This isn't about "change", they just removed some essential functionality that I use daily since 1995. Besides from being used to it, it is also required for my work to have wide, …

You get a tool tip when hovering the mouse over the progress bar. But now I see the chapters are also listed in the video description, which I should have linked to in the first pl…

There is an interview with Raymond Chen where he is trying to defend the reason why they crippled the taskbar with Windows 11 [1]. Watching that I was just thinking NO NO NO - it w…

Because fingerprinting. Shit like this is the reason you are supposed to use the Tor browser only with a tiny window.

> I guess there is some unfortunate reason why they can't do the same here Because they want to support Git for Windows which is built upon Cygwin/msys. And this is fine because Cy…

Thank you. That inspired me to try out the lemmy android app. But that was quite underwhelming. We'll see where that goes.

Sorry, but I'm too stupid to find it by myself. Would you give me a hint?

Does lemmy has somethings like /r/all? Across all instances? I'm not interested in subscribing to specific communities. The way I used reddit most of the time was browsing on /r/al…

It looks like STUN/TURN can be integrated with QUIC so you don't need additional ports, but I wouldn't say "the complexity is gone" ;-) https://w3c.github.io/p2p-webtransport/ > Th…

> A big difference to WebRTC is: All the STUN / TURN complexity is gone but STUN / TURN is there for a reason. I always thought of the P2P scenario as the main use case for WebRTC.…

I cant think of a use case for me but I want it. But a deal-breaker would be the comment from this German news article[1]: > Wie alle bisherigen Produkte von Finalmouse wird es sic…

> windows can be set to prohibit executing [...] on a dev machine building windows executables lol @ "dev machine" ?!

> Well for one a website can make you secretly upload copyrighted content with plain old javascript Only to a webserver and thanks to CORS not to any webserver. There is no benefit…

Was I wrong about the torrent stuff or did the downvotes come from web-developers who want WebRTC to be always available by default?

Thank you, I will try that. Although I hope that for critical security updates they will be faster... Right now it is lagging behind (105.1.0 vs. current 106.1.0)

Yes, but as far as I understand, the fight against fingerprinting is lost anyway. Having WebRTC enabled can be dangerous for other reasons. You could be seeding a torrent unknowing…

How to disable WebRTC on Firefox Mobile? I have uBlock which prevents from leaking the local IP but I don't want WebRTC at all. Why did they take about:config from us?

I agree. And besides that I also think it's an incredibly bad idea to train users, who are technically not very firm, to enter their credentials on some random page that asks for i…

Welcome to HN, where you read a story like this at least once a month. For this reason I ditched my google account years ago and switched to a paid mail provider that offers suppor…

I don't understand the point of having 2FA with your password manager. When I open my password manager on a malware infected PC it doesn't matter how the password vault is opened. …

in C++ I would write for (int i: numbers) if (i % 2 == 1) return true; return false; find_if() etc. is fine if you already have the right predicate function at hand but it becomes …

It's a different outcome but it is again a problem caused by their signing requirement bullshit. It wouldn't be that bad if they would just let us developers use our unsigned exten…

so true... in 15 years using emacs I never came across another emacs-user in real life. But even if I would find one and we wanted to use emacs together - How is that supposed to w…
