It uses tsdav[0], which supports OAuth2. I didn't try O365 but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work. [0] https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsdav

It's those Web 3 enthusiasts that tried to convince us that we need new ways to put things on the internet. There's no problem with doing it today. You can `python3 -m http.server` and you're on the internet. There's no

Sounds like you're not even aiming to create a web browser... All good wishes, but count me out and I sure hope Firefox doesn't take that route. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the hacker mentality (go Gemini!), but I though

Thanks for Ardour! I've used it many times. I'm not a DAW expert, but unfortunately I don't think that's really similar though... DAWs are complicated, and hats off for building one, but they're nothing like browser

I disagree. This is repeating all the time, but it was never the question. I'm not giving up on Firefox because it ain't perfect and then going to Chrome because it's a known evil. Mozilla are doing stupid things sometimes (a

So what are you using now? Is Chrome on your side? IMHO, the _moment_ we get rid of Firefox, the _moment_ we lost the free web. Building a web browser is just too damn hard, and never again would free software stand a chance. All will be Ch

I'm sorry I rephrased your text, but you did write "v1 remains the best UI firefox has ever". How is that so different from "the best ever" is beyond me. What browser did you move to after you uninstalled Firefox be

We hackers like to complain about stuff that bother us, but the truth is they don't bother anyone else but us. Firefox didn't lose marketshare to Chrome because it had telemetry. Users don't care about it, and if they did, th

I feel like it became somewhat popular to bash Firefox (and Mozilla) on HN, which is sad. What exactly did you like about v1? It takes huge space and literally most buttons are completely useless. Are you using "refresh" very ofte

I loved Photon. Proton added a lot of nice touches, but I never understood why would you want to turn the tabs into buttons. Tabs is a great metaphor from the real world, and they take less space. I don't see a single advantage of styl

Callibella is a small util that reads the events on your personal calendar, and then goes to your work calendar and places "busy" events at the same times. It maintains this one-way sync - updating and deleting events if they chan

This is puzzling. If I had billboard in the middle of the city, and I'd get paid for a "kill all $group_name" ad, all while people are actually killing $group_name, in what world will it not make total sense to hold me accoun

Why is graphic one "clearly a violation" and "we need to kill more" isn't?

I understand that you are in a difficult position, but western companies using their power to send information to Russians is essentially the same as leaving Russia completely. Do you really have any doubt it would not even take a few hours

Sometimes you can't use OAuth because your client doesn't support it. If you ever run into that problem you might find my project useful - OAuth Hopper serves as a simple proxy that removes OAuth from services. github.com/bje

Yes, it's dangerous to depend in income from Google. No, it does not at all explain why Firefox is losing marketshare.

What's wrong with this message? Are you against ads revealing who's paying for them and who's targeted? Against transparency of algorithms? What exactly is the issue? I don't see any reason to leave after reading this.

Unless this is a new thing, I used to do video and audio calls on Discord on Firefox on Linux without issues. No app.

Good luck truly anonymizing the activity feed of any user on any social network. Good luck anonymizing support tickets that include stuff like "I'm running this version, on this device, and trying to do that". Good luck anony

I don't see anything so specific as "personally identifiable data". The GDPR Article 17 says all personal data. What makes you think activity data is fine to keep?

by yoavm 5y ago
I wonder how all this Web3 thing works with GDPR, especially with part 17 - "Right to erasure". Seems like if you go down the blockchain route to store any user data, you're pretty much non-GDPR compliant from day 1. I have a

These articles definitely aren't saying that the US military and cargo ships account for 70% of all climate pollution. If my math is right, the US military is closer to 0.01% of all carbon emissions.

Ah cynical German could argue that Russia invading to Ukraine is none of their problems, but emitting methane sure is. To clarify however, I didn't mean to say that Europe is clearly going to stop buying from these sources, just that _

I am assuming some of those companies are selling their gas and oil in Europe? We would need to trace that and just stop buying until they fix it.
