This is not choosing between different models, really. You should check the (interesting, yet sadly very slop-padded) readme. It’s about trying to make a binary decision: Is this a hard or easy question, and about making that decision extre

OTOH, that’s probably how they got rich, and why I’ll never be.

We are a very small company, and have always had far more Firefox than Safari users. And though they get by via dominance, IE style bundling of the browser to the OS is toxic, so good riddance.

Depends on the region, no one where I work has an iPhone or a current Mac, so stuff gets tested on FF and Chrome, and Safari gets thoughts and prayers. We would test on Safari if it were simple, but alas.

Sample size of 1, but my primary connection is my state (SH) in Germany, then European. I feel less of a connection to my country. There was a map some time ago about who had what connections on the regional, country, and EU level. Iirc EU

Reading the Wikipedia page (including the originally projected end date of 2026), it sounds a bit worse. Probably not Germany bad, but I wouldn't bet on the 4 years either.

Being missing means they haven’t been tested, not that they don’t work. Generally they probably only don’t work if they require the google play verification thingy

Clearly inspired by HN, there are few sites where I have to zoom in to get any kind of readability ;)

Thought the name seems familiar: Jake Adelstein got his 2009 memoir Tokyo Vice turned into a (fun to watch, apparently very dramatized, though that was already criticized for the memoirs) 2 season HBO series in 2022.

My wife is black and has sensitive skin. She once tried zinc oxide sunscreen. If one wants to be protected from the sun while cosplaying as purple monster, it's a great choice.

They do? Arch exploded in popularity, but the forums were full of warnings. My favorite Aur helper (pikaur) also asked you to check the PKGBUILD on every install or update, back when I used Arch.

My guess: A lot of fastmail fans here. And people often upvote stuff from companies they like. FM often(ish) posts blog posts that are very low key, sometimes they make it on HM, sometimes they don't.

Opened. Had some typing animation make the page jump around because the text would switch between one and two lines. Closed the slop. The frequency of these things certainly rose with AI.

The look only seems minimal as well. I need to zoom in to read, which eventually destroys the layout. A minimal website has at least basic accessibility by default, this uses some kind of "modern" styling stuff to ruin it.

At least in Germany, many banks still offer alternatives. You’ll need to buy dedicated hardware like a chipcard reader. Alternatively, keep a cheap smartphone around with nothing but the banking app on it.

This [0] seems to be the main meta bug, with [1] being for CSS and [2] for JS, for FF to ship it without the flag. There seems to be slow work towards it, kinda funny that FF was the first browser to have it (flag-gated, according to CIU) a

That should be most? Unless you do very weird stuff like using strings in JS to call functions, or reflection in C# and similar very special cases, any IDE can handle that.

I tried it, sadly it suffers from the same issues as uMatrix: Some things silently fail. I had hoped the fork was updated for modern browsers, but it doesn’t look like it. An example is fastmail, the service worker gets blocked from some re
