I've had a Microsoft account for a long time, since back when I worked in Xbox customer support. As an open source nerd, I have no love for them, but since I had some things that would cost money to replace on that account, I kept it alive.
I haven't logged into it since I transitioned. Today, for the first time, I had an excuse to. Some friends have a Minecraft server, and I hadn't touched Minecraft in years. But I was bored, so I thought “eh why not?” Apparently, Minecraft requires a Microsoft account to use now. So I thought “fine, I'll use my old MS account, better than making a new one” and did the account migration.
While I was in there, I figured it would be best to do all the name updates I hadn't done. Changing the name, email, phone number, et al on the parent MS account was easy enough. Same with the Xbox account, where most of the aforementioned purchases lived. But then I saw my Skype profile.
The other day @rose@503junk.house posted this thread about Firefox and how she likes to set it up. It got me thinking that I should share my Firefox setup in full, for those looking for a privacy respecting, simple, comfy browser experience. Some of my opinions will differ from hers, and honestly she's smarter than me so maybe listen to her, I'm just old and set in my ways. But if you're curious, join me on a journey into about:config.
The first Dead Kennedys record I heard was Frankenchrist. I was 14 or so and decided to check them out after seeing plenty of back patches and t-shirts from kids in the punk scene. I was at the record store, and the only cassette they had in stock was Frankenchrist. I didn't have a CD player, or if I did, it wasn't portable. So I went with Frankenchrist on cassette. I remember being mildly confused by the cover.
