to spend hours searching for solutions.

I have better things to be doing.

Anyway apparently -moz-binding got deprecated, thus breaking the dynamic loading of CSS and JS I was doing. This was apparently done in FF72, and yet it didn't rear its head until tonight's 72.0.1 zero-day patch.

Which makes no sense, but, wwwhaaaatever.

Computers!

Today's experience in trying to understand XInput and seeing it does some Thing with something called bit and shift operators:

I'm not sure these two are supposed to have this sort of reaction to a sorbet.
