Every time I open Google Photos, it does this. Every single time. It's insanely hostile.

That may be, but mozilla.org isn't exactly a brand like google.com. Most people have never heard of it. If you're trying to get non-technical people to try an underdog browser, sim…

Finally! No more "You know, you should really get Firefox, it's super easy. First you need to go to this other website though. Yes, I know, I know. Just trust me, okay?"

I agree. That ship has sailed, at least for the foreseeable future. We switched to Valkey and it's our choice for a couple upcoming projects as well. To switch back now after this …

Not OP, but a) "to them", and b) I would add that they are being nudged - ever so slightly - to believe in an exaggeration of the facts.

I wouldn't be so sure. Prigozhin founded the Internet Research Agency (Russian troll farm) for Putin back in 2013. He's the go-to guy for disinformation.

I use gitolite as well, it's great. Currently working on integrating it into a CI/CD pipeline, which admittedly proves to be a slight challenge, but I'm sure I'll get there eventua…

I don't think you can infer that a person answers a 10-minute anonymous online quiz more honestly because they refuse to take a hint out of principle. It would be a stretch to cons…
