What the hell is 'bad dopamine'? [Online ads are literally making up 'science' now]
A random ad for a popular app reveals just how badly science is being distorted (i.e. lied about) in the name of marketing, in ways that can affect us all.

open.substack.comWhat the hell is 'bad dopamine'? [Online ads are literally making up 'science' now]There are rules and regulations, however inadequate or poorly enforced, about making scientific claims in adverts. Unless it's online. Then you can just make sh*t up

I posted a job on one of those platforms asking for something impossible (but I didn't realise). The ten software engineers that applied clearly didn't realise either. The one guy who I invited to consider the job, turned it down and explained why it was impossible. He saved me (to me) a lot of money. He turned down payment. If I need any android software/app development doing in the future, he'll be getting first refusal!
Firefox 138 introduces the long-awaited profile manager
Firefox 138, released this Tuesday (29th), introduces the long-awaited profile manager. The official documentation explains that “creating multiple profiles allows you to keep separate browsing data, themes or settings for different purposes, such as work and personal use.”
