My red heart emoji (❤️) looks weird in #Firefox

This has been the case for quite a while now and I cannot for the life of my figure out why that is. I never explicitly made it this way.
It's only in Firefox and a machine with pretty much the exact same #NixOS config does not exhibit this issue.

I tried clearing unused fonts out of \~/.local/share/fonts/ (no emoji fonts remain) and updated the fc-cache but it didn't help. (Obviously I restarted Firefox.)

Any ideas?

This is how a #brompton EZ clamp spring looks like after a decent few months of usage.

As you can see, it's quite compressed now and, as a result, not springy enough to hold the clamp up properly anymore.

That lifespan is not bad by any means (easy enough to re-print) but does that happen to y'all too or is it just me?

It's also just the handlebar one; the other is holding up fine.

I remember seeing a variant of this which had an actual metal spring inside; I might look into that.

After a bit of confusion, I found out why my #Firefox was being laggy on some website despite me turning off Javascript.

Turns out I had set layers.acceleration.disabled while debugging V-Sync.

What this setting does is effectively disable hardware acceleration for a core component of page compositing; making everything laggy.

Mess with settings in a dedicated guinea profile people!

Meine kostenlosen 125MB Datenvolumen im Familienvertrag sind wohl doch nicht kostenlos; ich brauche einen neuen Mobilfunkvertrag.

Schlappe 20€/GB/Mo, wtf?!

125MB ist wenig, aber für meine Zwecke fast ausreichend.
1GB wär denk ich mein sweet spot; ggf. 2GB.
Telefonie mach ich seltenst, SMS brauch ich nur für 2FA codes.

Der beste, den ich bisher gefunden habe, ist Congstars "Prepaid wie ich will" bei 2€/GB/Mo.

Telekom Netz bevorzugt; zur not auch Vodafone. Kein Telefonica.

Printed myself an EZ clamp spring for my #brompton at @cccda yesterday; a must-have for any @brompton rider!
