Of course, but it seems fairly unlikely that the average gamer is running public-facing internet services.

What's really curious is that you aren't using ublock origin. Life's too short to be harassed by marketing.

I think you got it wrong :) He means that the same criticisms of white supremacists using a platform could be leveled at the protocol of email.

And... what, exactly, are you expecting to happen to this person? An Apple SWAT team to break down his door and shoot his dog? I've happily violated hundreds of EULAs for all sorts of software in my time. They're worth less than t

Yes, this is a serious issue. However, I wouldn't claim that Mozilla has any negotiating power with Google even today - Google is likely to continue to fund Mozilla in order to stave off potential antitrust action.

You're confusing gecko and servo. Servo is an experimental web engine which was being developed by Mozilla to test experimental tech. Recently its dev team was laid off. Gecko is the production engine that Firefox is based on, and it&#

There's no grey area here, though. Emulator devs explicitly disavow using their software for piracy, and ban anyone on official forums for mentioning or linking to pirated games. That's all they have to do, really. (assuming the e

Strictly speaking you don't need to run the controller. The Android app can configure APs in standalone mode and update their firmware.

There's no way Mozilla is going to rewrite their entire UI layer for a single OS, much less a minority one.

Yes, and that's not right.

No tricks, mpv just jumps to the nearest keyframe, which allows near instant skips. If you want to do time-exact skips, you need to skip to the keyframe previous to your target time and then decode normally from there, causing a delay. I pr

If it was encrypted, it wouldn't have been discovered in the first place. At least, not by google app reviewers.

I mean, sure, game dev in general is very expensive. But in the grand scheme of a game's budget, server infra is a very small part relative to the others. In addition, the per-user cost is miniscule (which is probably what I should hav

The cost of said infrastructure is miniscule compared to the immense profits of just selling the games. Also, consoles are generally only sold at a loss at the beginning of their life cycle, becoming profitable not long after launch as comp

The internet is very big. Just because parler won't be hosts on AWS doesn't mean they won't find a host. They'll find a hosting company run by people as awful as them, just like the daily stormer did.

The AP program is optional and only for people with high security needs. The restrictions make it utterly inappropriate for unskilled users, so it will never be expanded to the general population. General sideloading? True, that's anyo

Thanks, but I don't need the wikipedia summary of a VPN. It didn't sound ad all like the OP was using his VPN to dial into work. He was dialing into a purpose-build VM which wasn't stated to do anything else - just tunneling

by ripdog 6y ago
Why are you using a VPN? I think the main reason (now that Netflix et al block all VPN IPs) is generally that you gain privacy from your traffic being mixed in with hundreds/thousands of other people's originating from a single IP

Surely Chrome has the same protection that Firefox has against unattended sideloading of addons?

The loading messages were replaced with generic non-playful ones relatively recently, FYI.

There's a rich ecosystem of incredible third party reddit apps on android, as an alternative. Reddit is really unpleasant to use on the mobile web, even without the dark patterns.

Just because that's all you use it for doesn't mean that's all others use it for. I've seen the yt-dl issue tracker, it's swamped in non-youtube support requests.
