   No offense but nothing that Mozilla says about politics has had an effect on my experience with Firefox. Perhaps the Trillion dollar companies behind the phone duopoly, the Desktop OS with 80+% market share, and the search engine the worl

   People are probably turned off to the comment because of all the complaining about “identity politics”. There also exists several forks of Firefox already. Suggesting the nth idealogical fork that will be funded out of the kindness of a bil

   Despite all this nonsense about the board, Firefox remains the best browser in my experience. It isn’t cramming an AI chatbot and coupon codes during checkout into my browser experience or working to eliminate ad blocking.

   But their chart shows Firefox reaching above 3% usage in the past 12 months. It’s pretty consistent in the past few years being above that government support cut off. And that’s really just support. If people follow web standards Firefox wi

   This doesn’t answer the question about needing more than 50. Even if there are 20 departments, a development, testing/qa, and production server environment, phones, printers, 12 conference rooms, a dmz, an IoT, staff, and guest wifi, b

   If you disconnected completely from the internet did it still run? That is completely wrong to advertise it as “offline” if it requires an active internet connection to run.

   Their goal (in my opinion) is to have enough studios to be cranking out one or more games each month for game pass. With many games taking over 3 years now to make and about 10 of those Activision studios working on just Call of Duty, they

   It’s like zipper merging in a car. And if you don’t know how to zipper merge you really need to.

   Okta isn’t a password manager. It’s an Identity Provider. I use a password manager because I have multiple devices and a cross platform solution that I can access is a straightforward solution. A local password manager like Keepass is still

    You can set up specific domains to open up in specific tab containers. Obviously for sites that you have never visited before this complicates things unless you have the default tab container be your “throwaway” or not personally identifyin

    It looks pretty unprofessional to have a watermark whenever you record your screen. Like I said, literally the only thing keeping Windows in my house (literally could be using MacOS not just Linux) is a specific software compatibility that

    It’s more that I on occasion need to run Windows applications. Modern Office 365 doesn’t work with Wine and the web version doesn’t support the features needed. When they fully merge the desktop app and web version of Office, I won’t need t

    Ironically enough, moves like this, and with the New Outlook and New Teams merging features and functionality between the web and desktop versions (and probably soon Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) I likely will no longer need to dual boot and

    But at least you can understand why watching skibidi toilet is inappropriate during family dinner. “Taking it away” can mean suggesting not watching youtube while at the dinner table. I’m not saying that no one is just ripping the phone rig

    My experience is that you don’t even need to physically remove the device for the tantrum to start. The battery has died and I have seen children explode and be unable to calm down until after the phone was charged back up or that parent ga

    Then why do so many kids scream their heads off and have temper tantrums when the phone is taken away? I can’t read the article at this time as it says that the site has reached its limit and I have been rate limited and blocked. Some kind

    If I take your picture and record your voice in public and make a blockbuster movie staring you using this technology, you wouldn’t think that would be an issue? Presuming you are not a member of SAG-AFTRA.

    I think there’s room for, allowing people to control their own likeness while not fully banning AI content generation. I mean, do people have a right to privacy? Is there some line between having privacy and infringing on someone’s freedom

    We don’t even need to invent a hypothetical scenario to say that wouldn’t work. Tornado cash was shutdown by the US government. Why would operations like that and wallet addresses associated with those types of transactions, not be banned i

    Substantial amount of various systemic reforms would be required to reach this. Election reform, voting reform, constitutional reforms (to the point a new one would probably be necessary), and so much more. All while, like you point out, do

    My argument is, if we wave a magic wand and suddenly all transactions are now in Bitcoin (or Ethereum or whatever) instead of dollars, without changing our culture, rights, and everything else, why would we not end up in the current system

    So the solution to me is protecting personal liberties with respect to private transactions. A right to privacy with regards to digital transactions, a culture of impeaching, recalling, or otherwise voting out politicians who propose legisl

    This fictional scenario would have people not sharing their L1 address. Like you currently don’t share your bank account number when you use a credit card. I’m highlighting how cryptocurrency would probably not be adopted as it works today

    And your tainted funds associated with a flagged address can never be associated with it. An empty new wallet doesn’t help you pay for groceries right now.

    But if we’re using an L2 like the lightning network or some Ethereum based one, you wouldn’t be able to do that. Using specific smart contracts with the guardrails I am talking about, your flagged addresses wouldn’t be able to open or compl

    If Bitcoin or Ethereum or any kind of cryptocurrency achieves mass adoption, why would there not be a block list of “known bad addresses” that would flag your wallet and the grocery store would refuse to transact with you? Governments, corp
