All the major browsers have AI features now, the horse bolted years ago.

It's almost impossible to edit Wikipedia on mobile networks due to ip hopping vandals on CGNAT.

This what we want, as more systems go Wayland only it means more pressure to actually fix Wayland bugs instead of falling back to X11.

I don't consider Cloudflare part of the "real" internet anymore, instead it's a private intranet that got too big.

Can we have a conspiracy to kill IPv4 next?

Internet Explorer versions below 11 are getting the message too. Impacting those who use legacy Windows versions.

This is why we need more "job creator" schemes. Why work for a terrible company when you can be a good company creating jobs for everyone. We need more entrepreneurs than ever, especially when in 2050 we will need jobs for 10 bill

If this baby lives to 91, will they be considered older than Jeanne Calment?

Tried it, it suffers the same space in url bug that Mobile Firefox has, and they only are interested in bug reports from people who pay $150 for their Webkit skin.

The only long term solution is to ban ipv4 sales and tell anyone who wants new ip addresses to get ipv6. IPv4 is a security risk now with all sorts of malicious traffic routed through cgnat proxies.

I think Archive.org should have a "donate to scrape" policy in place as well.

I have strong opinions about ipv4, especially since I'm forced to use an ipv4 isp. The lack of ipv6 adoption should be considered one of the great failures of tech. Who actually is responsible? Is it router manufacturers writing poor q

Chrome is becoming less innovative then other browsers now. They recently rejected adding vertical tabs when most other browsers have adopted them. Chrome is basically becoming a "television" browser where it is aimed at advertise

Wikipedia is more vulnerable than you think, there are only around 840 administrators on the English Wikipedia, most of them who have been around for nearly 20 years. It would only take a few takedowns of major admins to disrupt the power b

Using AI with Wiki content will eventually be seen as bad as vandalizing Wikis. The Wikimedia commons has over 100 million files, and most of them will not be seen by humans but instead be just scraped by AI bots which drains donors funds a

Don't forget Cloudflare tagging old browsers as "bots".

The forced buying of new computers for Windows 11 when Windows 10 was allowed on really old computers really turned a lot of people against Microsoft and they started looking for alternatives. Apple with their M Series Macs and the new Flat

This is why Mozilla should stop bothering with the ESR version of Firefox. Too many features of it have to be polyfilled. The ESR cycle made sense when XUL was a thing, but now the extension APIs have been overhauled it should be easier for

You should be ashamed of yourself. I hope you have your own business or are you "baby fed" by your boss.

The revelations of the security problems with recall finally made me go all Linux. Whatever problems you can think of with Linux it pales in comparison with having CCTV in your OS.

And also ever since the 3G shutdown in the UK phones often fall back to GPRS and EDGE connections (2G), as 2G is not scheduled to shut down in the UK until 2033. I know several apps that are too slow to work in such conditions, as they are

Try using the internet on an "exchange only line". Technically it's broadband but its speeds are still dialup tier. I know several streets in my city that still have these connections.

Reminds me of the CIH virus. It's only a matter of time for ransomware authors to start using firmware blanking as a new technique.

So surprised that hacker news is stuck in ipv4 land. Even if you disagree with the method, I do not consider a device not capable of IPv6 to be using the real internet anymore. It's the same with the housing market where people would r

Networking software and routers without ipv6 should be considered a security issue at this point and should have CVEs assigned against them. It's amazing how we deprecated unencrypted http across the internet but still use the equivale

Isn't this the same as companies dropping software support for Windows 7/8.1?
