they could have been intending to insert the advert into other places, which wouldn't be quite as outrageous (though I happen dislike them inserting them anywhere, but some places are definitely worse than others).

That sounds pretty bad but what do you mean by "browser chrome"? Isn't the claim here that they injected an ad into an actual page?

Firefox's responses are absolutely shit, for sure. But Firefox has all kind of promo things (the latest I saw was adverts on their overview/links page - which you can also disable), so the presence of a config item for this doesn&

it's a bit unclear what they intended here but I see a lot of people assuming the absolute worst intent. That Firefox would fully intend to insert full page unskippable adverts of it's own into unrelated websites is a major accu

Just another example of state capitalism. Another huge handout to Tesla. I personally happen to think it's fine for a government to do this kind of thing, but let's call it like it is!

yeah this is probably how it will happen if it becomes law. But UK-based companies won't want to take the chance or will have to immediately cave to the slightest legal pressure, so UK companies will be stuffed. I wonder if the UK gove

Refusing to comply and threatening to walk are just two different approaches to protesting this and it's not clear to me which is the most effective. But I think I trust Signal to know the better approach (whichever they ultimately tak

only 1% of people can lose more than 5kg and keep it off. if almost 100% of people can't do something, describing it as "not hard to fathom" completely misrepresents the issue.

lol I did exactly this at school too. My first version wrote the passwords to local disk and whenever I logged in anywhere myself my login script would gather them up. Til I realised I could leave myself logged in and write to my home dir.

I have autoplay of videos turned off. but I played a video, changed tab, the video ended and youtube went on to play another unrequested video, carefully selected to make me watch more ads.

As terrible as youtube can be (I currently hear it autoplaying some unwanted next video on some other tab I can't find) I love how we've gone from Le Prince recording a video on a roll of paper in 1888 to being able to watch that

One of the requirements of the GPL is that credit is given (and indeed this is needed for enforcement to work because the GPL leverages copyright).

I for one am glad the US is finally looking into who on earth is causing these awful climate problems. Turns out it is Turkmenistan and "likely Russia".

Obviously almost everyone has a device to receive BLE whereas zigbee is a bit more specialist. I've been playing with some arduino hardware that supports zigbee as well as BLE, and BLE is trivially easy to get working where the zigbee

Peterson developed very serious health problems, resulting in an extreme autoimmune response to food and ended up on pain killers and an induced coma. I would not take dietary advice from him.

My landlord is dramatically different to a government quite obviously. Surely if a government takes money in tax, that money is no longer in the economy. Isnt it in the one place we can say that the private sector cannot access? Is the US f

it doesn't work too well for the employees if there aren't alternative jobs or a social security system for them to go to. They're then at the mercy of the employers. at least without unions. Henry Ford's anti-union tact

That's a myth. Ford increased wages only to stop the high levels of staff turnover, which was affecting productivity and quality.

I was interested in how many of the trees they've found to be viable, but since they've only planted 50,000 and the drones plant 40,000 a day, they've only been working for 1.25 days so presumably they have no idea.
