Note that I have heard of a number of data hoarders who have jumped onto those new enterprise plans with lots of data stored, and there are no reports of caps or data culls - yet.

webrender is on by default for Windows 10, but Mozilla is still struggling with mac and Linux drivers, so it's still off by default there. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/WebRender_Where To check if

Even when the law has no basis in reality? Windows XP is going to stay in copyright for... how many decades now? Even though it has no commercial value anymore? Laws which make no sense and have no value to society should be ignored. If sof

Why, if you don't mind my asking? Even if you paid anything for such an old product, your money wouldn't be going to MS anyway. Not sure what difference it makes, paying for an abandoned product.

It's worth noting that you can use Arch and various other distros on wsl[2], not just Ubuntu.

I recommend trying a bunch, but I can recommend Sync for reddit and Boost for reddit. Both are for Android, by the way.

Reddit has an open API, with a rich ecosystem of third-party apps. If the website annoys you, there are plenty of high-quality alternatives.

This is close to what happens in New Zealand. We built a fibre network (FTTH) funded by the state starting in 2011. The project was put up for tender on a area-by-area basis, but with a small mountain of regulations attached. Basically, the

If you can't dismiss it, then you have malware on your phone. A website cannot hijack your screen in a way you can't simply back out of.

Are you really going to buy, charge, supply with data and carry around a second phone, no matter how cheap, just so you can send blue messages? That attitude is, like many american ideas, really whack.

I'm not sure what you think calling a product something means. Do you think it means that 'Riot' endorses rioting? Or is anti-rioting? Or is making fun or rioters? Or something else? There's nothing insensitive about the

Sounds great, but U2F keys are super expensive and U2F is supported nowhere. Password managers are free and work everywhere already.

That sounds awful, but all you need to do is add all the legitimate domains to your chase login record, then you are phish-proof. Obviously autofill itself can break on complex page layouts, and that's fine. The security comes from t

This is why an auto-filling password manager is an essential security tool for every internet user. If your password manager doesn't autofill/offer to fill your passwords, the domain isn't legitimate. Password managers are

Really disturbing that I had to scroll right to the bottom of the page to find someone questioning the source of this. While obviously Podcast Addict does not deserve a ban, the sheer number of people in this thread advocating unrestricted

Firefox has a built in import of browser data from other browsers such as Chrome. Does this no longer work?

by ripdog 7y ago
Presumably those people can find their way to the weechat plugin :)

This is why we cannot allow Chrome to gain dominance over the web. We all know Google would love to do this.

It's worth noting that Reddit has a vibrant community of excellent third party apps, none of which display Reddit ads.

Acceptable ads was introduced by adblock plus, and it remains their primary revenue source. uBlock is the original version of uBlock origin. Both were started by gorhill4 (sp?). Gorhill got sick of the constant support burden of people comi

Reddit is mostly links to other sources, though. If you're reading self-posts on reddit, obviously be aware that they're not intended to be even seen as 'reporting', but rather discussion topics. /r/covid19 and

I had the same issue. I emailed blendle, suggesting they write a browser extension which could manually/automatically redirect supported publications to the blendle equivalent. Obviously, they didn't think that was necessary. Can&

I'm not sure why you assume that this law, should it eventually appear, would be enforced with jail time? For that matter, why it would even be targeted at sellers of cables instead of phone makers?

The complexity in modern browser engines has nothing to do with parsing invalid HTML and everything to do with the vast, absurd feature set of the modern web platform, and the complex interactions between the components.

That will never happen for Wikipedia. Their content is tiny in disk space and not growing very fast. They are also drowning in money, despite what their donation begging messages claim. The Internet Archive, on the other hand, is drowning i

So... What's the value proposition over, say, Firefox?

Not simple - they have an extensive blacklist of VPN servers too.
