I did not (and it's a bit too much of a hassle given the lack of password manager and having to mess with OTP codes to try it now), but it feels basically instant, especially in normal use (e.g. just scrolling from post to post). So ev

Odd, it works really smoothly for me, on Firefox for Android as well. Which is not to discount your experience, but just to emphasise that people will probably have to try for themselves to see what it'll be like on their device.

If you use Mastodon, I'd really urge you to try Phanpy. It's not just a great Mastodon client - it has a few genuinely innovative interaction patterns that work really well. Really hard to believe that it's pretty much made b

Given that we're commenting on a post about Firefox breakage... This will only cause more breakage, so be aware of that.

I agree that it's a hard problem (like fair markets regulation in general - e.g. it's not straightforward how to define a particular market either). Unfortunately I'm also not sure what the better solution would be - at least

The DMA is not (directly) about what users want; it's about markets having level playing fields, where all competitors have the same opportunities and thus have to win based on merit, rather than based on dominance in a different marke

In fact, I think that's even the only true goal. Operating the gate is a manual process that takes some effort and time, so it's not like they run out to operate it every time someone pushes the button. In practice, I think they

Criticism I have seen: - Safari will always still be installed and have its icon on the first page of your home screen by default, even if you choose another browser. - Choosing another browser doesn't actually select it - it brings yo

But the less permissive licence effectively only applies to new modifications to the (contributed) code, which is allowed by BSD, but not by GPL.

The worst future is where there still are plenty of jobs, but all of them consist of talking to an AI and hoping you use the right words that gets them to do what you need it to.

Haha, per person, yes, but even then I'm fairly sure that a way larger percentage of land is used for housing than it is in most areas in the US. As in, you really can't travel in a straight line for very long without encountering

I've used both MSW and Storybook, and they're both fine. They both have some advantages and disadvantages. One advantage of Storybook is that getting to a particular state on a particular page is a matter of selecting the right st

Thanks! "It costs thousands of dollars a month, which is feasible enough that people will find a way" sounds pretty reasonable.

I guess I should have asked about anyone else :) I know why you would - you're planning to sell services around Bluesky [0], and thus need Bluesky itself to be working. But if it's already working (because you're running an

Why would anyone run their own aggregator? (i.e. if you run a search engine, you can show contextual ads to recoup your investment and then some.) Sorry about going off-topic, I realise it's only tangentially about labelling.

I assume you're aware and have some other reason that disqualifies it (e.g. you're in the US), but Fairphone does exist and comes pretty close (i.e. PostmarketOS is supposed to run, at least): https://www.fairphone.com&

They say something about the speed of the browser, so it doesn't really make sense to ask extension developers about it, I don't think. Possibly that your extension might make the browser slower, so you could compare scores with a

Wow, so that's 18 years of maintenance and counting, congrats! Presumably, that means that there are also people who are adults now and got started with Sugar. Are you collecting testimonials by them anywhere? That would be fun to read

That is absolutely fine to me. (I mean, I'd like answers, but I've gotten used to the idea of limits to our knowledge.) What I appreciated so much is that is broadened the range of potential answers for me, emphasising just how m
