Wow, that's some extraordinary condescension. They/them/their has been seeing broad adoption as a, y'know, actually gender-neutral pronoun, and it should be encouraged. I know some people prefer he/him/his bu

I love the focus on how the Whitehouse/NSA/FBI sites are vulnerable. Someone could use this to attack the White House! https://xkcd.com/932/

Aha, that's really reassuring, thank you =)

Right, but that's relying on the OS to lock the attacker out, and you can do that without encryption -- the point of encryption is that even if someone bypasses the operating system and reads the disk directly, they can't read you

How much of a point is there to device encryption anyway? I have a four-digit PIN -- if someone has access to my phone aren't they just going to try 10,000 PINs and crack the phone pretty much instantly? EDIT: according to x0x0 things

Maybe they have query logging turned on and saw what queries the attacker ran?

That's a really damning Yahoo screenshot and it matches my experience pretty well. Yahoo is not an acceptable search platform and I'm really confused about why Mozilla thinks otherwise.

Cannabis has a ridiculously high LD50, everyone knows that. When I think "is cannabis safe" I'm not wondering if I'm one day going to smoke so much weed that I keel over dead, I'm wondering if habitual marijuana u

That's my current best guess too. Which would imply that Firefox users are...fine? Hopefully?

by MBlume 12y ago
Sure, but I assume Mozilla doesn't recognize the Lenovo adware, so if all the web traffic is being routed through this proxy, shouldn't firefox have squawked?

I'm confused; if Firefox doesn't use the system certificates, shouldn't Firefox users have been seeing visibly broken HTTPS from day one?

I wound up reading the piece in Instapaper. To say this undermined the author's point would be an understatement...

Can I just take a moment to say that this is all a success story? Firefox was old and busted, slow and unstable, Chrome was the new hotness, now Chrome is starting to get long in the tooth, but in that time Firefox has been spurred on to ge

I find it interesting how much agreement there is, not just that OS X is now declining, but that Snow Leopard in particular was the high point.

I think I probably don't understand the Cargo Way yet? Here's a thing that always confuses me -- is there a way to specify a rust version that my project intends to target in my Cargo.toml, or am I stuck with a global rust install
