I really don't think, it got safer. It takes some special talent, even as an adult, to take such a big bite off of a classic Kinder egg that you'd have any chance of accidentally swallowing the plastic capsule or somehow else hurt

They marketed it as a new thing beside the original here in Germany. Most people seem to prefer the original, though. They lost a lot of charm by going from toy+edible+tinfoil to plastic+toy+plastic+edible+plastic spoon+plastic.

They did that in a rather smart way, too, by diverging it enough from the original that they could sell it elsewhere as a new thing. I mean, it never really took off here, very few people prefer it over the original, but better than not bei

The tiles change as you reload. It's in there like this: There's no ROI (return on investment) on deploying IPv6.

They could inject malicious code or even just ads into those http assets and therefore compromise the https connection. I also don't necessarily think that we need https for everything, but it's better to err on the safe side and

I don't have a Chromecast, so no idea how well this works, but you could probably install VLC and tell NewPipe to "Use external video player" (in the settings) and then have VLC send it over to your Chromecast. One big proble

I mean, they're not, according to their own ToS (or even their own interpretation of it). It says something in there along the lines of video and audio may not be separated. On the basis of which, they ran a witch hunt on all 3rd party

Come to Firefox, we have actual human beings that look at the source code of new or updated extensions and a strict no telemetry policy (unless the user opts in).

Probably when they have large enough marketshare that they can afford to piss off webpage owners without those being able to stop supporting them.

You could for example bucket them based on the last digit of their IP address. So, everyone whose IP address ends in 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 gets the new version, everyone else gets the old version. You don't need to store the IP address for t

The least number of them use it voluntarily. It's usually in bigger corporations where it's set as default browser and even if you have an option of installing a different browser, there's no way of getting into the intranet

You might be using it instead of APT for some things, but it won't replace APT. Say you want the newest version of LibreOffice for whatever reason. This is a typical use-case where Snaps will come in handy. They have most dependencies

Which in my perception is still not nearly as hard as other industries would have been punished for similar crimes. I did not claim that they don't get punished at all.

Probably, yeah. Our car industry is a driving factor of our economy, so politics doesn't punish them as hard as they punish other parties.

If Google doesn't want that place anymore, there are competitors who would pay similar amounts. Obviously a little less, Google was the highest bidder, otherwise they wouldn't have that space, but not so much less that Mozilla wou

The GDPR rather makes it obsolete, actually. DNT was meant as a general purpose opt-out, whereas the GDPR requires an explicit opt-in for most things. And well, DNT could have had legal bearing, since most legislations in the world require

As others have already commented, I don't trust them to add it back in. And it would fit their design philosophy to permanently remove it, which has been moving away from the concept of files as a whole. Instead, you're supposed t

Are you aware that you can hold down Alt and right-click-drag on a window to resize it? Alt+left-click-drag moves the window. (I believe it's Alt on GNOME, might be the Windows/Super/Meta/Logo-key instead.) So, when you

Sure, but Mozilla's standards are far beyond what the EU demands, too. Which they are in this case as well, as this is not privacy-invading at all.

An extension popped up in the extension list, which did nothing at all, but had a weird name that made people panic they had somehow gotten malware. And it was pushed as part of an unpaid marketing campaign for Mr. Robot. Which people thoug
