A quotation from Orwell

A thing is funny when — in some way that is not actually offensive or frightening — it upsets the established order. Every joke is a tiny revolution. If you had to define humour in a single phrase, you might define it as dignity sitting on a tin-tack. Whatever destroys dignity, and brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny. And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1945-07-28), “Funny, But Not Vulgar,” Leader Magazine

: I just wrote infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat… *three* times in Firefox for Android.

Switching to another browser or converting images causes Alzheimers in Firefox: my text and images (plus Alt text) are GONE.

I know that I should close more browser tabs, but loosing text I just entered is simply unacceptible. I'm now considering to switch to a dedicated Mastodon app, loathing the idea of having to read about and select a reasonable (privacy and security) Mastodon app.

AARRGGHH
