The 3rd panel needs to be updated to somehow show that it’s also crazy expensive…

I still have some too, but thanks to Musicbrainz it’s all tagged properly now. Guess System of a Down never made a Zelda techno after all.

Or addictive. The first hit’s always free! Get people hooked on Alexa and then tell them it actually costs $10/month to turn your lights off

Zines sounds like something Tom Haverford would come up with.

I live in the Midwest and I’m honestly not sure. On the one hand you’re right, but on the other I’ve seen restaurants willing to hook up a couple Roku’s to stream whatever customers want. Remains to be seen if they’re willing to go so far out of their way just for Fox News, but I’m sure some bars out in the rural areas 100% would.

Even if it shuts down the cable channel they’ll just switch to a streaming-first model. It’s not going to be this easy to make Fox News go away.

Have you worked with Bootstrap at all?

At every company I’ve worked at there were basically 3 priority levels - normal, stuff the client says is urgent, and the stuff that’s actually urgent. “We’ll fix it later” is basically for the week in December that everyone’s on vacation and the juniors have nothing to do.

Hover has been pretty good

They must be paranoid about thinking that even the slightest link to any kind of pro-piracy conversation or community will get them sued into the ground.

Except AI can actually be used for things and provides real value to people right now.

Users wanted games to play, too. Couldn’t do that in HTML4

It’s far more likely that Adobe is just being lazy/cheap in not supporting a browser with a small market share.

Technically it’s theft in the US too, but the owner doesn’t exist anymore so no one’s going after you (assuming cops don’t see you)

10 million DAU’s is still pretty impressive

Before this thread turns into another circlejerk about how great Firefox is, I just wanna throw something out there; the whole point of the open web is that people use whatever browser they wish. I completely understand the push for Firefox right now, but everyone switching to one browser isn’t the answer. In fact that’s literally how we got to where we are.

Use whatever software you want! These are your devices and I’m not gonna shame you for how you choose to use them. What’s important is that an open web is maintained so you have that choice.

Anyone in Ohio who might be seeing this post - vote no on issue 1. We don’t need supermajorities to pass amendments. 50%+1 is plenty!

Transmission has been my go-to for quite awhile

If she didn’t know what she was signing up for then she deserves no pity. If she’s smart she’s using this as a stepping stone.

And the little freezer is so tiny it’s basically useless!

Ah yes, it’s “to fight spam” and not at all an attempt to cut costs of the free users.

Just keep squeezing Elon. Blood will come out of that stone soon enough I just know it!!

It may sound the same but making a copy of something is absolutely not the same as taking something. It’s an important distinction.

Did you ever watch “Comedy Central Presents”? A little dated now but it’s hundreds of comedians doing a half hour. Might be right up your alley? At least it’s easy enough to find…

That app was the best back in the day!

I’m not aware of a JS equivalent, but it’s something that could be written solo once you get the formulas worked out.

Somewhat related, you can use iknowwhatyoudownload.com to check and see if your IP address was part of a torrent download recently

Most companies aren’t going to develop the same app for different platforms using their native languages. We already saw where that leads; an entire library of apps that are windows only, because that’s all they have the bandwidth for.

Will this actually be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, or will everyone just continue to say “but I can only do this on a PC” and not even attempt to look at Linux or MacOS as an alternative.

My moneys on the latter. People have been complaining about anti-consumer practices from Microsoft since Windows 7, but it always ends the same way. Microsoft has most of the world by the balls and they know they can squeeze tighter and tighter and not lose 99% of their customers.

Google is in whatever business they decide to be, and saying that they’re expected to leave abruptly because the well dried up is not an acceptable answer. Ultimately it just tarnishes the brand and dooms whatever new things they try to venture into. Stadia never got off the ground for this very reason.

Google’s not going to be able to collect a lot of data if no one trusts them to run a service for more than a couple years. Hell, can I even trust them to keep Chromium going at this point!? Surely they won’t let that waterfall of data dry up…

We can’t even trust google to run a registrar!?

Who needs “Read-only Friday” anyways, right?

Half the time when I see a thread about a site that doesn’t work in FF there’s a comment saying you can just spoof a chromium user agent and the page will work fine.

Which…. Honestly as a web dev makes me embarrassed because you should never build a site around the UA. It’s such an unreliable bit of information!

Does anyone build off Gecko/Firefox these days? Even Brave, the browser run by their old CTO/CEO, switched away to Chromium several years ago.

You’re not misunderstanding at all, and you’re exactly right:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/06/duckduckgo-offers-its-privacy-centered-browser-in-a-windows-open-beta/

Like its Mac browser, DuckDuckGo (DDG) uses “the underlying operating system rendering API” rather than its own forked browser code. That’s “a Windows WebView2 call that utilizes the Blink rendering engine underneath,” according to DuckDuckGo’s blog post. Fittingly, the browser reports itself as Microsoft Edge at most header-scanning sites.

They’re using whatever’s built into the OS, because they don’t want to be just another Chromium fork

Given that they default to showing an algorithmically curated feed, instead of just by most recent, a strong argument can be made that they’re actively pushing the content you see.

But the guy above is right, it’s more about the choice of affiliation. Certain communities will want their privacy just by their nature.

She’s going to be appearing in a Disney+ show for Marvel. None of those have ever been released for purchase either (and probably never will be).
