To me it sounds more like: Most likely backdoors have been planted. So the question is how you handle such a situation.

Am I the only one who can't login with his Firefox? Not just for this use case, but as a general issue.

Am I getting old? As far as I can tell, this is what we were doing before JS became the mighty weapon it is today (like pre-2005). So if you don't like JS, this is a pattern you might want to revive, but I can hardly believe, that we w

I use my RPi4 as a small server having multiple docker containers behind a Traefik proxy. The largest applications are probably my Nextcloud and my Photoprism instance. The Photoprism instance holds about 114.000 pictures which I took over

When I saw that dialog, I didn't know which button to click. I knew I didn't want to share the topics I am interested in or have personalized / more relevant ads of any kind, but the text was so confusion and mixing so many t

If the UI is a problem try twitching the userchrome.css. I have done so in order to make it work with treestyletab as I like it and if you care about ht UI, the userchrome.css gives you a lot of freedom. In addition, I sync it via Nextcloud

I think the ceiling is less about what you can achieve, but about the quality you produce (e.g. correct application of principles, which can lead to better maintainability). Before I studied I thought of objects in terms of Object Orientati

@afavour: The topic isn't as simple as having a HTTP header with a unique identifier. Browser Fingerprinting is a complex process, that uses unintentional implementation details, like how things are rendered with different graphics dri

I love that picture as it shows the difference in size and how chromium just sucks everything in, but somehow I miss the fallen Konqi (KDE mascot) in it. Konqueror (the KDE Browser) with KHTML was the origin of Webkit and therefore Chromium

Most people use very little that is not available via a browser these days. MS Office, Spotify, Netflix, e-mail, banking, chats, everything is available. And for gaming there are solutions like Geforce Now. Sure if you want to find somethin

I wonder how many people still program modern game engines? Sometimes it feels like everybody just take the newest release of the Unreal Engine and drops assets and scripts into it. Just to be clear, I am not saying that there are no altern

by arendtio 3y ago
Absolutely, and those releases weren't even that old (<10 years). There are so many things that I learnt from tinkering with the Quake 3 source code in 2007, I am still very happy and grateful that I had the opportunity at the time.

It feels to me like all the described problems should be something we will encounter in space. If we want to grow beyond this planet, isn't that a good motivation to solve them down here?

Is there a good reason why Firefox should not ship with uBlock Origin by default (with the option to disable it)?

I also like 'cat file | ...' pattern better, but I can also understand people who say that using the '<file ...' pattern is cleaner. So as long as people don't cry 'useless use of cat' we get along ;-)

I think the path finding was one of the crucial elements that lead to porting AoE1 to the AoE2 engine (which was released just this month DLC Return of Rome). So there are some cases when it produces weird behavior, but in general I like it

Well, I don't have a problem with the paid version. What I have have a problem with, is the refusal of service if I don't consent to being tracked. So if there would be three versions, like 'personalized ads with tracking&#x2

The 'general victim blaming' feels weird in contexts when there are at least three parties involved (MS, Google, End-Users + X)(NATO, Ukraine, Russia). And how would you call it, when you compare a technological detail like the de

The problem is that there are good and bad cookies: - session cookie: good - tracking cookie: bad I remember a time when browsers would ask you for every website if you wanted to keep the cookies and because most cookies were good cookies,

How about tracking the users pulse while he reads your website via his smartwatch. Wouldn't that give you even more insights into the emotional journey? My point is: You have to draw the line somewhere (and I think the GDPR line is ver

Does someone know why it is legal that in some countries websites are allowed to offer layers that offer a paid version and a tracking enabled version (very popular among newspapers)? As far as I understand the GDPR, there should be no down

To be fair, I think it was Microsoft who killed the DNT header by enabling it by default.

I think it depends on how far that discomfort goes. If everyone just knows, that you probably have to redo things, it looks completely healthy to me. But if it paralysis the team, because nobody dares to start something, because nobody want

Actually, I prefer wireless charging as well (started with my Samsung S3 around 2014), in part because I can use the same charger for Apple as well as for Samsung, but also because they have no wearout and I don't like cables. However,

Thanks for the details. For me it shows what kind of a company Apple is. Even companies like Sony (who install rootkits on your devices without your consent), comply with the spirit of the charging adapter law. But Apple tries to find a loo

Actually I don't get how Apple always gets away with the sh*t they are doing. All Smartphones on this planet use the same USB-C charging port except iPhones. And as far as I remember, the European Union requires the manufacturers by la
