UTC, GMT or the +0 timezone is pretty standard when using a browser that does not leak data like a sieve. So I don't think it will stick out that much. If they picked another value though it might be problematic.

Pale Moon is very hostile to packagers and distros, threatening them with lawsuits within the first few messages of a conversation. I wouldn't want to give a userbase to them if they treat people like that.

Many people would consider some of the ones you ruled out as "garbage" as great, while considering React/Vue/Angular as garbage. React is the clear winner in terms of market penetration as that is what happens to project

What you said does not contradict what the parent comment said. You're both in agreement that it is not open source.

Depends on the country the cloud provider is located in. I have had zero luck getting anything taken down by reporting to abuse emails or forms of Aliyun, for example. I have had much better luck with US or EU based cloud providers. In part

If someone else becoming happy when their tools suit them better bothers you so much, maybe you should consider seeing one yourself.

I'm amazed every time anew that there are still projects using Github instead of SourceHut/self hosting.

Of course it is a precious resource. Any bytes wasted by bloated electron apps are bytes that your kernel cannot use for disk caches. Pretty much every file I use daily is always in my disk cache, but they won't all fit there if I run

I don't know where you're getting "every website" from your previous reply and this one, but you can be certain that not every website is throwing cookie popups on their visitors. The consequences of recent privacy laws

If your device is supported, you can use the open source drivers. I know a lot of developers use Wacom and similar tablets without installing any proprietary drivers.

uBlock Origin can block more than just ads. It has "annoyance" filters, premade lists for cookie popups, and a lot more. On top of the lists, each user can block annoying things they dislike easily. Just right click the recommende

A manager can keep track of job performance by looking at how many tasks are being completed. If someones LOC is very low, but they complete all their tasks on time, not only is there no problem, it is even beneficial as the work is being d

Sounds like a job for regulations if an essential service like banking can keep users out on such arbitrary terms. I think only one of the banking apps I use check for rooted phones, and it only uses that to warn the user once on app instal

Not all browsers send Referer headers. These days it's only useful for doing log analytics and hotlink protection from the browsers that do send the header.

For most devices, supporting a device indefinitely is just a matter of letting the user flash their own firmware or replace the existing one using an SD card. Using your devices for a long time is not possible not due to the difficulty of t

It doesn't differ too much in a meaningful way. Most likely it will end up the same way, pretty much all other browsers will either 1. Not implement it at all and depend on web developers having heard of error handling or feature detec

Google didn't really kill off FLoC, but rather no other browser implemented such a user-hostile feature. Hard to sell ad targeting to your customers if iPhone users or Firefox users or Safari users can't be targeted.

You don't need to store an identifying cookie to remember someone clicked "no" on a popup. Storing a cookie or localstore that says "cookiePrompt = rejected" should be sufficient.

sci.crypt has fun stuff from time to time, if you like cryptography topics. comp.lang.c is also nice, if you filter off-topic posters. They also recently started a usenet newsgroup for the Gemini protocol, but it's not widely known yet
