How true. Lately I am also starting to have problems with my default Firefox setup, which blocks 3rd party cookies and trackers. The result? A lot of (in my opinion) lazily coded websites break, without ever catching a single error, because

Came here to (wrongly) correct your statement, as I remembered that the only relevant effect was from special relativity. It turns out it is the exact opposite: general relativity effects prevail [0]. Thanks for forcing me to check! > Sp

I recently enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config (which basically is the configuration switch toggled by the UI described in this blog post). Everything went fine, until I noticed WhatsApp web becomes unusable, because it doe

Just for information, as I do not know if this suits your use case: on my phone, LineageOS with no Play Services installed, I can watch YouTube using Firefox + the website. Maps 10.1 can be installed via Yalp Store and works pretty well.

Wasn't MirageOS bought by Docker Inc? Is the project still independent and active?

That was the windows installer for KDE 4, yes. I used to install it on every windows PC I had to use. From a quick check now it is possible to install individual applications (Okular is not there): https://community.kde.org/

Don't you think your analysis is a bit too much simplistic? The ECB monetary politics was never meant to "save" any specific country (a whole system, maybe. You could argue abut this). On Beijing giving away money to Italy: i

Totally. If something is meant to be a mount point, a chattr +i on the underlying directory is a godsend, because it gives you an immediate error in case the mount should fail for whatever reason.

Same for me, cygwin is a godsend, and has been for a long time.

Wow, now that sounds interesting. I think I never, ever heard about nilfs2 since the times it was mainlined (circa 2005). Altough interesting, I sincerely thought it was stale and destined to oblivion. Care to describe why you prefer it? Pe

Did you ever considered C++/QT? Writing cross-platform GUI (and non-GUI) applications is one of its many good use cases.

Hardly. It has more to do with gastronomical culture, I think. In Italy, for example, eating quality food is _important_, it is something people care about and actively look for. This has a low correlation with social or economical status,

Historically, that crown goes to Firefox. Its 2004 1.0 release was also publicized in the New York Times. Way before Chrome came out.

In the same timespan, firefox mobile has a share of 1.2%. Market dominance has almost nothing to do with technical merits.

Personally, I can no longer even conceive running the standard firmware on a critical piece of my home's infrastructure. Plus: good performance, a lot of flexibility, and a nice web interface (if one wants it). OpenWrt has really been
