So freedom of speech doesn’t exist anywhere? Literally every place has some restrictions.

Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for the validation, sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy with how often these things are repeated.
But those lectures do sound interesting - would you mind linking them when you have the time?
I don’t understand the tendency to attribute harmful behaviours of the rich and powerful to these strange, irrational reasons. No, UK leaders didn’t spend millions upon millions on propaganda because they have a fragile identity. They did it because they’ll make money off of it, and will be able to move the legislation towards their own goals.
It’s the same when people say Putin invaded Ukraine because he wants to restore the glory of the Soviet Union. No, he doesn’t care about any of that, he cares about staying in power and becoming more powerful. One of the best ways to do so is to invade other countries, as long as you don’t lose.
It depends. I really liked Mozillas initiative for local translation - much better for data privacy than remote services. But conversational/generative AI, no thank you.
No way they have CD set up. The interns are raw-dogging that shit through FTP, like in the good old days
You are 100% sure that there is no mention of Wikipedia being integrated into Firefox/Chrome in any page? How thoroughly have you checked?
Where do you see it working? I see the result:
There were no results matching the query.
The extension mentioned in the post is supposed to:
return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals
I don’t see any relevant quotes, or links to articles, or quality signals.
I tried with your comment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&ns0=1&search=I+can+currently+right-click+and+then+click+"Search+on+Wikipedia"+in+the+context+menu.++I+believe+this+works+in+both+FF+and+chromium+browsers.
Why doesn’t this work? If your complaint were valid, this should work.
I didn’t say that, not sure what you’re arguing against?
The idea that it’s in any way easier to monitor for your targets ordering new phones, then covertly moving personnel into that specific shipping facility, having them find the package, open it, flash it, close it and sending it back on its way while hoping they don’t install a new software update, compared to going to a company and saying “deploy this update to that phone” makes absolutely no sense, but you do you.
Because the secret service of one country acting in another country where they don’t have jurisdiction is an international political crisis that could lead to war. Don’t play dumb.
One means a country forcing a company acting inside that country to do something. The other means one country having to ask another country to be allowed to force a company acting inside the other country to do something. See where one is much easier?
I disagree. If the packages aren’t routed through UK, you’d have to work with other countries secret service, distribution companies, and you have much more legal troubles to consider.
Why would they attempt to go through unsold iPhones? They can simply force Apple to push updates to all existing iPhones.
I don’t think there’s a way to make it work for both cases.
It’s actually important that the rail gives in and deforms, as this reduces a cars energy much more quickly and safely than if it were rigid. Unfortunately this also makes them much less effective for larger vehicles.
In the end, it’s a question of protecting as many people as well as possible.
Actual, true AI
I presume you’re talking about e.g. this comment:
PWAs traditionally have had hardware access not available to web pages within the browser. This makes a PWA more of a security risk than a web page, but also means you can have a PWA compass, or a PWA wifi troubleshooting app, or a PWA government ID app that can use the camera and microphone to validate the user outside Apple’s own APIs. It’s more than just extra cookie storage and expanded localstorage.
So if a PWA was deployed via Chrome, Apple would also have to give the Chrome PWA instance those permissions, without Apple being able to have intimate knowledge of the consequences on the back end, since Chrome isn’t WebKit. And Apple doesn’t have the same level of security vetting for third party software (like Chrome) that they do for OS internals (like WebKit).
If this doesn’t represent what you had in mind, could you quote specific comments?
I would disagree with the premise. A website and an application aren’t the same thing just because they are written in the same language (javascript).
This isn’t what I claimed. You are correct that using the same programming language doesn’t mean two things are in the same category, but that’s not my point. They are using the same:
The only difference is that a few additional APIs are available and some browser restrictions have different value. That’s because Progressive Web Apps are literally meant to be websites that provide functionality and have progressive enhancements (i.e. feature detection, you use what you can without breaking because of what you can’t). This means we’re talking about the PWA being the same website, displayed in the same application, served from the same server.
Many, if not most, PWAs are websites that provide the same actual functionality with or without being installed, maybe without a couple niceties (e.g. bigger offline storage). Many don’t use features beyond what they offer as a normal website. This means all there is to distinguish PWAs and websites is how the user opened them on their phone.
It’s a trend-hopping company. Always 1-2 years behind actually valuable topics, but on the forefront on any useless bullshit you can think of.
Ex-IBMer here too. I only heard the motto twice - once when Ginni visited our location, and once when local departments were closed.
Coincidentally there was never any money for me to work on interesting ideas…
I recently did this, and it was fucking annoying to create the app in Google’s Cloud. Incredibly laggy (5-10 seconds until clicks register), loading times of up to a minute between navigations.
This was on a very beefy PC, I suspect the issue is that I used Firefox.
That was pretty much my experience with most of MacOS - you have to pay for many basic features, and pray that the tools have been updated to work on current OS versions.
