They aren’t really even in budget phones anymore. When you don’t want a notch and want a headphone jack there is almost nothing to choose from: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2023&chk35mm=selected&sFormFactors=1&sOSes=2&idDisplayNotch=1 :/

Yeah, just like headphone jacks. Oh wait…

It’s not just that they demand more, they demand more/faster growth all the time. It doesn’t matter that the economy has slowed down to borderline recession, it doesn’t matter that they pretty much captured all the market they can, they still need to make more and more money every quarter otherwise they’re considered a failure even if they are one of the biggest companies in the world.

It generates code and then you can use a call to some runtime execution API to run that code, completely separate from the neural network.

Packages or dependencies with only one maintainer that are this popular have always been an issue, and not just a security one.

What happens when that person can’t afford to or doesn’t want to run the project anymore? What if they become malicious? What if they sell out? Etc.

“Removed by Reddit” implies admin action though.

…or maybe they just don’t want a busy looking logo.

Waiting for Proton to acknowledge and fix critical bugs that can cause data loss was way more painful… took them years with the solution being “just wait for the bridge rewrite it will be (most likely) fixed there”.

Chrome dev tools are better for JS debugging, but Firefox wins with everything else, IMO. Especially their flexbox, grid and font visualizations and debug tools are amazing.

If you ask a user to show you a “core dump” they’re more likely to shit on their floor and send you a photo than do what you actually mean.

Telemetry is absolutely crucial in determining what to focus on in development, to fix issues the users might not even realize exist. Especially for projects that aim at the general public. As long as it’s communicated clearly, used truly only for development purposes and an opt-out is available there’s nothing wrong about it.

On the contrary, it’s the only comparison you can make, since they are literally the only options.

…and there is no way to do that, currently.

That’s not something that’d likely scale enough to bring any meaningful sum of money.

Even then it targets a tiny, tiny minority of their even current userbase, let alone if they want to approach more “average” users.

Unfortunately not; the UK is more or less an exception because they were there very early and copied the US model.

Time has shown though that everyone wants second level domains anyway so even .uk is now open to anyone and they have the weird hold-over .co.uk and similar domains.

They also assert that Bluesky doesn’t federate (it currently doesn’t, but the protocol is designed for federation!) when it’s clear that it now does.

I’m not surprised about the skepticism there though. These are just promises, and we all know that a for-profit entity will happily sacrifice any promies if it means they make more money that way. Also depending on how exactly that federation will work it might be practically useless as well.

I dunno, having a free, open model made by a trusted company would be nice. I like initiatives like Mozilla Voice, this could be something similar. Probably not great if it’s replacing focus on the other things though.

…and, more importantly, none of the donations go towards Firefox development. Instead they go towards “causes” that Mozilla Foundation finds worthy, and usually they have nothing to do with the open web.

Because a lot of the content on national TLDs is relevant only for people of that nation. It helps with name clashes and pushes off stuff that doesn’t make sense in any of the more “global” TLDs.

And for governments, banks and other institutions there should really be some official standard where they pick a single second-level domain and use it for stuff that needs to be secure so anyone anywhere can be sure it’s controlled by the correct entity and not a scammer.

They’re two separate(ish) issues.

But it’s still a bad idea to use national TLDs for stuff that has nothing to do with that nation.

Granted, is ICANN wasn’t just a money-grabbing machine with no forward thinking they wouldn’t give nations clearly “generally desirable” gTLDs, but since they did already that doesn’t mean they should be misused.

I had a similar issue and in my case it ended up being some AMD crap (I think an updater or something) that probably didn’t install properly or something.

IIRC I just ended up disabling the scheduled task that was running it and that was the end of it.
