Someone who has zero experience in vaccine development should not be influencing the approval process. This will kill people.

I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time today looking at the example pseudocode in the MQTT spec for how they implement variable byte integers. Intellectually, I know the odds of this are tiny, given how widely used the spec is, and then probably missing something, but I can’t convince myself that the pseudocode isn’t just wrong.

Weird. I realized that firefox on my linux computer wasn't synced with firefox on my macbooks or my phone, so i did that.

Somehow, doing that undid dark mode settings in Firefox on both macbooks *AND* globally, affecting other programs, on one macbook.

How the hell does that happen?
