Printing like to dead trees?

You could just use the system print dialog instead of Firefox's if that works better for you, I think it's possible to set it as default.

Two Israeli officials said the Israeli war cabinet approved ten days ago the parameters of a new proposal for a hostage deal, which are different from past aspects of deals rejected by Hamas and more forward-leaning than previous Israeli proposals.

This stuff really doesn't happen that quickly.

They have sold two 'tiers' of kindles for awhile, the one with ads on the lock screen is discounted.

It's not my favorite thing but iirc the lock screen is supposed to be the only place with ads.

It's a quote from the OP article.

By the UN definition, Hamas is a genocidal organisation. Its founding charter, published in 1988, explicitly commits it to obliterating Israel. Article 7 states that “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them”. Article 13 rejects any compromise, or peace, until Israel is destroyed. Hamas fighters who burst into Israel on October 7th and killed almost 1,200 Israelis (and other nationalities) were carrying out the letter of their genocidal law.

This doesn't seem like it would take a lot of research but it might be the first time I've heard about this charter.

It wasn't?
FTA

The trauma experienced by hundreds of thousands of children and their parents in Gaza will also have long-term debilitating effects, psychiatrists and psychologists have warned, particularly as there are no therapeutic facilities left. Few of Gaza’s hospitals are functioning any more, even for operating on the severely injured.

With an estimated 8,000 children killed in Gaza, and many tens of thousands more injured and orphaned, the UN children’s fund has said the Gaza Strip is “the most dangerous place in the world to be a child”.

It's from the earlier days of computing/portable devices where almost nothing had the sort of inter-connectivity we take for granted.

You'd download apps or music onto your PC and then 'sideload' them onto your PDA or MP3 players.
Sometimes this required both proprietary cables and software. (This is why some of us still get excited by simple USB ports)

a word for such things is 'dark patterns'
it's not designed to be liked but to keep the player returning habitually and upping so called "retention."

Not a drop of historical context

Guessing you missed the essay dated 1960.

Having the right cartridge available without trying to find a shop selling them is.

One of the obstacles in this is if your printer only takes a single brand of ink.
I usually just order ink, but it's not too hard to find ones compatible with my brother in a store if I need one immediately.

the majority of our country has better sense than to elect him president again.

The majority of country didn't elect him the first time and definitely isn't necessary to elect a president.
The presidency is decided by electoral college votes, not by the people's vote.
