Try Nickelback! Shudder

Really? Because all I hear on my local rock station is Nickelback.

My previous employer did this, but it was fraught with problems. It can be done properly, but you need your entire development team to have a good understanding of declarative programming, and you need to have as much business logic embedde

Is it really effective across all media? Canadian radio is awful IMHO because of CanCon rules: there aren’t enough Canadian artists within a specific radio genre to saturate a station’s quota, so in many cases we end up hearing the same art

To be clear: Chrome was never part of any WebExtension standard. They do their own thing and WebExtension browsers decide which (if any) changes they want to support.

Then there’s something to revoke if necessary.

All iOS browsers must use Safari’s engine that is already present on the device.

I’m with you on this. If Apple genuinely views privacy as a human right (and FWIW I believe that the right people at Apple do), then they need to learn about privacy by design.

Amusingly enough, I just watched a talk about this topic earlier today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbKGw8MQ0i8

It’s just a MSVC linker directive. Use /STUB

I don’t think so. Sure, the Emerging Technologies division was shut down, but most of the Gecko team was left intact. (I am a Mozilla employee.)

And FWIW it’s not just a “telemetry service.”
437.
by dblohm7 6y ago
The client is open source (and you can go to about:telemetry to see for yourself what it’s sending), the server side is open source, and much of that data is publicly accessible at https://telemetry.mozilla.org

> The later Seinfeld episodes where also getting more and more surreal IIRC that correlated with the departure of Larry David as showrunner, did it not?

> In Canada, do you even really have a right to privacy when in public spaces like a shopping mall? Yes, you do, because while a shopping mall might be considered a "public space," it is private property owned by a private orga

Yeah, ‘cause you know I’ve got nothing better to do all day than wait for another open letter from my employer’s parent foundation. /s

Yeah, I have a hard time sympathizing with this. Windows drivers have become so much more stable since WHQL/HLK compliance became a thing.

> It gets a fixed amount of money from Google for using them as the default search engine Your first bad assumption is that the amount of money is fixed.

As a Mozilla employee, I can say that this is a fairly accurate assessment.

This is true, though IMHO I don't think this is an issue of being written for Win95/98 so much as it is DirectX compatibility (or lack thereof).

by dblohm7 6y ago
Windows 95/98 programs are Win32 programs. Most of them should run just fine on modern Windows[1], with the exception of system utilities and such that shipped with VxDs to provide functionality from kernel mode. [1] Some of them might

That is also false. I described what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24659174

That might be how those projects started, but it’s sure as hell not how they’re run now. There’s no way they could revert to hobbyist projects and survive. Either they would die off or the money would fork them.

The latter part of your statement isn’t true. Yes, some people formerly in charge of security response were unfortunately laid off, however that is not indicative of that entire team nor its capabilities.

> Stop reselling VPN services. People hate Mozilla for taking money from Google. People also seem to hate Mozilla for trying to earn money from somebody other than Google. How do you recommend they pay for browser+engine development?
