Honestly, I'm not seeing any signs of webtorrent usage at all. It appears to be a normal stream from a normal server. Even if they don't store all the video, and just proxy the torrent sessions, I'm not sure how they could af

What a spectacular hack! Instead of going around your package manager in such a spectacular fashion, why not just switch to a distro which provides an up-to-date kernel along with associated packages. For example, how does this program hand

Wow, this is incredible. I can't believe that a dramatic retelling of a dry, technical mailing list discussion could be so damn entertaining. Or that a dramatic retelling is even possible in this format. Thanks for mentioning this!

Seems somewhat unlikely to me. Now that OpenGL is gone from MacOS, the Mac is basically dead as a cross-platform gaming system. Who's going to rewrite their renderer on Metal just to target such a tiny platform? Maybe if UE or Unity do

I live in NZ and I've received maybe 1 or 2 in my lifetime. I'm not aware of any particular legal/technical measures in place here to stop them.

Absolute rubbish - and quite sadly I note that you're just parroting industry talking points. >This can be seen with music today. Rampant sharing made it so you can't really sell albums anymore. If you want to make a living, yo

Not even remotely close to stealing. Stealing causes an actual loss to the victim - they owned an item which is worth money, and now they don't. Copyright infringement, OTOH, causes a potential loss to the 'victim'. The copyr

Oh come on. It's extremely unlikely, and there'd be no reliable, automated way to extract them anyway.

Debian will need to patch Firefox for this to continue to work.

Yes, but you can sign your xpi via a command line tool (which calls the AMO API) and then distribute that however you want. It can be installed by dragging into about:addons.

Hmm. I run pfsense, it advertises its own v6 address as a DNS resolver, and I've never had any issues with it breaking. Admittedly, I don't know it isn't just falling back to v4 for a period when the prefix changes. But I did

As I understand it, they were pulled because employees would drive in a very unsafe manner in order to meet the guarantee and not get penalized/chewed out by their boss. I think somebody died...?

I have this issue too, so I use Ddclient-curl to do dynamic dns via cloudflare. DDNS is something that I once thought would be an artifact of a less civilized time, but ISPs gotta upsell, I guess.

I use 2degrees. They gave me a static public IP for free when I asked and justified it. Most people who just browse Facebook and Instagram, watch YouTube and Netflix won't notice a thing.

For hardware, perhaps, but the Chinese have no realistic way to replace the rest of the world for software. If they want to sell their hardware to the rest of the world, English is the only realistic language to use for that. I see no evide

My understanding is that most video websites like Youtube use Media Source Extensions, a standard which allows javascript to download and assemble video streams in non-standard ways. This work is done by page JS and passed to the browser to

I think you may be experiencing the addon updating itself. It has to restart when this happens. I admit I've lost my tree once or twice, but again not for a while.

It's worth noting that Tree Style Tabs still exists and works really well. You can multi-select tabs and move them around or bookmark them, too. Firefox is dramatically faster now, and you still have full abilities to restrict content

What? There's no alternative to IPv6. Nobody is making one. If someone did make one, it would be stuck on hundreds of vendors making thousands of new pieces of equipment in just the same way as IPv6. It would be stuck on the immense tr

I won't say no, but these donations go to Mozilla Foundation and are used to advance their tech evangelism work, such as their successful lawsuit over net neutrality in the US. Mozilla Corporation develops Firefox with their income fro

Well yes, but technologically, it's the only non-KHTML descendant browser engine in development. Mozilla is working on the revenue issue, though it is a considerable concern. The best thing we can do to help Mozilla is to simply use Fi

I use and love Firefox, but password storage really shouldn't be handled by the browser. They've never done a good job at it. I use and recommend Bitwarden wholeheartedly.

Or you could cease contributing to the Blink monopoly on the web and join us of Firefox. Microsoft is no longer challenging Google in this space.
