Yeah that happened on Microsofts knowledgebase sites for years…

So annoying. But cant blame such a small company for not fixing that, they probably couldn’t afford to fix it /s

No I distinctly remember being able to right click and add a keyword and bookmark for search field on random website forms, even internal ones on company intranet sites and such

Yeah it definitely was keyword bookmarks, but there was an option to “add a keyword for this search” or something along those lines

This update makes it much easier to add custom search engines in Firefox. You can now right-click in a search field on a supported website and select “Add Search Engine” to add it. You can edit the name and assign a keyboard.

Am I misremembering things, didn’t this feature exist already in the past?

I think this would warrant to get all websites using the facebook pixel on safe browsing lists and AV databases as infected with malware.

Maybe then the pressure on meta would be big enough to stop this shit, if all websites stopped to not use that anymore.

Btw, does anyone know if the localhost tracking is implemented in Whatsapp as well, or just FB and Instagram?

It doesn’t really make it any better, but at least they let you opt out of data collection after creating the account (you know, when they have already collected your email, first and last name as well as camera serial no.) 🙄

While I love the content on Youtube, I’d like to pay for no ads and I’d like to support the creators, I just can’t bring myself to pay for a service where the UX is so catastrophically bad.

Search is basically non functional at this point. Video quality has to be adjusted manually for each video to not get pixelated mess. Even at 1080p the quality is barely better than DVD. The app caches so little ahead that the slightest network interruption pauses playback. Forced auto rotation makes you grab the device each time you return from full screen to the video list. Subtitles have completely gone to shit and it’s wild that in the age of forcing AI on everyone, that auto generated subtitles are still as bad as they are.

To name just a few…

Sorry for the rant

Oof, that is new, the camera connect app used to work without an account before.

Too bad, it makes me think “wow this is horrible, if they are this bad at developing a simple app I don’t want to find out how bad they would be at developing and maintaining a whole OS…”

How hard can it be to produce a simple battery pack, for a company that is in the business of designing and producing battery packs no less…

While that is true with humans, I’m not sure if that applies to Giraffes with such long windpipes

$1 million-a-head dinner

I can’t even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can’t be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

Probably also a factor is that you would be spinning up a whole production line and automation systems for phones that will only be in production for 12 to 18 months, after which you’d have to adapt or redo everything for the new model.

That may be but if they would shorten “female soldier”, wouldn’t they refer to her as “a soldier” and not “a female”?

There are already some: Eurofighter, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafale.

Although I remember a news story from like 7 years ago, where Austrias new Eurofighter jets couldn’t fly because they did not receive the GPS license from the US in time… So still dependent on the US, even for “domestic” jets, though that problem could probably be solved

The first 6 years of Firefox were done without telemetry and after it was implemented it was opt-in for a while.

While I see the use of telemetry for development purposes, I would not call it aridiculous thing to not want

I think this is a reasonable explanation.

But I also believe a large part of the firefox user base does not want any data about them collected by their browser, no matter if it is for commercial purposes or simply analytics / telemetry. Which is why the original statement “we will never sell any of your data” was just good enough for them, and anything mozilla is now saying is basically not good enough, no matter how much they clarify it to mean “not selling in the colloquial sense”

Easy, the real Donny wouldn’t know what Pierogi are, unless McDonalds has them on their menu now…

I honestly can’t believe we are in a situation where the US conservatives are cozying up to Russia and Nazi Ideology of all things. And they expect help for Ukraine to be nothing more than a business deal type loan with immediate financial return instead of political goodwill from what it sounds like

Oh absolutely. At this point I’m not surprised anymore that they turned to shit, it’s more like I think they’ve hit rock bottom already but they manage to surprise me with new ways to dig their hole even deeper.

So I thought this is never going to fly under GDPR. Then the article goes on to say:

Many privacy laws, including the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA, require user consent for tracking. However, because fingerprinting works without explicit storage of user data on a device, companies may argue that existing laws do not apply which creates a legal gray area that benefits advertisers over consumers.

Oh come on Google, seriously? I remember a time when Google were the good guys, can’t believe how they’ve changed…
