You can literally customise it to show the home button. I know because I have done this.

Some websites are much worse than others. https://astro.build/ as an example. Try scrolling up and down on that website on Firefox vs Chrome (mobile).

It was the distinct lack of autocorrect 😜 For years now I have disabled autocorrect for this reason. Yes, I still make some small mistakes here and there but it forces me to be careful with what I type and to quickly check before I send. That way I don't have a situation where I've typed something expecting autocorrect to save me but it doesn't.

I've been using Firefox on desktop and mobile exclusively for a number of years now. I will say the experience isn't perfect but it's better than using a browser made by a company that is actively hostile to its users.

It is important to take note that you will experience issues with some websites. For example, https://astro.build/ Try scrolling quickly up and down on this page on Firefox vs Chrome (on mobile).

Does anyone have/anyone seen commentary regarding the fact that in the days before the firing, OpenAI suspended signups to ChatGPT Plus? It seems relevant but I've not seen anyone make that connection.

It's true, but being a close 2nd behind Apple for most valuable public company by market cap is not a bad place to land despite it.

My understanding is that HDR formats utilise 10-bit color formats rather than being strictly equivalent.

From Wikipedia:

HDR video refers to a video encoded in an HDR format. Thoses HDR video have a greater bit depth, luminance and color volume than standard dynamic range (SDR) video which uses a conventional gamma curve.

As it alludes, HDR is more than just a 10-bit color space. Encoding anime in 10-bit doesn't take advantage of the greater luminance or dynamic range. It does take advantage of the color space to minimise banding.

They've committed to investing $10B into OpenAI. The engineering cost of swapping out the Bing integration wouldn't even register.

Massive self-own on the part of the OpenAI board and possibly one of the biggest conceivable wins for Microsoft in a long time. Microsoft has it's hand in both pies (OpenAI and Sam&co) and also has significant developments on the chip side too. Is this the turning point we'll look back on when Microsoft dominates the AI space?

This could have been prevented if there was a good toddler with a gun.

I'm no expert either, this is just what I know from experience and through people smarter than me on the internet. I've put together some resources below for you. Apologies for the reddit links, it's just where this content lives.

encoding 10bit reduces the amount of truncation errors during the encoding, which leads to a much smaller filesize despite the two additional bits. To the point where, despite it storing more information, there being less truncation errors offsets the filesize gain to the point where you get similar or even smaller sizes than 8bit encodes.

Thank you to everyone who recommended soulseek! I've been looking for a platform that has hard to find, high-quality music and after a quick look at the software it looks very promising. I'll report back if I've had any obscure songs I cannot find.
