Based on my knowledge of the team, I'm almost certain you can opt out of syncing. I'm also going to guess it's rootable.

Apart from having to manually up the maxVersion every now and then (and rebuilding from source), pentadactyl has Just Worked™ for me.

So, will extensions like pentadactyl or Tree Style Tabs be able to exist after "some point in 2017"? Ignoring rewrite time etc., will there be APIs available to do what they do today?

That's an argument for providing similar/the same APIs as Chrome et al sure, but not for deprecating the old ones.

Extensions is currently the only thing FF is better than the competition at, and they scrap it to copy Chrome APIs... I just can't understand why they would scrap XUL-based extensions before their new APIs reach feature parity. The day

He's probably refering to itkacl, which we use for authorization/acls (not payments). The README (and the code) can be found here: https://git.sesse.net/?p=itkacl;a=blob;f=README;h=3dcb059f30...

I'm going to have to disagree. While is spend less time socializing on the internet now than when I was younger, that is not because I have less time on the internet, but for lack of opportunities. Hell, I spend more of my days on the

hodwik: It seems we've exhausted the max depth of the comments, so I'll reply here. I think you're a bit older than me, I never really experienced the BBS-days for example. Nonetheless, I agree completely. I remember especial

While I see your point, I frequent most of the places you mentioned, and somehow they don't give me the same feeling of comradery as the IRC channels of yore. There are probably many reasons for this, but part of it is the numbers -- t

You have kind of a point there, the advent of {up,down}voting on sites adds to the dullness by putting disincentives on controversial speech. HN is slightly better, but reddit it a great example of this. The most visible content is the lowe

That was kind of the original beauty of the internet, friendships across nationality, age, sex, religion, etcetera. {An,Pseud}onymous or not. Now we're back to hanging out with the same people on the internet as we do in real life.

While these things may or may not be interesting developments in the infrastructure of the internet, it doesn't really counteract what OP is saying. Streamlined, boring, closed garden social networks and ad-filled "news". A

I like this. I've started to try to call my friends more instead of messaging them through some social network, this seems like the natural extension to that. Does iOS or Android offer some kind of built in conference function? Or do y

For what it's worth, lawyers, doctors, architects and accountants, along with many other skilled professions, including engineers, all have unions in Norway.

It says I've used up my number of articles for the month, but I can't remember reading any in a long time, which my browser history confirms. Weird.

I wasn't quite able to grasp what this is. Is it similar to dropbox / btsync (without the bt part) in what it provides to the user? What are the usecases? Looks cool anyways, and I love that packages are already available!

I think many would care about $5/month, it certainly is better than nothing, but there is no way that the average user will get even one tenth of that per month.
