Maybe OP felt addressed xD

In regards to Mozilla creating an Electron alternative, they already tried that. It was called Proton and it never caught on but was solely bleeding money so they had to shut it do…

Seems like there's a now an account for it on Mastodon https://mastodon.social/@elonjet

Well the article is a about German health insurance so without mentioning it explicitly it's not clear that you were talking about the US system :P

Just go to about:compat in Firefox and you can see them. Most of them are simple UA locks but some require more advanced logic.

Currently the 3rd most requested feature on Mozilla Connect is native vertical tabs: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/native-vertical-tabs-li... Any chance we could see somethi…

On the topic of Twiter, Mastodon, and the Fediverse, why do federated FOSS alternatives to popular platforms not offer a read-only version of said platform as one of its instances …

Yeah no, modifying logic of a binary application as large and complex as modern web browsers is slightly more involved than the Discord frontend mods that essentially just tweak so…

Repairability and device thinness are by no means mutually exclusive IMO. When LTT did a review of the Framework laptop for example they also did a size comparison with a similarly…

Planned obsolescence? Batteries are consumables, so once it's dead the consumer is essentially forced to buy a new model.

While the limitation to newer models sucks. The fact that thanks to (planned) legislation Apple feels pressured to make parts available to consumers is an absolute win for right to…

As much as I hate the whole cryptocurrency hype myself, I think I agree that a proof-of-work requirement on spam detection that pays in the hosts favour could help solve spam to so…

I wonder if a general solution could be to make the visit more computationally demanding to the visitor than to the host, e.g. some form of proof-of-work. I guess captchas already …

Austria and Switzerland definitely have better train service than Germany. In fact the Austrian federal railways (ÖBB) even bought up the majority of DB's night train routes after …

Bringing us back to the discussion about threat models :P

Yet some of the tactics of spammers/scammers are so obvious that it's surprising YouTube doesn't provide simple solutions for some of the case. For example a common example as MKBH…

Yeah I switched away from Wire again due to constant notification issues (yes battery saving options are disabled on Android). My session has since timed out and trying to log back…

While this was not stated in the linked post, other sources said it will be limited to x86 chromebooks that run 11th+ gen Intel CPUs or equivalent. That basically limits it to mode…

As others have already mentioned, the process is interestingly enough reversible (to some degree) by simply subjecting it to a colder environment like a freezer for a bit.

Maybe a bit off-topic but will upcoming Matrix Live also be hosted via Matrix VoIP now? ^^ (At least the smaller ones like interviews where the number of participants is <=8 until …

Why not just use FluffyChat? https://fluffychat.im/

Yes but the current UX for that is terrible. With the proposed MSC linked in the blog post, Matrix will additionally gain Teamspeak/Discord like voice channels [1]. With this we co…

While you could use it for hosting a business, I wouldn't recommend doing so without some business plan that offers SLA. I might be incredibly unlucky but I had two major multi day…
