When Kon Colivas introduced a scheduler optimized for desktop latency, about 15 years ago, the amount of abuse he got from Linux developers was astonishing, and he ended up quitting for good. I remember compiling it on my laptop and noticin

I once read about the signalling view of advertising, meaning it's used to show that a company is so prosperous that it can afford spending a lot of money in advertising. In the same way, I think from now on, as much as possible, I&#x2

The comments on that video are wonderful. It's so heart-warming to see people laugh at Americans' "standards".

It depends on whether its authors were aware of Azure Pipelines and used them as a source of inspiration. Perhaps.

The end-to-end principle within a datacenter makes little sense and, as shown in the article, ends up enabling insecure behaviour.

In a market so crushingly dominated by one monopolist, everything is about what the monopolist does.

Cat8 is very rigid and hard to work with. For my house backbone I used multi-mode fiber (OM4) cables which are much easier to work with and support up to 100 Gbps for 150m ( https://www.fs.com/blog/om4-multimode-fiber-fa

I suggest testing your website with uBlock (and all its filter lists enabled). All I see is an almost empty page. Don't point to JS or CSS on third-party CDNs because due to the changes in cross-site sharing, neither Chrome nor Firefox

You didn't hurt my feelings, buddy. And if you don't understand what I did and why... pity.

This is all sophistry. The spec is irrelevant, what matters is only the implementation and the fact that Chrome has a crushing dominance.

You're veering way off-course here. This started from "I was never asked for consent to have my face recorded when I get into a shop in Germany. Were you?", to which I replied that those recordings are radioactive and nobody&

Or, I should say, things are enforced after the fact, through the possibility of criminal charges or civil lawsuits. Enforcement doesn't mean that crime is made impossible, just that there is enough deterrent.

These are all symptoms of a larger problem: very few people care about the users, and you have instead classes of workers living in a bubble, working towards either micro-optimizing metrics or trying to achieve what in their minds is the &q

It doesn't need to. Those recordings are "radioactive" and can't be used in any legitimate fashion except by intelligence agencies.

Security recordings fall into the category if legitimate need, and have to be deleted after a short while.

Your opinion is nothingness. I've tested on the same page that uBo on Firefox blocks more than Chrome, and especially it blocks hidden tracking. That's the reality. All else is irrelevant.

by ragall 6mo ago
> And everyone I know Everyone who you know is irrelevant. I've tested and see that ads pass through, and tracking passes through with uBo light on Chrome. I can see it in the browser trace, and I can see it in DNS logs.

What's this supposed to mean ? OP was saying that MV3 is feature-equivalent to MV2 and would like to see MV2 support removed from Firefox just as it was from Chrome. I replied pointing out that's utterly false.

by ragall 6mo ago
That's utter bullshit. The author of uBlock Origin has posted a long list of capabilities that declarativeNetRequest does not support.

by ragall 6mo ago
Most definitely not as well.

by ragall 6mo ago
"This will ensure certain types of add-ons, like ad-blockers, continue to work best in Firefox" clearly means that MV3 makes ad blocking worse, not entirely disabled. How can you get "no more ad blocking" out of that ?

I don't care to associate with people who are offended by being corrected. They can sod off. And I never go to what you Americans call "parties".
