Why does the "bubbleness" of a soapy solution reduces over time ?

My kid got a little round box of soapy solution at the fairground with a wire loop to blow bubbles with. She was pretty excited with it for few minutes, then lost interest. Kept it on her desk when she got back home.

The next morning, she tried to blow some more bubbles with it, but the soapy solution appeared to be as dead as plain water, i.e. zero bubbles came out when she tried with the wire loop.

What kills the "bubbleness" of soapy solution over time ? The concentration of the remaining solution should've remained the same since the box was closed shut overnight.

Rant about Google Play "Protect"

Why does Google Play Protect stop me from sideloading apks (from, say, Obtainium) while almost regularly I read reports about malicious apps being available in Google Playstore itself ? Why do they allow those ?

Probably just a rant out of frustration. I ignore those alerts if I am confident about the apk I'm sideloading, lol.

ELI5 for Firefox : Difference between sandbox / site isolation / total cookie protection / first party isolation / multi account container

Basically what the title says. As far as tech knowledge goes, I am probably a 3.5 or 4 out of 10. Hence the ELI5 request.

I am a Firefox browser user, both in my Android phone as well as Windows device - for the same reason as many others ditched Chrome and chose FF (degoogle and all).

Recently I came to know about Fission being offered in FF nightly. It is said that site isolation with fission is far from ready, and this is probably one of the areas where chromium beats it. I read somewhere that FF fission uses multiple processes to separate sites, but they are not really "isolated processes".

All these is surely not making me less confused about how exactly sandboxing/fission/FPI/TCP differ as far as Firefox is considered, so thought of asking this here.

Posting this in the ELI5 community might've been more "correct", but my question being specifically around Firefox, I thought the chances of getting a better answer is higher here.

Apologies if not, and thanks in advan

  • As a Brit, it was probably our fault in the not too distant past.

    Yep. You deserve that honor for almost every frigging nation in the Commonweath, lol.

  • I hope they make this extension available for Firefox Android too. That'd relieve me of using two browsers in my phone, one for logged-in business (excluded from VPN) and the other for general browsing (with VPN).

    Period.

    Anyone knows when generic search will be implemented in Jerboa ?

    Jerboa sorely lacks the absolute basic feature of searching for keywords in posts. It only supports searching for community names. I can't think of any other Lemmy app that does NOT support general search.

    I came to know that there is an issue open in Github for over 3 years now, but no clue as to whether it is been worked on.

    Totally respecting the personal times of the volunteer developers who are making Jerboa an awesome app - at the same time the lack of this basic feature stops me from calling Jerboa my favorite.

  • Understood. Thanks for clarifying.

  • I wouldn't call a half-baked search functionality as "minor" but that's probably just me.

  • "I love you.... er...no I don't....ok I do... nah I don't think so...."

    So Voyager for me, mostly because it has the most active developer.

    When my printer’s type began to grow faint,

    I called a local repair shop, where a friendly man informed me that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged $50 for such cleanings, he told me I might be better off reading the printer’s manual and trying the job myself.

    Pleasantly surprised by his honesty, I asked, “Does your boss know that you discourage business?”

    “It’s my boss’s idea,” the employee replied sheepishly. “We usually make more money on repairs if we let people try to fix things themselves first.”

    সেই ২০২১ জানুয়ারির ঝামেলাটার পরে আমিই ওকে ফোন করে বলেছিলাম - দেখ, তোমার হাতে পার্টির কয়েক হাজার ক্যাডার আছে মানেই যে তাদের লেলিয়ে দিতে হবে এমন কোন কথা নেই। এই তো আমিও কতবার গলায় রক্ত তুলে বলে এসেছি যে ছিপিএম সায়েন্টিফিক রিগিং করেছে, বুথ দখল করেছে, পোলিং এজেন্ট ঠেঙিয়েছে, তাই বলে কি আমি বিধানসভার বাইরে আমার দলীয় কর্মীদের লাঠিসোঁটা রামদা হাতে দিয়ে ছেড়ে এসেছি ? মামাটি গরমেন্ট হল সহিষ্ণুতার গরমেন্ট। কথায় কথায় দাঙ্গা শুরু করে দিলে কি করে চলবে ? মারকাটারি মনোবৃত্তিটা শুধু ধরে রাখতে হবে। নইলে কি আর কুণাল ববি এরা আমার জন্য গুলির সামনে বুক পেতে দেবার জন্য মুখিয়ে নেই ?

    গুলি বলতে মনে পড়ল, ওই যে ছেলেটাকে ওদের পুলিশ ছাদে উঠে মারল, ওর কোন বন্ধুবান্ধব যদি থাকে যার বন্দুকের টিপ একই রকম মারাত্মক, বলে বলে ঠিক আমার কানের পাশ দিয়ে চালাতে পারবে - তাহলে আমাকে জানিও তো। ২০২৬-র বিধানসভা প্রচারে বেরিয়ে হালকা রক্তপাত ভালোই সিমপ্যাথি ভোট আনবে। শুধু হুইলচেয়ার আর পায়ে প্লাস্টার দিয়ে হচ্ছে না।
