If I drive a luxury sports car and I lose my job, I might get rid of the luxury car and switch to a compact. Both are good enough, one is cheaper. That’s the way the world works. It’s not nice to hear the results of a bot are good enough wh

The original story for The Matrix had the machines use the humans as AI computing devices, not power sources (which doesn’t make a lot of sense). It just turned out too difficult to explain to the viewers.

I wish there was a way to describe a packet and then trace how it is handled by the firewall, what rules it matches and why it is allowed, dropped or blocked.

Yes, and as long as that didn’t require updating the browser, they didn’t. Internet Explorer 6 was Microsofts only option for over 5 years. And if Firefox hadn’t trounced them it would have been for much longer.

The reason for IEs stagnation wasn’t that Microsoft was trying to hold back the web, it was that their domination was strong enough they didn’t see a need to change. So why would they invest in updating it? The updates came in plugins tied

Was this created before or after Konqueror, the KDE web browser (which coincidentally is the source for the WebKit/Chromium browsers)?

Even worse, that hashed key they are proposing is plaintext equivalent, it has the same access as the password (actually it is the real password, the PSK). And while for normal passwords there is the argument the password is more valuable b

Yet as far as I can see the equally ridiculous FaceTime patent still stands.

The article forgets to mention that the way Firefox sets itself as the default browser was simply reverse engineered from the way Edge sets itself as the default browser. Microsoft always wants to set rules on how applications can promote t

Some interesting gaslighting here, complaints about the forced systemd ecosystem can be deflected by pointing at the init system. Which, just like the rest of the ecosystem, improves some parts and deteriorates others like the absolutely wo

Mac and iPhone apps don’t automatically update unless you tell them to. The goal of systemd is to make everyone do everything the way Lennart Poettering likes it on his personal laptop. Perhaps some of it is nice but also some of it is not

The open internet is a mirage. There used to be barriers against distributing encryption, there’s bans for copyright violations, there’s blocks for adult imagery and revolutionary (‘terrorist’) speech. There is no such thing as a truly ‘ope
